Wootton Bassett 1sts kept their unbeaten home record with a 3-3 draw against league leaders West Wilts B.

Bassett got on top from the start, butthey could not find the incisive finishing that has boosted them throughout the season.

The first chance fell to Mark Skivington, hitting the post from a deflected short corner.

A couple of minutes later, with Bassett still on the attack, Grant Kirkup had a drag flick saved by the inform West Wilts goalkeeper.

Eventually the pressure told, and following 10 minutes of sustained attack, Matt Jakubiec picked up a lose ball and slammed into the goal.

Knowing that a one-goal lead was never going to be enough against a side who had scored 95 goals this season, Bassett went straight back into attack mode but could not find the second crucial goal.

A rare breakdown in the attack led to a clinical West Wilts breakaway goal. Two minutes later the away team repeated the feat, this time breaking straight through the middle of the pitch.

Bassett regrouped, rang the substitutions, and retook control of the game.

The running of Dan Stanley on the left wing had been causing problems for the Wilts defence all game, and he and Kirkup set up Kyle Barnes to level the scores at 2-2.

On the stroke of half-time it was Barnes again, rounding the keeper and flicking the ball high into the net.

The second half started with Bassett back on the attack.

Stu Bell, Mark Tolley and Stanley all had chances to send Bassett two goals clear. However, the all-out attack took its toll and Bassett's concentration slipped for a period of five minutes.

Wilts took full advantage, camping out around the Bassett D, and they scored following their only short corner of the game.

The final 15 minutes were a frantic affair as Bassett threw everything at the visitors. First it was Barnes' chance to complete his hat-trick, firing a ball inches over the cross bar.

Bassett had one more chance to secure all three points as a Jakubiec shot was saved off the line and rebounded underneath the keeper.

The resulting short corner led to Kirkup's best chance of the game. His shot appeared to be going into the corner of the goal, but the spin took the ball just wide.

On Saturday, Bassett travel to third-placed Swindon for a 12:30 pushback at Greendown.

With an eight-point cushion over Swindon, a win or draw would be enough to secure Bassett promotion to the Avon division. On Sunday Bassett face a cup game against North Wilts, 1pm at Dorcan School.

Bassett A got back to winning ways with a 5-3 away win against City of Bath D.

Bassett went ahead after 20 minutes through David Beal. Moments later quick passing throughout the team found Robin Cook to score his first goal of the season.

Bassett soon went three up with a goal from Luke Salisbury, and he added a fourth just before half-time.

The second half saw Bath pull a goal back, but Beal got his second and Bassett's fifth. Two more goals for Bath made the final score 5-3.

The win leaves Bassett in fourth place in Wilts & NE Somerset 2 with a game in hand over third-placed West Wilts D. With only three games left to play Bassett still have an outside chance of promotion to Division 1, but need to close a five-point deficit to catch second placed Swindon B.
