CLOSE WINDOW
Fourth team news

The fourths finished mid-table in their first ever season.
The team were superbly led by Paul Taylor who captained the team in exactly the right way ensuring that everyone was involved in every game. The team were an excellent mixture of seniors and juniors with Paul, Phil Knight and Neil Fleming providing the experience and backbone to the side.

Results were almost incidental, but the team had a very respectable season, winning seven games, losing seven and finishing seventh in Wiltshire League Division 8.
