The Woodley Pensioners Walking Football Club’s over 60s first team were on the road again as they returned to Bisham Abbey on Sunday for the second round of matches in the autumn season.

Following a mediocre start last month the team needed to step up a gear if they were progress up the league table.

This time out the players rose to the challenge with goals driven home by Webster, Lamb and Harvey, alongside a brace from O’Neill. Backed up by a sturdy defence, Woodley achieved wins over Bracknell Town and Oxford United, a draw against Hurst and their only defeat to Slough was decided by a solitary goal.

This felt like a successful day out and these results have enabled the team to establish a firm mid-table position in Division 2. The players can now look forward with optimism to their next excursion to Bisham.

Just a few days earlier the club sent two teams to Bisham for a series of midweek matches in the over 65’s category. With seven points from their four matches, the first team improved on their previous record and climbed to second place in Division One.

Although the B team were able to secure just one win in the second tier, their matches this season have been closely contested with all eight games decided by a single goal.
