Under 18s are Kings of the North

Royal Wootton Bassett Town Under 18s sealed top spot in the Wiltshire Floodlit League North Division with a 1-1 home draw against Shrivenham last night.

In what was a highly entertaining game, which also saw the visitors seal runners-up spot, Bassett's goal came midway through the first half courtesy of Jake Covey.

Paul Gerrish's side, who still have one game to play against Calne Town, have enjoyed a stellar campaign so far, winning five of their seven games, while falling to just one defeat.

They started with a 5-2 victory against Calne, with Ryan Collins leading the way as he bagged a brace. A Jake Covey hat-trick then sealed a comfortable 3-0 away win against Shrivenham.

That was followed by a ten goal thriller against Chippenham Town in which Bassett prevailed 6-4 as both Collins and Covey netted twice alongside Aidan Thompson and an own goal.

Bassett's next assignment was a trip to New College, who at the time were, like their visitors that evening, unbeaten. However, a pair of goals from Dan Murphy and a stunning strike from 'keeper Jack Gregory earned another 3-0 triumph.

Collins (2), Covey (2) and Thompson soon made it five wins on the trot as a five star display handed New College another defeat in the return fixture.

Bassett eventually relinquished their 100% record away at Chippenham, who triumphed by the odd goal in three, Hugo Vivash's strike not being enough for the visitors.

Still, the team found themselves well out in front in the division, and a point against Shrivenham was enough to claim the crown.
