WOODLEY PENSIONERS walking football team enjoyed a weekend to remember with success in the George Peters Cup.

Playing at Havant, the team scored eight goals and conceded just three times in five matches to be crowned as the cup winners on Sunday.

Finishing with eight points, Woodley pipped Portsmouth on goal difference to claim top spot.

The club fielded two teams in the first round of matches of the over 60s spring season at Bisham Abbey.

Following last season’s promotion to division one, the A team may need more time to find their feet to adjust to higher levels of competition,

They came from behind twice to win 3-2 against Bicester Fossils before being involved in a goalless draw against Bracknell Town B.

They were then beaten in matches against Aylesbury, Bracknell Town A and Oxford United.

The B team also struggled to find rhythm and suffered three narrow defeats in four.

However, they did pick up a point in a credible draw against Oxford United B.

In the week, the over 65s team competed in the top division for their age group and produced a fine display.

They find themselves in third position after the first round of matches with two wins and two draws from five matches giving them a return of eight points.
