Bluebirds perched at the top of table

CHIPPENHAM Town stormed to the top of the Premier Division following an impressive 4-1 win over Dunstable.

After banishing their Hardenhuish Park blues last weekend, Steve White's men made it back-to-back home victories and climbed to the summit after overnight leaders Merthyr had their game with Cirencester postponed.

Lee Davidson who opened his Chippenham account in the previous victory over Hemel Hempstead got the ball rolling again by heading home Ian Herring's ever-troublesome long throw.

The Bluebirds doubled their tally on 26 minutes when Sam Allison teed up strike partner Dave Gilroy.

He spooned an attempted shot in the air but Allison was on hand to nod into an unguarded net.

Tommy Hayes pulled one back before the break following a quickly-taken free-kick but Chippenham killed the game with a two-goal burst early in the second period.

Allison drew keeper Paul Taylor and squared a pass to midfielder Ben Kirk who netted his first for the club.

Allison was again the provider for Town's fourth, committing Taylor once more before combining with Scott Walker to give Gilroy a tap in.

Gilroy later hit a post and was twice thwarted by Taylor as the home side threatened to surpass the 6-0 hammering they gave Dunstable in the reverse fixture in August.
