Programme Printing & Sponsor Front Cover Photo:Shaun Terry Wootton Bassett Town FC EDITORIAL would like to thank our kit Good afternoon, Happy New Year and welcome back at long last to Rylands Way for this sponsors for this season: Uhlsport Hellenic Premier League fixture against Thame United. Hopefully the cold and then wet weather that has gripped the country will have subsided allowing this fixture to go ahead. We wish a warm welcome to the players, officials and supporters from Thame who have made the Senior Section journey for this fixture and wish them a safe journey home back to Oxfordshire. Thame are a club First Team – TBA that have played at a much higher level in the Pyramid but, like Bracknell, have fallen on hard times. However, with a brand new stadium most pundits will be expecting them to match their off First Team Tracksuits & T-shirts – C.S. Building Services field hard work with promotions back up the football pyramid in the not too distant future. A and Macmillan Cancer Support tough fixture on our return to Rylands Way is certainly on the cards today. Reserves – Ganges Indian Cuisine Todays fixture is the first home fixture for the First Team since November 2nd and follows five consecutive away games. Dave may have to introduce the home players to the crowd as it is so Under 18 Floodlit – Quickmovenow.com long since the First Team played here in anger. The good news (or not so good news depending Ladies – Aftech Sheet metal & fabrications and on how you look at it) we now have six home games in the next month! Regarding all the postponements over the last month or so, I cannot recall games being called off in November bristol batteries before for snow and frozen pitches, waterlogged pitches yes but frozen grounds at that time of the year is not a regular occurrence. Hopefully January and February will be kinder than usual else we are really going to struggle to complete the fixture list. Prior to today we have played 18 out of 42 fixtures. When I was Fixture Secretary of the North Wilts League my rule of thumb was YOUTH SECTION that clubs should look to have played half their league games by Christmas and we were 3 short Under 18 – Aftech Limited of that target and in a division of some 22 teams. Under 16 Girls - SciMAT Ltd That game way back on 2nd November saw Wootton Bassett lose 5-2 at home against a Under 16 - K & M Developments, C.S. Building Services, rejuvenated Oxford City Nomads. We followed this with a narrow 2-1 away win at Shrivenham courtesy of a late Sam Collier strike. There is a report from Scoop on this match in tonights A.T. Kitchin Homes programme. Another good performance followed away at title chasing Slimbridge where we held Under 15 - GSL UK Limited out until four minutes from time. After two good showings I know Dave was then very disappointed by the draw against bottom side Fairford and, despite not securing any points, was Under 14 Girls - TBA encouraged by the better showing midweek away at Old Woodstock Town. The Fairford game just showed that you have to be at your best for each and every game in this league, with anyone Under 14A – The Barber Shop, capable of beating anyone on their day. We then went 40 days before playing again, the New PAS Construction, CCTV Nationwide, Year Bank Holiday fixture away at Highworth on 3rd January being our first game since 24th November. We were understandably rusty on our return to action going down 5-1 in a Surehome Construction, Wason & Webb disappointing performance against a side we beat here at Rylands earlier in the season. Manager Under 14B – TBA Dave Turner comments on the Highworth game in his From The Dugout column. Under 12 – C.S. Building Services Looking at what else is in tonights programme, the From the Archives feature this week goes back to 1996-97 and a frustrating season in the Hellenic League Division One under Kevin Under 11 – Total Value Consultancy, I.C.C. Car & Maloney. Unfortunately we do not have a Player Profile this week as I do not have any more Commercial Vehicle Body Repairs, unused profiles. If any player has not been featured in the programme yet it would be appreciated if they could email either myself or the website editor answers to the standard questions (email Babcock Homesafe everyday addresses are on the inside front cover). The Moonraker feature again includes recent articles Under 10A - Quattro Group, High Motive from the Gazette & Heralds excellent coverage of Wiltshire football. There is the usual updated league table of the Clubs own Fantasy Football League which sees Bryan Wood still leading the Under 10B - WGS Power & Lighting Ltd, High Motive way. The Youth Section page includes a round-up from young Luke Walduck from games Under 9 - S.D.C. South Marston played last Sunday. There is also a New Year Mr Men competition with a case of Peroni to the winner. All you need to do is match the Mr Men character to the Wootton Bassett Town player, Under 8 - TBA manager, committee member, league official or ex-players, managers and committee members. Training Equipment – Don Rogers Sports The entry which most closely matches mine wins the case of beer (please note competition is only open to over 18s). First Team Training Kit Sponsor – Milfed Finally the next First Team home game is next Saturday when Carterton are the visitors to Programme Printing & Sponsor – Cats Solutions Rylands Way. Enjoy the game and cheer the lads on to three more points. Best Wishes. And all our First Team player sponors and Mark all our groundside board sponsors World of Soccer THIS WEEK FEATURING........... Former Chairman Mark Smedley Whilst results have not being going our way of late it could be worse for Coach Turner, he could be manager of Cornish side Madron. Madron play in the top division of the Mining League which feeds into the Cornwall Combination. Madron were promoted to the top division of the Mining Football League last season but lost a number of first-team players and have been forced to assemble a brand new, and evidently struggling, squad. The Penzance based team arrived for a game in mid-November against Illogan Reserves with just seven players and Illogan seized on their numerical advantage by racing into a 24-0 half time lead. It was to get worse for Madron in the second half as they conceded another 31 goals to go own 55-0. The result of the match made the national dailies as it eclipsed the previous British record set in 1885 by Arbroath who thumped Bon Accord 36-0. However, it was still someway short of the world record which belongs to Madagascan side AS Adema, who watched on as Stade Olympique players repeatedly knocked in own goals in protest at a refereeing decision in their match in 2002.
