Ladies Training Tonight a mix session of tactical play of direct passing & dribbling with communication then with attack against defence, positional play followed by a competitive game with the tactical traits used enjoyed by all in the hot 🥵 temps, with plenty of hydro breaks💦💦💦
LOM goes to Sarah Thompson with her influential defensive blocking performance well done to all the ladies gaining more confidence to shoot.
⚽️is always the winner ❤️

As you may be aware the 70+ travelled to Coleshill Birmingham to compete in the WFLA champions competition
This competition is 70 + by proof of ID which posed a problem as both our regular keepers were unavailable and although we have a policy of playing home based players we had no choice but to recruit a friend of Tony Drinkell to help us out
Our squad
Vic Handley
Pete Hayward
Billy Harrison
Tony Drinkell (C)
Paul Goodhand
Eddie Plant
John Daly
Roy Gladwell
John Todd

Due to a late withdrawal there were 4 other teams to play each game was 20 minutes long

Abingdon
We started well our passing and link up play carving out several chances that were missed or saved
We were defending well and when shots came in Vic dealt with them comfortably
John Todd was played in one on one with the last defender who he beat and then finished well
An area infringement by Abingdon gave us a penalty and another goal from Toddy
He then scored again from a good team move with great passing that left him in on goal
Won 3-0

MSA Strollers (Burntwood)
We again controlled the game with good defending and possession football but yet again couldn’t score despite creating numerous chances
Vic was forced into several good saves as we played the last 5 mins on 3 runs which we managed well
Drew 0-0

Kingston

This was down as our toughest game as Kingston have won a national and regional championship in the last year
We had nothing to fear as we knew we were a match for any team
The match was tough but we defended well and Toddy was running their big defender ragged with his tricks and body swerves this culminated in a blue card dogso and penalty when he clattered John just as he was about to shoot
John scored the penalty
With Billy commanding at the back and everyone putting in a shift we played the game out with only a couple of scares
Won 1-0

Woodley
We played well from the start and put Woodley on the back foot but their keeper was in fabulous form and was saving every chance we made
John Daly hit a cracker and the keeper pushed it round the post
Tony Drinkell got the winner when he went forward got played in and hit it first time to wrong foot the keeper
Won 1-0
So we played 4 won 3 Drew 1 and conceded 0
Many thanks to all 9 players who all came with a team winning mentality
Special mention to Vic Handley who made some important saves at key moments
You are a credit to yourselves and GTCorinthians

And here they go again , our over 70s Grimsby Corinthians Official Walking Football Club winning another trophy. Brilliant effort boys 💪💪⚽⚽
