A group of not so young footballers have been rolling back the years at Wellington Sports Centre.

Players aged from their 50s to mid-80s are taking part in a walking football course organised by Tone Leisure.

Walking football follows the normal rules but games are played at a less frenetic pace.

A spokeswoman said: “It provides the perfect opportunity to give those that have given up playing sport the chance to be more active again in a sociable, fun and safe way.

“Men and women of all ages and abilities are welcome, and there’s no need to book.”
