Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin’s Women’s Walking Football Group are hosting a friendly tournament in Shrewsbury this month, to celebrate their two-year anniversary.
The event will be the group’s second tournament and will feature four local teams for an afternoon of fun, fitness and community spirit in aid of supporting local older people.
The friendly competition will be held on Sunday 23 March 2.00-4.00pm at the Monkmoor Recreation Ground in Shrewsbury.
‘It’s great to bring so many women together to play walking football and enjoy the friendly competitiveness the sport offers,’ said Emma Wilde, Wellbeing Services Manager at Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin.
Spectators are encouraged to attend and cheer on the teams, including Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin’s very own ‘Slips, Trips & Wobbles’ team. Come along and show your support!
