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 ...

John W, Steve P, Phil C, Perry K. Jeff D, Andy G, Ollie S This was the last match-day in the Wilts 65s league and we started with a squad of 7, of whom 2 (Perry and Andy) were already struggling with injuries. We started well with a 1 v 1 draw against Swindon who were joint top at that stage, and one of 2 sides who could win the league. In the end, that draw cost them their opportunity to do so.  But as injuries kicked in big-time, we lost 3 v 0 to Highworth (eventual league winners) and 2 v 1 to Salisbury (by which time our chance to overtake them to finish in 3rd place had disappeared), before finally withdrawing from our last game against Cirencester due to not being able to field a team. So a disappointing first season in the newly established Over 65s league, but we know we can do better than that. So roll on next season and the chance for us to put things right. And congratulations to Highworth Town Walking Football Club for sealing the deal, thanks to all participant...

Perry K, John H, Ollie S, Phil C. Graham N, Mark K, Paul W. An enjoyable way to start the week, helped by the the rain staying away until we'd finished our football. The regular visit to Oxfordshire saw hosts Abingdon Almost Athletic, Highworth Town, Charlbury Town and Calne Town slugging it our for bragging rights in another friendly round-robin.   We got off to a good start against AAA with Mark scoring the only goal of the 20 minute match and racking up three points with a 1 v 0 win. Next up was Highworth, who had our usual keeper, Charlie, in goal!! We took advantage of this added incentive to score, which Paul, Mark and Charlie himself duly did - a  close quarters shot from Paul came in hard and rattled the post before hitting the diving keeper on the back of the head and crossing the line, and t his is now recorded as Charlie's first ever goal for Calne Town Walking Football Club.  The defence played their part under mounting pressure, making sure only a single goal...
