Chippenham Town beat Maidenhead United 1–0 at Hardenhuish Park through Harry Parsons's first-half penalty. The striker converted after Freddie Grant was pulled down following a long throw, giving the hosts a lead they defended to the final whistle.
The home team created early opportunities through Sol Wanjau-Smith, Caine Bradbury and Anointed Chukwu. Maidenhead goalkeeper Jordi van Stappershoef made several stops, while new loan signing Rashawn Scott threatened on his debut down the left.
Maidenhead pushed players forward in the closing stages, but Will King cleared Alfie Pendlebury's effort off the line. Van Stappershoef denied another Chippenham opportunity in stoppage time before the hosts completed a second successive home victory and secured a clean sheet.
