Wootton Bassett supporters had to wait until the 80th minute to see their side score against Chippenham Town Reserves on Wednesday evening. The first half saw Bassett, playing with a slight slope, produce some good football but despite their efforts no clear-cut chances were created. In fact it was Chippenham who had the best goal scoring chance of the half after some sloppy defensive work – fortunately for Bassett the ball was shot wide.

The second half proved to be just as competitive with Chippenham enjoying the better of the play in the early stages. Only stern defending, particularly from Ian Johns, kept the home side at bay. The visitors gradually gained the upper hand and in the 80th minute were rewarded when Frost scrambled the ball into the net from a corner. The second goal, five minutes later, was a superlative effort and one certainly worthy of clinching a game. It began when a Chippenham attack broke down and York cleared the ball to Frost on the halfway line. Frost took the ball on his chest before hooking the ball over the top of the defence. Charging up the field the Bassett forward ran into the ball and fired it hard and low past the keeper and into the net.
