Walking football team get into their stride

JUST 12 months after launching, the Culcheth Walking Football Team are riding high
They had a highly successful first season against teams that had been established for some years.
Now they are turning out two good six-a-side team who can compete at any level, according to spokesman Denis Sutherland.
Both teams played in the St Helens Football Festival and the Warrington Disability Trust, where they beat local rivals Great Sankey.
St Helens Beacons have visited Culcheth twice at Culcheth High School – and were well beaten on both occasions.
The Culcheth teams train on Tuesday evenings, from 7pm to 8pm, at the high school and would welcome new players to enable them to compete in other tournaments next year.
Said Denis: “Culcheth Sports Club have been most generous with their support and equipment, kit and balls.”
