Walking Football 8/2/15

It was decided at the end of our last game that it would be necessary to move the pitch and create some desperately needed extra space for the spectators. Showing off their practical skills, team DOMUS set to and moved the pitch away from the dwarf wall which had become a source of injury to many of the players as they tripped, fell or were hurled over it.

Walking football report 25th Jan

Walking Football 8th Game Unfortunately for me I had forgotten to bring my ear defenders so as I approached the pitch I was subjected to the sounds of the warm-up.

Not only does he, or she, wish to remain […]

Walking Football 6th Press release With Christmas and New Year a distant memory, the Dangerous Old Men Of Steel began their 6th game of Walking football here at Camping Los Gallardos. Sadly they still have to pick teams from players here on the site because as yet, no one else has found the courage to face this herculean group of ageing super heroes. As I approached the field I could hear the cracking of bones, the creaking of arthritic joints and the thwacking snap of tendons as they finished their warm up routine. Our ref, the Mighty Vicko blew his […]
