There was a hat-trick of cup wins for Royal Wootton Bassett Town's youth teams this weekend, with three of six sides involved in knockout action progressing to the next round.

The Under 18 Blues were the biggest winners, thrashing Derry Hill United Pyros 13-0 in the Wiltshire Youth Cup first round. Charlie McCuish led the way with four goals while Tom Phillips also registered a hat-trick. Further goals came from Bailey Gallagher (2), Harvey Coster, Dan Hopper, Joe Price and an own goal.

They will now face New College in the second round in a fortnight, with a North Wilts League Cup quarter final tie against Malmesbury Victoria Youth Development next Sunday.

Also triumphant in the County Cup were the Under 15 Blues, who saw off Lydiard Youth Blue 4-0 to book a third-round place. Lewis Dodson, Marcel Lewis, Kevin Prouse and Rory Ryan got the goals to take Bassett through.

In North Wilts League Cup action, the Under 16 Blues moved a step closer to retaining their cup crown, sealing a semi-final spot with a 5-2 win away against Shrivenham. Daniel Warre was the star of the show, netting all five for Bassett.

Unfortunately, they won't be joined in the last four by Bassett's Yellow team though, as they suffered an agonising 2-1 defeat after extra time against Wanborough Juniors Black. Josh Carey was on target for Bassett.

The Under 18 Yellows were beaten 7-0 by Division Two high-flyers Highworth Town Juniors H in their quarter-final tie. Meanwhile, the Under 14 Blues fell to a 9-0 loss away against Bishops Cannings Fireblades in the County Cup second round.

It wasn't all cup action this weekend.

The Under 14 Yellows moved up in the North Wilts League Division Two table with a comfortable 3-0 triumph at home against basement-dwelling Bradford Town Youth Vipers.

They were the only team to record points though.

The Under 12 Blues put up a great fight away against Swindon Supermarine Giants, who went into the game undefeated in the league. Bassett took the lead in the game courtesy of a Finlay Hyde goal. But, though Edward Greenouff would also find the net, Bassett would end up losing by the odd goal in five.

There was defeat for the Under 15 Yellows in their top of the table clash at home against Fairford and Lechlade Revenants, who were 5-0 winners. They are now level on points with Bassett at the top of Division Three with three games in hand still to play.

Elsewhere, the Under 12 Yellows were beaten 4-0 by FC Calne Cosmos, the Under 13 Blues were defeated by the same score by Fairford and Lechlade Celts and the Under 13 Whites fell to a 6-1 loss against Croft Junior Red.
