Under 12'S Red Division Under 13's Blue Division Amesbury Town all but sealed the league title with a tremendous team performance winning away at Melksham Town in a nail biting encounter. The home side are the only team that can catch Amesbury but this win now leaves Amesbury needing only one point from their remaining two fixtures to be crowned champions. The first half, though goalless, produced some tremendously passionate though controlled football from both sides. Amesbury looked calm at the back with the entire back four playing with superb confidence against a physically strong Melksham forward line. A sustained period of pressure from Amesbury resulted in a Tyler Brockway free kick from 25 yards forcing the home goalkeeper to produce a good save to turn the ball away for a corner. Then Finn Drury was unlucky to see his hooked volley from the resultant kick go just over the bar. Amesbury midfield were battling hard and fighting for everything with Conor Harrington and Joey Barnwell epitomising the spirit of Amesbury team in wanting to dominate and dictate the play. Drury and Harry Beckley were linking well up front and causing the home defence numerous problems with their astute play and awareness. This game was indeed a battle that Amesbury seemed determined to win and they edged the first period in terms of quality and hunger. Seven minutes into the second half and Amesbury took the lead with the goal that was to prove the winner. Conor West, who was having a fine game, played the ball across to Drury and the tall Blues striker switched the ball to his left foot and held off his marker before curling in a superb strike from 25 yards. Nathan Nightingale then swung in a cross from the right and Harrington threw himself forward and his diving header forced the Melksham keeper to go down low to his left to turn the ball around the post. Nightingale then almost doubled the lead midway through the half when he cut in from the right but elected to try his luck with his left foot and the ball went harmlessly wide. Amesbury were now looking the more likely side to score again and Beckley was unlucky when he saw his shot cannon off the cross bar and bounce back into play. Brockway and Adam Flint seemed to have the measure of the Melksham forwards and limited their efforts against keeper Tom Hollinworth to a absolute minimum. Both full backs West and Rory Johnstone held the line well and pushed forward in support of others at every opportunity and wingers Nightingale and Jake Chambers were constantly causing the home defence problems with their direct running and good crosses. What a great game we witnessed. None of these 8-2, 9-0 or 10-0 matches but an old fashioned 1-0 hard fought game between two well matched teams. All in all then a great team performance by everyone and when the two teams meet again in the League Cup Final in two weeks time everyone can be assured of another close encounter between, undoubtedly, the two best teams in the division.
