The All Stars were invited to Grange Drive Leisure Centre for a 4-club mini tournament hosted by Highworth involving Calne Town All Stars, Highworth, Swindon Town B and Chippenham. There was no ice cream on offer but a trophy was at stake, the Ian 'Harry' Stonham Trophy.* Whilst the results weren’t what we hoped for the games were closely fought and didn’t reflect how well we played. Swindon Town B were the winners on the day and well deserved too.      The wider Calne All Stars team comprised of stalwarts Sion, Graham, Kevin and Bob with our top new signing Gordon, making his debut today (and played really well) supported by Neil from Stonehenge, Martin from Highworth and Doggo from Swindon in goal. Thanks for volunteering guys.   Sion H, Gordon C, Doggo, Neal C, Kevin G, Martin O. Graham N, Bob B. Match results, with each team playing each other twice.    Match 1   1 v 0 to Highworth. Other than the goal, nothing in it. Gordon’s first game and one ...

The All Stars were invited to an evening tournament with our Hungerford  friends at their John O'Gaunt 3G centre and, with storm Bert unable to flood this particular venue, it was a successful evening. The format was originally 6-a-side and as Hungerford could field two squads  of 7 and wanted to give them both game time, we agreed to the change as we  had 6 and a sub. Both games were 12 minutes in duration with a half time  switch around. The pitches played well given the very heavy rainfall over  the weekend. The Calne squad comprised Charlie N in goal, a defence of Graham N and Andy  S, a midfield of Bob B, Kevin G and Rob H with Sion up front.  Hungerford played two strong sides and we found Hungerford's first team well  organised and they moved the ball around like the experienced team they  are. Overall, we played well in a tight first game and despite the  scoreline, we were comfortable against their second team. Game 1 It was clo...

John C, Andy S, Doggo, Kevin G. Sion H, Bill C, Bob B. The Sunday Championship - another great six team tournament hosted by the Chippy boys. The Calne Town WFC All Stars final result was disappointing, in that we missed qualification for the Semi Final by letting in one goal more than Abby United.  Ah well...  As a scratch team there was some good play in terms of structure but the games against Chippenham Blues, a more matured team, cost us. We lost to the Blues twice, 1 v 0 in game one ( did the scorer run into place! 😉) and a deserved 3 v 0 loss in game three, where Chippenham Blues played really well.  Games against Abby United were closer and we kept their goalie busy. Game two was a 1 v 0 win, with a goal from Bob, and a 0 v 0 draw in game four... we created a couple of really good chances to score as well.   Final could not be played so Chippenham Blue and Salisbury tied trophy, also same teams tied fair play. Congratulations to both teams.  Than...
