WESTBURY United let a two-goal lead slip to lose 3-2 away to high-flying Hamworthy United in Southern League Division One South on Saturday.
The White Horse Men were handed a first-half advantage by Harvey Flippance and Gary Higdon, only for third-place Hamworthy to convert a penalty on the stroke of half-time. The hosts then turned the game on its head with a strike in the 80th and 87th minute, respectively to break Westbury hearts.
Elsewhere, Melksham Town were able to salvage a point over the weekend in their 2-2 draw against Evesham United.
Albie Hopkins gave Mark Collier’s men an early lead, but Evesham levelled after a period of pressure midway through the first half. The visitors then took the lead five minutes into the second half, but Ralph Graham netted Melksham’s equaliser 17 minutes from time.
Melksham were due to be in action on Tuesday night against promotion-chasing AFC Totton, but the game was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.
In the Hellenic League Premier Division, Corsham Town demolished struggling Shrivenham 5-0 on Saturday – a result which took the Quarrymen up to fourth.

Meanwhile, it was another disappointing weekend for struggling Bradford who were defeated 4-1 at home to promotion-hunting Cribbs on Saturday.
