SUPERMARINE and Mangotsfield United played out a tedious 0-0 draw at Hunts Copse this afternoon as both defences came out on top.

The best chance of the game fell to Marine winger Alex Rigley after 70 minutes, but the former Town trainee sliced his shot horribly wide from an acute angle.

Earlier Tom King pulled off a flying save from Alan Griffin's header in a rare Mangotsfield attack.

The draw leaves Supermarine sitting comfortably in mid-table, while Mangotsfield hover just one point above the Premier Division drop zone.

Kye Holly's double penalty miss proved costly as Chippenham Town's title hopes took a major blow at rivals Tiverton.

Simon Bochenski's strike early in the second half put Tiverton ahead, before Holly was presented with the perfect opportunity to equalise when Dave Pratt was fouled in the box.

The Chippenham playmaker saw his first spot kick saved by Ray Johnston, but the Tiverton goalkeeper was penalised for coming off his line.

But Johnston had the last laugh, guessing right a second time as Holly missed a penalty for the third time in four attempts.

Cirencester Town plummeted to second bottom after recording a fourth successive defeat.

Nathan Haisley's second half strike proved little more than a consolation as Ciren went down 2-1 at play-off chasing Brackley Town.

The loss leaves the Centurions five points from safety with just two games in hand.
