Isle of Man walking football takes on Triskelion tournament

Four Isle of Man walking football squads put in a series of spirited displays during a Triskelion Tournament in the UK last weekend.

Competing in Birmingham on Saturday, 11 July – the Isle of Man, for the first time, fielded teams across four age bands – 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s – facing off against opposition from England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland and the Caribbean.

The most successful of the Island squads was the 70s team, which managed to secure four points from four games to finish fourth in their age group standings.

Elsewhere, the Isle of Man 40s claimed three points from three matches to finish third in their division whilst the Isle of Man 60s managed two points across their five games.

The 50s, meanwhile, finished sixth in their group and were unable to get points on the board during their campaign.
