Corsham Print
Wiltshire Senior League
Season Start Dates and Constitution Updates
Following the announcement last weekend about the re-start of Grassroots football, the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League  are now aiming for a start date of 5th September for the Premer Division.  Having lost a number of Saturdays and the normal midweek dates at the start of the season, the league is proposing to schedule a number of fixtures in midweek at those clubs with floodlights in order to compensate for the lost dates and give the league a better chance of completing the season by the proposed end date. The proposal is also to concentrate on league fixtures and if fixtures progress well and, if we have a reasonably mild winter, we will look to play the Fountain Trophies Senior KO Cup in March / April.  The early season fixtures will be issued in due course.

The Under 18 Division will start week commencing 14th September.

It is disappointing to report that since the AGM the league has lost a couple of teams ahead of the 20-21 Season, one from the Premier Division and one from the Under 18 Division.

Leaving the Premier Division after three successful seasons are Kintbury Rangers (pictured below). Kintbury notified the league last weekend that the decision had been made directly as a result of losing almost all of their first team players to other clubs, with most joining a newly formed team near to Kintbury and therefore the clubs' management believed they could not produce a team that could compete at the level required in the Wiltshire Senior League. We hope Kintbury can re-group in lower level leagues and that one day they will return to the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League. The Premier Division will now run with 16 teams.
The Under 18 Division has also lost a team with South Wiltshire side Downton withdrawing ahead of the new season. Again we hope to see Downton back in the Under 18 Division in future seasons. The Under 18 Division will now run with 9 teams.

A start date for the Veteran's Divisions, along with the final constitution, will be notified in due course.
