Leaders can't be stopped

New Gerard Buxton Sports Ground, Wednesday 9th December 2015

Royal Wootton Bassett Town were unable to build on Saturday's victory against Thame United, falling to a 2-0 home defeat against Kidlington.

This time Royal Wootton Bassett Town were unable to stop one of the Hellenic League Premier Division's leading sides in their tracks as a goal late on in both halves ensured Kidlington reclaimed top spot from Flackwell Heath, whose reign at the top was limited to just 48 hours.

Bassett's performance was a spririted one. Yet up against an extremely well organised side - something Paul Braithwaite was expecting Kidlington to be - they couldn't make a breakthrough.

Instead, Ryan Brooks' right foot shot from just outside the box three minutes before the break, and Lewis Coyle's goal to round off a counter attack with eight minutes remaining in the second period made sure the visitors went home with the spoils.
