70s Keep On Truckin'...

Image
This latest visit to Almondsbury saw a good set of results for the 70s who keep on truckin' in the quest to retain the title:  Abbeymead Rovers 0 v 2 CTWFC 70s CTWFC 70s 1 v 0 Bristol Utd. 70s CTWFC 70s 2 v 0 Clevedon Town  Keynsham Town Orange 0 v 0 CTWFC 70s There was very little movement in terms of standings but CTWFC move two points closer to leaders Keynsham Town Orange and level on points with Bournmouth WF. So, going into the last two rounds of games puts us in a very good position to cross the finish line ahead of the competition... again!!   For all team results CLICK HERE.

  Terry P, Laurence E, Charlie N, Graham N. Andy G, Alan B, Abbi H. The 70s defence of their GFAWFL 2022/23 title kicked-off on 26 October with 3 draws and a win and continued on 7 December with... another 3 draws and a win! This leaves the 70s in a great position and once they get their eye in, the goals will come and the challenge of retaining their status of 'Champions' could easily be met.  CTWFC 7/12 RESULTS (squad shown above) CTWFC 70s 1 v 0 Weston Super Mare AFC CTWFC 70s 0 v 0 Merthyr Town CTWFC 70s 0 v 0 Keynsham Town Yellow & Blue CTWFC 70s 1 v 1 Keynsham Town Orange CTWFC 26/10 RESULTS  CTWFC 70s 0 v 0 Exeter Strollers CTWFC 70s 0 v 0 Cirencester Phoenix CTWFC 70s 1 v 0 Bristol Utd. 70s CTWFC 70s 0 v 0 Bournemouth WF For full results CLICK HERE The upcoming match-days are scheduled for 18 January, 8 February and 7 March, all Thursdays.  

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!

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!) .

8th Algarve WF Cup 2023 - Avante Para Cima

 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...

Football and Cake In Maidenhead

Image
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.
