Under 15 Blues seal County Cup last eight place

Sunday 14th January 2018

Royal Wootton Bassett Town Under 15 Blues are into the quarter finals of the Wiltshire County Cup after an emphatic 8-0 victory away against Alderbury Warriors.

Bassett dominated the game from start to finish and, with their win, have earned a mouth-watering date in the last eight against North Wilts League Division One title rivals Swindon Supermarine R. That tie is set to take place next weekend.

In league action, the Under 15 Yellows were the only Bassett side to record victory this weekend.

Their win was a vital one too, coming after the Division Three leaders had drawn two games in a row.

A loss away against third place side Stratton Youth would have seen Bassett lose top spot, but a fine performance secured a thrilling triumph by the odd goal in seven.

Both Under 18 teams saw their games end in stalemate. The Blues were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Fairford and Lechlade, while Joe Mitchell's goal ensured the Yellows contests with third place Ashton Keynes ended in the same score.

The Under 13 Blues' thirteenth league game of the season proved to be unlucky. After reeling off a perfect twelve wins from twelve to begin their Division Two campaign, they finally succumbed to defeat, suffering an agonising 4-3 reverse at the hands of second place Malmesbury Youth Warriors.

The Under 14 Blues were another side sitting at the top of the table to fall to defeat. Unbeaten Swindon Supermarine J proved too strong for them as Bassett lost 6-3.

A tight game between the Under 12 Blues and third place FC Chippenham Youth Spartans ended in a 1-0 defeat for Bassett, while the Under 14 Yellows (1-7 against Fairford and Lechlade) and Under 13 Yellows (0-5 against Highworth Town Juniors H) both had difficult afternoons.
