FOR those aged 50 and over who love their football but are heading for 'the final whistle' of their playing career there's a great opportunity for a little injury time — or, on reflection, perhaps non injury time!

West Devon Borough Council and the Devon Football Association have come up with 'Walking Football' — aimed at encouraging more physical activity.

With 'Walking Football' the emphasis is on fun rather than competition and even the most ardent couch potato will find it hard it to make an excuse to not join in.

The difference is players cannot run or jog, only walk! So speed is not essential — who knows, you could even be spotted by a Plymouth Argyle scout needing a new defender!

Free taster sessions will take place in Tavistock College sports hall on March 14, between 5pm to 6pm.
