On a beautiful bright and sunny Sunday the MK Walkers over 50’s team took part in a very well organised mini-tournament, simply for fun. There were no prizes, no medals and no awards – it was simply for the love of the game. Our starting line-up was:
GK – Paul Cox
CB – Rick Green
CB – Bryan Mounch
CM – Ron Perkins
CF – Terry Haggis
CF – Jason Heenan (Captain)

Sub – An unexpected Steve Smith!
Manager – Paul Sutton
Moral Support & Kitman – Chris Pierce

Game 1 – M&J Kempston Reds 0, MK Walkers 1 (Heenan)
Game 2 – Bedford Blues 0, MK Walkers 1 (Heenan)
Game 3 – M&J Kempston Golds 0, MK Walkers 2 (Heenan, Perkins)
Game 4 – Bedford Whites 1, MK Walkers 0
Game 5 – M&J Kempston Clarets 1, MK Walkers 0
Game 6 – Northampton 0, MK Walkers 0

We had a great time, with the final results being 3 wins, 2 losses and a no-score draw. We scored 4 times and only conceded 2, one of which was (obviously) a slightly dodgy penalty. A special shout-out to Paul C. who was simply superb all day. A great way to spend an afternoon with your mates, and we finished (as all good matches do) in the bar. Cheers to Chris (no, the other one) and Martin to popping in and supporting the team.

A chilly night saw the MK Walkers Under 60 team take on MK Irish at the Leon Centre in Bletchley last night. It was a close and hard fought battle played in a competitive nature with the Walkers going down 4-3 at the end.

We took an early lead with a cracking shot from John McHale, but Irish fought back and we were down 3-2 at the half, with Jason Heenan slotting another home just before the break.

The second half was a lot closer fought, with the Irish scoring another and keeping John Rattigan in the Walkers goal busy with some superb saves. A clear foul drew a penalty for us, with J Mac smashing it home. The Walkers came close to drawing level on several occasions but it was not to be.

Cheers to Tel for captaining us last night, and thanks to Paul for organising, managing and yelling at us at half time. Also, thank you to our evening cheerleaders – DC, Stevie T and Kief.

Linda and Sue from the Ladies MK Walkers FC team played in the over 40s Ladies FA Cup Final for Nottingham Forest at St. Georges Park. Both played a key part in helping the team lift the trophy.

This is the first time the FA have run an FA Cup for Walking Football and their Nottingham Forest Vets team are one of only 6 women’s teams who have won through from regional competitions. It’s especially prestigious for the women’s team as they were only formed in 2023 but have gone from strength-to-strength since their inception.

Well Done Linda and Sue!

On a very pleasant Monday night MK Walkers over 60s played MK Irish over 60s in a friendly match at Leon school. Mk Walkers took along a very strong squad and every player who wanted to play took part. The final result was MK Walkers 6, MK Irish 0. Golden boot winner of the night was young Eddie Lindop who scored five times, with Ron Perkins netting another.

Looks like another match ball for Eddie.

Great squad performance and our Graham kept a clean sheet.

The club would like to say a special thank you to Paul Sutton for arranging the match, and to Chris Pearce coming along to support and help manage the squad. It was also great to see Martin Smith supporting the team.
