Women’s
Football Over 25's Tournament |
|
| |
|
|
|
On Friday 26th February at the Goals Centre in
Bexleyheath, London FA & Lb Bexley ran a tournament for females over
the age of 25. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
18 months previous to this Claire Shevlin who was
the Greater London Women’s & Girls football development
officer ran a similar tournament, which was a great success.
So following on from this, Claire, who is now FDO at Bexley
and Emma Barnes from the London FA, got together to get this
over 25’s tournament running for a second time. |

The Runners-up |
|
| |
Response was good from local teams
and teams from further afar, and with funding in place the
evening promised to be a fantastic night for all involved.
On a cold night we had 8 teams, split into two groups,
followed by semi finals and then a final. |
| |
| The group games went well, and all
players showed good sportsmanship and |
| commitment, the semi
finals were both close games, but eventually two finalists
were decided, and the final was between, ‘Never to Old’ Vs
‘The Vets’. |
|
Again this was a very
close game with only one goal in it, and the winners on the
night were ‘The Vets’
One player from the Bexley Masters team, said ‘’It has been a
really enjoyable evening of football, and it is something that
I would like to take part in on a more regular basis. The
levels of ability have been mixed, but it has been good to be
able to get my boots on and have a run around in an enjoyable
environment’’
There are plans to do this kind of format on a more regular
basis and at other locations across London, so keep checking
