 Hi good morning

I had the pleasure of once again, playing at Moulton Town's, over 65's Walking Football Tournament.

Once again a great day, well organised and a very good example of how WF should be played.

Unfortunately due to playing, I was unable to get any photo's or video's.

I played for a Kettering, Desbor', Corby (me), combination.

The tournament was split into 2 groups.

In our group we finished 2nd.

This was achieved by 3 ni nil draws & a 3-0 win.

This took us into the secondary final, where we faced one of Moultons team.

It was a close encounter, but Moulton came stronger in the last 5 or 6 minutes, winning the game.

So defeat in the final. But... we got there undefeated & without conceding a goal.

Concidering half the squad were not used to playing with each other, we'll take that as a plus.

The primary final was played between 2 teams we drew with in the group stage, so a plus there to.

Thanks to Tim Webb for getting us together & assuming team manager.

Thanks to Moulton Town for the invite.

There were plenty of cameras about, so no doubt they will appear on Moulton's website.

If your not involved in WF, thinking your playing days were over, or you just fancy having ago.

Then just do it

Bye for now.

Regards John

Corby v Rothwell.

The Steelmen followed up their relative success Thursday day with another victory over local rivals Rothwell.

 The game was played over 3 periods, with the 1st being very tight ending 0-0.

Corby found some form storming into a 3-0 lead.

Rothwells ever improving team never dropped their heads and pulled a couple of goals back.

Corby scored a 4th & Rothwell got a 3rd, with the final score 4-3 in Corby's favour.

It was a good show from Rothwell as they had no subs, with Corby Rotating with 4.

 The Steelmen have now won 2 out of the 3 friendlies against Rothwell & also beat them in the tournament.

It was a good run out by both sides

 Hi

On the 15/08/2021 Corby Town Football Club heeld the 1st of what is to be an annual event, Walking Football Tournament.

The "Robin Webster Memorial" event was played at Corby's home ground "Steel Park. The trophies were donated by Robin's family

10 mens teams & 5 ladies teams played in qualifying rounds, 15 minutes per game, followed by 2 semi finals & the finals, which were 2 ten minute halves.

The men's section was divided into 2 leagues of 5, with the top 2 going on to the finals, each team playing 5 games, 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw & 0 for a lose.

The day was perfect in every way, weather, turnout & an array of talent from the elder statemen/women of football.

Northampton Mens Finally won the day in the men's section.

Market Harbrough Hornets runners up

Cheshunt Ladies took the Honours, in the ladies section.

With Northampton ladies runners up.

Corby Town's newly formed (Sept, 2020) Walking football also had a great day.

Back row left to right: Alan Revie, manager Ray Shillito, Derek, Mick Veal, Ian Carr, George Turner, John Cowie

Front Row: James Hay, Sean, manager P. Bird, Steve Clarke, Ian 

In the qualifying rounds they won their 1st 3 games, drew the 4th, giving themselves enough points to qualify for the semi's, with 1 game to spare which they lost.

A tough game followed, against the very experienced Harbro' Hornets, which the Steelmen found themselves short of the form they showed in the qualifiers, losing 3-0 to the Hornets.

However their 1st competition has to be considered a success played 6, won 3, drawn 1, lost 2.

                                                                Well done lads.

Well done to all those that played,

Special thanks to the Steelmen managers, Ray Shillito & P Bird,Chairman Steve Noble & all those behind the scenes that made it a special day.

                                         A big thank you to Robin Websters Family
