CORSHAM Centre claimed the Ken Clarke Memorial six-a-side title for the second successive season at West Lavington on Sunday.

They showed their dominance as six-a-side specialists as their A and B sides battled it out in the final, with the A team lifting the trophy.

The annual event attracted 32 sides to West Lavington playing fields.

After a delayed start due to roadworks, teams were finding goals hard to come by due to the small size of the goals but most of the big sides worked their way into the quarter-finals.

In the last eight, Box Rovers' Yan Klukowski took his goal tally for the day to eight as a double from the prolific striker sent Kings Arms B packing following a 2-0 loss.

West Lavington also crashed out at this stage as Matthew Ralph's solitary strike booked Corsham Centre A their place in the last four.

The Centre's B side enjoyed one of the results of the day as Parsons Nose A were put to the sword, thanks mainly to a fine display from Luke Denham who bagged a brace, Paul Park and Scott Lye completed the quartet.

Although he had 14 pairs of boots to chose from Tom Pang left his goal scoring ones at home as Holt A lost 1-0 to Kings Arms A who made the semis thanks to an own goal.

Goalkeeper James Whitehead was Corsham Centre B's hero in their semi final penalty shoot out victory over Kings Arms A, as two great penalty saves saw him deny Scott Askew and Nathan Flower.

Jack Nicholas and Scott Lye made no mistake with their spot kick for the Centre.

Corsham Centre A needed penalties before booking their place in the final, a closely contested game with Box Rovers ended 0-0 before three superbly converted spot kicks from James Lye, Matt Ralph and Kevin O'Mahony enabled them to set up a final showdown with the supposedly lesser Centre side.

In the final both Centre sides cancelled each other out and in a game of few clear cut chances if any side looked likely to win the game in normal time it looked as if it would be the B team.

But with just 15 seconds remaining, James Lye squeezed the ball between keeper James Whitehead's legs to earn the Centre's A team a 1-0 win.

In the event's inaugural plate competition, for the bottom two sides in each of the first round groups, Spencer Sports A took the honours.

In a nail-biting final against Corsham Park, goals by Spencer's Dan King and Corsham's Paul Smith took the match into the dreaded penalty shoot out.

Spencer's goalkeeper Tim Knight was the hero as he made the vital save in sudden death to help his side lift the trophy.
