Chippenham Sunday League

Hullavington, who played the whole game with just 10 players, fell behind to a Steve Roddy goal.

Craig Samuels pulled Hullavington level but they were unable to hold out as Steve Wickins, who was making his first start since November, restored the Dog's lead on 55 minutes. Wickins made it 3-1, 20 minutes later. Two minutes after Roddy flicked home his 35th goal of the campaign and Mark Gerrish rounded things off when his cross from 30 yards eluded everyone and ended up in the net.

Bradford News condemned near neighbours Winsley to relegation.

After avoiding the drop from the Premier Division last term due to teams pulling out, Winsley needed to beat the newsmen to have any hope of survival but their luck finally ran out as they were defeated 5-0.

West Lavington have proved that they can live with the big guns. Their first season in the Premier Division has seen them surpass their greatest expectations and should they win their final match at home to Terry's they will take fourth spot at worst.

Lavington will go into that game on the back of a stunning 6-1 win over Box Rovers. Simon Drewitt bagged two first half goals for Lavington and went on to add another two in the second half. Darren Thorpe completed Lavington's half dozen with a second half brace. Tim Jefferies replied for Rovers.

Division One

BIDDESTONE Social's point from their game with Colerne was good enough to see them gain promotion to the Premier Division.

Whether it will be as champions or runners up has still to be decided.

Colerne outplayed Biddestone for long periods and only a last minute goal from Paul Poiner saved them from defeat.

Poiner put Biddestone in front when he bundled home a Rob Pocock cross in the 22nd minute. Richard Smart fired Colerne level on 30 minutes and nine minutes into the second period Smart gave Colerne the lead that they held until the 90th minute when Poiner struck to earn the leaders a 2-2 draw.

Second placed Maud Heath Sports dropped a vital point in their bid for promotion, but Trowbridge Harriers received a huge blow to their hopes when they lost 4-2 at home to relegation threatened Chippenham Police.

Semington Rovers gifted Maud Heath the lead when Ollie Fenwick pounced on a defensive error. Rovers' equaliser came from an own goal from Chris Edes which saw the final score finish at 1-1.

Wesley Bray and Stuart Donohoe were outstanding for Rovers who came close to winning the game when Graham Pearce rattled the post.

Trowbridge Harriers' unexpected loss at the hands of Chippenham Police lifted the boys in blue out of the bottom two, but with just one game left to play it is looking likely that the Police and Atworth United will face the drop as nearest rivals West End Wanderers are discovering the form that will see them move away from the danger zone.

Harriers played much of their game with the Police with only 10 men after Matty Hobbs was sent off, this after he had scored his side's opening goal. Ali Stokes was the Trowbridge side's other hit man. Steve Davis, Jason Roberts and Steve Lever, whose two goals were his first of the season, saw the Police to a welcome win.

After a goal-less first half Wingfield and Atworth United shared eight goals and the points as their clash finish in a 4-4 stalemate.

Division Two

WITH the top two sides without a league match, Holt and North Bradley Saints were unable to close the gap on their rivals as their games were postponed.

Holt were unable to raise a side for their game while the Saints proved that the silly season is upon us as they failed to make their trip to Bradley as most of their team failed to move their clocks forward one hour.

Roadrunners' days in the league could be numbered as they were unable to raise a team for their trip to Sutton Benger. This is the second time in three weeks that Roadrunners have failed to turn up for a game causing concern that they may not complete their fixtures.

Biddestone Arms were undone by a gutsy Spencer Sports side who were missing a number of their key players. Despite the handicap the Sports still came away from Biddestone with a 3-1 win. The Sports went in front when Ben Grinham headed home a Tim Knight corner before a Dean Fry special from 30 yards bought the sides level.

Tom Evans edged the Sports in front and the game was made safe in bizarre circumstances when John Beattie's free kick hit the head of Dale Pearce and fell kindly to Ralph Plummer who made no mistake from 12 yards.

Division Three

IT'S as you were at the top of as leaders Parsons Nose and second placed Four Seasons saw their games postponed.

Dave Austin's Seasons were unable to raise a side for their trip to Westbury Rangers B while Parsons Nose pitch at Audrey Avenue was left unplayable after the council had carried out work on it.

Already relegated Cooper-Avon recorded only their third win of the campaign with a resounding 5-1 defeat of Trowbridge Town Supporters' Club. The tyremen played above themselves and led 3-0 through a hat-trick from Andy Morrison, who profited from some poor defending by the Town.

Steve Munday pulled one back for the Town before Morrison added another to his tally and Jamie Oliver completed the scoring.

For Kevin Williams' Trowbridge side it was a disaster all round and things went from bad to worse as they are likely to be without Steve Munday and Chris Rawlings for the rest of the season as both players ended up in hospital, with Munday suffering a suspected broken ankle.

Hare and Hounds and Bradstone Rovers fought out a 3-3 draw. The Hounds hit back after trailing 2-0 to goals from Alan Eades and Andy Starolosky to lead 3-2 which came about after a double substitution from manager Gary Wootton. Wootton introduced himself and Nick Morris to the game and was instantly rewarded when the former set up his brother Tim Wootton who reduced the gap.

Morris then tied the scores at 2-2 with his first goal in his first game for over a year on his return from injury. Tim Wootton finished well to give the Hounds the lead, after again being set up by brother Gary. Just as the Hounds were celebrating victory Eades popped up to gate crash the party to hit Bradstone's equaliser.

Old Lane United have hit a purple patch of late. Their 5-3 victory over Sir Audley's Arms saw them record a third straight win which moved them up into sixth place in the table.

Ben Husband was instrumental in their win with a glorious treble. His first set United on their way and when Jamie Collier made it 2-0 United looked well placed, but the Arms came back immediately with goal machine Steve Mallard levelling the scores with a double which included one from the penalty spot.

Husband regained the lead for United but once again the Arms hit back as Nick Gapper headed them level. Husband's hat-trick goal put United back in front and Kelvin Page finally buried any hopes the Arms had of another revival with goal number five.

Division Four

CHAMPIONS FC Bradford extended their winning run to 22 matches by defeating second in the table Virgin Mobile 3-1.

Bradford's goalkeeper Aaron Harford played a massive part in their win with a number of crucial stops at important times .

Bradford won with goals from Robin Walker (2) and Shaun Daniels, with Mark Hynes replying for Virgin.

Third placed Kings Arms saw off the challenge of Classic FC. Shaun Murray scored both goals in a 2-0 win, which now gives them the edge over Virgin to finish as runners up.

It was a case of de-ja-vu for KSM when they met Rowde. Just like last weekend KSM took the lead but ended up losing 2-1. Kevin Clifton's opener for KSM was cancelled out by Phillip Crew who scored in the 65th and 89th minutes after coming on as a substitute.

White Horse FC left it late before defeating Old Road Tavern. The Tavern out fought the Horse in the first 45 minutes but only led 1-0 through a Martin Woolford goal.

The Horse came storming back in the second half but only drew level in the 84th minute through Mark Pugh.

Two minutes later Pugh made it 2-1 and he completed his hat-trick in the 90th minute to earn the Horse a 3-1 victory.

Craig Bennett was on target for Plough but it was not enough to prevent them from losing 4-1 away to Bear Casuals, whose goals came from Chris Bishop, Lee Jackson, Andy Sayer and Chris Balecke, his first goal fro the club.
