THIS ding-dong, stormer of a match on Friday night saw Calne emerge victorious, thanks to a late Andy Waller strike.
It was the second year running Frome had travelled to Bremhill View on a Friday night and gone down to a late goal.
Frome kicked off at a cracking gallop and stretched Calne to the limit with some fine passing moves. The Somerset side took the lead after 12 minutes, with Neil Smith heading in Kieron Whites free-kick.
Calne hung on and got a break on 23 minutes when Frome defender Matt Harris and goalkeeper Andy Crabtree got in a muddle and Toby Colbourne nipped in to tidy things up.
Frome restored their lead early in the second-half, when following an intense period of pressure, Tony Pounder set off on a dazzling 25 run, beating three Calne defenders, before being hauled down by a combination of Steve Alford and goalkeeper Ali Wicks in the box. John Millar confidently converted the spot kick.
Calne chased, hassled and harried their way back into the game again, Dave Clayton's strength on the left releasing Waller to deliver an incisive cross to Colbourne, who banged it in with 60 minutes on the clock.
Calne took the lead eight minutes later as Simon Hillier battled to win two headers in a row, making space for Colbourne to notch his hat-trick from close in.
The reply was immediate as Frome kicked off and charged through the middle, Neil Smith catching Calne mid-celebration and playing a pass to former Calne player Craig Tuck, who cracked in a fine finish from 20 yards.
The match stormed on, as both sides searched for a winner, and Calne snatched it with ten minutes left. Mick Garcia played in Waller on the right, and his wickedly deceptive cross eluded all and bounced in off the post.
Simon Hillier almost extended Calne's lead on 85 minutes, his two point blank efforts being brilliantly saved by Andy Crabtree. The final minutes saw Frome camped in Calne's box, but Calne's determination stood out as everything delivered into the area was cleared .
