CULCHETH Walking Football Club is taking full advantage of a brand-new 3G football pitch at Culcheth High School by making it their new home.
Culcheth Walking Football has booked the whole pitch for an hour each Tuesday evening and will now make it its permanent home for its weekly 7-8 pm training sessions, its League and Cup matches, and also its own tournament in September.
Walking football is played as 6 x 6 or 7-a-side games and the whole pitch allows the club to hold three games at the same time, for up to 42 players.
It is a well-structured sport with its own rules and it is well organised at local and County level. Culcheth’s club participates in Lancashire Football Association’s over-50s and over-60s leagues and a Cheshire FA over-60s league, as well as the FA’s and the WFA’s national Cup competitions.
The club also participates in tournaments, including one in Portugal every year.
It is a popular game and an excellent set up.
Yannis, the club’s Secretary said: “We always welcome anyone over 50 who loves football to come and give it a try. We are a club of all abilities and we are especially keen for more 50-59 year olds to bolster our teams. We are also looking to set up a women’s team, as other clubs have done.”
There is no membership fee, it’s just £5 pay-and-play. For any further information email [email protected]
