The second half saw both teams have chances to score before Marc Taylor netted what proved to be the winner for Bradford on 70 minutes.

AFTER putting together a five-match unbeaten League run at the start of the season, Westbury Town have gone off the boil, an 11-0 loss to Lacock was their third heavy defeat in a row.
Victory for Joe Martin’s Lacock side saw them extend their own unbeaten run to eight matches and maintain their two point lead at the top of the table.

Simon Gray and Mike Wilkins scored two apiece and Stuart Tutty added the single that made up 11 against a Westbury side, who played most of the second half with 10 players after an injury to Aaron Willis left them a man short.
