16:53:53 - The cup presentation isnt exactly like the scenes of the 2007 championship win...

16:52:58 - Full time: Bath City 1-0 Chippenham Town Bath City win the game and retain the Coronation Cup. Chipp were awful. Both in style of play and discipline

16:42:49 - SUB: Man of the match Connolly off for Caldwell. Douglas off for Taylor

16:39:18 - The ball drops at the feet of Douglas. Saved. If ever there is a player who needs a confidence boost, its Stuart

16:36:41 - SUB: Cornwall on for Badman

16:36:12 - And again.... Jones kicked viciously by some donkey. If this was a competative game, Chipp would be down to 8 men

16:33:53 - Dont think Chipp know the meaning of the word FRIENDLY. One of our players is pulled down by a thug

16:29:06 - SUB: to help calm down the tensions, Hogg comes on for Richard Evans. Perrett also on for Edwards a few minutes earlier

16:25:31 - and their no.8 is sent off. Everytime we play Chipp someone is shown red - even in a so-called Friendly

16:23:47 - Who called this a FRIENDLY? Tempers flaring after handbags in Chippenhams box

16:22:02 - Hilarious scenes at Twerton. Jombarti gets into a great positon, only to be shoved over outside the box by the Chipp keeper. Ref would not have been blamed if he had shown the red card. The keeper gets away with a booking.

16:19:47 - Douglas finds himself clean through on goal, but is blocked by the keeper

16:16:37 - Rollo takes a knock from a dodgy tackle. Should be ok

16:15:15 - Jombarti is having a great game. Winning all his tackles and leaving the Chipp defenders on the floor

16:10:32 - Some great play from Jombarti, resulting in a back heal to Edwards who shoots narrowly wide

16:06:10 - Supurb tackle by Coupe to prevent a Chipp striker going through on goal. Man City will be after him

16:01:49 - jThe second half has kicked off

15:46:32 - Half time: Bath City 1-0 Chippenham Town Half time at a wet and rainy Twerton Park. Some good play from City - especially in the first 30min. More goals for the 2nd half please!

15:43:14 - Douglas appears to be ok now

15:42:23 - Douglas down injured claiming a foul. Call me cynical, but it looked like he ran into the offenders shoulder

15:28:41 - City causing Chipp quiet a few problems. Should be winning by more than 1-0

15:06:17 - Goal: Bath City 1-0 Chippenham Town Nice attempt on goal from Douglas, meeting the path of Richard Evans who heads possibly the easiest goal of his career.

15:02:07 - And were underway. City forcing a very early corner

14:58:50 - This doesnt quiet have the feeling of our heated Southern League encounters

14:54:58 - Todays team: Perrin - Jombarti - Rollo(c) - Coupe - Jones - Connolly - Simpson - Badman - Edwards - Douglas - Richard Evans
SUBS: Perrett - Hogg - Tim Evans - Allward - Northmore - Cornwall - Caldwell - Taylor

14:52:42 - Todays team: Perrin - Jombarti - Rollo(c) - Coupe - Jones - Connolly - Simpson - Badman - Edwards - Douglas

13:09:24 - Todays match may be called THE CORONATION CUP, but even Bath Citys No.1 cup fan, Martin Powell, would admit this is nothing short of a glorified pre-season friendly. However, I am sure reacquainting with old rivals, Chippenham Town, will be a feisty affair and a tough test.
