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...

Perry K, Tony N, Geoff R. Jon H, Rob S, Mark K. Let's get straight to the point... we lost in the final to Swindon 0 v 3.  That was after beating Salisbury 2 v 1 in the semi-final with goals from Mark and Jon.  Only 4 teams entered in the Wiltshire FA Rounds, which meant entry to semi-finals was automatic but to see who was pitched against who, we played against each team in a round robin, losing to Swindon 2 v 3, with Perry scoring both goals, Salisbury 1 v 2 (Perry again) and drew 1 v 1 against Melksham with a goal from Mark.  In addition to the scorers, Rob made his comeback between the sticks following a long layoff with a sore finger, there was a guest appearance from Devizes' Geoff who usually scores against us, and Tony made his long awaited first appearance for The Neroverdi.  A good effort overall considering we had not played as a team before and had zero subs on the day. By contrast Swindon had a squad of 9 regulars!  Good luck to Swindon who now make...

Bob B, Phil C, Charlie N, Martin P. Jeff D, Mark K, Jon H. Calne over 60s played in the penultimate round of matches of the Wiltshire league on Sunday, winning one, drawing three and losing one, giving us a creditable haul of 6 points from 5 games, particularly as we were without four regular players, missing through a combination of injury, illness and holidays. Our squad were the regulars of Charlie, Phil and Mark, joined by Jeff, Martin, Bob and Jon, on his return from Portugal. We started the day with a 0 v 0 draw against Highworth and were indebted to Charlie who made several excellent saves.   We then achieved the same result against Salisbury but were the better side on this occasion, their keeper making an outstanding save to deny Mark. We were well beaten 2 v 0 by a strong Swindon side who   finished the day overtaking us (update below*) in pursuit of the league title. What followed was a 1 v 1 draw with Devizes, in a game we really should have won. We went ahead wit...

John W, Steve P, Phil C, Perry K. Jeff D, Andy G, Ollie S This was the last match-day in the Wilts 65s league and we started with a squad of 7, of whom 2 (Perry and Andy) were already struggling with injuries. We started well with a 1 v 1 draw against Swindon who were joint top at that stage, and one of 2 sides who could win the league. In the end, that draw cost them their opportunity to do so.  But as injuries kicked in big-time, we lost 3 v 0 to Highworth (eventual league winners) and 2 v 1 to Salisbury (by which time our chance to overtake them to finish in 3rd place had disappeared), before finally withdrawing from our last game against Cirencester due to not being able to field a team. So a disappointing first season in the newly established Over 65s league, but we know we can do better than that. So roll on next season and the chance for us to put things right. And congratulations to Highworth Town Walking Football Club for sealing the deal, thanks to all participant...
