Action this week in the Under 18s saw just two games played, both in Group B of the Under 18 Cup competition. The game that mattered in terms of the final standings was at Radstock Town where Devizes Town were the visitors. Goals from Tyler Moore and Caleb Hollow saw Devizes secure a 2-0 win which ensures it will be they who progress to the final from Group B where they will meet Group A winners AFC Aldermaston. For Devizes that is now ten games unbeaten in all competitions, eight of which have been won. Details of the date and venue for the final will be announced shortly.

The other game on Thursday night was at Melksham Town where the home side and Pewsey Vale both knew they were unable to progress any further in the competition due to earlier results in the group games. Having lost at Pewsey earlier in the cup competition, Melksham avenged that defeat with a 2-0 win at the Oakfield Stadium to record their first win in the competition, Tom Dowell scoring both Melksham goals. The three points for Melksham made no difference to either side’s final standing in Group B.
