There was a mixture of league and cup action in the U18 Floodlight Division of the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League this week. On Monday night Kintbury Rangers and Amesbury Town shared two goals and the points following a 1-1 draw, Kevin Ventura getting the Kintbury goal with a fifth goal of the season from Brandon Crofts for Amesbury. The draw left both teams where they started the night in the league table, with Amesbury in seventh spot with Kintbury Rangers one place below in eighth spot.
Unfortunately, the scheduled game between Wims 11 and Westbury United was postponed due to pitch unavailability.
On Wednesday night Devizes Town became the first team in the division to complete their fixtures with a 3-2 win away at Trowbridge Town who have been much more competitive in the back end of the season following their change of manager. In the end goals from Ben Charles, Kye Stockman and a 15th of the season from Theo Drewitt were enough to give Devizes the three points to end their season on a winning note. The two goals for Trowbridge were scored by Hobie Jones and Junior Gweshe.
After a long break whilst others played catch-up with their fixtures Swindon Supermarine finally saw some action on Thursday night and showed no signs of rustiness as they extended their lead at the top of the table to five points with a 3-1 away win at Amesbury Town. There were two goals for Miguel Pedro and one for Bailey Packer, with Jack Pearce getting the Amesbury Town reply. Swindon Supermarine now have just the one game to play, away to Kintbury Rangers a week on Monday. The win for Swindon Supermarine guaranteed them at least runners-up spot but they can still be caught by Calne Town who have four games still to play and trail Supermarine by those five points.
In addition to the three league games there were also two games in the League Cup on Thursday night. The final quarter final tie between Melksham Town and Radstock Town was held at Melksham, and it say a close encounter with the teams all level at 2-2 at the end of 90 minutes meaning penalties would be needed to settle matters. In the shootout it was Radstock who held their nerve, winning the shootout to progress to the semi-final against Wims 11 which is set to take place next week. On target for Melksham in normal time were Ted Scott and Felix Scott, with Freddy Cue and Tommy Nairn getting the Radstock goals.
The other game in the cup was the first of the two semi-final ties between Gillingham Town and Kintbury Rangers. The game itself went the way of Kintbury, goals from Fin Corcoran, Stan Herdman and Bobby Cannings giving them a 3-1 win. Unfortunately, there were once again reports of misbehaviour by Kintbury supporters, which is not the first time this season that has happened, which are now with the Berks & Bucks FA.
