Park United are a new club formed at the start of the 2022-23 Season playing in Division 2 of the Trowbridge & District League. It was to be a successful first season with the side achieving a runners-up position.
Having done so well in the Trowbridge & District League, Park made the decision to move across to the expanding Division One of the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League. A successful first season saw Park United involved in a close title race with Faringdon Town and Purton. Going into the round of fixtures on May 4th there were just three points separating the sides and any of the three could still win the league. Park United led the way three-points ahead of Purton and Faringdon Town, with both Park and Purton playing their final games of the season on that Saturday. Park were away at Shrivenham Development, whilst Purton meanwhile had a tricky looking final game away to Devizes Town Reserves. Faringdon also had a tricky looking fixture away to Bratton and would then finish their season on the Bank Holiday Monday with a game against Kingsdown Development. If Park were to beat Shrivenham they would win the league if Faringdon did not take maximum points from their two games. If Faringdon were to win both of their games, then they would take the title as a result of their superior goal difference. For Purton to lift the title they needed to win and then hope either both Park and Faringdon lost their remaining games or Park lost and Faringdon took just three or less points from their two games and also fail to make up the three-goal differential in the two sides respective goal difference.
For Faringdon Town, the destiny of the title was in their own hands at the start of the afternoon. Win both their games and they would take the title, but they had that tricky away fixture at Wiltshire Junior Cup finalists Bratton. Faringdon did not get off to the best of starts, Bratton taking the lead in the very first minute of the match. However, Faringdon were back on level terms before the break. The opening exchanges of the second half saw neither side really create any chances of note but Faringdon were to go close again 15 minutes from time, smashing a shot against the crossbar from just six yards-out. Both teams went for the win and whilst chances were created at both ends there was to be no further scoring meaning two points dropped in Faringdon’s quest for the title.
Park United’s game at Shrivenham Dev was a 4PM kick-off as Shrivenham first team were also at home on that Saturday, having kicked-off at 1PM. Park kicked off knowing that Faringdon and Bratton were all square at half time and it was still as you were at the start of the afternoon. Park came straight out the blocks, taking the game to Shrivenham, knowing that nothing less than a win would do and an impressive first half showing saw them lead 3-0 at the break. With the news coming through that Faringdon had only drawn they knew they now needed to prevent a Shrivenham comeback. They shut up shop and then made sure of all three points with a fourth to seal a 4-0 victory which saw them crowned Division One champions for Season 2023-24 with promotion also to the Premier Division for Season 2024-25.
