Mark Salter (19562/7)

Calne Town 0, Frome Town 1

ANDY Crabtree broke a managerial duck as his Frome Town side narrowly beat Calne Town 1-0 in the Toolstation League Premier Division at Bremhill View on Tuesday night.

Crabtree had never won at Bremhill View as a manager, and only tasted victory there once as a player.

The in-form Mark Salter struck the all-important goal midway through the second half.

After 65 minutes Simeon Allison sped down the left flank and his centre was converted by Salter for his fourth goal in two games.

Crabtree said: "It's not my favourite ground in the world, it's not the happiest of hunting grounds for Frome or myself. It wasn't the best of games but I think we did enough to deserve the win. We ground out a result and considering we didn't have four players and were down to the bare bones, it was a good win for us."

Calne boss Robbie Lardner said: "We didn't really create many chances, if any. If you don't create chances you don't deserve to win games of football.

"It was a tight affair but I think on the run of play they probably deserved to win. It was always going to be a tough game and we competed without ever being a threat."
