MARLBOROUGH Town ran out 3-1 winners over Pewsey Vale in a lively local derby in the under 16s Red Division of the Wiltshire Times and Chippenham News Mid-Wilts Youth and Minor League.

Pewsey were unlucky not to open the scoring, hitting a post and seeing a shot cleared off the line in early attacks.

Once Ben Crame fired Marlborough ahead it was the home side who began to get on top and only good goalkeeping from Pewsey's Scott Hull prevented a more commanding half-time lead.

Marlborough dominated the second half but chances kept going begging.

A Will Bryant penalty came back off the bar and several excellent crosses went unconverted before Roger Hill finally made it 2-0.

With ten minutes to go Pewsey were suddenly back in the game when a corner was headed home, but straight from the restart Crame finished a great run with his second of the game to restore the two goal lead seeing Marlborough finish 3-1 winners.

FC Chippenham moved up to third following their away clash with Westbury Youth. Andrew Bull put the visitors ahead, with Leon Bater replying for Westbury. Nathan Pritchard regained the lead for Chippenham before Bull scored twice more to secure the victory at 4-1.
