Royal Wootton Bassett Town Development suffered a 2-0 defeat at home against Pewsey Vale.

Bassett were looking to bounce back from Tuesday night's narrow Wiltshire Senior Cup semi-final defeat at the hands of Wroughton and another good defensive display ensured it remained goalless at the break.

However, two second half goals from Pewsey's leading scorer Josh Fowler gave the visitors a 2-0 win, the first a well taken goal and the second when he capitalised on a poor back pass.

The victory for Pewsey saw them move up to seventh spot in the table just three points off third place and with games in hand over all of the four sides immediately above them in the table.

The defeat for Bassett leaves them still in a real battle to avoid the drop, but they would be grateful to know that the two sides just below them in the table had also lost on Saturday. Yet, Bassett know they will need to pick up points if they are to remain outside the drop zone.
