 Kintbury Rangers Extend Lead At Top
In Only Game to Survive Storm Darragh

Kintbury Rangers who moved eight points clear at the top of the table with a 3-0 win at RWBT Dev

Premier Division


Storm Darragh resulted in all but one of the games involving teams from the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League in either league, or cup fixtures being postponed this Saturday. With an amber weather warning impacting some of the county, the league allowed clubs to postpone their games where there were concerns over safety in terms of travelling to the games. Several games were also called off due to waterlogged pitches. The postponed games included all four fixtures in the Wiltshire Junior Cup which will have a knock-on impact to fixtures in Division One next week, although Cricklade Town’s re-scheduled game has been put to the 21st by the Wiltshire FA.


The one game played this weekend was in the Premier Division and it involved league leaders Kintbury Rangers who were prepared to travel to the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground for their fixture against Royal Wootton Bassett Town Development despite the offer to postpone, with the wind less strong in the North of the County and across the border in Berkshire. That said it was still extremely difficult conditions in a game switched to the 3G pitch at the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground. Kintbury got off to a great start as two goals early on in the space of a couple of minutes from George Armstrong put them in a commanding position. That was to be the end of the scoring in the first half and whilst the home side created chances of their own, they lacked that cutting edge and experience in front of goal, something the visitors certainly had with Armstrong back leading the line for the title favourites. Kintbury made sure of all three points with a third goal after the break, Jesse Bowers being on hand to turn the ball in after Royal Wootton Bassett Town Development keeper Adam House had pulled off a great save, but the ball fell nicely for Bowers who fired home for 3-0 and his fourth goal of the campaign. The win saw Kintbury move eight points clear at the top of the table as they reached the halfway point of the season with their league fixtures, although second placed Letcombe now have a game in hand.

Division One, Fountain Trophies Cup Wiltshire Junior Cup


As noted above all games in Division One, the one game in the Fountain Trophies Cup and the Wiltshire Junior Cup were all postponed due to the weather conditions. The game between Shrivenham Dev and Purton was the closest game to getting played but in the end fell victim to a waterlogged pitch at midday, despite the efforts of the Shrivenham club to get the game on.  Again, as noted above, next week's fixtures in the Division will be impacted by postponements in the Wiltshire Junior Cup and the fixtures shown below have been adjusted for rearranged games postponed on 7th December.
