Today’s Game Good afternoon and welcome to the Gerard Buxton Ground for this Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division fixture against Abingdon United. A warm welcome to all the players, management, officials and spectators who have made the journey from Abingdon for this afternoon’s game. This is their second visit RWBTFC Personalised to the new ground having left with a point after a 1-1 draw here last season. The less said about the meeting at their place last season the better, let’s just say it wasn’t our best performance of the season and we were lucky not to concede more than the six we did. A warm welcome also to Bob Dalling, the Merchandise Pricing Uhlsport Hellenic League Chairman, who is visiting us here today. In the past he has been something of a lucky omen to us, I remember him coming to an FA Vase game at Buckingham in Season 2008-9, when Dave Turner was manager, a game we won 5-3. Hopefully he can be a lucky charm for us again today. Going back to Abingdon, they are having a tough time of it this season with just three wins from their opening eleven league fixtures and currently sit bottom of the table. However, we should not under- estimate our opponents here this afternoon, as we have seen already in this very open Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division this season, any team is capable of beating anyone on the day and we need to make sure we put in the same level of performance we did on Tuesday night against Virginia Water to try and make sure we take three points from the game.
Virginia Water On the subject of Virginia Water, what an enjoyable game of football that was on Tuesday night. Two sides trying to play attractive football on a pitch in tip top condition, with a very light touch of frost on the surface meaning the ball travelled at pace helping produce what I though was a cracking game. The referee also had one of his best games in charge of us and it was refreshing to hear the linesman in the second half quickly explaining some of the decisions to the dugout. Communication goes a long way in taking some of the heat out of these game incidents. Well done lino. Twice this season Virginia Water have demonstrated what a good, hard working football side they are, and I can see why their manager thought they deserved something out of the game, even though I thought we just about edged it on the night. We created more clear-cut chances than them and the defensive shape we had in the second half to defend the lead was first class, from the front to the back, and we didn’t really give them any clear-cut chances in that second half. Charlie McCready was excellent in goal all night, pulling off a couple of great saves before we went in front, and was unlucky with their goal, pulling off a great save only for it to fall straight to the Virginia Water striker to then fire into the net. In the end two very good goals from Steve Yeardley, now just 2 appearances away from breaking the 500 appearances barrier, and TJ Bohane, following a brilliant first time cross from Dale Richards, gave us all three points. Given the amount of games played in the modern era relative to the past, there will not have been anyone else in the clubs’ history who has ever made it to 500 First Team appearances and it is a milestone that will probably never be achieved again unless in 15 years’ time Harrison Gough * is still pulling on a blue and yellow shirt! If Steve plays today and then on Monday, the record will be made on Monday at Reading City’s ground. In a way it is a shame that it is an away game, but I am the last person who would be requesting a sixth home game in a row! +
Fixture Scheduling On the subject of fixture scheduling, the Hellenic League have issued a statement regarding fixture planning, an issue that has caused us great angst this season. The statement is reproduced in full after All images must have consent to be used, RWBTFC will not this editorial but does not really answer two of the main issues we have had this season, the long runs take responsibility for the use of unapproved photos. of home or away games and the number of opponents we will have played twice in the first half of the season (currently four and scheduled to be five on Monday and six very soon after). I understand Andy was sending another constructive note to the league to re-iterate our concerns and provide some Please complete the order form located at the bar, suggested improvements/ideas for next season. The league did helpfully disclose their metrics for the number of games they are aiming to complete by mid-December and the turn of the year. The league’s payment is required at the time of order. (Cash / Cheque benchmark is for 55% of “controlled games” (i.e. fixtures managed by the league rather than FA or County cup competitions) being played by mid-December. I note we are currently scheduled to have played 69% only please) When paying by cash please have the correct of “controlled games” as at 15 December 2018 and also just over 69% of our league fixtures. The second amount. League benchmark is for 65% of controlled games to have been played by the turn of the year. Again,
Club Merchandise Bassett News
we are currently scheduled to have played just over 74% of “controlled games” and 75% of our league fixtures by the turn of the year. To me it very much looks like the League’s own metrics seem to support our contention that too many games have been crammed into the first few months of the season, and subject to the weather being kind between now and the end of December we are scheduled to have just nine league games in the New Year.

UHLSPORT Hellenic League Fixtures – What the Hell is Happening? Royal Wootton Bassett Town F. C. Please take a few minutes to read and digest the below. It may help your understanding.
Historical – The ‘head in the sand’ approach to winter weather. Back in the day a fixture schedule was set out at the beginning of the season. It produced a program of fixtures would like to thank our that were evenly spaced out from early August to the end of April. Of course, it never actually worked out that way due to bad winter weather causing postponements, usually in, but not restricted to, January & February. sponsors for this season: Those games were slotted in towards the end of the season. This congests the climax of the season period where cups and trophies are being won or lost. This is simply not fair to those successful clubs as they end up playing too many games in a short period. This practice has been in operation for too many years and there is a need for change. Senior Section Senior Teams Shirt Sponsors - Vacant Minimising the end of season pile up of games? The answer is in planning the fixture program and ‘driving’ it so that the majority of League controlled games First Team Man of the Match Awards - New Calley Arms are played earlier in the season. Space is then left in the program, in April, to fulfil those games postponed due to the weather. April is a highly managed fixture schedule month to cope with these and the final stages First Team Away Travel - Wootton Bassett Service Station of the cup competitions. The aim is for 55% of Hellenic controlled games (League & Cup) for Premier and Division One clubs to be played by mid-December (middle of the season). Ideally 65% by the turn of the year will bring us ahead. Where we need to be. Ladies Team – Aftech and TWB Scrap Metal and Ridgeway So what else affects Fixtures? Leisure Centre in Partnership with Nuffield Health These are in no particular order. The season has to start prior to the round of The FA Cup for our clubs. This season we started on August 4th as the Extra Preliminary Round was August 11th. Development Team after match hospitality provided by The FA requires that Step 5 and 6 Leagues are completed before the end of April. This is so that the process for forming the constitutions of Leagues for the following season can start. This fits in well with our plans as it www.snackandsandwich.co.uk then allows the UHL Cup Finals week to be fixed and take place finishing on Bank Holiday Monday May 6th.
The FA set the constitution of the Leagues. The League Management implements this. The mileages between grounds cannot be magically changed. The distances are what they are. Managing the times for travel is Youth Section crucial. The League sets a maximum distance of approximately 65 miles between clubs to fix mid-week fixtures. Longer distances are usually played on Saturday afternoons. Under 18 Blue – EPOC Properties This works well provided that weather postponements do not cause over capacity on Saturdays. Under 16 Blue - EPOC Properties & Clements Building Contractors Some Local Derby games are fixed for Bank Holidays. Although the League was initially allocated 20 clubs in The Premier Division and 14 in each Division One, unfortunately three clubs have withdrawn, through no fault Under 16 Yellow - Barnes Coaches of the League or the FA. Oxford City Nomads, Bicester Town and most recently Carterton. This has reduced the structure to 19 + 13 + 13. Hence in each division there will be a club without a fixture every week. This is Under 15 Yellow - C.S. Building Services not ideal and each week the Fixture Coordinator looks ahead to see where he can pair clubs. Hence there are Under 15 Blue - Railston some later notice fixtures. Please do not forget that fixtures can be set with five days of notice. Under 14 Yellow - Memstar Distribution The weather forecasts are for wetter winters. Many of our clubs Ground-Share. This is a really important issue for those sharing with clubs that play above the level of the Hellenic League, as the higher-level club, gets Under 14 Blue - J.Rouse & Simplicity priority on the pitch. The Southern League is our biggest ‘higher’ League. Hence our Fixture Co-Ordinator has to wait until he has these fixtures before starting on ours. This season The Southern League made the decision Under 13 Blue - Bevirs Solicitors to delay announcing their fixtures by almost two weeks. It did not matter to them as they start their season Under 12 Blue - Howard Tenens later. But it did to us. Under 11’s - Homelands Fencing and Landscaping For the Future Later this season there will be a Ground Hop. This is expected to take in up to 14 games over the Easter period. Next season the condensing of the fixture list is likely to be greater with the proposed introduction of play-offs for a second promotion spot to Step 4. There is unlikely to be any extension to the season for this. Programme Printing & Sponsor Take Home Messages Cats Solutions Fixturing for the League is a complicated task. There is no computer program available to perform this task that includes distance between grounds etc…. The League is attempting to make everything possible to drive the fixture list and keep control. We do understand that traditionalists may think there is a too limited program Advertising board sponsors for after the turn of the year. Adding the weather factor, and Cup Competition later rounds changes all of this. We have a great Fixture Coordinator. We were one of only two Step 5 Leagues that finished on time last season. Please look at your fixture list at least a month in advance and raise subjects with our Fixture Aftech, T.W. Scrap Metal, C.S Building Services, Arctic Services, Coordinator. Nothing is perfect. There will be some bumps and scrapes along the way. There is no substitute Advanced Sports Coaching Ltd, KG Sports Massage for talking to each other.

Sun 17-Mar-19 Greyhound H League TBA AFC Mannington H League They opened the season with a 2-0 away defeat at new side Holmer Green. Another heavy defeat followed in midweek the following Tuesday when they shipped four goals with reply at much fancied Reading City. Swindon Sunday League Next up was the Extra Preliminary Round of the FA Cup and a tie against last season’s bottom side from the Division One - Season 2018-19 Premier Division, now relegated to Division One, Burnham. Abingdon notched their first goals of the season in Pld W D L F A PTS a 2-2 draw, Lester Davies and Sam Wharton with the goals. They could not repeat the feat in the reply, going 1 Croft Junior (Sun) 6321211111 down 2-0. The return to league action saw two more goal-less matches. A 2-0 home defeat at the hands of 2 Greyhound FC 531125710 Virginia Water was quickly followed by a 4-0 home loss to title favourites Wantage Town. 3 FC Walcot 431015710 The FA Vase saw their first win of the season as they won 4-1 away at Wallingford Town. Lester Davies and 4 Royal Wootton Bassett Town Sunda 32101277 Sam Wharton were again on the score sheet, along with Jack Wright, the fourth goal coming courtesy of an own goal.

Back to league action and Fairford Town gained quick revenge for that earlier defeat with a 3-2 win at Abingdon, Thomas Butler and Ryan Jackson with the Abingdon goals. An early exit from the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup followed as they went down 4-0 to fellow Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division side Windsor. It was a better outcome the following week when Abingdon were again in cup action, this time in the Bluefin Insurance Challenge Cup. Goals from Sam Wharton (2), Thomas Butler and veteran Graham Edney saw Abingdon safely through to the next round, 4-2 the final score against Newent Town. A trip over the Severn Bridge to Lydney did not yield any points as Abingdon went down 3-0 but league form has certainly picked up since then. Two wins over Tuffley Rovers sandwiched by a 1-0 defeat at Alresford Town in the FA Vase indicate that Abingdon may be turning their season round. Nathan Baker, Callum Harvey and Jason Smith scored the goals in a 3-1 away league win at much improved Tuffley Rovers. When the two sides them met in the Bluefin Insurance Challenge Cup Abingdon went one better, running out 4-1 winners against the side who had knocked us out of the competition. Last week Abingdon pushed high flying Brimscombe & Thrupp all the way, in the end going down by the odd goal in three, Nathan Baker getting the Abingdon goal. Danger Man – Leading scorer Sam Wharton, who has six goals to his name, will be the dangerman for Abingdon here this afternoon.

The club folded for a period pre-World War 1 before re-forming in the Calne & District League when it began playing at the Gerard Buxton Goals from Steve Yeardley and TJ Bohane secured a return to winning ways for Royal Sports Ground which had been donated by a local dignitary for sporting activities within Wootton Bassett Town as they defeated Virginia Water 2-1. the town and opened in 1930.

Following a move up to the Wiltshire League Bassett Town recorded a narrow 2-1 victory against Virginia Water. Division 2 promotion was earned again the following season and the team then remained in the top division in the county until the outbreak of war. The forward rose highest to connect perfectly with Dale Richards' cross and deliver a After the war Wootton Bassett Town F.C. recommenced in the County League with limited success until header that was not going to be kept out. 1958-59 when they won their first Wiltshire League title.

The club have had three to fourth in the Hellenic League Premier Division table. spells in the Hellenic Premier and gained promotion back in 2012-13. The game itself was a tight, entertaining affair.

Lincoln passed inside for an onrushing Yeardley, and the experienced campaigner - now two games off 500 appearances for Bassett - produced a great finish for his second goal of the season, and 77th overall for the club. Virginia Water were level two minutes later though. McCready did well to keep out the initial effort following a dangerous corner, but the 'keeper could do little to prevent Adam McNamara firing home the rebound. With the game finely poised at half time, Bassett would make the decisive break early after the restart as Bohane reached nine goals for the season with his pin-point headed effort. There were chances to extend the lead too. Lincoln blazed over with an open goal at his mercy before Bohane came within inches of scoring a second header. Surviving a late scare when the visitors put over a free kick from the edge of the box, Bassett would secure the points - and set up a chance to finish their five game homestand with three wins should they triumph against struggling Abingdon United on Saturday. Man of the match: Charlie McCready – a series of great saves and unlucky with the Virginia Water goal, pulling off an excellent save from a header at a corner only for the ball to fall to the Virginia Water striker.

With both sides 2 - 1 1 - 0 1 - 3 1 - 3 0 - 0 2 - 1 1 - 1 12-Jan fully committed the opening exchanges were a bit scrappy but the first real piece of quality play of the 01-Dec 02-Mar 23-Mar 29-Dec afternoon brought the first goal after just eight minutes. Following a clever run and lay off from Aaron Maximen, Shane Hibbert curled the ball over the Cricklade keeper Eddie Salisbury from the edge of the box 2 - 0 1 - 2 3 - 2 1 - 2 1 - 2 Score for RWBTFC Score for 26-Jan 19-Jan 16-Feb 24-Nov 03-Nov 22-Dec 16-Mar 23-Feb 01-Dec 26-Jan and into the top corner of the net to put Wroughton in front. Hibbert had another good chance on sixteen 06-Nov 10-Nov 02-Feb minutes when the ball was delivered into the box and he headed powerfully towards goal, but it was straight Bassett Shriven'm at keeper Salisbury who saved easily. Cricklade’s best chance of the half came on twenty minutes when Royal W. Max Scholefield curled a free kick just over. Four minutes later Wroughton went close to extending their lead 2 - 0 3 - 2 4 - 3 6 - 1 5 - 1 1 - 1 5 - 23 - 3 4 - 1 23-Feb 12-Jan 15-Dec 02-Feb but the ball was cleared off the line to leave the score 1-0 at the break. Five minutes after the restart 10-Nov 30-Mar 16-Mar 29-Dec 05-Nov 23-Feb 13-Nov 23-Feb 26-Dec Wroughton were awarded a penalty and up stepped top scorer Hibbert looking to net his eighth of the City Reading season. However, his spot kick was well saved by Cricklade keeper Eddie Salisbury, but the ball rebounded 1 - 3 to Hibbert whose second attempt was then fired over the bar and Cricklade escaped going further behind. 3 - 0 2 - 5 1 - 5 23-Mar 09-Mar 02-Mar At the other end Cricklade’s own top scorer Devan Bryan went close to equalising on fifty-seven minutes as 20-Nov 12-Jan 01-Dec 09-Feb Town he lobbed Wroughton keeper Kurtis Sharkey only to see the ball go just wide of the post. Wroughton went Lydney straight up the other end and Eddie Salisbury once again denied Shane Hibbert from extending Wroughton’s TBA 17-Nov 4 - 1 2 - 3 3 - 2 3 - 1 0 - 1 6 - 1 2 - 1 26-Jan 16-Mar 03-Nov 29-Dec lead. However, Wroughton were not to be denied for long as Kyle Parker skilfully placed a shot from the 26-Dec edge of the box into the Cricklade net to make it 2-0 to the home side. Cricklade responded immediately to
going further behind when they attacked straight from the restart and top scorer Devan Bryan netted for the Most Frequent Winning sixteenth time this season. With time running out Cricklade pushed for that equaliser and ten minutes from 3 - 2 0 - 3 1 - 2 30-Mar 29-Dec16-Mar 05-Mar 01-Dec 02-Feb time Max Scholefield fired another free kick just over the Wroughton bar.

They caused Bassett a few problems early on, though Rees was only called 1922-23 Salisbury City 1923-24 Spencers upon once, coming off his line quickly to gather a loose ball. In fact, the opening 1924-25 Chippenham Town Second Round 1925-26 Trowbridge Town Bradford Town - Salisbury goal, a splendid one after 15 minutes was to come slightly against the run of play. 1926-27 Chippenham Town 1927-28 Swindon Corinthians Calne Town - Chippenham Town Hanrahan picked the ball up just inside his own half and turned to lay a fine pass 1928-29 Chippenham Town Devizes Town - Melksham Town 1929-30 Garrard Athletic over the Bemerton defence to Harrison, who had timed his run from midfield 1930-31 Chippenham Town Highworth Town - Swindon Supermarine 3 1931-32 Westbury United Laverstock & Ford Malmesbury Victoria perfectly, leaving him 15 yards clear. He ran on with the ball and calmly placed it 1932-33 Westbury United - Devizes Town 14 1933-34 Trowbridge Town Purton - Marlborough Town Swindon Town 9 to the right of the advancing keeper. The rest of the first half saw the game 1934-35 Swindon Corinthians Shrewton United - Westbury United Chippenham Town 9 switching from end to end with several goalmouth incidents, though neither side 1935-36 Swindon Corinthians Melksham Town 8 1936-37 Swindon Victoria Trowbridge Town - Cricklade Town 1937-38 Trowbridge Town Trowbridge Town 8 created any further clear-cut chances. 1938-39 Purton Purton 7 1945-46 Salisbury Corinthians Quarter Finals Highworth Town 6 1946-47 Swindon GWR Corinthians - Corsham Town 5 The second half saw no let up in the pace of the game and the physical but fair 1947-48 Westbury United Calne Town 4 1948-49 Purton - nature of it. Bemerton again perhaps had more of the play though Bassett always 1949-50 Devizes Town - Pinehurst 4 1950-51 Purton Swindon Victoria 4 looked dangerous on the counter. The second Bassett goal followed some good 1951-52 Westbury United - Westbury United 4 work from Vines, who's been having an excellent season in the heart of the 1952-53 Pinehurst YC Salisbury City 3 1953-54 Pinehurst YC Semi Finals Swindon Corinthians 3 1954-55 Purton midfield. Winning the ball with a solid tackle he played a fine pass inside the full 1955-56 Swindon Victoria - Warminster Town 3 back for Hanrahan, who took it on into the box before firing positively home. This 1956-57 Devizes Town - Amesbury 2 1957-58 Devizes Town Bemerton Heath Harl. 2 signalled the start of the best period of the game for Bassett and following a 1958-59 Devizes Town Downton FC 2 1959-60 Pinehurst Final Penhill 2 number of half chances a quickly taken short corner was crossed in only for an 1960-61 Devizes Town - 1961-62 Devizes Town Pewsey Vale 2 unmarked Frost to head the ball straight into the arms of the keeper. This proved 1962-63 Devizes Town Pinehurst YC 2 1963-64 Highworth Town Swindon Athletic 2 to be the turning point of the game. From the keeper's kick the ball found its way 1964-65 Pinehurst Swindon Town Res 2 1965-66 Devizes Town to Bemerton's nippy right winger who settled it under the advancing Rees. 1966-67 Pinehurst & 5 6 1967-68 Devizes Town 38th Brigade RFA 1 Rejuvenated and throwing caution to the wind with only ten minutes left, Bemerton 1968-69 Chippenham Town 3rd Wilts Regiment 1 1969-70 Melksham Town Avebury 1 now came forward in numbers. Rees saved Bassett twice, firstly turning a fierce 1970-71 Devizes Town Garrard Athletic 1 1971-72 Devizes Town drive over the bar, and then making a marvellous reaction save from the Bemerton 1972-73 Highworth Town Malmesbury Vics 1 1973-74 Devizes Town Salisbury Corinthians 1 centre forward. As happens so often in cup games, the equaliser, five minutes 1974-75 Chippenham Town Spencers 1 1975-76 Pinehurst Swindon Supermarine 1 from time, had a portion of luck in it. A fiercely hit shot was going straight at Rees 1976-77 Corsham Town Swindon GWR Corinthians 1 1977-78 Melksham Town when it hit Harrison and looped up and over the stranded keeper. Bassett tried to 1978-79 Devizes Town Swindon Wanderers 1 1979-80 Downton FC Wollen Sports 1 respond, York having a shot go just wide, but to no avail the game going into extra 1980-81 Downton FC 1981-82 Avebury time. The additional 30 minutes proved to be just as fiercely contested as the first 1982-83 Penhill 1983-84 Amesbury Town 90. Bassett created two good chances, Frost firstly shooting tamely at the keeper 1984-85 Calne Town when clear then York just going wide again, when a square ball to Hanrahan may have been the better option. Both sides also had what seemed justified penalty appeals turned down. The final effort to win the game came from Bemerton when a fierce shot cannoned off the Bassett crossbar. Although Bassett should never have let the two goal lead slip, full marks should go to Bemerton for battling back into the game , and the replay next week is eagerly awaited.
