Hullavington first to book their cup place

The Fourth Division side were always going to struggle against the team from the top flight but they did not disgrace themselves.

Hullavington's goals came from Darren Legg, Michael Hunt, Mike Cassidy and Andy Martin.

Premier Division

CALNE Town's 4-0 defeat at Winsley means they have failed to record a win in any of their 22 matches.

Winsley's win means that they must defeat local rivals Bradford News in their final match of the season if they are to have any chance of climbing out of the drop zone. Dan Lardner (2), Luke Harfield and Nick Metcalf shared the goals for Winsley who after their first 10 games of this term had failed to collect a point.

West Lavington have enjoyed their first season in the top flight and their 2-1 victory over Bradford News ensures them of at least a top five finish.

After taking a lead within the first minute when Steve Moxham tapped home after Dave Muffet had spilled a free kick, they had to battle for win number 12. Steve Rendell equalised on the half hour when he converted Charlie Powell's cross, but Lee Campbell won it for Lavington with the winner 15 minutes from time.

Westbury Rangers A maintained their push for second spot after they over powered Terry's FC 5-1. Pete Ayton (2), Marc Lanfear (2) and Paul Smith shared Rangers' goals with Terry's consolation coming from Andy Colebrook

In wet and windy conditions All Cannings FC and The Duke Corsham conjured up an eight goal thriller which finished 4-4.

The Duke found themselves 2-1 down against the run of play as Paul Hiscock and then Lee Saunders sandwiched Craig Chaplin's goal for the Duke. Keith Dawdry, playing in his first competitive game in nine years, was given the task of keeping Cannings strikers at bay but with 20 minutes remaining the Duke found themselves with a mountain to climb as further goals from Lee Saunders and Nick Oram helped Cannings build up a 4-1 lead. Thanks to late goals from Dave Crawford, Jeremy Carey and Neil Blackman the Duke managed to gain a point.

Division One

BIDDESTONE Social's 2-0 win over fellow promotion hopefuls Trowbridge Harriers means that the villagers are just one point away from a second consecutive promotion.

Biddestone overcame the elements and a strong challenge from the Harriers to win with goals from Danny Jones, who gave them the lead after 34 minutes, and John O'Meara, who picked himself up to fire home a 62nd minute penalty.

At the foot of the table it is still any two from four clubs who are possible relegation candidates.

Atworth United, who were without a game, currently occupy the bottom spot while Chippenham Police are just above them.

The Police were handed home advantage for their game with Semington Rovers after the pitch at Steeple Ashton was deemed unplayable, but the Police still fell to a 4-0 defeat, with goals from Bobby Mitchell, who volleyed home Dave Castle's cross to set Rovers on their way. A rare strike from Ricky King made it 2-0 before James Eatough completed the win with two second half goals.

West End Wanderers, who are just above the drop zone, lost out on the chance to move clear when Maud Heath Sports were unable to raise a team for their clash while Colerne, the other of the four sides that are staring relegation in the face, took a point away from an in-form Horse and Groom side.

Paul Bendell, who later suffered a recurring knee injury that will almost certainly see him sidelined with fellow striker Paul Daly for a few weeks, cancelled out Jamie Bowler's opener for Colerne. Graham Hunter put the Horse ahead before Steve Tarren, with an excellent diving header, earned Colerne their point.

Division Two

ONLY two games survived the elements in Division Two, with North Bradley and Spencer Sports emerging victorious after wins over Somerford FC and Southwick Sports respectively.

Doubles for Danny Irons and Chris Sadd and singles from Daniel Foster, Craig Brown and Jeremy Almond gave Bradley a 7-3 win over Somerford, whose replies came from Chris Yeo (penalty), Alex Farriday and Richard Chandler.

Spencer Sports overturned a 3-1 deficit to defeat Southwick Sports 5-3. Carl Davies' opener for Southwick was erased by Tim Knight when he slotted home from the penalty spot to make it 1-1. Tom Mann and another Davies effort gave Southwick a two goal cushion before Tim Knight added two more to complete his hat-trick, with Paul Eames and Tom Evans adding the others.

Division Three

PARSONS Nose opened up at four point lead on second placed Four Seasons after they defeated Hare and Hounds 3-1 and the Seasons' clash with Sir Audley's Arms was postponed.

After a goal-less first period that saw Tim Wootton hit the bar for the Hounds, the Nose raced 3-0 ahead within 15 minutes of the restart thanks to a thunderbolt from Gavin Bailey plus efforts from Rick Noonan and Craig Townsend. Niall McLean pulled one back for the Hounds but it was a case of too little too late.

A Paul McCarty hat-trick looked good enough to give Pig and Whistle United both points from their game with Bradstone Rovers. Leading 3-1 and with time running out, United looked on course to arrest a run of five games without a win, but Rovers, who had won their last three games, had other ideas and they hit back to steal a point with a 3-3 stalemate. Alan Eades (2) and Ryan Kelleher scored.

Martin Perrett was Corsham Park Rangers' man of the moment, as his double in their 4-1 success over Cooper Avon took his goal tally for the club to 50. Gordon Willshire and Servet Aslan were Rangers' other hit men, Andy Morrison bagged Cooper's consolation.

Westbury Rangers B suffered their 12th postponement of the season. With seven games left to play Rangers could complete their season without having to play midweek matches but it is looking more likely that they will have to take part in some evening games.

Division Four

PLOUGH moved away from the foot of the table after they defeated Rowde 2-0.

This result coupled with KSM's 5-0 home defeat by Kings Arms saw the Bradford side leap above both Rowde and KSM who now occupy the wooden spoon position. Gary Taylor gave the Plough the lead in their game with Rowde when he volleyed home Geoff Remington's excellent cross and the game was made safe for the Plough when Matthew Stevens put through his own net for the Bradfordians' second.

Scott Askew and Matt Minnis both hit doubles for the Kings Arms as they overcame KSM 5-0. Nasseem Abourachid added goal number five for the Trowbridge side to maintain their aspirations of claiming an automatic promotion spot as they closed the gap on Virgin Mobile to just one point with a game in hand.

FC Bradford were without Aaron Harford and Lee Moran for their clash with Bear Casuals and despite trailing 2-1 at the interval they hit back to record win number 21 of the season. Robin Walker caught the Bear on the break to put Bradford in front. Lee Jackson and Steve Beirne, who scored from the penalty spot, fired the Melksham based team ahead but within 15 minutes of the restart Bradford were 5-2 to the good as goals from Shaun Daniels, Jason Harford (2) and Walker looked to have put them well in command.

Nigel Hall cut the deficit with his first goal for the Bear and Lee Baston set up a tense finish when he scored a late penalty. But the Bear were unable to add a fifth and had to settle for a 5-4 defeat.

Goals from Nick Bloodworth (2) and Lee Pitcher gave North Star B a commanding 3-0 interval lead against Classic FC and in spite of Classic hitting back to set up nervous finale the Star hung on for a 4-3 win after the aging Martin Bance set up Simon Clifford for what proved to be the Star's winning goal.

Nick Still (2) and an own goal from Ashley Lawrence accounted for Classic's goals. North Star finished the game with only eight players due to injuries, the worst suffered by Nick Benson, who was taken to hospital with a damaged knee.
