There was a mixed set of results in the pre-season games involving sides from the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League in the final Saturday before the commencement of the league season.

Season 2018-19 champions Wroughton took on higher league opposition in the shape of Uhlsport Hellenic League outfit Shrivenham. Wroughton pushed a side who play two steps above them in the National League System all the way eventually going down by the odd goal in five. Shrivenham went two up but a well struck free kick from Craig Bowden got Wroughton back into the game. Shrivenham restored their two-goal advantage with a shot from the edge of the box. Whilst Devan Bryan pulled another one back for Wroughton that was the end of the scoring. Highlights of the game were captured by Your Sport Swindon and can be viewed using the link at the bottom of the days round-up or the link on the Your Sport Swindon page.

Marlborough Town have been the busiest side in the Premier Division of the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League and played their seventh pre-season game with a visit to Step 6 side Devizes Town. It was their higher-level opponents who had the better of things running out 4-0 winners.

Odd Down Reserves, like Pewsey Vale, have had a good pre-season to date. In a hastily arranged friendly after the intended fixture was called-off Odd Down defeated Gloucestershire Northern Senior League Division 2 side Abbeymead Rovers 3-1. Goals from Dan Taylor, Josh Riccio and a rare strike from assistant manager Terry Wade gave Odd Down the win.

Purton seem to have hit form at the right time, and they made it three wins on the bounce with an emphatic 10-1 win over Swindon & District Premier League side Nalgo Sports. Charity sponsored Lewis Petrie fired a hat-trick with the other 7 goals being shared around the team with one each for Josh Morse, Jack Duckers, Danny Hale, Liam Crabbe, Aaron Dainton, Joe English and Mitchell Petrie.

Frome Collegians went into their game at Somerset County League Division One side Somerton Town on the back of two encouraging wins. With the game evenly poised at half time, Frome had one of those second half performances to forget as they shipped six goals and only managed one in reply, Sam Wright with the Frome goal.

Malmesbury Vics Development were involved in an ill-disciplined game against Swindon & District League Premier Division side Ruby Removals. Trailing 3-0 to their visitors, Malmesbury staged a fight back, Joe Tranter and Josh Hughes both getting a brace to give Malmesbury a 4-3 win in the end.

Corsham Town Reserves took a trip across the border to take on Somerset County League Premier Division side Clevedon United and in a high-scoring game went down by the odd goal as the home side won 4-3. On target for Corsham were Emilio Mudrak, Jamie Cunning and Ryan Withers.

Melksham Town Reserves entertained Uhlsport Hellenic League Division One side Malmesbury Victoria and went in front against their higher level opponents but Malmesbury equalised on the half hour mark and then scored the winner early in the second half, 2-1 the final score.

Shrewton United have taken on some tough opposition in their pre-season games, the latest one being Hampshire Premier League side Colden Common. A 6-1 reverse for one of our leading sides shows there is still work to do ahead of the new season

Royal Wootton Bassett Town Development met last season’s leading side from the Toolstation Western League Division One, Calne Town, at the Gerard Buxton Ground with the game played on their AGP.

Ludgershall Sports entertained Netheravon and trailed 2-1 at the break. A much improved second half saw them overcome their visitors to win 5-3.

Three Premier Division sides were in action on another hot evening as they looked to build up match fitness ahead of the new season. Pewsey Vale visited former Premier Division champions Kintbury Rangers, who are now playing in one of the Hellenic League Division 2's, and came from behind to draw 1-1, Gareth Robb with the Pewsey goal.

Cricklade Town were also up against Hellenic League Division 2 opponents when they visited Faringdon Town and took the opportunity to give game time to all of their squad. A failure to take their chances and the impact of multiple changes saw them eventually go down 4-2, but it was a useful work out in the difficult conditions. The Cricklade goals were scored by Alex Baker and Reece Gilliver.

Frome Collegians were the other Premier Division side in action and a brace from Jake Wright and one each for Sam Wright and Lewis Perrett secured a 4-0 win for Frome over Mid-Somerset League Premier Division side Coleford Athletic.

Another side playing higher level opposition were Trowbridge Town who made the short journey to play Step 4 side Bradford Town, a solitary goal from George Box giving the Toolstation Western League side the win but credit to Trowbridge who bounced back from last week’s heavy defeats to give Bradford a close game.

Frome Collegians opened their pre-season campaign with a home game against Somerset County League side Uphill Castle. It was the visitors who edged it by the odd goal in three, Max Pollock with the goal for the Collegians.

Saturday saw the first pre-season friendlies take place involving sides from the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League, with many of the games taking place behind closed doors, as football made a careful re-start in accordance with FA and Government guidelines.

Corsham Town and Trowbridge Town played a couple of games between the club’s sides and it was Corsham Town who had the better of things winning both games comfortably, but at this stage of the season results are not important as players build up fitness. 

There was an in-house friendly on the AGP at Royal Wootton Bassett Town’s Gerard Buxton Ground and the game went to form with the Hellenic League Premier Division first team coming out on top in a useful work-out from both a playing front and Covid-19 organisational perspective.

A young Odd Down Reserves side came out on top in their game with Somerset County League side Chew Magna in a game that was close until the final stages when Odd Down hit five unanswered goals to win 8-3.

Stratton Juniors had a good first work out away at Hellenic League Division Two side Letcombe, edging it by the odd goal in three, Ryan Major and Lewis Taylor with their goals.

Shrewton United also got their pre-season programme off to a winning start with a 3-2 win away at Alderbury, who play in the Southampton Saturday Football League.

Marlborough Town met Swindon & District League Premier Division side Redhouse, who are expected to be challenging for honours this season in one of our feeder leagues, and it was the Swindon side who came out on top, winning 4-1 in a useful run out for both sides.
