With both Westbury and Calne converting their penalties (Westbury scorers:- DJ Wheeler, Gavin Francis, Sam Newton, Flynn Precup and Lewis Jordan) the scores were tied at 5-5 when goalkeeper Tom Lucus became the hero of the Westbury team by saving a Calne penalty.

UNDER 9’S BLUE DIVISION UNDER 9’S GREEN DIVISION UNDER 9’S RED DIVISION In spite of appalling weather conditions both AFC Corsham and Melksham Town Youth contributed to a breathtaking game of football. Although the defences appeared to be in control most of the time, there were still plenty of chances created at both ends throughout the entire game. It was early in the second half when Melksham made a crucial breakthrough. An excellent Corsham attack and missed opportunity led to a quick counterattack from which captain Liam Harris was able to drive home from short range. With opportunities at both ends continuing the next goal was going to be crucial. Corsham were unlucky not to level the scores with a blistering long-range drive that looked goal bound all the way. Somehow the Melksham keeper James Pritchard managed to get enough of his fingertips to the ball to turn the shot onto the crossbar. A magnificent save. In the end Melksham settled the game with a well-worked corner lifted into the penalty area and headed home by striker Sam Rose. Very well done both teams. Melksham goal scorers were Liam Harris (1) and Sam Rose (1).
