Royal Wootton Bassett Town's youth sides enjoyed a mixed Sunday of action, with the Under 16 Blues and Under 13 Yellows leading the way with impressive victories.

The Under 16 Blues delivered one of the results of the day with a commanding 5-0 victory away at Wroughton & Wichelstowe Silverbacks as they remained unbeaten in North Wilts League Division Two.

A five-goal haul combined with a third clean sheet in six league games so far made it an outstanding performance and an excellent reward for the team's efforts.
