Sutton dominate Devizes

After the heavy rains the match referee Ian Hawkins inspected the pitch at 9.00 am and pronounced it playable.
Unfortunately an un forecast heavy lunchtime shower further softened the pitch but after another lengthy inspection by the officials the decision to play was confirmed.
With Devizes having two more points and sitting four places higher another close game was anticipated

Josh Yakub resumed in goal behind Jack Dicker, Kai Long, captain Jack Keen and Reece John, a midfield of Ben Snell, Sam Roberts Sam Downes and Chris Hind and with Mason Daggar and Josh Keen up front.

Yakub was called into action after 10 minutes, blocking a point blank shot from two metres out.
5 minutes later a Hind goalbound shot was well saved by the Devizes keeper.
Late in the half Sutton exerted continuous pressure, the visiting keeper making another two good saves.
