Tournament to celebrate walking football team anniversary

A local walking football club celebrated its 10th anniversary with a special tournament involving teams from Wrexham, Chester, and Anglesey.

Coedpoeth Walking Football Club, a small club formed in 2016, hosted the event at Pen Y Cae FC, featuring two men’s and two women’s teams.

Club chairman Dave Donaghy expressed his delight at the day, stating it was “a very special event, and a lot of fun.”

The tournament was also attended by Arthur Evans, whose idea it was to start a walking football group.

The men’s competition was bagged by Wrexham WFC, while Coedpoeth Dragonesses Blue emerged victorious in the women’s tournament.

The club, which began as a health and social initiative for men over 50, continues to thrive.

For those interested in joining, details of taster sessions and training times can be found on the Coedpoeth Walking Football Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/161331828540791/

The 10th anniversary event highlighted the club’s growth and community spirit, with players and families celebrating together after the tournament.
