On Saturday 11th April the Thames Valley Walking Football League entered their first TVWFL ladies representative team into the WFLA over 40s category. We had 4 players from Chesham United, 2 from Cheshunt and 2 from Crystal Palace.
As ladies representative for the TVWFL, I selected a team following some trials that were arranged the previous month. The team selected gelled quickly and won all of their games against a Birmingham league team. The first game was won 3-0. Scorers were Sian Williams, Alli Murphy and Paul Lambert. The second game was won 1-0. Scorer was Sian Williams.
The TVWFL team then played the winners of the 50s category – The Lincolnshire League, winning 1-0 with a goal from Catherine Andrews.
All the ladies enjoyed playing together and playing with different people. We’re hoping next year with some earlier planning we can get a 40s and 50s team. 5 of the team that played in this were already over 50!
Thank you to all of those who attended trials and represented the league – you did us proud!
