Blacks and Greens 60s - 6th and Final Matchday of GFA WFL 24/25

Image
On the last matchday of the GFA WFL 24/25, Calne's Blacks & Greens again saw some movement in their league positions; the Blacks moved up and the Greens moved down. The overall team performances and final positions where reflective of EPL's Arsenal and Tottenham - they have the potential and desire to take top place, but can never quite manage it - next year is our year! On that note, congratulations to Weston-Super-Mare on taking the champions spot for 24/25. And a big thank you to the organisers at GFA's Oaklands Park, the referees and all the teams and participants who, together, make this an enjoyable challenge regardless of the final results :o[ Greens Andy B, Perry K, Chris W, Charlie N, Geoff R. Pete W, Martin P. The Greens started with a comfortable 2 v 0 win against Hereford with goals from Perry and a last minute effort from Geoff.  Our next game against Barry was a slow start and they had several efforts on goal in the first five minutes. Fortunately our goal...

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 ...
