Walking Football programme makes strides

After launching the scheme last month, LFC Legend Alan Kennedy joined the participants back out on the pitch for a morning of competitive games.

The Walking Football sessions, which run alongside Walking Netball, are designed to encourage over 50s to engage in physical activity in a fun and social setting.

Patrick Brown, football engagement officer at Anfield Sports and Community Centre, said: “It was a great day. It’s fantastic to see the older generation playing football.

“It’s all about the enjoyment of the game and getting the older participant get back into football. A big thanks to Red Neighbours and their fantastic work they do within the community.
