UNDER new manager Ben Carter, Keynsham Town’s first team (Jewson Western League, Division One) have shown signs of improvement with their hard-fought 1-1 draw away to promotion-seeking Bradford Town.
We also welcome new signings George Bishop (from Chipping Sodbury Town) and Gio Angelinetta (from Chippenham Town FC Academy). Despite the team’s league position, the spirits are high at the AJN Stadium.
Over the festive period, they play Bristol Telephones away on Boxing Day and then have a vital relegation three-pointer at home to Gillingham Town on New Year’s Day (both 3pm).
Currently the Dorset club are bottom of the league, with Keynsham just one place, but eight points, above them. This may seem like a dangerous position to be in, but only five points separate the clubs in 17th to 21st place.
The reserves have an interesting local derby at the AJN against Saltford on Saturday December 28 (3pm). In the new year, the under-18s play are at home to Mendip Broadwalk on Tuesday January 14 at 7.45pm. The women’s first team are at home to Bournemouth on February 2, and the development team host Cheltenham Town Reserves on January 26, both at 2pm.
