North Wiltshire Division

The big game at the top of the North Wiltshire Veterans’ Division of the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League was the match between league leaders Redhouse, who were playing their final game of the season, and Nationwide who, due to their cup exploits would still have four to play after Tuesday night’s game at New College. It was to prove to be Nationwide’s night as a hat-trick from Paul Stonehouse plus two from Pete Sealey saw Nationwide win 5-0 to move to within four points of the leaders with those four games still to play, two of which are against fellow title challengers Cricklade Town.

Another side playing their final game of the season were AFC Swindon and they would not end their season on a winning note as they fell to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Chiseldon. Goals from Edward Erekosima, Adam O’Keeffe and Ashraf Ali secured the three points for Chiseldon, Andrew Copland with the AFC Swindon goal who finished the season on 14 goals, over half the total goals scored by his club in the league.

The only other game in the Division last week was at Moredon on Wednesday night and it saw Penhill United secure a narrow 2-1 win over Royal Wootton Bassett Town thanks to goals from Jamie Ashby, his 17^th of the season, and Joe Anderson.

Mid Wiltshire Division

There were also just three games actually played in the Mid Wiltshire Division with both Durrington and Devizes Town being gifted three points, with just Melksham Town of the three title challengers being given the opportunity to win their points on the pitch.  

The action got underway on Monday night at Radstock Town, and it saw Trowbridge Town Tigers become the first team in the Mid Wiltshire Division to complete their fixtures. They were to end their season on a winning note as well, goals from Clifford Sakyi and Phil Lewis securing a 2-1 victory, Sammy Dieng with the Radstock Town goal. Trowbridge currently occupy fifth spot in the table and, whilst they could still be overtaken by Westbury United and Calne Town, it has been Tim Brown’s side’s best season since they joined the league in 2019-20.

Melksham Town were away against Bishops Cannings at Green Lane and were comfortable 5-1 winners against Bishops Cannings. There were three more goals for the prolific Gary Higdon, taking his total for the season to 29, with further goals from Tom Robinson and Ryan Tyrell, Craig Hatton-Pocklington  with the solitary reply for Bishops Cannings.

Five goals also for fourth placed Warminster Town in their game away to Amesbury Junior Badgers should see them secure a fourth place finish come the end of the season. Another three goals for James Vincent saw him move onto 14 in what has been a curtailed season for Warminster’s main marksmen, Tom Robson with the other two goals in a 5-0 win. Amesbury Junior Badgers became the second side in the Division to complete their fixtures.

Westbury United conceded their game against Durrington when they were unable to raise a side for their trip to Bulford on Wednesday night. The same story the following night when Chippenham Town were unable to raise a side for their game against Devizes Town. Chippenham also advised Radstock Town that they would not be able to raise a side for Monday night’s game against Radstock Town. The Chippenham club secretary has subsequently withdrawn the side from the league and under FA standard rules, because the 75% threshold has been past, the remaining two games against Melksham Town will be awarded to their scheduled opponents and these have already been reflected in the league table so that the three teams fighting for honours at the top of the table have full transparency of the current positions.

Next Season



Teams are reminded that if they do not intend running next season, they need to notify League Secretary Jim Thorn by tonight to avoid a fine under Rule 11(A).
