Calne Town Crowned League Champions

The four games played this week in the Under 18 Floodlight Division of the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League last week included the match which saw Calne Town secure the league championship title for the first time. On Thursday night they entertained bottom side Trowbridge Town knowing that victory would see them crowned as champions for Season 2025-26. It was to prove a comfortable evening for the home side as they scored ten goals without reply to make sure of the title. Three players, Owen Jones, Jamie Heaton and Kieran Kennedy all scored twice and there were further goals from Alex Greenouff, Ruben Allaway and Freddie Treacy. Congratulations to Calne Town on their title success. The league winner’s trophy and individual medals for the players were presented to Calne following the game by League Chairman Brian Busson.

Bishops Cannings moved to within two points of second placed Swindon Supermarine with two wins in the week. On Monday night they finished their home fixtures at Green Lane with a 3-0 win over Amesbury Town thanks to goals from Nathan Balinksi, Jack Spanswick and Tom Sharples.

They followed this win up with another two days later, returning from Radstock Town with all three points following a 4-2 away win. Jack Spanswick was once again amongst the goals helping himself to a hat-trick to take his tally for the season to 27, Kory Wildman with the other Bishops Cannings goal.  The win for Bishops Cannings took them to 49 points and both they and Supermarine have one unplayed game, with both still to play Kintbury Rangers who are currently suspended pending the outcome of an FA investigation into events at their cup semi-final with Gillingham Town. Hopefully the league will hear something from the FA next week regarding the outcome of their investigations and whether any sanctions are to be applied. As to whether outstanding games, including the cup final, will get played remains uncertain.

Wims 11 were scheduled to play two games in the week but in the end only their away game at Melksham Town on Monday night went ahead. It was to be a winning night for Wims as two goals from Billy Wimble gave his side the points in a 2-0 win, taking his total for the season to 29 and continued leadership of the goal scoring chart. Their scheduled game against Westbury United on Thursday night did not go ahead due to the lateness of securing a pitch for the game, the second time this has happened with this particular fixture in the past month. Again as to whether this game gets played with exams having started in uncertain and it is up to the two clubs to come up with a solution.
