Wootton Bassetts recovery from the poor start in the Federated Homes League continued last weekend with a 3-0 away win over The Herd. It raised their current unbeaten run to six games, four wins and two draws. The Herd defended well and kept the first half goalless. But it all came good in the second half for Wootton Bassett starting with Damien York being put through by Ian Johns to score their opening goal. York then added a second goal before Bassett had to face a Herd penalty, but Mark Ayres saved it brilliantly. From the clearance Wootton Bassett went straight to the other end for York to put them three up and also complete his hat-trick. Injuries then hit them with Steve Ackrill and Tony Davis both having to retire leaving Bassett to play out the closing stages of the game with only ten men.
