DEVIZES delivered one of their best performances of the season as they held GoCrea8 League Conference North leaders Robinsons to a 2-2 draw.

The visitors started strongly for the first quarter-of-an-hour, eventually finding a way past the excellent Aaron Holloway in the Devizes goal to make it 1-0.

But going behind ignited the home side, who created plenty of scoring opportunities and corners.

Just before the end of the half, that pressure told as a fine run from Ollie Smith ended with the ball blasted into the roof of the net.

The second half began as the first had ended, Devizes dominating the leaders and taking the lead, which they defended well despite injuries and sin-binnings, only to concede a late equaliser.

Goals from Luke Morris and Mark Knight could not prevent Chippenham from slipping to their third GoCrea8 League Conference North home defeat of the season as county rivals Swindon ran out 3-2 winners.

David Siggins and Martyn Chivers handed Wootton Bassett a 2-1 victory over bottom side Sidmouth & Ottery.

Chippenham A moved joint top of Central Two as they beat Bristol & West A 4-3.

It was 2-2 at half-time, Henry Price scoring twice for the visitors, and the second half was also even as Price completed his treble after Harry Elias had also netted.

In East Central One, Chippenham B lost 4-0 to Swindon A, while Devizes A romped to a 12-1 win at West Wilts B, Nick and Rory Sherman sharing six goals and Felix Plant scoring twice, with further strikes for Jack Gompels, Alex Carter and Kofi Pegdan.

Chippenham C team’s yo-yo East Central Two season continued with a disappointing 2-1 defeat at home to Shepton Mallet B, Rick Law on target for the home side.

IN THE West Clubs Women’s League, Chippenham are still searching for a first home win of the season in Premier Division 2A after a 3-1 reverse to Gloucester 2.
