Another Trip To The Top In The Hants League

Image
CHAMPIONS: Back: Phil C, Charlie N, Graham N, Perry K. Front: Alan B, Jon H, Ollie S. The 120 mile round trip to Stoneham Lane Football Complex on 7 February, saw Calne Town Walking Football Club continued their climb to the top in the Hampshire FA Walking Football League. Our second appearance in La Liga (second tier) saw the team win all five games, conceding just 2 goals and scoring 11. A great performance which saw CTWFC win our second champions trophy in this Over 55s, 3 touch league, and should see us playing in Serie A (top tier) on our next visit. The New Year Appearance Sandwiched between our league topping performances, CTWFC made the first appearance in La Liga, securing a very respectable second place . These fixtures took place on 10 Jan and saw the team win two games, draw two games and lose one. Our performance on the pitch is table-topping, but our performance off the pith is relegation material. There is no photo of the Jan team and no match result recorded for eithe...

That Golden Goal!

  Back Row: Jon H, Graham N, Charlie N, Phil C, Andy B. Front Row: Paul W, Richard G, Alan B. A day to remember!  AAA put on another great 3-touch football mini-tournament, which saw four teams; AAAWFC, STWFC, BWFC and CTWFC compete, not for a trophy or medals but for bragging rights.  After some nice league games and play-offs, the final was a local derby match... Swindon v Calne, and due to time constraints it would be decided with a Golden Goal.  On paper the firm favourites where Swindon, and as expected they took the game to Calne, hitting the 'wood-work' on a number of occasions and allowing Calne keeper Charlie to show the full extent of his goal keeping skills.  But this game wasn't played on paper, it was played on G3 and Calne made and took their opportunity on the pitch.  After a short period of pressure from Calne, Swindon conceded a free-kick around the halfway line. It was quickly taken and resulted in a decisive cross which was met by our num...
