Nantwich Walking Football Ladies team has scooped the silver cup by winning the Cheshire festival final against Stockport.
The victory comes just two years after the ladies team was founded.
Barbara Barlow spearheaded a recruitment drive to attract more women to the club so a team could be created.
At that time the membership was 99.9% men, says Barbara, so she founded the NWFC ladies team, The Yellow Hammers…
And at the next festival on May 12 The Yellow Hammers performed fantastically throughout the entire tournament, beating Stockport County Hatters in the final to win the silver cup.
It’s a first for the ladies team and a first for Nantwich Walking Football.
NWFC play every Tuesday 5pm until 6pm at The Vagrants sports ground, Willaston, Nantwich.
No need to book, first session free. Ask for Ray or Barbara.
