70s GFA WFL 2023/24: Final Standing

Image
In spite of a good 2023/24 season overall, Calne 70s didn't manage to retain their 2022/24 title.  Fine margins and 'Ifs, Buts, and Maybes', this may have hinged on a strike-less penultimate game day on 7 March: Calne Town   0 v 0  Bournemouth WF Weston Super Mare  1 v 0  Calne Town Merthyr Town  0 v 0  Calne Town Exeter Strollers  1 v 0  Calne Town The final game day on 28 March saw the goals flow back, but... maybe... if only...  Calne Town   0 v 0  Abbeymead Rovers Cirencester Phoenix  0 v 3   Calne Town Clevedon Town  0 v 1   Calne Town Keynsham Town Y&B  0 v 1   Calne Town We go again next season... a little older, a little wiser.  Well done and thank you, to all the Calne Town 70s players, the referees and the organisers, and congratulations to this year's Champions, Bournemouth WF.  For all 70s results,  CLICK HERE . ⚫ 🟢 _______________ << HOME

60s GFA WFL: Closing In On A Conclusion

Image
A mixed bag of results on 24 March saw both Calne teams drop a position in the 60s GFA WFL and lots of movement throughout the league: Abbeymead Rovers 'Yellows'  0 v 0  Calne Town A Bishops Cleeve   0 v 1  Calne Town A Bristol Utd   1 v 1  Calne Town A Calne Town A   0 v 0  Calne Town B Cam & Dursley   1 v 0  Calne Town B Highworth Town   1 v 0  Calne Town B SBL Warmley   1 v 1  Calne Town B Swindon Town   1 v 0  Calne Town B Weston-Super-Mare   1 v 1  Calne Town A The last game-day on 12 May sees the As & Bs play the following fixtures, with a chance to climb the league... but not win it. Though, with the upcoming games, both teams can affect who wins it! Calne Town Bs have a heavy schedule: Abbeymead Rovers, Bishops Cleave, Hereford FC, Keynsham Town and league leaders Weston-Super-Mare.  Calne Town As, with just three games, have it a little easier: SBL Warmley, Swindon Town and Cl...

Another Trip To The Top In The Hants League

Image
CHAMPIONS: Back: Phil C, Charlie N, Graham N, Perry K. Front: Alan B, Jon H, Ollie S. The 120 mile round trip to Stoneham Lane Football Complex on 7 February, saw Calne Town Walking Football Club continued their climb to the top in the Hampshire FA Walking Football League. Our second appearance in La Liga (second tier) saw the team win all five games, conceding just 2 goals and scoring 11. A great performance which saw CTWFC win our second champions trophy in this Over 55s, 3 touch league, and should see us playing in Serie A (top tier) on our next visit. The New Year Appearance Sandwiched between our league topping performances, CTWFC made the first appearance in La Liga, securing a very respectable second place . These fixtures took place on 10 Jan and saw the team win two games, draw two games and lose one. Our performance on the pitch is table-topping, but our performance off the pith is relegation material. There is no photo of the Jan team and no match result recorded for eithe...

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.

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

Image
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!
