WITH their game at home to Bradford United Reserves lost to the weather, Division Two leaders Holt saw their stay at the top ended by Westbury Town, who took over at the summit after they defeated in-form neighbours Heytesbury, whose 4-0 home defeat was their first loss in 11 outings.

In what was a tight first half, Phil Hampson gave Westbury the lead on 14 minutes when he thumped in a sublime strike from 20 yards after cutting in from the left hand side to drive home a right-footed effort for 1-0.

Heytesbury had chances to level the best coming on 30 minutes when Westbury somehow hack the ball off the line to preserve their slender lead.

Westbury won the game in the space of six crazy second-half minutes when they hit a purple patch in front of goal. A second from Hampson on 51 minutes doubled their lead before substitute Adam Bewley made it 3-0 in the 54th minute and two minutes later Hampson wrapped up things with his third of the afternoon and Westbury’s fourth.

With Calne Eagles and opponents United FC currently in the bottom half of the table, their meeting at Beversbrook was a massive game for both teams and it was the former who boosted their chances of avoiding the drop thanks to a scrappy 2-1 win to claim a third win in four games.

In the first half, Calne looked by far the most potent side going forward. In response, United played a lot of neat passing football but failed to trouble the home side’s defence.

Calne took the lead after 25 minutes when a quickly taken free kick by Russell Driver right on the edge of the box set up striker Jake Goodwin who fired home an unstoppable shot.

This came goal shortly after United’s keeper Lukasz Bareja made a superb reaction save to deny Calne midfielder Jordan Winter from opening the scoring.

Also during the first half, both Jake Goodwin and Josh Eades missed further chances to extend Calne’s lead.

However, they did double their lead right at the start of the second half through a superb solo effort from Josh Eades, who beat two defenders before finishing into the bottom corner.

After going 2-0 down United showed real character to come back into the game and started to dominate the play.

They scored a deserved goal with 20 minutes left when playmaker Jakub Koman fired home from the edge of the box.

This goal really put United on the front foot and it appeared only matter of time before they would equalise.

Both Daniel Zbudniewez and Francois Allen were denied by great saves from Andy Windsor. Allen also went mightily close again to an equaliser.

The pacy striker beat two Calne defenders before superbly chipping his shot over advancing goalkeeper Windsor, but somehow full-back Matt Bowery made up the ground and athletically cleared the ball off the line.

In the closing stages Calne did regain some composure in possession and came back into the game again. In fact they could have regained their two-goal lead when Jake Goodwin went clean through on goal, but the striker fired his shot wide.

However, in the final minute it took both the post and another good save from Calne keeper Windsor to ensure that the tree points went to Calne.

It was with surprise that White Horse FC were able to get a match played at Leighton Sports Centre, but that was where the surprises ended as the result went to form with opponents Trowbridge Wanderers Reserves suffering a 6-1 loss.

Stuart Barber who picked up where he left off from last weekend, by drilling in from 20 yards on 10 minutes to give White Horse the lead. Steve Munday doubled their advantage midway through the half.

Jordan Gullis added number three early in the second half when he got on the end of what was an excellent team move.

A second for Munday made it 4-0. Matt Perry hit a 25-yard left footed beauty to give Wanderers their consolation before two late goals from Barber saw him complete his second successive hat-trick and seal in the end what was a comfortable with for the White Horse men.

Worton & Cheverell started the day in the relegation zone, but thanks to a 3-0 victory at home to Trowbridge Rangers the villagers out of the bottom two.

Goals from Jack Pearce and Martin Dickinson gave Worton a 2-0 interval lead and the points were wrapped up thanks to a first goal for the club from Charlie Bowyer.
