In a fairly even contest Frome took the spoils with a well taken goal in each half.

Frome attacked the Waders’ goal from the start and forced three corners in the opening minutes but were handled well by the visitors’ defence.

Frome took the lead on 26 minutes when, after good skills by Davis on edge of area, Darren Jefferies ran onto a through ball and scored with a delightful drive into corner of the net.

Chitty pulled off a great save in the 33rd minute as a visiting attacker only had the keeper to beat.

The second half saw the Waders come at the hosts, forcing a good defensive display from Frome’s back four, The game was a midfield battle until the 75th minute when Perry, for the visitors, had only Chitty to beat but shot wide.

Biggleswade almost equalised in the 88th minute as a flying header hit the bar and went over for a goal kick.

Frome sealed the game in the 90th minute when Davis scored a delightful goal from just inside the area, hitting the ball with the outside of his boot and sending it sailing past Brown in the visitors’ net.

Crowd: 215. Star Man: Gregan (Frome Town). Entertainment Value: 3/5.

  • Wild About Frome: Time to get seedy!

Hello, it’s Kerry here from the Frome Seed Library. 
Your free, permanent seed swap located inside our fantastic town library. We’ve now reached one of the most exciting times of the year for us seedy folk...seed harvesting time! 
But why bother saving seed when you could just grab a cheap packet of seeds from the supermarket next spring? 
Well, you see each and every seed, from the mighty 25kg coco de mer to the fine dust of the foxglove, is a perfectly evolved vessel of genetics, which given the right conditions will germinate and (hopefully) flourish. 
Whilst there is nothing wrong with buying your seeds, the vast majority of the seeds sold in the UK (around 80%) are overwhelmingly imported from overseas, where seeds have been grown in carefully controlled environments. This means your seed has no genetic memory of that soggy summer of 2024, your claggy clay soil, or the recent drought, whereas your plants at home will and for those that have continued to thrive despite everything, well that degree of hyper-local resilience and adaptability is something no seed company can replicate. 
As politicians warn of future food shortages, it is crucial to recognise the role of seed in increasing our local food resilience; they are our insurance policy but the type of seed and provenance is key.
