The draw for the Quarter Finals of the Wiltshire County FA Senior Cup was made today and the two remaining sides from the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League will both meet higher league opposition.
Trowbridge Town's reward for knocking out Toolstation Western League side Devizes Town is a home tie against Calne Town who last night defeated Cricklade Town, Calne's win meant their would be just the two sides from the league in the last eight. Cricklade, however, put up a good performance against their high-flying opponents from the Toolstation Western League and remained well in the match for a long period in the game. They had gone behind on 21 minutes when Max Wyatt opened the scoring for Calne but it remained 1-0 at the break. The same player then extended the lead around the hour mark to make it 2-0 to Calne. Cricklade continued to compete well but in the end lack of recent game time took its toll, they had not played in a completed match since 5th October. Kieran Gleed made it 3-0 a minute from time, then deep into added time Jake Allen made it 4-0 to Calne Town who will now make that trip to Trowbridge in the Quarter Final. Of the eight teams remaining, Calne Town are the last winners having lifted the cup in season 2011-12, whilst Trowbridge are the last finalist and winner from the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League, having lifted the Cup in Season 2003-4.
Wroughton's reward for knocking out fellow Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League side Stratton Juniors is a trip to Sydenhams Wessex League side Laverstock & Ford. Laverstock sit just below midway in the Division One league table and Wroughton, who have won every game played so far this season, will fancy their chances of knocking out their higher league opponents.
The other ties in the Quarter Finals see Malmesbury Victoria from the Uhlsport Hellenic League travel to take on Bemerton Heath Harlequins from the Sydenhams Wessex League and Corsham Town from the Western League at home to another Wessex League side Downton.
