Old Bexhillians travel to Loftus Road Stadium to honour one of their own

This month an Old Bexhillians team comprising Howard Whitelaw, Bryan Fisher, Mark Cole, Steve Merchant, Duncan Nolan, Brian Cook, Bob Nesbit and Nick Matthews travelled to the MATRADE Loftus Road Stadium, home of Queens Park Rangers to take part in the annual QPR Walking Festival alongside teams from Watford, Cove Rangers, Witham and two QPR supporter teams.

This event in memory of former Club member Ian Lambert, who sadly passed away last year. Ian was a lifelong Hoops fan and the day was not about winning and losing, but about celebrating and remembering those fans who have passed away over the past year.

The club welcome enquiries from ladies and gents about participating in walking football and contact can be made with the club`s chair Mr Mick Davies on 07961008743 or mickdavies48@gmail.com
