South Wilts Youth and Badger League result for Sunday 25th November

South Newton & Wishford FC U8  3 v Ludgershall Sports FC U8  0
Second placed Motorvate sponsored Sports U8 lost out in a thrilling away fixture at South Newton and Wishford. Despite good Ludgershall pressure from winger Charlie Pike and front strike partners Sam Mills and Sam Withers, the home defence could not be breeched. Sports Man of the match Keegan Gale was rock solid in defence, assisted by Rebekah Collins who between them stopped the South Newton attack on several occasions. In the second half South Newton came out a more determined outfit, and despite Sport's best efforts scored two goals in quick succession to seize the initiative. Ludgershall's youngsters never gave up the chase and Josh and Charlie Pike put the home team under pressure, with Sam TT Townley Taylor toiling away in attack, however, home resistance and persistence was rewarded with a third goal and a three - nil victory

Ludgershall Sports FC U10A  0  v  Durrington Rangers FC U10  3
Top of the table Durrington Rangers were the visitor's to Astor Crescent determined to avenge the home draw inflicted by Sports two weeks ago. Sports fielded a depleted team through injuries and illness and took to the field with a basic seven man squad.  Stand in keeper Cullum Bannerman was unlucky to concede an early goal, but his and the efforts of Sean McDonald, Nathan Collins and Adam Hetherington kept the visitors at bay for  the remainder of an evenly matched first half.  Michael Rowley's runs down the flank were not converted by the Ludgershall strikers and a Nil -One score line at half time was a fair reflection of play.Sport’s set plays on corners were excellent and troubled the visitor‘s defence on every attack. Manager Mick Walsh must be pleased with the progress and  discipline of his team, and their attacking qualities and display definitely deserved a goal. However, Durrington were able to capitalise as gaps opened and they added a further two second half goals to run out winners three - nil

Ludgershall Sports FC U10B   3  v    Amesbury Bears U10   9
Sports U10B would like to thank Castledown Leisure for their kind contribution to the football youth section as they entertained Amesbury Bears. This was Ludgershall's best performance of the season with an all round team performance that saw them score three goals for the first time in this campaign. Arthur Robinson pounced on a long kick out from in form keeper Curtis Topham to grab his second of the season. Wayne Ashton was superb throughout and was justly rewarded with a goal, and Sean Board's persistence was duly acknowledged with Sports third. Despite the defensive qualities of Lewis Jeremy and George Robinson Bears scored four first half goals to lead two - four at the interval. However, Sports were still in the hunt and never gave up hope contesting every ball . The home teams disciplined first half shape began to disappear and Amesbury grabbed the inititive scoring five second half goals to win a keenly contested encounter.
