District League back under way
The 2007/08 season kicked off with a number of new sides and some old
faces with new names.
Last season's Premier champions have evolved into two distinct sides,
Queensfield United and Penhill RBL, whilst still retaining a core in
each, while Catalus are the new name for Zurich.
There are new names for Southbrook and Messenger - VBA Rangers and
North Swindon WMC respectively.
In Division One, PssHilo changed to Bulldog and Ballcrest Services Ltd
has replaced Goan Swindon. New sides are Aldbourne, Penhill RBL South
Swindon and Grange Park.
Each division has nine sides, the Premier with the top four from last
season's Division One being promoted, has the potential for being the
most evenlycontested league for some years.
The clash of last season's cup champions Fratellos and Rodbourne Arms
saw a frenetic game end in a stalemate with both sides giving their
all but with no end product.
Arms manager Daniel Williams said: "We lacked a cutting edge. We had
enough chances to bury them."
North Swindon entertained newly promoted Spectrum, with the away side
triumphing 3-1, this after the game had been delayed in the second
half because of a North Swindon player breaking his ankle.
This was after the home side had used all their subs, and had to
continue the remaining 35 minutes with 10 men.
Bakers Arms, despite goals from Francis Cullen and Kev Taylor at
Catalus lost an entertaining encounter 3-2.
Game of the day was the 2-2 tussle at Penhill between last season's
champions Queensfield and a rejuvenated Shield and Dagger.
The game was end to end with both sides creating numerous scoring
opportunities. Queenie's scorers were Calvin Young and Littlechild
with a Nolan Paul double doing the job for the Dagger.
A new name brought a change in fortunes for Ballcrest who as Goan
Swindon last season never won a game. This season they got off to a
flyer with a 2-1 win against Aldbourne with a double from Welland.
Last season's premier league whipping boys Lower Stratton continue to
struggle, losing 5-0 against Penhill.
A scrappy affair between Trailers and South Swindon saw the home side
eventually lose 2-1. South Swindon goals were scored by Dion Titcombe
and Paul Newman, with Hollambay replying.
