Saturday 9 October

Wiltshire Senior Cup First Round

4 3 Westbury United v Wootton Bassett Town

A report on this one from yesterday:

 

Westbury United 4-3 Wootton Bassett Town

Wiltshire Senior Cup 1st Round

 

Admission: £4.50

Programme: £1

Tea: 50p (proper cup)

Attendance: ~60

 

Easy enough to find the ground, though a potential word of warning for anyone going - there is due to be a closure of the B3098 for the next few weeks near Erlestoke.

 

Liked the ground. Two stands, one seated on the half way line set back a bit, but thankfully the non-identical dugouts are quite far apart. The other is in one corner which has a random arrangement of tables, chairs and benches. Several more bench seats around all sides, including two single plastic seats screwed on to two tree stumps beside one goal.

 

The clubhouse is in a long building with a corrugated iron exterior, which houses a bowling lane (covered up today) which features a manual tube for getting the balls back. Most things around the place painted in green. Although there is a turnstile, this was closed and all entry was via a hut at the entrance to the ground. Plenty of space to park inside.

 

The game itself took a while to get going, and came very close to extra time. The hosts took five minutes to open the scoring, and had the balance of play before the break. No further score in the half, but was quickly 2-0 after the restart - best goal of the game, a 25 yard volley as many were still walking back from tea or beer. They then had a player sent off for a second booking (one for something he said, the second for retaliation). Still it was soon 3-0 from the spot. Ended up an exciting finish as the visitors pulled it back to 3-2, it was 4-2 on the break and 4-3 in injury time. Several good tackles and saves and a post rattled. The Westbury #10 has just arrived on loan and scored 5 in two games. He looked very good for this level.
