Last week in the Under 18 Floodlight Division of the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League saw a mix of league and cup games played.
In the league the big game at the top of the table saw Calne Town entertain leaders Swindon Supermarine. Going into the game Swindon Supermarine held an eight-point lead over their opponents. That differential remains unchanged after the two sides fought out a 1-1 draw, Bailey Packer getting the Swindon Supermarine goal and Owen Jones scoring for Calne Town. Supermarine have just two games to go, both away from home, whereas Calne Town have six games still to play, starting this Thursday night when they host Westbury United.
Third placed Bishops Cannings closed the gap to the top two with a comfortable 7-0 away win at bottom of the table Trowbridge Town on Wednesday night. Star of the show was Kory Wildman who scored a hat-trick, Jack Spanswick bagged a brace to take his total for the season to 17, with further goals from Thomas Thomas and Aaron Waldron.
Melksham Town moved up to fourth place with a six-point haul from their games against Amesbury Town and Radstock Town. On Monday night two goals from Callum Kirkman and one apiece for Darul Jones and Billy Burton saw them defeat Amesbury Town 4-2 at Oakfields, Marvin Acheampong and Jack Pearce getting the two in reply for Amesbury. Melksham followed this up on Wednesday with a 3-0 away win at Radstock Town, Oscar Hall scoring twice and Letrell Flower with the other Melksham goal. Whilst 22 points adrift of league leaders Swindon Supermarine, Melksham have six games in hand and still have eight league games to play, plus they also remain involved in the League Cup.
In addition to the league games two games were played in the League Cup and one tie awarded when Devizes Town failed to raise a side for their trip to Wims 11 giving Wims a free pass into the semi-final.
Kintbury Rangers join them in those semi-finals after a comfortable 5-1 away win over Westbury United. The goals were shared around the team with Harry Joyce, Fin Corcoran, Silas Whitehead, Bobby Canning and Charlie Millar all finding the back of the net.
It was a much tighter affair in the other League Cup quarter final tie between Amesbury Town and visitors Gillingham Town. At the end of 90 minutes the two sides could not be separated both scoring twice meaning penalties would be needed to settle matters. It was Gillingham who held their nerve to win the shootout 3-1 to progress to the last four. The goalscorers in normal time for the two sides were Brandon Crofts and Jack Pearce for Amesbury Town and Harry Todd and Archie Appleby for Gillingham Town.
