From the Swindon Advertiser, first published Tuesday 6th May 2003.

New Century WMC won the Sunday Knock Out Cup for the third time when they defeated AFC Gas 2-1 at Hunts Copse.

Ryan Lovgrove put them ahead in the 29th minute after a disputed free-kick and Matt Saye increased their lead after 50 minutes.

Mark Bennett headed the Gas consolation from a cross by Gary Ashford in the 89th minute.

Man-of-the-match award went to Century's Sean Terry.

A double from Doug Imrie and goals from Enzo Mazzotta and Tate Hulbert gave Juventus a 4-1 win at Tran Staff in midweek in Division 1, Adam Giles bagging the consolation for Tran Staff.

A play-off for the top spot now looms with Greyhound.

In Division 3, leaders Penhill United have completed their programme.

But Haydon Wick's title hopes were dented when they went down 6-3 to Thamesdown Nalgo in midweek.

Wanborough recorded two victories in a week. They went to Mallard on Tuesday and came away with a 4-2 win thanks to a Pete Myles double and one each for Chris Rusling and Pete Stradling, with Dave Turner and Carl Dawson scoring for Mallard.

Wanborough followed that up with a 3-2 win at High St Club for whom Kevin Traill and Gary Wilkins netted.

Phillip O'Farrell and Barry Shedden were on the scoresheet for Nationwide in their side's 2-1 home win over Coleshill in the week.

The solitary fixture in Division 4 saw Highworth Swindon Fencing beat Southbrook Inn 4-2.

Division 7 favourites Duckhams Q hit four at Blueprint without reply with strikes for Stuart Carter, James Bradfield, Ady Phillimore and John Cave-Ayland.

That was Blueprint's last game, having lost 7-2 at MCS in the week.

A Mark Jones goal enabled Deers Leap to beat Intermach 1-0.

It was Intermach's second defeat of the week, having gone down 3-1 at home to Chesters 3-1 earlier.
