MIDSOMER Men’s Walking Football are moving away from Dragonfly Sports Centre and re-locating to Chilcompton Sports where they will become affiliated members of the football club. 

The move to their newly installed astroturf facility will be completed this week, providing them with a larger playing area and the use of the associated facilities such as the Sports Club bar/café.

Players can expect to play the non-contact sport at the usual times of 10am-12pm on Tuesday and Thursday mornings throughout the year.

The Men’s Walking Football currently play at two levels, a social level for beginners new to walking football and looking to improve their fitness and a more competitive level for the more experienced players. 

Speaking to Mr Tyson, a member of the team, he told The Journal: “We are really looking forward to the move. The larger facility will enable us to attract more players, and the club house will definitely be beneficial as we like to have refreshments and a good old chat after a game.”

The Walking Football Team are welcoming all players, new and existing, to join them at their new premises. For more information on the team and how to join, please contact: Angelo Ruis on 07470 259513.
