LEADERS All Cannings were involved in an 11-goal thriller against third placed Maud Heath Sports in Division One of the Vanitec Computers sponsored Chippenham Sunday League.

They maintained their slender lead at the top following their 6-5 victory. They looked to be coasting at 4-0, but the Sports hit back to tie the score at 4-4. Martin Baker (2) and Richard Holman (2) had set the leaders on their way before Dave Beal (2), Matthew Waite and Ian Bailey levelled. An own goal then moved Cannings in front before the Steven Johns equalised once again. Dave Keates had the final say in the final seconds when he made it 6-5.

Chippenham Police recorded their fifth draw of the season, recording a 2-2 scoreline against Atworth United.

The Police dominated the first period and took a deserved 2-1 half-time lead with Paul Doddimead twice and Scott Portsmouth replying for United from the penalty spot. Atworth were on top for the second period and were well worth their point when the Police's Andy Beavan headed into his own goal.

Both sides had goals disallowed and missed chances to claim victory.

Hullavington remain in second position and still boast one of the tightest defences in the league after earning a 4-1 win over Gladstone Liberal Club. After a goalless first half, Phil Garland (2) and Carl Watkins (2) hit Hullavington's goals before Mike Cassidy bagged a late consolation for the Libs.

Bromham lost for the ninth time this season but had one of their best results to date, going down only 2-1 against West Lavington. After an evenly matched first half Bromham fell asleep in the first 20 minutes of the second period which allowed Simon Drewitt and Matt Nash to hit Lavington's goals before Mike Trigo replied.

Trowbridge Harriers are in third spot but threw away a two-goal lead before clinching a 3-2 win over Colerne A. Andy Cooper and John Hubbard (penalty) had put the Harriers in command before Charlie Spirrall and Ben Moore looked to have earned Colerne a share of the spoils before Harriers' Jamie Burbedge scored a magical individual effort in the 88th minute to earn his side an all important two points.

Premier Division

THE Premier Division could be one of the most open for many seasons.

Pilot FC currently head the table after their 4-0 win over Bradford News. The Newsmen, who lost 10-0 last week, held Pilot for the first 45 minutes before falling to goals from Mark James, Gordon Smith, Darren Morris and substitute Chris Farnell.

Corsham FC slipped from pole position after losing 3-0 away to Cooper-Avon Rangers. Frank Coleman hit his first of the season and other goals came from Steve Peglar and 16-year-old Kevin Watts.

Packhorse' first win in six games coincided with a return to form for striker John Ledgister, who scored two as his side defeated Westbury Rangers A 3-1. Steve Richardson added the other, with Andy Craig scoring Rangers' consolation.

Winsley's fifth victory on the trot moved them up into second place following their 2-0 win over Malmesbury Town.

Rivals Corsham Centre United and Box were involved in a classic encounter which eventually went the way of United 3-2.

United led through goals from Darren Hughes, Dave Kilmurray and Frank Rogers before Box replied through Rob Humphries and Ben Sammut.

Box went on to hit the woodwork on a number of occasions but could not find the all important equaliser no matter how hard they pressed.

Division Two

WESTBRIDGE United took full advantage of leaders West End Wanderers' inactivity to leap frog above them at the top of the table following their 4-0 defeat of Sutton Benger.

Chris Stiles set United on the way in the seventh minute and Paul Bendell (2) and Paul Daly completed the scoring.

Terry's FC made it seven wins out of seven after they condemned Cooper-Avon to yet another defeat with a comfortable 8-0 win.

Potley United's mini-revival continued after goals form Steve Healy, Tony Falcone, Liam Healy and Ian Wootton earned them a 4-0 victory over Miller Sports, who are finding life in Division Two much harder than expected.

Kevin Micklejohn turned in an outstanding performance for Pig and Whistle United but it was not enough to save his side from crashing 7-2 to Trowbridge Town Colts. Mark Bridger hit both of United's goals, including one from the penalty spot.

Old Lane United hit seven against Wingfield, who replied with four of their own. Old Lane scored through Marcus Young (3), Mark McIntyre (2), Richard Parker and Stuart White.

Division Three

HIGHEST scorers of the day were Christian Malford, who slammed 13 past a hapless Plough side.

Scott Evans and Ian Ramsey helped themselves to four apiece and Mark Golledge (2), Neil Murray, Gary Blackwood and Ben Head shared the others. The goal of the game went to the Plough's Richard Snarr, who crashed home a sublime volley from 25 yards as his side lost 13-1.

Corsham Park Rangers recorded their first win in 10 games with a 4-2 victory over Hare and Hounds. Paul Smith set Rangers on their way after only two minutes, but this was cancelled out within a minute by James Bayes. Matthew Benson put the Hounds 2-1 in front before Paul Smith levelled with his second goal on 30 minutes. Rangers' super-sub Martin Perrett made it 3-2 in the 80th minute and victory was completed a minute later when Kelvin Stuart struck number four.

Farmhouse FC came from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw against Chippenham Black Horse. Tony Kerwick gave the Horse the lead before Matt Hooper put through his own net to tie the score. Carlos Sgroi made it 2-1 to the Horse before Mark Sheppard struck Farmhouse's equaliser.

North Star B and Southwick Sports and Social Club played their game at Priestly Grove in an excellent sporting manner after the match referee failed to show up. Southwick won 3-1 thanks to a double from Tom Mann and Mark Campbell. Nick Cawley replied for the Star.

Rowde and Biddestone Social Club drew 2-2. Dave Walker hit both goals for Rowde, with John O'Meara and Paul Poiner scoring for Biddestone.

Division Four

BLUE Circle Saints top the table for the first time this season after a thrilling 6-5 win over White Horse.

Chris Sims (2), Pete Scott, Mark Pugh and Clive Black scored for the Horse but it was not enough as goals from Wayne Bristow (2), Graham Kirk, Dean Wheeler, Martin Hemmings and Shaun Harvey helped the Saints leapfrog over Somerford, who were without a game.

Old Road Tavern found themselves 6-0 down at half-time against Classic FC, with goals from Glen Timms (2), Steve Rendell (2), Paul Hussey and Chris Preston.

The Tavern staged a mini-revival in the second half and scored through Rob Dark, Gavin Aplin and Ian Ball, but it was to no avail as Rendell completed his hat-trick in the final ten minutes to end any fears of a Tavern fight back as Classic won 7-3.

Holt FC are hot on the heels of the leaders and maintained their fine run with a 4-2 victory over King Alfred. Dan Burton-Morgan (2), Tim Edgar and Nick Corbett found the net for Holt, Gary Banks and Neil Clark were on target for the King Alfred.

Colerne B had goalkeeper Ray Hewitt sent off when they were leading 1-0 against Roadrunners FC.

His dismissal led to Roadrunners going on to win 3-1 once Steve Ivin had converted from the penalty spot. Dave Shore and Ivin with his second made up Roadrunners' trio, this after Andy Moules had put Colerne one up.

Bradstone Rovers hit six against KSM without reply. Alan Eades (3), Andy Waller (2) and Steve Halliday were all on target.
