A HEREFORDSHIRE walking football team has been testing their skills against others from across the country.
Athletico Ross on Wye Walking Football Team took an over 50’s and over 60’s to a tournament at Barry Town and competed against seven other teams from all over England and Wales.
The 50’s started brightly winning the first game 5-1 but soon come across better teams. They won one other game but lost the rest by the odd goal.
The 60’s started poorly but grew into the tournament. They won two games, drew one and lost the remaining, again by the odd goal which were scored via the penalty spot.
It was a thoroughly entertaining and well organised event and Athletico look forward to entering next year with a more in-depth squad.
Athletico Ross on Wye walking football club form formed over 10 years ago and are a friendly and social bunch who get together on Thursday evenings 7pm to 8pm at John Kyrle High School.
Anyone interested in joining or just taking a look can just turn up.
Athletico also took the opportunity to sport their new kit at the tournament, which was kindly sponsored by Rediscover the World, tailor made holiday specialists.
