UNDER 9’S LEAGUE CUP
AFC Corsham Jaguars gave a great team performance and dominated the whole game at home to Trowbridge Town Youth ‘B’. Corsham had a penalty in the first half, which Patrick Grieshaber blasted over the cross bar, but two first half goals for John Harding put Corsham firmly in the driving seat. Harding completed his hat trick in the second half and with no reply the home side comfortably booked their place in the next round. Harry Clarke dominated the midfield for Corsham, while Lewis Mccaron and Thomas Chandler both played very well. Toby Clarke was again fantastic at the back for Corsham with John Harding named as man-of-the-match.

Trowbridge Town Youth ‘A’ eventually ran out comfortable winners against a well organised and determined Bromham side who, despite the score line of 12-0, kept going until the end. Trowbridge pressed from the start but where kept at bay by some excellent goalkeeping by the Bromham keeper, in fact Bromham were unlucky not to take an early lead when they broke quickly from a corner and were denied a goal-scoring opportunity by a last ditch tackle which resulted in a corner. From that point on it was Trowbridge who took control of the game scoring five goals by half time. The Trowbridge goal scorers where Thomas Green (3), Conner McKay (3), Matthew Morris (3) and one each for Liam Naylor, George Lawford and Bradley Neate.

Trowbridge Wanderers ‘A’ deserved their victory over a lacklustre Trowbridge Town Youth ‘C’ side who struggled to match Wanderers throughout the game for effort and commitment. The game was effectively over by half time with the score-line at 5-0. Town looked slightly better in the second half but there is no denying the better team won on the day with a 7-0 final score.

Worton & Cheverell took a 3-0 lead early in the first half away to Larkhall Athletic Eagles only to see the margin reduced to 3-2 at the break. First half scorers for Worton were Harry Waylen (2) and Ben Marshall.

White Horse Juniors Dynamo’s held their nerve in a very close game against home side Bradford Town Youth White’s to run out 3-2 winners.

The tie between home side Melksham Town Youth Robins and Melksham Park ‘A’ produced an exciting local derby cup match that lived up to expectations. From the kick off both teams attempted to play an attacking passing game. The Park’s goalkeeper was forced to handle outside his area to thwart one Robins attack and from the resulting free kick the Robins struck the cross bar so hard the goal was almost uprooted. It was Park though that took the lead, punishing the Robins for a lack of concentration and scoring from a clever lofted shot that deceived the keeper. Good keeping from both sides prevented a flood of goals. However, there was little the Robins keeper could do about the second. The goal came from a tame shot that should have been dealt with easily but a defensive mix up saw a hasty clearance ricochet off another Robins and Park player before finding it’s way to the back of the net. The Robins response was superb, eventually pulling a goal back with Sam Rose sending a thunderous drive from the edge of the area into the back of the net.

Westbury Youth U13’s got their League Cup campaign off to an excellent start with a 9-1 win over Derry Hill. Westbury, playing the type of passing and moving football that they are capable of, moved into a 5-0 half time lead with goals from Flynn Precup, Corey Aitkin, DJ Wheeler, Anthony Holton and Lewis Jordan, the pick of the first half goals came from Lewis Jordan when after a period of sustained pressure, Westbury forced a corner, Flynn Precup drove the corner toward the penalty spot and Lewis Jordan rose like a gazelle to head the ball rocketing into the top right corner of the goal. Westbury came out for the second half full of intent but under-estimated the spirit of the Derry Hill team who refused to give up. Following a well worked free kick to the back post a cut back from the Derry Hill winger resulted in a simple tap in for Derry Hill to reduce the arrears. The goal from Derry Hill prompted Westbury to raise their game and following some excellent movement down the wings, Lewis Jordan scored his second of the game with a powerful half volley from the edge of the penalty area. Two well taken goals from Anthony Holton completed his hat trick whilst Gavin Francis capped an excellent defensive performance with a well taken header from a corner. DJ Wheeler was awarded the Man of the Match trophy for an excellent all round performance in midfield where his superb range of passing and work rate helped Westbury give such a polished performance. Special mention must be given to the Derry Hill team who refused to let their heads drop and contributed to an excellent game of football played in the spirit that all youth football should be played in. In particular, praise should be heaped on their goalkeeper who made several saves that would not be out of place in the Premiership. At the end of the game, the referee, who played his part in allowing the game to flow, complemented both teams on their sportsmanship.
