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...

A pleasant evening trip down the A4 saw a Calne mixed 50s, 60s, 70s representative team (without a keeper!) play against the lads of Hungerford. The invitation was to give the Hungerford players a taste of competing against another team, and a three team round robin was played out on the immaculate 4G pitch at John O'Gaunt School. Scores weren't kept, but even with 2 CTWFC wins (9 goals scored, 1 conceded) , everybody enjoyed the evening and Hungerford have not lost their appetite for more competitive/friendly games. Thank you and we hope to see you again soon! Contributor: Paul W ⚫ 🟢 _______________ << HOME
