Wick's four-minute treble wins thriller

Sherston had raced into a 3-0 lead within ten minutes with John Wilkins, Andy Wicks and Gavin Thompson scoring.

Nick Oram pulled one back for Cannings before Anthony Vizard made the half time score 4-1. Cannings, who haven't won a home game since December 2003, staged a remarkable comeback as a hat-trick from Steve Bush, one of which came from the penalty spot, and a solo effort from Lee Saunders somehow put the villagers 5-4 to the good with 13 minutes remaining.

Cannings looked on course for their first win in ten outings but Sherston, in need of the points, hit back and levelled through Vizard's second of the game.

But Wick's hat-trick swung the game in Sherston's favour and saw them claim a remarkable 8-5 triumph.

Mark Gerrish opened the scoring for the Dog in the 13th minute and Steve Wickings made it 2-0 on 23 minutes. A brilliant individual effort from Gerrish made it 3-0 before Charlie Powell's long range effort cannoned off the bar and hit the Dog's keeper Craig Guthrie on the head before dropping over the line. News, despite many chances to score, were unable to find a way back into the game and 15 minutes from time Paul Gerrish ran 30 yards to score his first goal for the Dog.

It normally takes Chippenham Police until the end of the season to register double points for the season but this term's improving performances has seen them achieve the feat before the halfway stage. Having already beaten Chippenham Sports & Social Club 2-1 earlier in the season, the Police fancied their chances of claiming another win over their rivals and they took the game to their opponents with Tim Culling heading home a Gordy Hardie corner to put them 1-0 up.

The Sports levelled before the break through Shane Bell. With the wind picking up Police took advantage and forced several corners. One of these resulted in Julian Kirby somehow finding the net with a cheeky backheel that not only surprised the keeper Jones, but also himself.
