CHESHIRE WALKING FOOTBALL'S FIRST FESTIVAL

Some video footage from last Tuesday's event.

CHESHIRE WALKING FOOTBALL'S FIRST FESTIVAL.

Some shots from the Cheshire Walking Football Festival held on 22nd September in Knutsford as a prelude to a monthly walking football league to be held in Cheshire and run to a properly formulated set of rules determined by our steering group along with assistance from Adam Doyle & Cheshire F.A. Thanks to Age UK for their support & participation at the festival & also congratulations to Northgate Strollers, the eventual winners. Photos courtesy of Andy Jones.

LIVERPOOL WALKING FOOTBALL FESTIVAL

Injuries marred what would have been a very credible performance in Maghull last Saturday. Our 8 man squad was rapidly reduced to only 4 "fully fit" players but we soldiered on regardless. Best wishes to Shaughn, Gary, Pete & Alan for speedy recoveries and thanks to all who took part.

FOOTBALLER OF THE WEEK

Ron Turner - Goalkeeper Extraordinaire - is our latest player to receive the coveted Footballer Of The Week award for his outstanding performance between the sticks at last Thursday's session at Soccerloco.  Join us this and every Thursday at Soccerloco in Bromborough between 3-4pm.

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.
