Points Build - 28th November

Division One West Cirencester will be hoping to build on last week's surprise point when they visit second placed Letcombe.

They nearly pulled off a shock in their previous meeting with the Brooksiders last month but eventually slipped to a 3-2 defeat.

Letcombe, who finished third in the table last season, collected their sixth successive league win with a 2-1 victory at Tytherington Rocks last week. They are the top scorers in One West with 45 goals in 13 games and star striker Richard Claydon has 22 of those, including eight in his last six.

Ciren, who are without a win in 10, are hoping to move off bottom spot and improve on last season's finish in the basement.
Ciren's Woe - 21st November

One win in 11 games has left Cirencester United rooted to the bottom of FTL Futbol Hellenic Divison One West ahead of their home match with mid-table Clanfield tomorrow.

They have now lost their seven on the trot, conceding 27 goals in the process following last week's 5-0 defeat to top dogs Hardwicke.

Opponents Clanfield went out of the FA Vase last week, defeated 2-0 in the second round by Chalfont St Peter of the Spartans South Midlands League.
Astonishing But True - 5th September

With on five games of the season played FTL Futbol Hellenic One West, Cirencester Town could move level on points with their whole tally for last season with a win against Tytherington Rocks tomorrow.

One win and one draw in their opening five games has put Chokri Kartit's side three points short of the seven they got after losing 31 out of 34 games and finishing rock botton of Division One West in 2007-08.

Cirencester have only finished in the top half of a table once in their 21 seasons since formation as 'The Herd' in 1987. Tytherington, who have a 100 per cent away record this season, have chalked up nine consecutive top half finishes either in Hellenic One West or their previous league The Gloucester County League.
