Warminster U13 4 Ludgershall Sp U13 0.

Despite defeat this was an outstanding display by Sports U13s.

Warminster sit proudly at the top and have only lost one match this campaign, regularly bagging double figures. Man of the match Matt Macfarlane was superb, and as Sports dug deep the performances of Callam Hollis, Daniel Britten and Harry Lawton stood out in a battling defensive performance.
