Screwfix First Division: A late winner from Rob Peters consigned Corsham Town to another dose of local derby misery as near neighbours Larkhall took the spoils in front of a bumper Southbank crowd on Monday night.

The result saw the Larks complete a league double over struggling Corsham, who have also failed to beat Wiltshire rivals Westbury and Calne at home this term.

Defeat was a particularly bitter pill to take for joint-manager Dave King, a former Larkhall manager and whose sons Andy and Steve are on the books at Plain Ham.

Said King: "We had a big crowd, with it being on a Monday night, and the Corsham people will have gone home disappointed.

"Larkhall brought a few up with them as well and my family were in the crowd. I shall be getting some light-hearted stick from them, I'm sure.

"We still haven't won a local derby this season but have still got Calne and Westbury to play away. We live in hope and will just need to play well enough in those games to get the points."

Poor finishing cost Corsham once again on Monday night as they carved out and missed a string of second half chances. Said King: "We didn't play very well in the first half but they didn't really open us up or hurt us. It was a midfield battle.

"We gave the players a roasting at half time and we played a lot better in the second half. We just haven't taken our chances and then, with five minutes to go, they scored the winner. It was gut-wrenching.

"Scoring wins you games and Monday night was the story of our season. If we'd have scored first then I'm confident we would have gone on to score two or three."

Craig Chaplin made a superb stop to keep the scores level at the break following a non-eventful first-half, and Corsham dominated for a 25-minute spell at the beginning of the second period.

Jon Scott hit the Larkhall crossbar, while Rob Humphries and Steve Caines were off-target as the home team continued to press.

Humphries somehow failed to convert Jamie Harrison's cross from six yards out and Corsham were made to pay when big striker Peters slid home the winner on 85 minutes.

King is looking for an improvement when his side face Bristol Manor Farm at home on Saturday.

He said: "They are a better side than Larkhall. They are a hard, physical side, well organised and have some quality players.

"It will be a difficult game. We've got to lift ourselves and hopefully put the ball in the net."
