Calne Town FC hosted their annual end of season charity day for Wiltshire Air Ambulance , a charity close to the club's heart. As well as bbq, beer and banter, three games were played through the afternoon, with the walking football sandwiched between two running games (with full-on tackling and above head height also allowed!) .   The walking football was, as usual, a good game played between Calne and Melksham, even though a few of the younger spectators dared to suggest there was some running!  Regardless, the final score was CTWFC 2 v 1 MWFC, and after the game players from both teams had a drink together, discussing the age old question; what does and does not constitute 'running'?  Cheers! A big thank you to  Calne Town FC  for hosting the event,  Melksham Walking Football Club for supplying the markers, the goalposts AND the opposition, and Graham...

Despite putting up a good show we didn't get through to the knockout stage and therefore didn't come away with a trophy.  However, this is one of those walking football events where the important thing is the taking part, it was another enjoyable day with good games of football and, as always, excellent cakes. Thanks once again to the organisers,  the referees,  the opposition teams, the sport therapy students, the supporters and those excellent cake makers. And congratulation to the winners, our friends and neighbours, Swindon Town Walking Football Club. Coffee morning or not, you can make a donation to   help Macmillan Cancer Support.
