Calne over 60s team picked up 7 points from 5 games in the latest round of fixtures in the Wiltshire League , which were played at the recently opened 3G pitch, on a particularly chilly day in June at Stanley Park, Chippenham .    We remain top of the league on a day when we recorded wins over the teams who were occupying the 2nd and 3rd positions at the start of the day but conversely lost to the two teams at the bottom of the table. This goes to show how evenly matched all six teams in the league are, with most games being decided by a single goal.  Dave H, Chris W, Graham N, Paul W. Pete W, Charlie N, Pete C, Mark K (c). The playing squad was Charlie N in goal , Pete W in defence, Chris W , Pete C , Graham N and Mark K in midfield and Dave H and Paul W alternating in attack. All performed admirably on the day although Mark only played limited minutes due to being restricted by a minor i njury .   Our first game was a 1 v 0 win against 2nd placed Swin...

A wet and windy morning at Green Lane was the backdrop for CTWFC 65s to improve on the last round of games. And, although it wasn't by much, we managed it... w ith a five point haul, the second highest this gameweek, and the second best goal difference at zero, one less than Highworth!    Jeff D, Richard G, Andy G, Phil C, Martin P, Graham N (c), Ollie S, Paul W.

  Steve G, Chris W, John K, Paul W, Graham N, Pete C. Mark K (c), Dave H. Having started the day in 2nd place in the WCWFL 60s, we had high hopes of maintaining that position, and with a few changes to the squad from match day one, it took a little time to settle. We started off with Highworth. Although we dominated possession and created a number chances Highworth proved difficult to break down. Also with a number of players not having played together before we were a little disjointed. However, two well taken goals from Mark settled us and, in all honesty, John had little to do in goal. Then the crunch game against Swindon. It was a tight game with some pride at steak and although Swindon had most of the possession the team structure meant few chances were created and most of those fell to Swindon, but with Steve at the back and John in goal we were always in the game, albeit on the breakaway. And that is what happened when Dave slipped a pass t...

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...
