Interesting First Summer For Heytesbury & Codford FC

Wednesday 9th August 2023

Martyn Spratt writes:

It’s been an interesting first summer for Heytesbury & Codford Football Club. With many players from last season’s quadruple winning Heytesbury side looking to play at a higher level it meant players from Heytesbury Reserves stepping up and new players coming in to join with the remaining Heytesbury First Team players to form Heytesbury & Codford FC. Managers Harry Hamlin and Sam Spratt were joined by Jon Horwood to assist with coaching and training.

The first game of the summer was a charity match against Sands United. With players old and new and some guests it was a good day raising money for a very worthwhile cause and making new friends.

An interclub match followed with the old Heytesbury first team against the reserves. It was good to see some of the youngsters who will become the new Heytesbury & Codford Under 18’s play a big part in the match.

The next opponents were Frome Collegians reserves who are joining us in the Trowbridge & District league moving from the Somerset leagues. The game finished even which seemed a fair result.

Calne Town reserves from the Wiltshire league visited Codford and went away with a win. They were a very good young side and a few more departures followed, and the rebuilding began. It was decided that we could not continue with the reserves after they visited Semington Magpies. They played well but it had become obvious that with the lack of players and the imminent loss of the Heytesbury pitch that they could not continue. The decision was made to fold the reserves.

Heytesbury have always had a good relationship with Dilton Marsh Wanderers and many players have played for both clubs. Dilton’s first ever game was a friendly at Heytesbury Park and it was therefore fitting that they were the opponents in the last ever game to be played there. As always it was a competitive but good-humoured game.

Durrington are a new team entering the Salisbury Sunday League this season, and a game was arranged after the Sands match earlier in the summer. A mixture of young and older players with some “Dads and Lads” it was a good workout for both teams. We wish them well in their first season.

The final friendly of the summer saw Peasdown Reserves visit Codford. With players missing due to holiday and work it was a chance for others to shine. The Chairman Tom O’Brien got in on the act showing he has not lost his skills playing the last 15 minutes of the match.

The management have worked very hard over the summer to build a good squad of players. A mixture of experience and youth we are looking forward to the first game on 12th August 2023 at Bromham

Heytesbury & Codford FC and Heytesbury & Codford Under 18’s will play their home games at Broadleaze Field, Codford.
