Chester FC women’s walking football team shine at annual tournament
Chester FC's women's walking football team finished as runners-up at the seventh annual Dick, Kerr Ladies Walking Football Tournament.
The annual tournament honours the Dick, Kerr ladies football team - one of the earliest known women's teams, who won 682 of their 755 games from from 1917 to 1965.
Having only played their first games in February this year, the Seals were the least experienced team in the tournament, which was hosted at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston.
The Seals demonstrated their progress by holding their own against seasoned opponents.
Chester FC Community Trust launched its women's walking football sessions last summer and they have proven to be a great success, with many new friendships formed.
Walking football is played at a slower pace with no running and minimal contact, making it ideal for older players - as well as those who want to return to the game or looking to play for the first time.
The sessions currently take place every Thursday from 7pm to 8pm at Goals Soccer Centre. New players of all ages and experience levels are always welcome.
