DIVISION TWO
THE LODGE FC 2 DILTON MARSH WANDERERS FC 3
ROWLAND HAT-TRICK WINS IT FOR WANDERERS
A Dale Rowland hat-trick for Dilton Marsh Wanderers put a massive dent in the promotion hopes of The Lodge in The Gooding Accounts Ltd sponsored Division Two as the away team ran out 3 – 2 winners.
Rowland struck early on for Dilton before Ian Kennedy levelled for The Lodge after ten minutes.
Rowland put Dilton ahead again with a brilliant lob before scoring his third before the break to complete his hat-trick.
The Lodge pulled on back from the spot through Taylor Kitley to make it a nervous finish for The Wanderers who had keeper Kieran Turner to thank for making an excellent save in the final minute to deny The Lodge a valuable point.
Next weekend Dilton Marsh Wanderers travel to face The Stiffs while The Lodge will be hoping to get their fading promotion hopes back on track when they host Heytesbury Reserves.
THE STIFFS FC 1 TROWBRIDGE TOWN DEVELOPMENT FC 2
DAGGER DOUBLE WOUNDS THE STIFFS
A Tyler Dagger first half brace proved enough to give Trowbridge Town Development a 2 – 1 win over The Stiffs and lift them back up to fourth place in The Gooding Accounts Ltd sponsored Division Two table.
Charlie Mowat was on the scoresheet for The Stiffs, also in the first half in a closely fought match.
Next weekend Trowbridge Town Development will be hoping for their eleventh win of a very good season when host FC Devizes United.
The Stiffs host Dilton Marsh Wanderers who are on a high after a very good win this weekend against The Lodge.
