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 On a mild, sunny morning the gloves and beanies were abandoned, and this round of matches would be played in two halves, giving each team the opportunity to play with their backs to the sun. Let's see how the Blacks and Greens got on... Greens Chris W, Perry K, Charlie N, Geoff R. Mark K, Jon H, Martin P. Calne G reens over 60s team picked up a decent haul of 8 points from 5 games in the penultimate round of Gloucester League fixtures.   In the absence of a number of regular players due to holidays and injury the playing s quad was boosted by the late addition of Martin who performed very well in defence when called upon. The players on the day comprised Charlie , Jon, Martin, G eoff , Chris , Mark and Perry .   Our first game was our only reverse of the day, going down 1 v 0 to an improving Cirencester team , who deserved their win.   A creditable 1 v 1 draw followed against second place Abbeymead Rovers, the goal coming from a long rang...

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 ...
