Report Thank goodness that’s all over with. The curtain came down on what has been a torrid 2023-24 season for the Peacocks both on and off the pitch with a boredraw against their Hertfordshire visitors. A week ago this fixture had the potential to be a season-defining potboiler with both sides in the relegation mix…
Report A late Weston goal condemned the Peacocks to a seventh home defeat in a row and with it relegation back to the Southern Premier League. Three points were the only antidote to prevent dropping back to Step 3 football after two years in the National League South but despite plenty of attacking intent, the…
Report A return to the Southern League loomed ever nearer for the Peacocks as they went down to a Torquay side they had comfortably despatched at Plainmoor just a month earlier. The Gulls obviously had a point to prove, building a two goal lead by the break following a stale Town display with maybe the…
Report A red card for Town keeper Dan Lavercombe inside the opening twenty minutes proved pivotal as Slough eased to a convincing win.

Report Goals at either end of the contest condemned the Peacocks to a fifth consecutive defeat and deepen their relegation worries. Frustratingly in between those early and late goals, the hosts competed well and commanded large parts of the second half, but lack of a cutting edge meant City soaked up everything before adding a…
Report The Peacocks suffered yet another demoralising slap in the face during this most tortuous 2023-24 season as they saw a 2-1 lead evaporate in stoppage time to increase their worries at the foot of the table. Things hadn’t gone to plan for the high-flying visitors who had trailed for the 90 minutes, with a…
Report It wasn’t the homecoming the Peacocks wanted after a long weather-enforced exile from Wordsworth Drive as a stoppage time winner saw the points return to Wiltshire. After Ollie Chamberlain had cancelled out Chippenham’s first half opener it appeared as though both sides would be settling for a point apiece but crucially Town were caught…
Report A rainswept evening and totally saturated pitch put paid to any chance of a free-flowing game of football as it finished in a stalemate in atrocious conditions at Wordsworth Drive. Despite both teams doing their best to adapt it was pretty poor fayre for the 489 crowd, the lowest league home gate of the…
