BILTON   3   NORTHERN WANDERERS B  2

Bilton who had won their opening two games took on Northern Wanderers B at Bilton Playing Field in this re-arranged game. Bilton created some early chances after the visitors started slowly but it was Northern who opened the scoring when Liam Hathway scored with a delightful chip over the keeper from a tight angle but the home side were level by half time. Early in the  second half Bilton went in front for the first time and they doubled their advantage after Northern were reduced to ten men . The visitors kept going and when Stephen Sharp made it 3-2 they were back in the game and came close to equalising late on. Special mention goes to Matty Turner the Northern keeper who made a series of fine saves. Darren Thompson 2 and Ash Newall with the  Bilton goals.

BILTON  2  GILBERDYKE PHOENIX  7

Bilton entertained promotion contenders Gilberdyke Phoenix but found the visitors too strong. Phoenix started well but missed some early chances before Will Butterill headed home. Liam Bell made it 2-0 after a good move down the left hand side  before a defensive mix up allowed Bilton to halve the deficit. Three more goals for Phoenix before half time from Dave McMahon, Andy Whitaker and as second from Bell made it 5-1 before Bilton got a second just before the break. Phoenix continued to dominate proceedings but only added two more from Bell who completed a fine hat trick and a Matty Smith header to make the final score 7-2.
