  Steve G, Chris W, John K, Paul W, Graham N, Pete C. Mark K (c), Dave H. Having started the day in 2nd place in the WCWFL 60s, we had high hopes of maintaining that position, and with a few changes to the squad from match day one, it took a little time to settle. We started off with Highworth. Although we dominated possession and created a number chances Highworth proved difficult to break down. Also with a number of players not having played together before we were a little disjointed. However, two well taken goals from Mark settled us and, in all honesty, John had little to do in goal. Then the crunch game against Swindon. It was a tight game with some pride at steak and although Swindon had most of the possession the team structure meant few chances were created and most of those fell to Swindon, but with Steve at the back and John in goal we were always in the game, albeit on the breakaway. And that is what happened when Dave slipped a pass t...

There's no CTWFC 70s squad photograph, so here's an image of our new flag. We played the last series of games in the GFA 70s league in glorious sunshine, which made a pleasant change. However, what didn't change was our ability to take the chances we created and to convert more opportunities into goals. We drew 0 v 0 with each of Exeter Strollers, Bristol Utd and WSM  (which was a friendly) , and 1 v 1 with Bournemouth. We finished in 4th place in a league of 10, and since both Bournemouth and WSM finished above us, we can at least claim to have got something out of two well-established and organised teams in the league. We only lost two matches from the eighteen we played, which was the lowest number of defeats other than the eventual winners - Keynsham Town A, who lost just one match - to CTWFC earlier in the season. Nevertheless, we were the draw specialists with twelve of our eighteen games ending honours even. Our aim next season must be to turn at least half of thos...

GFA WFL 60s 2024/25 A Happy New Year as Calne's Black and Greens gathered at Oaklands Park for the first matchday of 2025 and fourth matchday of the GloucestershireFA Over 60s Walking Football League. With temperatures around 3˚C and a biting north easterly wind, it was an opportunity to get the benefit of the club's new Omnium sponsored track tops and for both teams to get warmed up and put a few points on the board.  Here's how it went...  Greens Perry K, Charlie N, Chris W, Geoff R. Mark K, Ollie S, Jon H. Calne Greens over 60s team again had a mixed set of results... The first game was an exciting 1 v 1 draw against Calne Blacks in the “El Classico” derby. We took an early lead through a close range effort from Mark and had further chances to extend the lead, hitting the woodwork twice, before Blacks equalised with a fine finish from Graham N after a through ball from Phil C split open our defence.   Next up was a goalless match against Cardiff City, who appear ...

Charlie N, Phil C, Graham N, Steve K. Dave W, Richard G, Perry K. Calne Town WFC 70s played their latest games in the GFA WFL in appalling weather conditions at Almondsbury, with heavy rain and high winds, not to mention the cold, making difficult playing conditions. Thank you Storm  Éowyn. We welcomed Steve K to our ranks in the January transfer window, whilst Perry was able to step up as the one youth player (i.e. Over 65 but under 70) we are allowed. We kicked off versus Merthyr who had beaten us in the first round of games, and with both sides finding the playing conditions far from ideal, a 0 v 0 draw was the eventual outcome, with Charlie making an excellent penalty save following the team collecting four running offences ( We were only trying to keep warm of course!). Next up were Exeter Strollers. The same referee continued to ping players for running, albeit we kept it to three offences this time. Two of these resulted from Perry "scoring" goals which were ...

After a disappointing first series of games which saw us sit in 8th place of 10 at that point, CTWFC Over 70s had a much better set of results in today's fixtures.  First up were WSM, who started the day on top of the league having not lost a game in the first round of matches. We beat them 1 v 0 with a powerful shot from Mel, and played really well in order to hang on to that lead.  We then met Bristol United. In the first half we were all over them but just could not score, whilst Bristol didn't even manage a shot. We even conspired to miss a penalty. In the second half, two mistakes opened the door for them and they took both opportunities and ended up winning 2 v 0. Very disappointing. However, we bounced straight back in game 3 against a Bournemouth team who started the day in 3rd place, and featured three England players in their line up. Another cracking shot from Mel, followed by digging in defensively to hold the lead - aided and abetted by our post and the crossbar, ...

GFA WFL 60s 2024/25 With new signings, transfers and a few squad changes, CTWFC's Greens and Blacks gathered at Almondsbury for the last GFA WFL matchday of 2024, and as the drizzle dissipated... the challenge to earn points began.  Blacks Jeff D, Tony N, Rob S,  Phil C, Paul W. Andy G, Graham N, Mark P.  For the third matchday of the 60s GFA WFL, at Oaklands Park Stadium, the Calne Blacks was a strong one: Rob S in goal, Jeff D and Phil C in defence, debutant Mark P, Andy G and Graham N in midfield, Paul W sharing midfileld and attack and Tony N up front. We started the day with a 3 v 0 awarded win vs old rivals Highworth for their no-show.   In our first match, against mid-table Bristol, we put out an attacking line up, dominated the game and won 2 v 0. Two goals from Tony, the first from an exquisite assist from Paul who opened up their defenders. Next up high-flying Abbeymead and their many Gloucs County players. Even game. But unluckily lost 0 v 1 to one single ...
