Chippenham Town came from behind for the third time in three games as they beat Tiverton Town 4-2 on Tuesday night.

Juts three minutes into the game, the Bluebirds fell behind.

Tiverton striker Liam Head lived up to his name and looped a header into the net after rising unchallenged to meet a free-kick, delivering an early shock to Adie Mings’ side.

Midway through the half, the in-form Lewis Powell beat the wall with a free-kick but saw his effort headed away by a defender on the post before skipper Ross Adams failed to make contact when he swung a leg at Sam Allison’s low cross.

With the half-drawing to a close, Chippenham were handed a way back into the match when Scott Lye went was climbed on in the box.

Referee Adrian Matthews pointed to the spot and striker Powell levelled the scores, sending the keeper the wrong way.

The Bluebirds looked to take the advantage in the second-half and Lye almost gave them the lead but his spectacular volley was tipped over by Tiverton keeper Steven Book.

The visitors then stole ahead for the second time in fortuitous fashion.

Chippenham failed to relieve the pressure on their penalty area, allowing Jamie Hatch to drill a ball across the six-yard box.

The low cross evaded keeper Ian Gill and when Allison stuck out a leg on the line, the ball span into the net off the boot of the unlucky midfielder.

However, Mings’ men provided an instant reaction through substitute Alan Griffin.

After being on for a matter of minutes, the striker sent the ball crashing into the net from Lye’s clipped ball and hauled the score back to 2-2.

Minutes later, the Bluebirds turned the game on it’s head.

Luke Gullick beat his defender to the ball on the left-hand side of the area and lifted a pass over to the arriving Lye, who poked the ball goalwards with the outside of his right boot.

The midfielder’s effort ricocheted into the net off a Tiverton defender as Chippenham took the lead.

The goal deflated the visitors as the Bluebirds pushed for more, their efforts were rewarded in the 85th minute.

Gullick and Lye linked up well to set up Griffin on the edge of the box, who produced a deft touch to send the ball onto the right foot of his strike partner.

Powell hit a low shot that beat Book and clipped the inside of the right-hand post to make it 4-2.

Chippenham are now up to sixth in the Zamaretto Premier League, four points off Nuneaton Town, who occupy the first play-off position.
