Wiltshire Senior Cup
Season 2019-20 - First Round Draw
The draw for the First Round of the Wiltshire Senior Cup was made last night with four of the nine entrants from the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League being given First Round fixtures and the other five sides receiving byes to the Second Round. 

Shrewton United have been given an interesting First Round tie at home to Sydenhams Wessex League side Pewsey Vale for whom a couple of their former players, Craig Lewis and Jesse Walters, are currently playing. Pewsey have not started the season too well and are currently bottom of the Sydenhams Wessex Division 1 (Step 6) and are without a win in their opening five games. In contrast Shrewton have started the season well and an upset could be on the cards in this cup tie. The game is scheduled for Tuesday 8th October at Shrewton with a 7.45PM kick-off.

Another Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League side who have been drawn against higher league opposition are Purton who are currently unbeaten after five league fixtures. They must travel to take on Toolstation Western League side Devizes Town, that game also being scheduled for Tuesday 8th October with a 7.45PM kick-off. Devizes have also not started the season well, losing all three of their opening league fixtures so this is another game where the side from our league will fancy their chances of progressing to the next round if they can perform as they have been doing on the night.

The final First Round tie sees two sides from the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League meet up as Holt play host to Marlborough Town. The Wiltshire FA have announced that game as taking place on Saturday 12th October but with landlords Westbury United home that day in the Western League this will probably be re-scheduled.

Cricklade Town, Ludgershall Sports, Stratton Juniors, Trowbridge Town and Wroughton all received byes to the Second Round.

The full First Round draw is as follows:
Devizes Town v Purton
Holt v Marlborough Town
Shrewton United v Pewsey Vale
