MELKSHAM Town suffered their fourth straight defeat as they were beaten at home by Larkhall Athletic last night.

Dan Kovacs but the hosts ahead but the visitors' Nat Auckland netted twice before Gary Higdon levelled from the penalty spot to make it 2-2 at half-time.

But former Melksham man Auckland completed his hat-trick against his former side in the second period, with Ben Horan netting Larkhall's fourth.

Melksham travel to Odd Down on Thursday evening before their Wiltshire Senior Cup final against Downton next weekend.
