PREMIER DIVISION: Potterne FC welcomed Miller Sports to Devizes Town ground at Nursteed road for what was Miller’s home fixture.

After the heavy rain from the previous day and the early morning snowfall of yesterday the game was in doubt but a late inspection passed the ground fit and Potterne took advantage as they claimed a 3-0 success over the bottom club to move them up into second spot.

Potterne were missing a few players from the team that beat Biddestone Social on Sunday, with Adam Heath rested and Matt Minnis on the bench.

The villagers started the game the brighter of the two teams as they were still on a high after Sunday’s victory and it didn’t take long for them to open the scoring, on three minutes Lee Sanders scored his first goal of the season when he back heeled a Ben House corner to make it 1-0.

As the half wore on Potterne started to look like a team that has played three games in eight days and were finding Miller hard to break down and it seemed they had ran out of ideas until Matthew Hale scored Potterne's second on 30 minutes with a good strike from 25 yards out which seemed to skid of the surface and bounce over Nick Evans hand and into the net.

Potterne dominated the final 15 minutes of the half but were unable to find a way through Miller’s stubborn back line who were doing well to keep the division’s highest scorers at bay.

The second half started how the first had finished with Potterne playing keep ball but still unable to break Miller down.

Potterne tried to freshen things up by making a triple substitution, but this never really changed things as Miller’s defence stood firm. Miller's only real shot on the game came in the 65th minute but the 30 yard effort was the only thing that keeper Martin Mitchell had to save. Potterne's third and final goal came in the 75th minute when a cross from Matt Hale found the unmarked Matt Minnis and his smart header looped over the stranded Evans to wrap up what is another important win for Lee Sanders and Pete Huntley’s side as they look upset the big boys in the race for silverware.

For the final 15minutes it was a case of Potterne huffing and puffing but were never going to blow the Miller house down. Miller must be praised with the defensive display and sticking to there task, as for Potterne they will just be glad of getting another game under there belts and another two points on the board ahead of a tough game with Box Rovers this coming Sunday.
