BANGOR FC Walking Footballers gave a warm welcome to players from Winchester at Clandeboye Park last weekend as they hosted a mini tournament which was full of excitement, skill and drama.
A classy Winchester A side ended up topping the league table with 10 points, ahead of Bangor Seasiders on eight, Bangor Seagulls (five) and Bangor Sea Lions (four), on what was another great day for walking football.
Winchester A claimed overall victory in dramatic fashion after striker Barry Poffley scored a last-gasp equaliser in the final round robin match against the Seasiders, who had led through a Paul Corken strike.

Swift-footed Poffley was in dynamic form throughout the tournament, scoring six goals including a hat-trick in a 5-0 win over Winchester B during which midfielder Graham Newland added a further two goals.
