Having been sent some photo's from recent years of the team, I felt current boyfriends should be allowed to see what the girls used to look like

Camber Sands 2009

FCCY Girls returned to Camber Sands over the weekend 10th - 13th April 2009 to enjoy their annual weekend away tour. This year's tour organisation seemed much smoother and with the hire of a minibus; the team were able to travel together.

On arrival at Camber the girls unpacked, sorted out who was sleeping where and then went off to the beach for a warm-up game of Beach Football. This was followed later by evening meal & time to explore Camber.

Saturday morning saw some of the team having a lie-in whilst others played Football tennis as a warm-up. Saturday afternoon brought forward the first half of their matches; 5 being played in all. The girls won 2, drew 2 & lost 1 setting themselves up with a reasnable chance of grabbing 2nd place the next day in their remaining 3 matches. The girls returned to Camber, showered & then straight out to Hastings to watch '17 Again' with Zac Efron.

Unfortunately they were not at their best the next morning & could only manage 1 draw & 2 losses placing us 5th out of 9 overall. This was slightly disappointing, but did not put a dampener on the remaining weekend. That eveing came the presentation, where Lee Sharp ex of Man Utd presented the girls with their participation trophies. One of the girls even took the opportunity to grab a quick hug with Lee.

After the presentation we ventured int Rye for a chinese takeaway to round off the weekend. e next morning the girls visited Tonbridge Wells for a bit of shopping therapy & then the long journey home, which saw them all asleep for at least an hour. BLISS!!!

A few photo's attached for the parents to view

From the kick-off Chippenham Town were under the cosh with FC Chippenham piling on attack after attack never relenting. FCCY scored 4 goals in the first half and a further six notched up in the second half coming out victorious winners at 10 - 0.

FC Chippenham 7 - 0 Wootton Bassett

FC Chippenham returned to the New Year with an emphatic 7 - 0 win over Wootton Bassett. There were slight concerns prior to the match as FCCY's goalkeeper Jess was not available. This left an awkward moment in the dressing room when the manager asked for volunteers to go in goal. Laura was selected for the first half followed by Amie for the second half.

The match kicked off with Wootton Bassett choosing to play with the wind at their backs. FCCY were playing into the wind. FCCY immediately took control of the match by the scruff of the neck and started moving the ball around. Wootton Bassett as usual were strong in defence, but FCCY kept the pressure up with shot after shot after shot. The inevitable came & FCCY took the lead. This was closely followed by a 2nd & FCCY went into half time with a desreved 2 - 0 lead. Wootton Bassett had not caused FCCY any problems and Laura came out of goal having only picked the ball up 4 or 5 times.

The 2nd half kicked off and was much the same as the 1st with FCCY dominating the play again. Wootton Bassett did have a bit more of the ball in this half than the first, but still did not manage to penetrate into the FCCY 18 yard box and did not cause Amie in goal any trouble. FCCY wnet on to win the match 7 - 0 with goals from Gemma (2), Kathryn (1), Emily (1) and Lucy (1). There was also an own goal by one of the Wootton Bassett players.

This result now puts FCCY U/15 Girls at the top of their League with 18 points out of a possible 21. FCCY have scored 31 goals and conceded only 3. Next week takes us just up the road to Springfield School in Calne to play Derry Hill; last year's League winners, but this season have yet to win a game. Kick-off is planned for 10am.

Looking forward to seeing as many parents as possible at the match to support your daughters and the team.

Happy New Year To All

Happy New Year to all & welcome back


The training has started again this new year with the first training being held on Thursday 8th January 2009. This was a promising start with 13 out of the 14 players at training. Only one player adrift & she is out for the foreseeable future with an arm injury.

FC Chippenham are playing a friendly match against Highworth Juniors this Sunday at Highworth. Highworth are in the Gloucester Girls League & are doing extremly well. This will be a challenge especially as we have the bare 11 players and are without both our star strikers.

For those of you looking forward to the Tournament season, our 6-a-side tournament will be held at Stanley Park on Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th May 2009. Parents will be called upon to help out, so please put this date in your diary.

The season re-starts properly next weekend; 17th January 2009 with a home match against Wootton Bassett.

The Laserquest event for the girls went well just before Christmas. I have attached some photo's sent to me by one of the parents. Looks like some not very camera shy girls eh Naomi, Jasmine, Jess B & Hattie.



FCCY are always looking for new players. If you are a new player or have recently transferred into the area or are looking for a new team, then don't hesitate to contact one of the managers.

Clash of the Titans

On a windswept afternoon at Stanley Park on Saturday 4th October 2008, FC Chippenham Girls U/15's took to the field to face their arch-rivals; Chippenham Town. All the girls knowing each other as on any other day they are friends or school mates, but on this day FCCY had to show them who was Boss.
From the first minute FCCY were in control of the game and using the wind to their advantage pushing deep into Chippenham Town territory. The very first attack came away with a goal from Lucy and two more followed in quick succession from Gemma & Lucy again to make it 3 - 0 after only 8 minutes. FCCY had control over the game and were keeping Chippenham Town pinned in their own half.
The FCCY girls had their heads up & kept pouring on the pressure. Their were good strong performances all over the field from all players in particular Lucy , Tamsin , Katherine & Gemma . The wingers Laura & Liza ran their socks off and created several chances for the forwards. Liza came away with a goal in the first half and Gemma added two more to earn herself her hat-trick.
Jess had little to do in the first half in goal. The half-time whistle came & must have been a huge relief to Chippenham Town, who were now 6 - 0 down.
The 2nd half brought about a change for FCCY as Chippenham Town started to push out of their half a bit more with the aid of the wind. FCCY defence were strong to this & kept Chippenham Town to long range efforts which did not trouble Jess in goal.
Within 5 minutes from the kick-off Lucy added a 7th goal giving her, her hat-trick. Chippenham Town then held off FCCY for a lengthy period of time as neither team could break through. Their was good running and determination from Laura, Hattie & Liza on the wings. One particular run from Liza arising from a pass from Naomi lead Liza to score the goal of the match giving FCCY an 8 - 0 lead. This brace by Liza has meant that her embarrassing photo has now been removed from the website.
The final score being 8 - 0 to FC Chippenham with 2 excellent hat-tricks from Lucy & Gemma and a splendid brace from Liza. Player of the match and the bag of Haribo went to Lucy. Well Done FCCY.
