Walcot won last night's Wiltshire County League Ghia Junior cup final 2-1 after extra time against Wootton Bassett Town Reserves at Chippenham.

It complete a double for Walcot of cup and league.

Wootton Bassett gave them a hard game and had much the better of the first half play with Mick Karn, Barry Speirs, and Frank Serratore all going close.

Rob Langham, who was later named as man of the match, was safe in Walcot's goal and one of his saves to deny Greg Smith in the 32nd minute was outstanding.

Walcot's first shot at goal did not come until the 35th minute with Norman Clark just wide but, after Langham had saved a Karn header, Walcot broke away to take the lead with a 42nd minute header by Stuart Morse.

Even then Bassett almost equalised two minutes later when Speirs headed Paul Harper's free kick against Walcot's crossbar.

Twine was again in action to save from Morse in the 65th minute but the ball went straight to the other end for Chappell to equalise with a header from a 66th minute free kick.

Another save by Langham from Speirs and a miss from only two yards out by Gary Hogg for Walcot brought full time with the scores still level.

Extra time saw Speirs shoot wide from eight yards range before, in the 106th minute Jo McIllherren put Walcot in front with a ten yard shot that gave Twine no chance.
