Devizes stay in title race after hard fought win over Bassett

The match at Wootton Bassett was one of the best seen on the Sports Ground this season, for the result, but for a ten-minute lapse on the part of the home team early in the second half, might have easily affected the championship hopes of the Devizes team. It was during this unfortunate period that two goals were registered in Devizes' favour, one by Ball and the other by Bob Brown, who had the misfortune to turn the ball into his own net. Devizes obtained their other two goals in the first half through Ball and Dale.

The local lads scored in the first minute, when Perry accepted a glorious pass from Embling and went on to get a great goal, while the other came about midway through the second half, Gleed being the marksmen.
