  • Melksham players help Dorset and Wilts lift national trophy at Twickenham Two Melksham Rugby Club players helped Dorset and Wiltshire clinch the Gill Burns Division 3 Trophy in dramatic fashion at Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium recently. Charlotte Wellon and Nicole Crowley played in the Division 3 County Championship Final against Sussex in a thrilling encounter that ended in a dramatic penalty shootout. In a hard-fought and evenly-matched game, Dorset and Wiltshire were leading with a minute to go but Sussex converted a penalty in front of the post to draw the game 15-15. The game went to a nerve-racking kicking competition, with each team taking six kicks from different positions. Dorset & Wilts held their nerve to win 2–0, securing the Gill Burns Division 3 Trophy. “A massive well done to the girls who represented Melksham Rugby Club; they made the badge and town proud,” said Scott Simmons from Melksham Rugby Club. “Credit also has to go to Sophie Gilson and Tia Hunter-Hashka who played their part to get Dorset and Wilts to the final.” Read more on our website.

  • Triple podium for Higgins The weekend of the 28th-29th June saw the fourth round of the National Post Classic Grand Prix 250cc/350cc Championships held at Anglesey with Broughton Gifford’s Darrell Higgins competing on his Dennis Trollope-backed Yamaha TZ 350cc machine. After qualifying, Darrell was fifth fastest but his first race on the Saturday saw two red flags with the second part after only five laps and Darrell crossed the line in third place. Darrell’s two races on the Sunday ran the full distance of nine laps each and he notched up another pair of third places which has saw him move up to fifth place in the 350cc Championship. Darrell said afterwards that these were his best results so far this season and was pleased that his bike kept going as racing bikes of this age can be challenging at times as they are over 40 years old.

  • Former stationery shop up for auction The building of a former independent stationery shop, Edwards, is due to go up for auction. Edwards Stationery, which was based at 7 Bank Street, closed last September due to a rise in costs. Now, ten months later and the building is listed for auction on 10th July at a guide price of £90,000, with the estate and lettings agent Strakers saying the space would be an ‘ideal investment.’ Former owner of Edwards, Kamlesh Patel, had been running the shop for eight years before it closed and said that although the shop survived the Covid lockdowns, rising costs following the war in Ukraine made it no longer viable. The Grade II listed building has been a stationery shop in the town since the 1980s, stocking various supplies including pens, notebooks, envelopes and art materials. Read more on our website.
