Fixture chaos continues?

3:36pm Friday 2nd March 2007 in Football By Gazette Sport Reporter

THE Wiltshire League programme looks set to be disrupted once again this weekend with most pitches deemed water-logged.

Westside boss Joe O'Rourke is not too hopeful that their game at Trowbridge will get the nod, saying: "The situation is getting a bit serious. I have never known it so bad. April could be chaos with postponed Sunday League games being played in midweek as well as our fixtures.

"We have only played 17 games and there are three clubs that have played a game less.

"We have added two new players to the squad should we get a game. Carl Taylor has joined us from Aldbourne and Ben Kimber from Barron Heating."

Wroughton boss Mark Love will be looking for more of the same from his troops after their 5-0 away win at Bromham last week.

"We've got a full squad available and will be looking for another three points," said the Wroughton boss.

New College are at home to Pewsey Vale and will be looking to keep in contention at the top of the table.

Devizes Town leapfrogged both Corsham and New College to go top of the table after being awarded the three points for the abandoned game with Blueprint Chiseldon earlier in the season.

The same decision was reached in favour of Bromham Reserves in Division Two after their game against Stratton Juniors was also abandoned.

The new Premier Division leaders are at home to bottom club Purton Reserves and it will be a big upset if the Red House side manage to come away with the points.

Blueprint Chiseldon entertain Melksham Town and their boss Chokri Kartit will be keen to get his side back on the winning path.

Marlborough Town visit deposed leaders Corsham Town and would look to face a stiff task and Malmesbury Vics visit Bradford Town.

In Division One, new Stratton Rovers boss Mike Hartley takes on Biddestone in his first game in charge and it will provide a stern test for the home outfit.

League leaders Pinehurst OB are without a game giving the chasing pack a chance to narrow the gap at the top. Minety are at home to Abbey Rodbourne and AFC Stratton visit Castle Combe.

Division Two leaders Lower Stratton visit Westside Reserves with second in the table Wroughton Reserves at home to FC Chippenham.

Stratton Rovers Reserves will be looking to keep tabs on the leaders by taking maximum points against visitors Westlecot United Reserves and Stratton Juniors entertain CHQ United.
