YOUTH FOOTBALL: CHIPPENHAM Town youth team staged an amazing comeback to stretch their unbeaten start to the FA County Floodlight Youth League to ten matches at Swindon Supermarine on Thursday night.
Chippenham, who went into the clash on the back of nine straight league wins, found themselves three goals behind after 35 minutes.
Jason Walsh gave the visitors hope 12 minutes before the break when he lashed the ball home following a Neil Grant corner and Daniel Lardner headed home with the aid of an upright to reduce the half-time arrears to one goal.
Chippenham weathered some early pressure in the second period and were on level terms with 20 minutes left on the clock when the prolific Gary Banks cut inside and unleashed a searing drive into the roof of the net.
Supermarine regained the lead on 80 minutes when goalkeeper Liam Bell missed his punch, but Chippenham's new signing Timmy Edgar netted an equaliser four minutes later.
Youth team manager Colin Bush said: "I've never been at a game like it. "It was a fantastic performance. Most youth teams would have folded at three-nil. They had 31 hits on our goal to our ten and it was a superb result."
