A Day Trip to Swindon

Image
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 ...

  Runners-Up in 60s Wiltshire League - A Proud Day for All Involved Graham N, Phil C, Charlie N, Chris W. Paul W, Mark K, Jeff D. Today marked the final matches of the 2024 Wiltshire Walking Football League, and the seasoned veterans of Calne Town Walking Football Club 60s ended their campaign as proud runners-up, just 2 points behind Swindon.  The Trophy Players Medal  It was a day of tight battles, precision football, and, of course, plenty of laughs. Watching on with pride was Nicola from Omnium, CTWFC's new sponsor, whose company logo gleamed on the players’ fresh new shirts as they lifted the runner-up trophy. Omnium had seen the potential in our lads, and it’s safe to say they made the right call! The day kicked off with a clash of the stripes, as Calne took on Melksham in a 0 v 0 draw. Both sides, perhaps still shaking off the remnants of the summer break, kept it cautious but tidy, with Paul hitting the post being the closest either side came to scoring. It was a ...

That Golden Goal!

  Back Row: Jon H, Graham N, Charlie N, Phil C, Andy B. Front Row: Paul W, Richard G, Alan B. A day to remember!  AAA put on another great 3-touch football mini-tournament, which saw four teams; AAAWFC, STWFC, BWFC and CTWFC compete, not for a trophy or medals but for bragging rights.  After some nice league games and play-offs, the final was a local derby match... Swindon v Calne, and due to time constraints it would be decided with a Golden Goal.  On paper the firm favourites where Swindon, and as expected they took the game to Calne, hitting the 'wood-work' on a number of occasions and allowing Calne keeper Charlie to show the full extent of his goal keeping skills.  But this game wasn't played on paper, it was played on G3 and Calne made and took their opportunity on the pitch.  After a short period of pressure from Calne, Swindon conceded a free-kick around the halfway line. It was quickly taken and resulted in a decisive cross which was met by our num...
