Frome Collegians Reserves FC 1 Melksham Town Reserves FC 2
COLLEGIANS DEFEAT, HANDS SEEND LEAGUE TITLE
Thanks to the efforts of Frome Collegians Reserves manager Karl Freeman and the willingness of Melksham Town Reserves FC to have a 1pm kick-off on the all weather pitch at Selwood Academy it meant that their Gooding Accounts Ltd sponsored-Trowbridge & District Football League, First Division, beat the elements.
Having missed out on the chance to clinch the First division title prior to Christmas, Seend United’s wait is over, as the first week of 2024 saw them crowned top flight champions.
With Seend in County Cup action they would have had one eye on the only team who could deny them the title, who were Frome Collegians Reserves and were on an 14 match unbeaten run aheaad of their meeting with Melksham Town Development.
With Frome taking a 1-0 interval lead against thier guests courtesy of a Ben Bullus goal, Karl Freeman’s side were keeping their own hopes of snatching the title from Seend very much alive, before they disappeared following a second half revival by the visitors.
Melksham got themselves back on level terms thanks to a Liam Brooks effort and then they snatched all 3 points to finally kill off Collegians hopes of catching Seend at the top of the standings.
A second of the afternoon from Liam Brooks winning it for Melksham.
