CHESHIRE WALKING FOOTBALL MEETING

Had a really productive meeting Of Cheshire Walking Football at Cheshire FA in Northwich yesterday. A brief summary is

1. Rules reviewed and agreed - final draft to be formatted.
2. Clarification of walking football FA recommendation for male and female teams.
3. Team registration forms to be sent out to organisations.
4. Festival details reviewed and agreed. 
5. Website to be developed with twitter and a forum to generate interest and feedback.

The latter will allow players to help develop further the structure of the game in Cheshire.

I will post a copy of the rules on here as soon as we receive them.

FOOTBALLER OF THE WEEK

At our most recent session, Andy Jones was presented with his walking Footballer Of The Week trophy by coach Stu Carrington. The picture shows Andy holding the trophy surrounded by some of his envious friends.

NEW NAME FOR WALKING FOOTBALL IN WIRRAL

We were recently informed by Tranmere Rovers that they did not wish to add an extra walking football session nor be involved in competitive walking football competitions. It was also requested that we cease to use the name Tranmere Rovers Walking Football. Therefore, we have decided to change the name of the blog to Wirral Walking Football. All future tournaments will not be affected and we will continue to work with Cheshire FA to further progress the future of walking football. The new venue and time for our sessions is Soccerloco in Bromborough from Thursday 3rd September from 3-4pm. This venue boasts a superb indoor astro turf pitch together with safety netting on the sides and top. There are also refreshments facilities available both before and after the sessions. Cost will be £3.00 per session. Stu Carrington from Everton will be coaching us. This session is a replacement for the Monday one at the Powerleague in Kirkdale.

NEW WALKING FOOTBALL WEBSITE

The new Cheshire Walking Football website is now up and running courtesy of Bill Murney. We have allowed some of our pictures to be uploaded onto the site. Check it out for up to date walking football news in Cheshire.
