Kent FA’s International Women’s Day Extravaganza, supported by bank payment company GoCardless, took place at the training ground of Women’s Championship club, London City Lionesses, on Saturday, 8 March, with youth sessions in the morning and a variety of senior women’s activities in the afternoon.
A team from our newly formed Women’s Walking Football programme took part in a series of matches against teams from in and around Kent. A lot of the women in our team were new to football and with only 8 training sessions under their belts they took to the field against some seasoned teams from Crystal Palace, Whitstable, Margate, Cheshunt and Tonbridge.
Despite this being a baptism of fire, our ladies held their own in the main, although a win did allude them. It was a great learning experience for them and everyone played with a smile on their face and a positive attitude.
If you are keen to give walking football a go please get in touch as we look to develop this sport for women within Stones In The Community.
This programme is free to attend with sessions taking place every Friday
19:00 – 20:00 until 28 Mar 2025. There is plenty of free parking available.
