The Northern Ireland Over-60s walking football team have competed in international matches for the first time.
The team, who are run by the Northern Ireland Walking Football Federation in conjunction with the Irish FA Foundation, recently played two matches in Birmingham – against Republic of Ireland A and B teams.
The Over-60s geared up for the two internationals with a friendly against a Birmingham County Select team. All three of the seven-a-side matches were played at Coleshill FC’s ground on the outskirts of Birmingham.
The game against Republic of Ireland A ended in a 2-2 draw, although Northern Ireland had enough chances to win their maiden international match.
