During the final death throes of the previous club it became apparent, following several well Are your skills on top form? attended supporters’ meetings, that the will was there to continue to host a senior football club in Windsor for the community to embrace and, therefore, on February 4th ComputerWorld offer Training in: 2011 WFC Football Community Development Ltd was registered with Companies House with the aim of achieving that objective. Founding Director Kevin Stott and a newly-appoint- ed management committee then set about the long and sometimes arduous task of turning that dream into x Applications a reality. x Technical Our founding season turned out to be a very exciting one, eventually finishing as runners-up to worthy x Professional Development Champions Guildford City in the league and we also made it to the semi-finals of the Berks & Bucks Senior Trophy so it was close but no silverware to show for it, although that is not entirely true as Ryan O’Toole x SharePoint won the Golden Boot as top scorer in the Premier Division and Hayden Wheelers’ efforts in editing our programme led to it being voted best programme in the Premier Division. x E-Learning Several weeks into season 2012/2013 a major decision to operate without a budget was taken to free up We can also provide Bespoke Training and even Room Hire at our funds for the regeneration plans at the ground and the management team and all but three of the playing premises in Bristol! squad left immediately. Mick Woodham was appointed as our new manager and had two days to get together a squad before our next league game. Despite some heavy defeats early in his tenure as he built Check out our website at www.computerworld.co.uk a squad of local youngsters the club never lost faith and Mick eventually put together a squad that was to See if there is a Define Tomorrow event near you at finish a very creditable 6th in the league as well as another appearance in the semi-finals of the county www.definetomorrow.co.uk Senior Trophy competition whilst our Under 18’s side made it all the way to the CCL’s Grant McLellan Youth Cup Final eventually losing to a very strong Camberley Town side. Recognition from the league away from football itself was achieved with a runners-up award for the programme in the Premier Division and FA Groundsman of the Year award for the CCL and this was added to in August 2013 when our groundsman Lewis Clements won the FA Groundsman of the Year Award for the whole of Step 5 and 6 football nationally, something both he and the club are justifiably proud of whilst also giving some extra publicity to the CCL. This building process continued for season 2013/2014 as players were added to the squad with the emphasis on young local players interspersed with some older experienced heads but whatever happened results wise we continue to enjoy visiting the many friends we made in our first two seasons in the Combined Counties League and hope they all enjoy their visits to Stag Meadow. A sixth place was recorded in the Combined Counties League, with early exits in the FA Cup and the FA Vase. The highlight of the season was a 3-0 win over Reading Town in the Berks & Bucks Senior Trophy. In 2014-2015 we again finished a creditable 5th in the Combined Counties League but again suffered early exits in both the FA Cup and FA Vase. Success did come again in the Berks & Bucks Senior Trophy when we retained the title with a 3-2 extra time win over neighbours Flackwell Heath. In 2015-2016 we had a number of changes on the player front and ended up halfway in 12th place in the Combined Counties League. The FA Cup saw us go out at the first time of asking while in the FA Vase we went through 3 rounds before losing to our league champions Hartley Wintney in Round Two. Our defence of the Berks & Bucks Senior Trophy ended on a very cold icy night when we lost to Newport Pagnell Town in the Quarter Final. In 2016-2017 we played in the Cherry Red Records Combined Counties League Premier Division and had two under 18 teams in the Allied Counties Youth League plus many sides competing in local youth leagues for Windsor FC Youth. A middle of the table finish was achieved with a very young side while our joint under 18s were runners up in the Grant McLellan Cup Final. ComputerWorld are proud sponsors of In 2017-2018 we enter a new era as the FA have decided we move us laterally into the Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division and our youth set up changes with one team playing at U18 level in the Allied Wootton Bassett Town Football Club Counties Youth League and one team playing at U19 level in the National League U19 Alliance.

Eagle eyed readers will note that Oxford City Nomads are no longer mentioned in my suggestion. Oxford clearly said something to the league as their unfair 450 miles of midweek travel has now been reduced by 288 mainly due to the loss of midweek trips to Lydney and Bassett. Unfortunately, ourselves, Wantage and Abingdon United (typo in last programme mentioned Town) are still over the 400 mile barrier. Our position could have been solved at a stroke by making next week’s game against Windsor an away game rather than a home fixture but this was not spotted by the league. As previously stated not sure what Abingdon have done to deserve 7 away trips in midweek when the likes of Binfield and Bracknell have just 2.

Lydney Recreation Ground, 15th August 2017 It was fast. It was furious. And come full time, Royal Wootton Bassett Town had earned the point that their performance merited as they held Lydney Town to a 1-1 draw courtesy of substitute Nathan Gambling's assured second half finish. Lydney's Severnside Gloucestershire outpost has hardly been a happy hunting ground in recent years, but on this occasion a hungry, workmanlike display ensured the lengthy journey home would not be made empty-handed. A classic dose of midweek football was on offer in a contest that offered much to the neutral. Bassett were on top in the opening half hour, coming close to taking the lead when Sam Packer struck a post following a great cross from Matt Jones. However, for the final fifteen minutes until half time momentum swung in favour of the home side. And Lydney converted that level of pressure into a lead early in the second half. Matt Cheetham was beaten down the line and a low cross was diverted into his own net beyond 'keeper Matt Bulman by Aaron Stevens. Bassett were desperate to get back into the game, but it appeared as though they'd come up just short. David Coleman struck narrowly over when through one-on-one while another fine ball into the box from Jones flashed across the face of goal with nobody there to steer it in. Gambling was then summoned from the bench as the visitors went with three up top. However, still they found no way through, Coleman being denied. Finally with ten minutes to go, the breakthrough came. Steve Yeardley played a ball down the line, which Packer latched onto. He then cut a pass back into the box which Gambling - ever the assured finisher - put away. Buildbase F.A.

Perpetuapress Floodlit Cup Life’s A Pitch No More, Ciren by Matt Badcock (from last Sunday’s paper) Cirencester Town are making a fresh start in Step 4 this season. Boss Charlie Griffin has drawn a line under their relegation from Step 3 and is ready for his first full season as a manager in the Evo-Stik West. Things look a bit different at their Corinium Stadium too as they become the latest in an ever- growing list of Non-League football clubs to look for the benefits on laying down an artificial surface. But this is no ordinary 3G pitch. It has the latest artificial grass yarn technology and is considered to have similar characteristics to natural grass pitches. Artificial grass manufacturers TigerTurf who also sponsor a Ciren stand, have helped the southwest club upgrade to a Premier Pro 60 pitch – the first of its kind in the UK. One of the big differences? No more black rubber crumb – this one has green! “It’s second to none, Griffin says. “It’s a really good surface and it looks magnificent.” Namesake Scott Griffin had a legendary playing career at the club and is now secretary. He wishes he could get the boots back on. “I’d have loved playing on it,” he says. “I played a vets game on 3G and quite liked it but this is a totally different level. I’ve never seen one like it, it’s pretty special. “Just watched the lads training on it for the first time on Tuesday night you could see they’re taking one touch and pass, it’s so sharp and quick. There will be some good football played on it, that’s for sure.” That will be music to the ears of Ciren fans after a difficult season. Former Chippenham, Salisbury, Forest Green and Newport county striker Charlie Griffin, a Conference champion with Stevenage in 2010, has been doing his homework on their new surface. “I know quite a few players and I was up at a meeting at Sutton United earlier in the year,” he says. “I got to have a look around and speak to people about the pitch, how they went about it, how they got used to it. “I spoke to Gavin Williams, the Merthyr manager quite a bit last season about their pitch too. So a lot has gone into it. I haven’t just thought, “Oh it’s ok, it’s just a 3G pitch”. “I’ve done my homework and brought in players who are going to be able to play on it and, away from home, bring experience of this level. That’s vital to have”. So is local knowledge. Griffin has been putting in the hours by getting out to watch games and keep his finger on the pulse ever since he took over last September with the club already nailed on for the drop. “No matter what standard you are, you need to know what’s going on,” he says. If you want to be successful you have to. “As a player I always used to know what I was coming up against. I knew about the keeper, the back four, whether there would be a holding midfielder – I always looked out for the opposition’s team the week before and things like that. If you’re taking penalties, whether the keeper dived this way or that. “You need to do your homework whether you’re a player, manager, coach or an assistant – and I’ve got a great management team. It’s nice to know what’s out there, who’s playing and what formations teams have got. “Sometimes you’ve got to travel to watch games but that’s part and parcel of Non-League football. “The players will see that too. You have to lead by example and be the man that’s out there leading your team. It’s non-stop but I enjoy it. I’ve been in football a long time but I’ve just started managing. Cirencester is a great club to be at.” Griffin, 38, hopes that the community impact seen at other clubs with 3G pitches will contribute to the return of a feel good factor to a team that won this division in 2013-14. “Last year was tough because of the losses we had,” he says. “We didn’t have many great victories but having the new pitch is an advantage. I’ve told the lads not to underestimate the teams we’re going to come up against. “You’ve got to turn up and work hard. I emphasise that. We’ve got to be a team together. We’ve got a squad so we might go for a team when we’re away that’s different from at home. But we won’t go into any game unprepared. We want that feel-good factor back of winning games at Cirencester. “There’s great people here. We don’t have a massive fan base, but when they come out they’re really good. Steve Abbley, who has been here 25 years – the pitch coming along now is testament to what he does. He loves football, he loves coming down and watching us on his Saturday. Hopefully we can all enjoy it this season. Half Time X Word Answers From The Press Offi ce Ferdinand was then able to get to the byline and flash a low cross across the face of goal, which World Cup Sayings Dingbats was just out of Cornell's reach. The danger wasn't averted, and from the resulting corner George Phrases and sayings you may hear during the World Cup. Short saw a header blocked on the line before Bulman's reactions were tested after a deflection off Cheetham almost took the ball in. On the hour, Ferdinand was able to drive forward and a one-two with Bowerman set him free, but Bulman was quick off his line to smother at the ex-Binfield frontman's feet. The hosts re-grouped though and took the lead from the game's next chance of note. It was a well worked opener too. Coleman brilliantly held up play and clipped a pass into the left corner for Mason Thompson, who set to Packer in support. Bassett's playmaker steered a fine cross to 1 Lower Expectations 2 Head to Head 3 Midfield the far post, where Lodge was on hand to head beyond Grace. Within minutes, they had a fantastic opportunity to double their lead as Packer was played in down the right with Lodge making an overlapping run. However, rather than bear down on goal and take advantage of a two-on-two situation, Bassett sought to work the ball back into midfield. Kai Robinson's attempted pass to left back Richards was seized upon by Cornell, who played a quick pass in behind the Bassett defence, which Bowerman raced onto and guided over the onrushing Bulman. 4 Bad Injury 5 No player is bigger than the team 6 Score goals Bulman then denied Ferdinand, batting away a strike from 15 yards before Bassett saw a chance to retake the lead go begging. Lodge brushed aside the attention of left back John Gray and cut the ball back to Packer, whose sweeping shot crashed off the right post. Soon Bracknell punished Bassett for passing up a third gilt-edged opportunity. With seven minutes remaining, Dan Roberts' corner picked out an unmarked Gater, and the 7 Mixed Emotions 8 Half Time 9 The Biggest Threat centre half sent a controlled side-foot volley into the roof of the net. The points were then quickly sealed when Ferdinand's clever run across the defence allowed him to latch onto Bowerman's threaded pass and slot into the bottom corner. Football can be a cruel game at times, and, on this occasion, it was Bracknell discovering their ruthlessness late on that sealed Bassett's undeserved fate.

From The Press Offi ce Robins late show sees off valiant Bassett Despite giving their much fancied opponents a run for their money, two late goals saw Royal Wootton Bassett Town fall to a 3-1 defeat against title favourites Bracknell Town.. Gerard Buxton Ground, 12th August 2017 Having recorded two crushing 6-0 victories against Royal Wootton Bassett Town last season, Bracknell Town were perhaps shocked to be given such a test by Bassett in their opening encounter this year. For the best part of 70 minute Rich Hunter's team were the Robins' equals, and were perhaps unfortunate not to have been in front, having had the better of the game's chances. Yet, a late two goal salvo from Joe Gater and Liam Ferdinand ended any hopes Bassett had of claiming a second successive point to begin the season, with their goals clinching a slightly flattering 3-1 triumph for the visitors. Prior to kick off, Bassett – whose side was much changed from last week's FA Cup loss – would have been forgiven for not expecting to take anything from the contest given Bracknell's status as one of the favourites for this year's Hellenic League Premier Division title. But after frustrating their guests with a mature, disciplined display in the opening period, Bassett's chances of salvaging something – be it a draw, or even victory – looked rather decent. Confidence then picked up significantly after Ben Lodge headed home from Sam Packer's delightful cross midway through the second half. Bracknell were handed an equaliser within two minutes though, punishing Bassett for being too cute when deep inside their opponents' territory, and they built on that to eventually grab the goals that took them to their win. As with last week's defeat, there was therefore a sense of frustration in the Bassett camp come full time. However, rather than lamenting a sub-standard performance, they were left to rue coming away empty-handed after one of their better displays. From the off, Bassett played a clever game. Understanding the offensive threat Bracknell posed, Hunter opted for a 4-5-1 formation with the powerful David Coleman the lone man up front. Allowing Bracknell to play as much as they wanted along their backline, the hosts sat deep and preserved their shape, a tactic which cut off the visitors' midfield. That left them to play hopeful long balls forward, which found little traction against an assured Bassett backline marshalled by Matt Cheetham and Jonny Aitkenhead, who was playing through a knee injury. On 2nd September 2017, a host of stars from the football, music and entertainment world will come Bowerman, one of the division's leading talents, did have a sight on goal early on, but he struck together for a 90 minute football match at Loftus Road for the benefit of those affected by the a curling effort straight into the hands of debutant 'keeper Matt Bulman.

The opening day draw with Havant & Waterlooville was followed by a brilliant 5-2 midweek away success against near neighbours Bath City in the “A4 derby”. Matt Smith opened the scoring on five minutes when he tapped home from close in after the Bath defence failed to deal with an Andy Sandell throw. After Bath equalised, Dave Pratt put Chippenham back in front before Any Sandell extended the lead from the penalty spot. Further goals from Sandell and Will Richards completed the 5-2 score line in front of a massive 1,256 crowd. Unfortunately, Chippenham have then gone onto lose their next two games. A 2-0 defeat at Braintree Town was followed by a narrow 1-0 reverse against Poole Town. Chippenham are home to East Thurrock United this afternoon. Swindon Supermarine have started the season with two draws. Opening day trip to Cinderford saw former Lydney striker Declan Morley-Lyne put Cinderford in front. A Ryan Morgan equaliser three minutes into the second half gave Supermarine a share of the points, Morgan finding the back of the net following Lee Marshall’s free- kick. At home to North Leigh in midweek, having grabbed a 26th-minute lead courtesy of Josh Parson’s fine finish from TJ Bohane’s through ball, Supermarine failed to kick on from their 1-0 half-time lead as North Leigh grabbed a sloppy equaliser. Another 1-1 draw and the Swindon side will be looking to get that first win this coming Saturday when they are home to Northwood in the FA Cup. Pre-season promotion favourites Salisbury kicked off the season in style with a 5-0 away win at Mangotsfield United. Claudio Herbert bagged a brace and there were also goals for Mark Francis, Kane O’Keefe and Eddie Perrett. In midweek Salisbury were home to Paulton Rovers and things didn’t quite go to plan as they were held by the visitors, Kane O’Keefe was again on the score sheet for Salisbury, Thomas Whelan with the second. Today sees Salisbury entertain Fareham Town in the Preliminary Round of the FA Cup. Step 5 and current Hellenic League leaders Highworth Town are also in FA Cup action this weekend when they entertain Marlow on Sunday. Highworth currently sit top of the league with a 100% record from their opening three fixtures and have shown that they certainly mean business this season and are serious contenders for promotion. As well as the 100% record they are averaging close to five goals a game. The other Wiltshire side at Step 5 left in the FA Cup this weekend, Laverstock & Ford, are home to Woking based side Knaphill on Saturday. With Chippenham and Swindon Town yet to come into the competition how many of the four Wiltshire sides competing this weekend will make it through to the First Qualifying Round, will let you all know next week.
