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...

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...
