The Woodley Pensioners Over 50s team returned to Bisham Abbey on Sunday to continue their programme of Division Two matches in the Thames Valley Walking Football League.

On this cold, windy, yet bright afternoon the players showed no sign of the winter blues and served up a menu of flowing, well-organised performances which sees them sitting at the head of the table.

A feast of goals was their reward for excellent teamwork in the six-a-side matches from the squad of eight players.

Coordinated play by a seasoned side, coupled with seamless substitutions, produced openings aplenty in front of the goal. With numerous chances to score being presented on a plate, opportunities were not scorned.

Waight hit the net three times in a comfortable a 5-1 win over Wycombe. His appetite for goals was sated with a couple more in other games.

He was not alone on the scoresheet as O’Neil, Moss and Smith together contributed six more.

Creditable outfield performances from Brady, Forde and Seymour reinforced the excellent team spirit. Between the posts Desombre put in another reliable performance, providing security at the back, with only three goals conceded all afternoon.

By the end of the day the Woodley Pensioners had achieved four wins and a draw from their five matches and they now harbour hopes of winning the division.

With just the final round of matches to be played next month they retain the taste for success.
