CHALKE VALLEY
Chalke Valley FC was founded in 2002 as part of the Chalke Valley sports initiative, formed to secure lottery funding to the tune of £265,000. This enabled the building of fantastic facilities and we really are the envy of the local area, so much so in fact, that when the Salisbury City FC manager Nick Holmes opened the centre he commented that many Southern League sides would be glad of what was on offer.

The club was formed by amalgamating three village teams (Broadchalke, Bishopstone and Ebbesbourne)and started from pretty humble beginnings. Slowly we have built a club worthy of the facilities and now find ourselves with two adult sides - one in the Wilts County League Premier Division and the other in The Premier Division of the Salisbury & District Football League. We also have a Legends side who play in the local Sunday league.

We were awarded Charter Standard status in 2006 and were named Wiltshire Adult club of the Year for 2008. This was deserved recognition for all of the hard work put in by everyone at the club from the management team through to the ladies who run the bar but not least the players who have preformed magnificantly on the pitch over the past three years to secure many honours, not least of which was a treble (Premier League, Premier Cup and Charity Cup) in 2006/07. Our county side was actually unbeaten at home for two and a half years so the ground is now affecionately known as the Fortress!!

We are a young club in every sense of the word, extremely ambitious and try to do everything properly. We train on Wednesdays under the guidance of qualified coaches and our style of play is certainly more Arsenal than Wimbledon.

Everyone is welcome at the club, and you are assured of a warm welcome. If you feel you could contribute in any way (especially sponsorship) please feel free to come along and make yourself known, alternatively contact us by mail through the button on the left.
