Just two of the four scheduled games in the Premier Division of the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League went ahead in midweek as the weather and Covid-19 precautions once again caused the loss of fixtures.
The action that did go ahead saw Corsham Town Reserves
continue their return to form with a hard fought 1-0 away win at Devizes Town Reserves, Adam Shipman with his third of the season securing the three points for Corsham. The second win of the week for Corsham lifted them a couple of places in the table to 11th spot ahead of Saturday’s home game with Shrewton United who they beat twice and drew once with in the three meetings between the sides last season . Devizes meanwhile will go in search of their second victory of the season on Saturday when they host Odd Down Reserves.
On Wednesday night the two sides from over the border in Somerset did battle in the first league meeting between Odd Down Reserves
and Frome Collegians. The home side Odd Down led 2-1 at the break thanks to two goals from Harvey Kendrick but two unanswered second half goals for visitors Frome ensured it was they who returned to winning ways after a couple of defeats away from home. Two goals from Barry Sandquest and one from the division’s leading scorer Jake Wright, who moved onto 13 for the season, secured the three points for Frome in a closely contested game in which Odd Down probably deserved to get something out of the match. The win for Frome saw them move above Shrewton United in the table into fifth spot. Frome’s return to form is timely with the visit of third placed Royal Wootton Bassett Town this coming Saturday, with Frome looking to end the only unbeaten record remaining in the division. Odd Down meanwhile make that trip to Devizes on Saturday.
The game between Malmesbury Vics Development and Royal Wootton Bassett Town was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch and the game between Pewsey Vale and Ludgershall Sports was postponed as precaution with regard to Covid-19.
