Walking Football Team - now also over 65's

Post: # 220995Post petersperoni »

Demand across the country has created a section in walking football for over 65's and accordingly we now have a team in that age group - called The Bobs (Barnet Old Boys!) - and are playing competitive football. In our first tournament Norwich City had two teams, Birmingham City sent a team as did Southend United to name but a few and the standard was quite high.

So if you or someone you know is interested in joining us and playing competitively, the best session to come to is on Friday afternoon's from 2 until 3 on the astroturf pitches at the Hive, cost of £3 plus parking if you park in the car park. After the session we then retreat to the Pecking Order bar for a cuppa or something stronger. It'd be great to have two teams.

Just for information to show how the game has grown, Manchester City are holding an over 50's walking football tournament in October, we have played friendlies and competitively against Arsenal, West Ham, Watford, Luton, Orient and so many others. If you want to be a part of this opportunity to either continue your playing career or to even rekindle your game (the last time some of us played was 30 - 40 years ago!) just come along on Friday's and we also have a session on Thursday evenings, 7-8 p.m., the same costs as Fridays, just turn up.

We hope to see some of you.

We also have our own Facebook page - 'Over 50's walking football at The Hive'
