Girls Football Training in March WBTFC are offering training for any girls interested in playing football in school years 4, 5, 6 and 7. The sessions are being held at Ballards Ash on all Saturday mornings from 9AM to 10.30AM. Please ensure that suitable footwear, weather-appropriate clothing and shin pads are worn and that the girls bring a drink with them. FROM THE DUGOUT

Firstly I would like to welcome the players, officials and supporters of Trowbridge Town bar after the game.

It is always a pleasure to play against Trowbridge they have a great history and are one of the biggest teams in Wiltshire. They are still one of the best supported teams at this level and it is always a pleasure to see their fans turn out in numbers.

I have to say how disappointed I was after the Clanfield game not with the players but some of the negative comments that were being bandied about. We have lost one game in the last 18 matches and have played some good football along the way. We have 8 games left and we are in with more than a fighting chance so let the team even when things are not going our way. This is a very young and very committed team.

On a positive note I would like to take this opportunity to thank Simon Paish who runs the Reserves and despite their league position is doing a great job. It cannot be easy when I ask him to give four of my First Team squad a game for various reasons. Every time I have been to Simon he has accommodated us, he is doing a great job and it is really appreciated by everyone connected to the First Team.

We must be doing something right at Bassett as I have had three players from three different teams in our league offering their services to me over the last few weeks. No disrespect to any of those players but I am totally happy with squad that I have assembled this season and they will be given every chance to see the season out.

We really need to get back to winning ways today if we are going to fulfil our early season promise. The squad is fully fit as we come in to the last few games so no excuses now it is all down to us. We have worked our socks off to get where we are and with a little bit of luck we can compete right until the end of the season.

OPPONENTS HISTORY

Trowbridge Town AFC was formed in the summer of 1998 following the demise of Trowbridge Town (1983) Ltd.

Football supporters in the town, saddened by the end of the Club, got together and agreed to resurrect interest and form a new Club.

The first year saw the Club with no team and no ground but a lot of time and effort put in by supporters of the resulted in finances being raised and a partner arrange- ment being agreed with Trowbridge Town Youth to share their Woodmarsh facilities.

The Club joined the Wiltshire County League for the 1999-2000 Season, winning the County Intermediate League at the first attempt and promotion to the County Senior League.

Consistent performances were achieved in this League with the Club reaching the final of both the County Senior Cup and League Knockout Cup in two successive seasons. The club completed the Wiltshire League Championship and Wilts Senior Cup double in 2003-2004 and, together with ground improvements during the summer, brought the reward of a place in the Hellenic League.

The runners-up spot was achieved at the first attempt but promotion could not be taken due to ground requirements, something which was unfortunately repeated again two years later when runners-up was attained for a second time.

Since the Club’s formation the emphasis has been placed on running a Members Clubs that keeps itself financially sound. The Membership total has remained at a consistent level and together with average attendances at home matches that would be the envy of many other Senior Clubs, interest in the Club has remained at a high level.

Since 1998, the emphasis on the playing side has been based on young players from the local areas (with a few exceptions). The club has always has a strong link with Trowbridge Town Youth and the two clubs formally merged in June 2008. Town Youth FC has been one of the most successful youth football Clubs in the County for a number of years and many of their players and coaches have progressed to play, or manage the senior side.

Trowbridge appointed Chris Carr; their youngest ever coach, for the current season. Although the Club looks to the youth and the broader structure of the Club to secure an enduring future, there are long and proud roots to this County Town set up. Future plans include the further development of Woodmarsh in order to be to make the next step up the football pyramid. FROM THE ARCHIVES 1968-69 OPPONENTS PEN PICS

Christmas week saw a visit to Lacock based side Black Sports who were down at the bottom of the table. Probably the most disappointing result of the season saw Wootton Bassett go Mistakes are always going to hurt a team, whether they are against a struggling side or a high-flying side. You make too down 3-1 and the early season highs all of sudden seemed a long time ago as Wootton Bassett many and you’re going to lose. Wootton Bassett Town haven’t seemed to work that out yet. Despite a fantastic attacking display that saw Trowbridge Town ripped to shreds during the first half and for on and off spells continued to slip down the table. throughout the second, their Wiltshire rivals came away with a 4-2 victory. Three of their goals came from Bassett mistakes. The first game of the New Year was played on 11th January 1969 when Wootton Bassett played host The first came eight minutes in when Martin Thompson scuffed a clearance and Dave Percival slid through Mark Gerrish down the left and he comfortably beat Sean Purcell from 15 yards. to near neighbours Wroughton, another side who were at the wrong end of the table and who were However Bassett were back on level terms 15 minutes in. Nathan Perkins swung in a perfectly placed corner, Steve Yeardley without a win to their name. Another disappointing result saw the two sides share six goals, Bob lost his marker, and the Bassett skipped emphatically headed home from 12 yards. Pearce, Ian Sinfield and another Brian Ewen penalty scoring at the right end for Bassett, Colin Taylor For the first time in a long time, conceding first had not dented Bassett’s confidence. Up until six minutes before the break scoring at the wrong end in Wroughton’s three goals. This was very much a point dropped rather than the chances fell solely to the home team. a point gained. There was a fortnight break before the next game against Devizes Town Reserves. Dennis King was first to test Trowbridge, firing a 30 yard free kick just over midway through the period. Despite the Devizes goalkeeper not turning up at Rylands Way, Wootton Bassett still lost to yet Then Matty Bennett constantly torched Craig Brown down the right. Four times he was able to beat him and deliver in another team down at the bottom of the table, 1-3 the score with Colin Taylor scoring the consolation testing crosses.

Melksham Town won 2-0 at Rylands and the other game saw Wootton Bassett Ten minutes before the break Bennett found John Magani’s feet and the forward took a step away from his man before firing lose 3-1 at Melksham, Tommy Gardiner scoring with a brilliant 20 yard drive the only high for viciously at goal from 12 yards. Lewis Porter though was equal to the effort and did well to hold onto the powerfully struck Bassett from the match. shot. A minute later a looping cross this time picked Stoddart out at the far post. The forward – making his first team return after a The first win of the New Year was finally secured on the first day of March, Brian Ewen with two successful spell in the reserves – rose to the ball and headed goalwards but could only find the top of the bar and the ball goals and Dave Challis with one securing a 3-1 home win over West Lavington.

The Stoddart had another chance go begging at the other end as he got in front of his marker and struck low and first time from following week Wootton Bassett Town returned to winning ways with a 2-0 success over Devizes 10 yards. But a desperately stuck out boot from a Trowbridge defender deflected the effort wide. Town Reserves, Phil Marsh and Ian Sinfield scoring the Wootton Bassett winning goals. On the stroke of half time the killer blow was struck. A quick break was initiated by a Porter boot up-field. Brown raced onto the ball and delivered a low cross from the left touchline and Minnis slid in after racing 50 yards from the centre of midfield The first game played in April saw a draw away at Dursley.

Lehane and Dave Challis scoring in a game which saw both sides miss penalties. April ended with In the 55th minute a clever switch from left to right saw Bennett race in behind the visitors’ defence. He struck a low shot two defeats away from home, a 2-1 defeat at Radstock Town being followed by a similar result at from 15 yards across goal and another deflection took the ball wide of the post. Substitute Andy White did get a goal back with 64 minutes on the clock, towering above the Trowbridge defence to head a Westcott, Tommy Gardiner with the consolation goal in the latter fixture. Two days later Wootton Lee Morse free kick in over the head of a flat-footed Porter. Bassett won 2-1 in the Subsidiary Cup against Dursley with goals from Roy Blackburn and Brian Trowbridge had seemingly learnt a lesson from Aston Villa the night before as they tightened up at the back, limiting Bassett Ewen. Unfortunately it has not been possible to trace any further results in the competition. The to one more chance – another White header in injury time. White diverted a King cross towards goal but an acrobatic tip season ended with a 4-1 defeat at Warminster, Bob Thomas with the Wootton Bassett goal. A season from Porter helped it over. that had started so brightly had faded away badly and the side finished in a disappointing 11th place. In the proceeding minutes, the contest got a bit tasty with a few late fouls and a confrontation between King and opposite number Lee Salter, resulting in both being booked. Stu Hemsley found himself cautioned for a high tackle earlier on whilst The final league table for the season and results and scorers (where known) for games played are timewasting saw Percival and Brown find their names in the book. shown overleaf: Scoop’s Man of the Match: Steve Yeardley – despite only playing 65 minutes, Yeardley had a large impact on the game from his right back position. He linked up superbly with Bennett, feeding him down the right and creating space for the winger with his timely overlapping runs.

Scoop Rating: 5/10 – Bassett had Trowbridge left for dead at times and were creating chances for fun in the first half. But three gifted goals saw confidence levels dip and cost Bassett at least a point against an average Trowbridge side, who aren’t nearly as good as they think they are.

This was followed by a 1-0 defeat against Bromham at Rylands in a Car Driven: Rav 4 game played in thick fog. The only points won in the month were obtained from a visit to West Favourite Music: Lavington where Colin Taylor (2), Dave Challis and Brian Ewen, with yet another penalty, scored in a Favourite Film: Wizard of Oz 4-0 win. A 3-0 defeat at home to 2nd placed Bemerton ended the November fixtures as the game the Favourite TV Show: Corrie following week at Radstock was postponed by the match referee much to the annoyance of both Favourite Nightspot: The Old Bank teams, particularly the Wootton Bassett contingent, as noted on the back page of the Football Pink: Favourite Drink: Red Wine Despite protests from both teams the referee, Mr R. Feltham, postponed the Radstock v Chinese or Indian?: Both! Wootton Bassett fixture at Radstock this afternoon. “The pitch is waterlogged” said Mr Pub or Club?: Pub Feltham, “We would not get through the match.” “It is ridiculous” said Mr A.K. Thomas, Beach Resort or City Break?: Beach resort secretary of Wootton Bassett. “At least he could have started the match to see how conditions Blonde or Brunette?: Both, not fussy! were”. Mr Frank Davies, Chairman added, “Four of us brought cars down and many of the Person in the World You Would Most lads lost an hours work this morning to get away in time. We came here prepared to play and Like to Meet: Paula Radcliffe (pictured) are still ready to do so.

The beginning of December saw the traditional Country Cup fixtures with Wootton Bassett Town >]$ making an early exit from the prestigious competition, going down 4-0 at home to Chippenham Town. FROM THE ARCHIVES 1968-69 FOOTY NUT

# 1-,S[XZVX[&-1##0#&# 71 It is getting tight at the bottom of the Zamaretto Premier Division for Swindon Supermarine as they are 3 points off safety but they do have 4 games in hand over Bedford Town, so their destiny is still in their hands. What was going on in the world An excellent 1-1 draw at Truro was achieved but that was then followed up with a 0-0 draw away at bottom side Rugby Town so that could be viewed as 2 points dropped then. On Saturday they did achieve a good 1-1 Crazy World of Arthur Brown topped the charts with Fire as the season kicked off and ended with the with local rivals Chippenham Town who are on the verge of the playoff spots. It is good that they have kept Beatles at number one with Get Back. Mary Hopkin was top the charts for six whle weeks during the things tight defensively in the last three games but at this stage of the season 3 points from 3 games could season with Those Were The Days. Leeds United were Division One champions finishing six points make things tough and they will need to start scoring a few more goals and turning draws into wins as I am ahead of Liverpool. QPR finish bottom of the table in their first season in the top flight with a sure they will not want it to go to the wire. Manager Mark Collier has done an excellent job at Supermarine measly18 points from 42 games. Swindon Town have a successful season finishing runners-up in and has worked with his hands tied at times with budgetary constraints. I have always said that it is good for the town that Swindon has a team other than Swindon Town playing at the highest non league level they Division Three, just missing out on the title on goal average and also winning the League Cup Final, possibly can so I hope he can steer them to safety. I could not understand the story in the paper about a rumour defeating Arsenal 3-1 after extra-time thanks to an inspired performance and two goals from Don that Hungerford manager Alan Clark was taking over from Mark, it is certainly not a rumour I had heard and Rogers. The FA Cup was won by Manchester City who defeated Leicester City 10 in the final. there is not much that goes past my ears! With all due respect to Clarkie, he has had a tough first season n voyage. As the season starts himself in the Zamaretto South & West Division with Hungerford, a league lower who have only won once in Czechoslovakia is invaded by Russian and Warsaw Pact forces. Richard Nixon is inaugurated as the their last 9 games which sees them in the bottom part of the division so where the rumour has come about him taking a job higher up I am not quite sure. 37th president of the US. The season ends with the Kray Twins being given life sentences for murder. In the Hellenic Prem it is still neck and neck between Reading Town and Almondsbury, although Wantage are th Season 1968-69 kicked off on 10 August with the visit of Trowbridge Town to Rylands Way. A sneaking up on the outside but with their top scorer Rich Claydon now off travelling I do not think they have Brian Ewen penalty put Wootton Bassett in front and Colin Taylor made sure of the two points enough in their locker to really push the top two to the wire. Almondsbury slipped up recently losing to Oxford following a clever move between Martin Oxborrow and Terry Gardiner which Colin Taylor finished City Reserves (sorry should I not call them that?) and drew with Ascot at the weekend but I still back my off n splendid fashion. A visit to Calne the following Saturday saw another two points gained, Martin original opinion that they will overtake Reading Town, who themselves are having a brilliant season and are also through to a cup final. Over at Highworth they have been on a good run and it is nice that it has coincided Oxborrow and Graham Norris the scorers in a narrow 2-1 win. A strange piece of fixture planning with former Bassett Keeper Adam Miller stepping in to cover for regular keeper Ian Gill. Adam came out saw the same opponents visit Rylands Way the following week and again it was two more points for training with me at Cirencester Town and signed a form to act as cover for our keeper and he has worked hard Wootton Bassett in a very encouraging start to the season, Mike Beale and Colin Taylor netting in the in the sessions we have had. Webby needed a keeper with Gilly injured and we needed Adam to get games so 2-0 win. After such a good start to the season August ended with just one point from the next three it suited all parties and he has done such a good job that he has kept Gilly out since he has returned from injury. In fact Gilly is now covering for Chippenham keeper Chris Snoddy who is injured so he cannot get in at games. A 2-1 home defeat to Westcott was followed by a 3-1 reverse at home to Vickers, Bob Highworth but is playing at Zamaretto Premier level, it is funny how this game works! Thomas with the consolation goal. This was followed by a 1-1 draw away at Bromham, Graham Norris firing the Wootton Bassett goal. In Division One of the Hellenic West Cheltenham Saracens have now taken over at the top by 3 points from Slimbridge but have played 3 games more so there is still all to play for with Purton and Wootton Bassett also September opened with a trip down south to Westbury and another point was gained from another 1-1 still going strong. I have not really talked about the East division before this season as I have not seen anything draw, Graham Norris again the scorer. Wootton Bassett were again on their travels the following of it but this past week I have had an experience. My old mate Lyner at Witney has had a keeper crisis and some crisis it must be as he first asked me to sign a form, then to my surprise actually asked me to play in a week but this time it was the much shorter distance to play Wroughton and Wootton Bassett returned game! I had told him to make sure I was the last resort and that he should ask the groundsman, cleaner and with both points having secured their second away win of the season. First half goals from Ian cook first so I can only presume they were all busy when I got the nod. So the gloves came out after over a Sinfield ad Bob Pearce sent Wootton Bassett on their way to a 5-2 win. Goals from Alan Dowdeswell year of not having played a single game for Witney's league cup tie with East division side Woodley Town and Bob Thomas secured a 2-0 home win over Black Sports the following week, Dowdeswell scoring who I had never heard of. I looked at their stats and they had won their last 7 games on the bounce and were with a long range effort. Wootton Bassett could also afford the luxury of a missed penalty by Brian sat third in the league so I thought they must have something about them. To be fair I was very impressed with them, they were very organised and had a pattern to their play, were organised at set pieces and had pace going Ewen, as reported by the Football Pink under the headline Wootton Bassett Rise, High Position forward and had a cracking little winger who was not asked to do much defensive duties to free him up to consolidated by 2-0 win: attack every time he could. He ran at us and took players on for fun and was a real handful. We were 1-0 up and they had a man sent off so it looked like we would see it through but one ball over a square Witney back The tense struggles at the top and bottom of the Wiltshire Combination have not obscured the four sent their lad away and he finished well past me with 7 mins remaining. We then won a penalty in the last manner in which Wootton Bassett have thrust themselves into a high position. Last Saturdays minute which I thought great I can get home at a reasonable time...... wrong!...we missed that. No further goals 2-0 win over Black Sports consolidated Wootton Bassett in third position , only one point were added in extra time but their keeper pulled off some great saves and the inevitable happened when it went behind Sanford Youth Centre who were two behind Bromham, the leaders [Ed: should have to penalties. Their keeper pulled off two good saves, well I say two good saves.....the first one as I watched on next to the linesman by the goal he clearly moved off his line before the ball was struck then making a good read Bemerton]. Naturally this has brought a good deal of satisfaction to Wootton Bassett, save. I turned to the linesman and screamed he is off his line to which he just said "that is being even if they have not overlooked the fact that fixtures have favoured them with their two most pedantic"!!...excuse me but why does the linesman stand there looking along the line????...though really I recent games up to date being against the bottom two. Both games were won, and these should not have been surprised as just before the kicks he was moaning to me about it going to extra time and victories, plus four games without defeat have given a lot of confidence to a side in which penalties as he wanted to get home!!.....as for my own penalty saving feats, well I am afraid I follow in the same line as top keepers such as Dave Seaman and Peter Shilton....I kept going the wrong way young players like Ian Sinfield and Alan Dowdeswell have been introduced among the older hahaha...... members. There is still some polishing up to do for goals are being missed too easily.

Clanfield hold Bassett in check

Rylands Way, 6th March 2010

The Hellenic League Division One West promotion chase continued to bewilder as 1902/03 Wiltshire Senior Cup Runners-up Wootton Bassett Town dropped points at home for the second consecutive game, this 1902/03 Advertiser Cup Runners-up time in a 1-1 draw with Clanfield. 1903/04 Wiltshire Senior Cup Runners-up Bassett had taken the lead through Andy Philpott, but an equaliser from their Oxfordshire 1905/06 Wiltshire County League Runners-up visitors , who were beaten 3-en only a couple of weeks ago, ensured the 1930/31 Calne & District League Runners-up spoils were shared. 1931/32 Calne & District League Champions After Purtons defeat last week at home to Easington Sports, Bassett had the opportunity to ensure Chris Pethicks men would only be able to go level on points with them. But this was 1933/34 Vale of White Horse Cup Winners chance was blown with another disappointing home result. 1934/35 Calne & District League Champions The damage of only drawing was limited though as Slimbridge were held to a goalless draw Calne & District League Cup Winners at Letcombe. 1935/36 Calne & District League Champions Cheltenham Saracens and the resurgent Headington Amateurs , both victors in their Calne & District League Cup Runners-up respective games , appear to be the only two sides in the top five interested in winning 1938/39 Brotherhood Cup Winners currently, but even then they both had wins by the slimmest of margins against strugglers 1953/54 Vale of White Horse Cup Winners Trowbridge Town and Winterbourne United respectively. 1957/58 Chippenham & District League Division 2 Champions It is those two sides who Bassett face next at Rylands Way and it is arguably now an imperative that both see three points gained from both games. 1958/59 Wiltshire League Division 1 Champions 1978/79 Wiltshire County League Division 2 Runners-up Wiltshire County League Subsidiary Cup Winners 1982/83 Wiltshire County League Division 4 Runners-up 1983/84 Wiltshire County League Ghia Senior Cup Winners Dave: Here Al, cannot believe 1984/85 Wiltshire County League Division 2 Champions that hat Tucks is wearing Wiltshire County League Ghia Junior Cup Runners-up today. 1987/88 Wiltshire County League Division 1 Champions Al Blake: Yeah looks right Wiltshire Senior Cup Runners-up silly Dave, especially the 1988/89 Wiltshire County League Ghia Junior Cup Runners-up green fire exit bit. 1989/90 Hellenic League Division 1 Cup Winners 1993/94 Hellenic League Division 1 Cup Winners 1994/95 Hellenic League Division 1 Cup Runners-up 1998/99 Wiltshire Senior Cup Winners 2000/01 Wiltshire Senior Cup Winners Hellenic League Reserves Division 2 West Champions BASSETT’S HELLENIC RECORD LADIES SECTION IN FOCUS
