Results 20th sep
Another bad day for results.
The 1sts lost 2-3 at home v Warminster Town Res (yes, the team we beat 8-0 away 2 weeks before!). The away side were back to full strength and we had a few missing, but it really wasnt a good day at all.
Si Manifold got caught in possession (with no passing options) and this was then compounded by poor marking from the eventual cross to make it 0-1. This was quickly followed by a handling error by Webby in goal, and the player standing a yard off the line behind him (YES HE WAS OFFSIDE) made it 0-2.
After 30 minutes, we decided to play a bit and Church came close to pulling 1 back before a superb direct free-kick from Fraser Shaw-Morris reduced the deficit. This was his first for the club in his last game for a while, as he is back to University now. This was soon followed by a shove on Joner, which allowed Foz to score from the spot. 2-2 at half time.
The 2nd half started with FCCY on top but unable to score and the game becoming increasingly farcical due to the antics of the referee, which left both benches looking at each other and scratching our heads in amazement. After another shocking decision Pikey was sent off (despite him being fouled - as admitted by the Warminster player) and then with 10 minutes left a Warminster player handled in our box and they got a penalty. Yes, I dont understand that either! Anyway, that was it 2-3.
A decent game ruined by the man your not supposed to notice - 3 yellows per team and 1 red, despite there not being a single bad foul or problem. So our record of 1 yellow in 6 matches is blown to bits. Thanks.
The 2nds lost 0-3 at Chiseldon. After a bright opening 30 minutes, poor marking at a corner allowed them to take the lead. Sam Legg-Bagg, Mick Austin and Mark Nolan all had chances to level things but failed. In the 2nd half a lapse of concentration allowed the 2nd goal. This was followed by further chances being missed by Mick and Mark, and then a late 3rd goal. Even then , Mark had a great shot saved. Overall the team played well and things will get better!
The 3rds had the misfortune of a division one side in a cup game for the 2nd week running. Yet again a side of youngsters and a few old men battled hard and showed great attitude, commitment and discipline. The final score of 0-9 was a tad harsh, and didnt look likely until late on, when a few of the players ran out of steam. The team were praised (same as last week) by the Referee for their attitude and behaviour - well done guys.

Results - 13th sep
The 1sts lost 1-3 at home to Westbury United Res. Despite playing the vast majority of the football, the visitors long ball tactics caused far too many problems for the managements liking. After being 2 down, Church scored with 10 minutes left and FCCY pummelled the visitors and on 5 occasions just missed out on a finishing touch to equalise. Then to rub salt in an 80 yard "pass" resulted in the visitors 3rd with the last kick of the game.
The 2nds lost 0-2 at KMLC, in a tight game that could have gone the other way with better finishing.
The 3rds played their first game of the season away at Division 1 The Deverills in the A&B Cup. Very little was expected of them, and they performed creditably eventually losing 0-6. The following report on the league website was penned by the opposition:
"THE Deverills were also in the mood for goals and notched up six without reply against a young FC Chippenham side, whose excellent sportsmanship was a credit to them and to the new FA Respect programme which all clubs have been asked to consider.
Nick Bunyard scored a hat-trick for the home side and despite a splendid performance by the visiting goalkeeper further goals followed in the second half from Lee Carpenter (2) and Mike Payne."
So well done lads, especially Tristan Miller (the visiting goalkeeper!) as you obviously made a positive impression. Thanks to Rich Callaway for running the side in the absence of Jay Epton who is recovering from his Cruciate Ligament reconstruction.

1sts win in League Senior Cup
The 1sts went to Warminster Town last saturday, and played their reserves in the Corsham Print Senior Cup.
Warminster had a weakened side due to call ups to their first team but on a soft and increasingly muddy pitch with frequent heavy showers, they battled hard. However, the sheer class of our passing and movement, kept creating chances. At half-time however, it was only 1-0 with the goal coming from Aaron Merryweather.
The Gaffer pointed out that despite being well on top, we hadnt finished the job and would need to maintain the quality of our play. This is exactly what happened. After 3 minutes of constant pressure, Luke Holborough scored, then within a minute he got another and 2 minutes later Aaron got his second. From this point on, it was one way traffic, with the home side unable to get the ball for any length of time, or add to their 1 first half shot at goal. As the Gaffer prepared to make changes, Aaron got his hat-trick and was replaced by club record scorer, Andy Churcher. Church promptly added 2 more goals to make it 7-0.
At this point, 1 or 2 of the home side were starting to let their frustrations show and the number 11 was cautioned for dissent. This was quickly followed by getting away with just a talking to after a very poor challenge, and then further dissent which produced a straight red. We are led to believe that the Referee's parents were indeed married!!!
So, with a minute left against 10, Nath Pritchard decided to waltz around 4 players before calmly slotting the 8th goal. This rounded off a much improved team performance. This level of performance will be required in the coming weeks though and against some stronger opposition.

2nd team new manager
Alan Partner has taken over the 2nd team, with Mick Austin becoming assistant. This is a good move for the club, as Mick can concentrate more on playing, knowing that Al is on the touchline! Alan is a former professional player and a welcome addition to the management and coaching staff at FCCY.
Results
The 1sts played at Trowbridge Town and lost 0-3 in a poor performance. This was followed by a shocking first half v Shrewton Utd last saturday, that saw us 3 down. The 2nd half was an improvement and the score remained 0-3.
The 2nds went to high flying Ramsbury, and lost 3-6. However, it was a much closer game than the score may suggest with FCCY holding the lead on 2 occasions. Goals from Ben Pantry(direct from a corner) and first goals for the club from Damon Barnes and Tommy O'Cain. Well done to them!
