Sunday 22nd January 2017

Freezing conditions put paid to most of the youth section games scheduled for this weekend. However, a couple of sides were in action, including the Under 13 Blues in the Wiltshire FA County Cup quarter finals.

In a tense contest, Bassett pushed unbeaten North Wilts League Division One leaders Swindon Supermarine 'J' all the way. However, it was to be Supermarine who earned a spot in the final four as they prevailed by the odd goal in three. Jack Osbaldeston was on target for Bassett.

While no doubt disappointed to be knocked out, Bassett's players should hold their heads up high after a fantastic run to the last eight of the county competition. And losing by just a single goal against the favourites to lift the cup is nothing to be ashamed of.

It was another victorious day, meanwhile, for the Under 14 Blues. They romped to a 9-2 triumph against Lydiard Millicent Juniors to make it seven wins from as many league games, and pull them level at the top of Division One with a game in hand over fellow polesitters Swindon Supermarine 'R' still to play .

Six scorers were on target for Bassett. SIdney Skippen led the way with a hat-trick, Nathaniel Bell netted a brace while Michael Gilder, Frederick Merrett, Billy Saunders and Daniel Warre all contributed a goal each.
