CHIPPENHAM SUNDAY LEAGUE: HAVING been close to extinction at the start of the season, West Lavington (Sunday) have turned things around and currently head the Premier Division along with Corsham Cricket Club.

Bradford News remain unbeaten after coming from behind three times against Box Rovers to claim a 3-3 draw. New boy Matt Dancey gave Rovers the lead on his debut. Bradford's 16-year-substitute Charlie Heydon, who was on in place of the injured Gavin Targett, made it level before Ryan Bush restored Rovers' lead from 25 yards.

Heydon made it 2-2, only for Tim Jefferies long range effort to give Rovers back the advantage. Russell Francis claimed Bradford the point when he squeezed home the newsmen's third .

Westbury Rangers A beat All Cannings FC 4-1. Marc Lanfear hit three and Alex Lustkus got the fourth. Nick Oram's penalty was Cannings only consolation.

Division One

CORSHAM Centre's inability to raise a side for their clash with Semington Rovers meant Rovers continue to head Division One above Colerne FC, who defeated Winsley 4-0. Steve Tarren, Richard Smart and a brace from Jake Jefferies made up Colerne's quartet.

Chippenham Police were left wandering how they left North Bradley with nothing after losing to the last kick of the game.

North Bradley scored first after hesitation from Police keeper Martin Notman allowed Tim Benjamin to score his first ever goal. Police levelled through a Tim Gabb own goal.

Again Bradley got their noses in front through debutant Ross Pike but Police led 3-2 at the break thanks to Tim Culling and a fluke cross from Gordon Hardie. Woeful Police finishing was to cost them dear as Bradley equalized via Pike with 15 minutes left and in injury time Pike sealed a great debut hat-trick with shot at the near post.

Paul Bendell had a hand in all three of The Horse and Groom's goals as they beat Wingfield 3-1. Horse's goals came from Paul Daly (2) and Bendell before Stuart Powell netted Wingfield's reply.

Justice Ofosu-Apeasah, Lee Jones and Sami Bakali got the goals.

Kings Arms (Trowbridge) maintained their impressive start to the campaign with a 5-2 defeat of White Horse FC, despite falling behind to a Julian Putt goal after just three minutes.

Kings Arms were on level terms when Scott Askew rifled home a Lee Murden cross. A Nick Gleeson penalty made it 2-1 and when Askew volleyed home another Murden cross to make it 3-1 to the Arms the game was over.

Sam Blake pulled one back for the Horse before Pete Spong tapped home another Murden assist and Craig Hill hit his first goal for the Arms to complete a five star performance. Both sides finished with ten men after Julian Putt (Horse) and Nick Gleeson (Arms) were dismissed. Arms hotshot Askew also missed a penalty.

Sir Audley's Arms remain in second spot even after they lost 6-2 at home to FC Bradford who turned on the style to show everyone that last terms division four championship win was no fluke.

The Arms were caught cold and were 3-0 down before they finally got going by then the damage was already done.

Bradford's new-found goal machine Paul Tunnel bagged three on his debut with Steve Bryant, Jason Harford and Mike Embleton hitting the others. Steve Mallard and Dave Nolan replied for the Arms.

Somerford FC and Bradstone Rovers shared the spoils after drawing 2-2. Goals from Somerford's Chris Yeo and Chris Samerill were cancelled out by strikes from Sean Neale and Kieron McLaughlin with the latter's equaliser 15 minutes from time earning Rovers a valuable point.

Despite hitting the woodwork on no less than five occasions North Star B were thankful to Rob Smith who grabbed the only goal of the game midway through the second period as they beat Classic FC 1-0

Trowbridge Town Supporters Club picked up their first victory of the season at the expense of Old Road Tavern. John Green got on the end of an excellent team move to give Trowbridge the lead which was erased by Andy Crawford's spectacular left footed 30 yard stunner.

Ben John regained the lead for Trowbridge and it was left to the returning Steve Munday to wrap up a 3-1 scoreline with his first goal on his return after injury.

Division Four

FASCIA Graphics went into a storming 6-1 lead at half time against The Crown FC, their first goal being scored just a few minutes after kick off.

Mark Smith (3), Darren Legg (2) and another from Jamie Farquharson gave Fascia the lead they deserved Dean Kerr scored Crowns only goal on the half hour.

The second half saw Crown come out a completely different side after a controversial goal was scored by Graphics, the final touch appeared to come off Craig Lovesy.

Debutant Roger Wiltshire, 16, scored two cracking goals on his debut for Rowde Dynamos who overcame AFC Melksham 3-1.

With chances aplenty for both teams it was surprising that the goal tally was not a lot higher. Geoff Moore went close to giving Melksham the early lead but saw his header cleared of the line.

Rowde finally penetrated Melksham's defence through Ashley Edwards and even though Andy Harrison bought the scores level it was left to Wiltshire to steal the show with his twogoals in the final ten minutes.

Chris Andrews' excellent individual effort midway through the second half was all it took for AFC Springfield to beat Plough 1-0.

Not for the first time this season Wanderers came from behind to earn a draw.

Trailing to KSM to a Olly Turner own goal and a rarity from Kevin Henderson who pounced on a Stuart Parr back pass to give KSM a 2-0 advantage, Wanderers then awoke from their slumber as Dominic Sheppard headed home to cut the gap and then a perfect free kick from Nick Tate five minutes from time earned Wanderers a 2-2 stalemate.

Top of the table Bar OC hosted the inconsistent AFC Pilot on a blowy morning at Bromham.

The home side started the sharper of the two and Rob Drown should have done better after eight minutes when, unmarked, he headed over from six yards. Twenty minutes later, a Pilot defender unwittingly helped on Luke Rudman's inswinging corner but Carl Jackson was alert enough to clear the danger at the back post.

A minute later, Rudman had a glorious chance but with the goal at his mercy he blazed over the bar. In a scrappy first half, Bar OC deservedly took the lead after 38 minutes.

The outstanding Darren Brown, reverted to his normal midfield role, found Mark Hulland surging through the Pilot's back four. Hulland skipped a desperate last-ditch tackle and slipped the ball past Nick Bryant for the opener. Pilot flew straight back at Bar OC after the break and grabbed an equaliser within three minutes.

John Hampshire palmed away Steve Bierne's free kick and the resulting scramble saw midfielder Lee Ridout stab the ball home from close range. Four minutes later, Bar's sweeper Tom Paget strode forward and set up Rob Drown.

His fierce drive was nonchalantly flicked over the bar by Bryant in the Pilot goal. Bar OC nearly reclaimed the lead in bizarre fashion a minute later, when Andy Webster's low cross was nearly turned into his own goal by Pilot's Matt Gurke.

Rudman spurned another chance from the edge of the box shortly after when set up by Kevin Hamersley.

Andy Webster came close three times within a matter of minutes just after the hour. Firstly, his diving header rattled the post with Bryant beaten.

He then wasted another chance two minutes later after Rob Drown appeared to be bundled over the penalty area. Within a minute, Bryant was again relieved when he just managed to turn over the burly striker's free kick.

With the game petering out into a draw, it was substitute Mikey O'Donnell who decided the encounter. His sweetly struck free kick with five minutes left curled over Nick Bryant to make it 2-1.

Pilot threw everything forward in the dying minutes and nearly snatched a point when Tony Couch's corner was headed off the line by Darren Brown.
