First Run Out For All Stars

Image
John C, Andy S, Doggo, Kevin G. Sion H, Bill C, Bob B. The Sunday Championship - another great six team tournament hosted by the Chippy boys. The Calne Town WFC All Stars final result was disappointing, in that we missed qualification for the Semi Final by letting in one goal more than Abby United.  Ah well...  As a scratch team there was some good play in terms of structure but the games against Chippenham Blues, a more matured team, cost us. We lost to the Blues twice, 1 v 0 in game one ( did the scorer run into place! 😉) and a deserved 3 v 0 loss in game three, where Chippenham Blues played really well.  Games against Abby United were closer and we kept their goalie busy. Game two was a 1 v 0 win, with a goal from Bob, and a 0 v 0 draw in game four... we created a couple of really good chances to score as well.   Final could not be played so Chippenham Blue and Salisbury tied trophy, also same teams tied fair play. Congratulations to both teams.  Than...

At It Again In Abingdon

Image
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...

Hungerford's Hunger For Football

Image
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

A 5 Team Round Robin, A Scotch Egg and A Pint

Back: Laurence E, Kevin G, Martin P, Rob S, Charlie N, Alan B. Front: Paul W, Graham N, Andy G, Jeff D, Mark K, Abbi H. Melksham, Swindon, Cirencester Phoenix, and Jeff's and Alan's Calne teams all met on a sunny Monday morning at Beversbrook, Calne. It was an enjoyable morning of 65s football (with a few 60s concessions) with Swindon and Al's Calne playing out a draw in the final, and agreeing to retire immediately to the pub rather than go through a penalty shootout. So, players, referees and supporters headed off to a local hostelry for a refreshing beverage and a bite to eat - the way it should be!
