Walking Football Set To Expand In Market Harborough
Written by HFM News on 3rd December 2021
Walking Football is increasing in popularity in Market Harborough with over 60 people now playing regularly at Harborough Town FC.
The non-contact sport is open to men over 50 and women over 40 and plans are now afoot to start daytime games for the first time.
The walking football section ‘Harborough Hornets’ was launched in 2015 and there are now three sections playing the game in the town – Over 50’s, Over 60’s and over 70’s.
Currently sessions are held on Monday and Wednesday evenings on the new state-of-the-art new 3G pitch at the Community Ground, but it’s hoped daytime games will soon take place during the day on a Thursday too, particularly to appeal to retired people.
Peter Oppenheimer, who helps co-ordinate the walking football in Market Harborough, is encouraging people to get involved:
