FA National Walking Football Cup

Let's get straight to the point... we lost in the final to Swindon 0 v 3.
That was after beating Salisbury 2 v 1 in the semi-final with goals from Mark and Jon.
Only 4 teams entered in the Wiltshire FA Rounds, which meant entry to semi-finals was automatic but to see who was pitched against who, we played against each team in a round robin, losing to Swindon 2 v 3, with Perry scoring both goals, Salisbury 1 v 2 (Perry again) and drew 1 v 1 against Melksham with a goal from Mark.
In addition to the scorers, Rob made his comeback between the sticks following a long layoff with a sore finger, there was a guest appearance from Devizes' Geoff who usually scores against us, and Tony made his long awaited first appearance for The Neroverdi.
A good effort overall considering we had not played as a team before and had zero subs on the day. By contrast Swindon had a squad of 9 regulars!
Good luck to Swindon who now make the long trip to Newton Abbot to represent Wiltshire in the Regional finals in September.
But, we go again... next year.
