Royal Wootton Bassett Town U14s faced Durrington Seahawks - a team they are fighting with at the top of North Wilts League Division One - and were looking to avenge their defeat in the away fixture.

And Bassett did just that, securing a vitally important 3-1 win that puts the Blues in a strong position to claim a top two placing come the end of the season.

Bassett made a great start, attacking well down the wings. The girls came close to scoring when Mia Hughes got onto the end of a corner and headed the ball onto the crossbar.

Durrington came close to taking the lead after a scramble in the box, but Izzy Ellis was on hand to clear the ball off the line.

Mia had another opportunity to put the ball away but saw her shot clash against the post.

However, the girls were rewarded with a goal not long into the half. Alisa Allan delivered a great ball across goal to find Ava Hall back post, who finished, giving the Blues the lead.

The second half continued in a similar fashion, with Bassett dominating. The home side managed to score two more goals in quick succession.

The first came from some great play down the left between Elise Dart and Ava, resulting in a goal for Mia. The second came through Sienna Matthews, who set up Mia for her brace.

Unfortunately, the girls didn't manage to keep a clean sheet as Durrington pegged one back. However, the Blues held on until the final whistle to secure a 3-1 victory.

Player of the match went jointly to Poppy Norton-Barrett and Ava for strong performances.
