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!

CHAMPIONS: Back: John W, Charlie N, Kevin G. Front: Paul W, Alan B, Ollie S. Calne Walking Football Club's introduction to the Hampshire FA Walking Football League was met with a heavy downpour and the only goal to be conceded (There was no connection!) . But once we settled down to the strict three touch rule, the sun came out and we picked up maximum points from the remaining four games, finishing top of Ligue 1* and collecting the winners trophy. Thanks to the organisers, referees and opposition teams, for an enjoyable morning. We'll be back - whatever the weather!  Results and Standings Calne Town 1 v 1 Gosport Green Calne Town 1 v 0 Gosport Yellow Calne Town 2 v 0 Portsmouth Sky Calne Town 1 v 0 Southampton Strollers Calne Town 2 v 0 Wyvern Walkers *One of the three HFA walking football 'ranked' leagues; Serie A, La Liga and Ligue 1.

 Perry K, Dave H, Charlie N, Phil C. Jon H, Mark K, Graham N. Place: Browns Sports Resort, Vilamoura, Portugal.  Time: 29 & 30 September. Dia Um On day one, in temperatures reaching 28 ˚ C (that's 82 ˚F for the older folk amongst us!)  t his group of lads topped ' the group of death'. 0-0 v Firenze 1-0 v  Billericay (Dave; Graham assist) 1-0 v Grimsby (Perry; penalty) Including the pre tournament warm-up games, the squad hadn't conceded in 7 games and were set up nicely for the knock-out stage on day two. Dia Dois We edged into the quarter finals, after winning 2 v 0 on penalties following a goalless draw against Charlebury. In an eventful QF game against Ayr, Perry was sent off early and following a stoic 15 minutes the 4 men of Calne conceded a questionable goal - our opponents even acknowledged their goal should not have stood. C'est la vie (or whatever the Portuguese equivalent is) .  Finishing 5th out of the 24 international teams was a g...

Back Row: Charlie N, Graham N, Phil C, Perry K. Front Row: Paul W, Pete C, Richard G. This is our third appearance at Maidenhead's annual Macmillan Coffee Morning WF tournament. Despite putting up a good show we didn't get through to the knockout stage and therefore didn't come away with a trophy.  However, this is one of those walking football events where the important thing is the taking part, it was another enjoyable day with good games of football and, as always, excellent cakes. Thanks once again to the organisers,  the referees,  the opposition teams, the sport therapy students, the supporters and those excellent cake makers. And congratulation to the winners, our friends and neighbours, Swindon Town Walking Football Club. Coffee morning or not, you can make a donation to   help Macmillan Cancer Support.  

A disappointing final day at the office for both teams.  With a good result agains Melksham, Strollers won 1 and lost 3 and provided a photograph of the team/squad - champions! CTWFC Strollers Back Row: Richard G, John W, Alan R, Terry P. Front Row: Jeff D, Martin  Striders beat Salisbury 4-0 and Swindon B 3-1 and lost  3-1 to Melksham and, largely  as the result of a poor decision by the 'office manager', lost   1-0 to Swindon A,  and with Devizes winning all 4 of their games to overtake, Striders dropped to 4th place. Regardless of disappointments, a big thank you to the organisers, the referees, the participating teams and the supporters. We will see you next year, if not before. Final WCWFL 2023 Standings:
