ONLY a handful of fixtures survived the weather in the Wiltshire League but those that did provided some exciting cup and league encounters.
Premier Division league leaders Shrewton enjoyed a break from the league strolling to a 5-0 win over Aldbourne in the Corsham Print Senior Cup semi-final.
After a tight first 45 minutes where Aldbourne went closest to scoring, hitting the bar, Shrewton broke the deadlock early into the second-half when Jessie Walters set up Sean Collins to score.
Shrewton goal-machine Dean Foot then got in on the act, scoring twice.
But Shrewton were forced to play out time with 10 men when Collins was injured soon after boss Stuart Withers used up all three of his substitutes.
But Lee Burden made it 4-0 and Luke Kearley added a fifth goal late on.
It was also semi-final time in the Fountain Trophies junior cup both ties getting the go-ahead.
Marlborough Town Reserves reached the final for the very first time with a gripping 5-2 extra-time win over Wanborough United Reserves.
Town were handed the perfect start after the Wanborough defence were caught napping just two minutes into the game and Wayne Presley was allowed to lob the ball into the net.
Wanborough hit back courtesy of Ranford Henry's strike but another goal from Presley restored their one-goal lead at the break.
Visitors Wanborough hit back just 10 minutes into the second-half Steve Jones equalising with an effort at the far post.
And Wanborough could have clinched victory missing a host of chances before the tie drifted into extra-time.
Mid-way through the first period of extra-time Marlborough grabbed the break-through courtesy of Marcus Bray's strike.
Marlborough secured their final place with two second period goals from Jonathan Maslin.
Cricklade Town Reserves will face Marlborough in the final after a 2-1 win over Dunbar Westside Reserves.
An Ian Ross double secured the win for Cricklade with Chris O'Connell scoring for Westside.
Only one game survived in the Premier Division and saw Stratton Crosslink move into second spot in the table with a 1-0 win over Cricklade Town.
Steve Shaw netted the winner for Crosslink after Gerry Wright rounded the goalkeeper before setting him up for a tap-in.
There was only one game in the Intermediate Section which saw second-placed Wanborough United close the gap on leaders Dunbar Westside.
They are just seven points behind Dunbar after beating Sherston 3-2.
Two strikes from Paul Parsons and one from Richard Merchant saw Wanborough bounce back from a 2-0 deficit at the break to clinch all three points.
Top game in the Junior Section was at Ballards Ash where Wootton Bassett United beat league leaders Ferndale Rodbourne 4-2.
A Matt Arnold hat-trick saw Bassett turn around Ferndale's 2-1 lead at the break and throw the title race wide open. Steve Thomas got Bassett's other goal while Terry Brown and Jason Jones were on target for Rodbourne.
Blunsdon United Reserves shocked second placed Wroughton winning 4-2.
