WEST Wilts claimed a 1-1 draw with Bridgend in the Davis Wood League Conference North clash on Saturday.

The visitors were buoyed by the return of Matt Elloway for the trip, but they fell behind 10 minutes into the first half.

Wilts responded when Dave King slipped a ‘no look’, 90 degree pass from the base line to James Baker, who finished into the bottom corner.

Wilts spent the rest of the half pushing on but were unable to take the lead.

The second half was a disappointment, but Wilts had an escape when a penalty flick was awarded against Jonny Hackett in the final play of the game.

But Wilts keeper Finn Walton stood firm to slap away the flick and preserve a point for the Warminster side.
