The first of back-to-back league meetings between Holt FC and Warminster Town Reserves FC saw Holt stretch their own unbeaten run to 8 matches while bring their guests 7 match unbeaten run to an end.

Warminster who had not lost since they were beaten 1-0 away at Freshford United at the end of August saw they fine run ended by a Holt side who suffered an opening day defeat to leaders Semington Magpies.

A 4-2 win for Nigel Tripp’s side will give them a massive boost of confidence going into the reverse fixture next week where Warminster will be gunning for immediate revenge.

George White and Adam Walsh combined on 5 minutes to give Holt the lead, White putting them 1-0 up. Joseph Bakali-Laughton doubled the hosts lead in the 12th minute when he scored from the penalty spot.

Tom Ball halved the arrears for Warminster on 29 minutes, however Holt restored their 2-goal cushion when Max Griffiths provided the assist for Jacob Nsirim to net and give Holt a 3-1 interval lead.

After the break, Matt Goodwill latched on to a Billy Gunning ball in the 66th minute to give Holt a 4-1 advantage.

Warminster pulled a second back courtesy of Sean Snook on 83 minutes, but it was nothing more than a consolation as Holt saw the game out to move up to third in the standings. ย
