Warminster Town gear up for historic cup final

Excitement is building as Warminster Town prepare to make their first appearance in the Wiltshire FA Senior Cup Final for 17 years. 

The club will be aiming to lift the trophy for the first time in more than a century when they face Devizes Town next Tuesday, 14th April at the home of Chippenham Town.

A place in the final was secured back in February when Tyson Pollard’s decisive first‑half strike earned a 1–0 semi‑final victory over Pewsey Vale.

Now, Rob Nash’s side are set to face Devizes in the county showpiece after they overcame Malmesbury Victoria in the other semi‑final.

“It’s great for the club,” said manager Rob Nash. “We’ve been close a few times in recent years but not been able to get over the line. And it’s great for the players too as cup finals don’t come around that often, especially here!

“We are all looking forward to the final and it would be a great achievement for the boys to pick up a trophy as the majority of the squad are local lads representing their home‑town club.”

Club Chairman James Stone added: “Reaching the Senior Cup Final is a special achievement for everyone connected with the club. We are proud to represent Warminster on the county stage, and we hope the town will come together to support the team in the final.”

Warminster have lifted the trophy three times in their history – most recently back in the 1910–11 season. They have finished runners‑up on five occasions, the last being in 2008–09.

Kick‑off at Hardenhuish Park, Chippenham, is at 7.30pm, and supporters are encouraged to turn out in force and get behind the team in their bid to make local football history.
