MATCH REPORT: Chippenham Town 0-2 Westbury | Wiltshire Premier Shield | Tuesday 9th November
Teejan Sowe reports.
CTFC departed the Wiltshire Premier Shield, as an academy heavy side battled well against a strong Westbury side.

The first chance for Westbury was a header that was cleared of the line by Ollie Smith ending up in a corner for Westbury.
After just under 30 minutes played, Westbury put a dangerous ball into the Chippenham box and Sardo struggled to hold on to it landing to a Westbury player whose shot was blocked of the line by yet again, this time by Jac Poffley.
A few minutes later Chippenham went up the other end with a short corner which was played to the inside edge of the box and a shot from Touray was saved onto the bar by Westbury’s Joel Manning.
