Wroughton keeper Simon Lowe earned his side a place in the second round of the Wilts Senior Cup when he saved a couple of penalties in a shoot out with Trowbridge Town after the two sides were level on two goals each after extra time.
In a closely-fought tie Glenn Armstrong gave Wroughton the lead in 20 minutes, Trowbridge equalising a minute later. The score remained until the first period of extra time when Sean Clarke put Wroughton ahead again only for the visitors to draw level in the closing stages of the second period.
It was then that Wroughton keeper Lowe earned his corn making a couple of good stops to soothe manager Chris Pethick's nerves.
Stratton Crosslink also made it to the second round of the competition with a 4-1 win over Aldbourne. Two goals in the first 20 minutes from Darren Hawkins put Crosslink on the road to victory, Nick O'Dwyer pulling a goal back for Aldbourne on the half hour. After the break second half goals from Jerry Wright and Steve Shaw made sure of victory for Crosslink.
Marlborough Town found Hellenic League Pewsey Vale too strong for them in their first round tie, losing 8-1. Pewsey took an early lead through Craig Wall, Richard Jackson equalising for the home side midway through the half.
The visitors then scored two further goals before the break and completely dominated the second half scoring a further five goals. On target for Pewsey were Craig Wall (4), Darren Cummings (2), Ross Anderson and Paul Day.
Bradford Town almost caused an upset just losing out 4-3 to Hellenic League Malmesbury Vics after extra time.
After 90 minutes the sides were level at 2-2, with Steve Roddy and Charlie Powell on target for Bradford and Stuart Greatwood and Alan Griffin for the Vics.
Robbie Simmonds gave Bradford the lead in the first period of extra time but the Vics fought back to level the scores with a strike from Andy Sandall, the same player scoring the winner from the penalty spot in the closing minutes.
