Walking football coming to Edenderry later this month

As part of the upcoming Men’s Health Week, a new initiative will be taking place at the home grounds of Edenderry Town FC.

On Friday, June 19 the club will play host to an introductory to men’s walking football, which has become very popular around the country with people aged over 40.

The event is described as ideal for anyone considering getting active again and perfect for people looking for a social and relaxed environment without pressure. All abilities are welcome to attend and no prior experience is needed.

The event will be staged at Paul Hoye Park, Church View Heights, Edenderry between 7pm and 8pm and for further information people can contact Denise, from Offaly Sports Partnership, on 086 7912513.
