Many teams throughout Wiltshire took part in many league games throughout the weekend, but how did they get on?
National League South – Chippenham and Salisbury
Chippenham Town got back to winning ways after two losses on the bounce, with a 4-0 win against Welling.
The first three goals all came within 15 minutes, as Leone Gravata opened the scoring for the Bluebirds before former Swindon Town striker Harry Parsons doubled the lead in the 11th minute and Tom Owen-Evans made it three just two minutes later.
Liquid football from Chippenham!

It wouldn’t be until 13 minutes to go when it was four. Matthew McClure did well to keep possession in the box and played it across goal to Owen-Evans who wriggled his shot through the keepers legs to register a successful victory.
Salisbury were meant to play Worthing, but the Rebels were busy in the FA Cup as they hosted League Two outfit Morecambe, but fell to a 2-0 defeat.
Southern Premier Division South – Swindon Supermarine
On the 50th game for Marine manager Stuart Fleetwood as his side secured an important win against play-off hopefuls Dorchester Town.
Michael Fernandes’ low cross found Harry Williams at the front post and he volleyed the ball past the opposition keeper to score the only goal of the game.
After staying up by the one point last campaign, Swindon Supermarine are now in 11th place, just four points away from the top seven.
Southern Football League Division One South – Melksham and Westbury
It was a narrow defeat for Melksham on Tuesday as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Evesham United.
Josh Barlow’s superb effort from around 25 yards out was the difference between them and Evesham United.
Despite the loss, they still sit in 5th place as they hope to mount a play-off charge.
Westbury United made it four games unbeaten with a 1-0 win over Bishops Cleeve, a side who almost made it to the first round of the FA Cup.
Josh Jenkins scored from the spot just five minutes in, which was enough to seal an important win at home for the White Horse Men.
