Walking football sessions in Doncaster are helping old friends reconnect and boosting people’s physical and mental health.
Doncaster Dynamos, who play at Goals in Wheatley on Tuesday and Friday mornings, regularly attract around 20 players aged from 50 to 75 to their sessions.
Organiser David Hatfield – the team’s oldest player at 75 – reconnected with his long-lost friend Frank Beaumont, 73, who he hadn’t seen for 50 years when he began playing seven years ago…
The team is always on the lookout for new players and has enjoyed recent success, which has seen them invited to take part in a league featuring sides from across northern England.
They are now on the hunt for sponsorship.
Anyone interested in sponsoring the Doncaster Dynamos or coming to a session should email David at davidh272@btinternet.com
