HIGHWORTH tasted success in their first pre-season friendly as they sunk Marlborough 2-1.

Goals from Toby Clark and Martin Stratford gave the Worthians victory over the Wiltshire League side at the Elms.

Shrivenham defeated Western League Calne as striker Steve Robertson bagged a brace at Barrington Park.

A double from Ash Gooch set Purton on their way to a 5-2 demolition of Wroughton.

Scott Campbell, Aaron Webb and Tom Goody completed the scoring at the Red House.

Cricklade were sunk 3-1 by visitors Reading Town as Toby Nowell, Graham Lewis and Taylor Mitchinson found the net.

Malmesbury’s friendly against Blyskawica, originally scheduled for Saturday, will now take place tonight.

Blyskawica were unable to raise a side at the weekend.

Saturday was Malmesbury’s second friendly false start in a row after their game at Easington on Tuesday was cancelled.

Also on Saturday, two late goals saw Chippenham run out 2-0 winners over lower-league Bristol Manor Farm at Hardenhuish Park.

The opener arrived in the 73rd minute, when trialist and substitute Leon Jeanne fired goalwards and keeper Cameron Tarr could only parry to Ben Wickens, who poked into the top corner.

Minutes from the end, Jeanne put the result beyond doubt when he cut in from the left wing and curled home from outside the area.
