U13 Green Division
AFC Corsham 3 Derry Hill 1
 
A first League win of the season for the team and a very well deserved 3 points. Following on from last weeks 8 goal thriller, the team played some great football and went two up through Alexander and James with his first goal for the Club. Corsham were then unable to add to their score though dominating the play. Sloppy defending from a rare Derry Hill break away led to a goal and set up a tense last 10 minutes, but Harvey calmed the nerves with a well taken finish into the top left hand corner of the net. Credit to the Derry Hill keeper who had an excellent match. Corsham face Warminster Highbury at home next week.

AFC Corsham went down to a 5-3 defeat away at Bradford Town in the first game of the Mid Wilts season.
 
The team lined up in a new 4-1-4-1 formation and it worked well up the hill in the first half with Alex A scoring a well taken goal. Unfortunately Bradford came back down the slope and scored two goals after being gifted too much room in the penalty area. A superb corner from Joe T could only helped into the net to make it 2-2 before Bradford grabbed another to lead 3-2 at the break.
 
Corsham changed their shape in the second half, moving to a traditional 442 formation and they dominated play down the hill with Harvey W and Ryan J causing all sorts of problems with tricky wing play. Bradford broke away and scored another goal to go 4-2 ahead and then were awarded a penalty – from which Oscar made a superb save to his right, pushing the ball round the post. From one of Harvey’s crosses Joel despatched the ball into the net with a clever finish to make it 4-3. Pushing forward to claim an equaliser Corsham were caught short at the back and Bradford added another goal to make the final score 5-3.
 
However, an encouraging performance all round.
