Welcome to Eastwood Falcons Walking Football Club​​...

We’re here for players over 50 who don’t see age as a barrier to enjoying

the beautiful game. We welcome walking football players from all over Southend,

Leigh, Rayleigh, Westcliff and beyond.

 

We began as a small group in 2015. Several founding players had links

to the Eastwood Falcons of  the 1970s and resurrected the name when

EFWFC was formalised in 2016. We exist to:

- Enjoy our football (and the banter)

- Improve and maintain fitness

- Meet people with similar interests

- Offer competitive opportunities if desired

 

Training is year-round and open to anyone who enjoys a kick-about regardless of skill level. Our over-50s, 60s,  65s and 70s men’s teams play in the Essex Walking Football League and the Walking Football National Cup with selection at the discretion of the team managers.

 

Join us. For the love of the game.​

Over 70s: Agony as Blues miss  title on goal difference

 

Over 70s Blues finished their season unbeaten but agonisingly missed out on the league title on goal difference despite doing all they could by winning both their games on the final matchday. The outcome was all the more disappointing as rivals Little Oakley got their deciding 3 points based on a no-show by an opponent. A fantastic season all the same. Details of the Blues fantastic season and their league and cup exploits here.

 

Over 70s Yellows drew two and lost one and still have another matchday to come. Details here.

Rob and Bob step out

for Essex 70s...

 Falcons Rob Evison and Bob Hodges were chosen by EWFL Reps League manager Gary Murphy to represent the league's 70s team (pictured) in mid-October.

 

The three 25-minute games were played at Heybridge Swifts ground – the first two against two Oxfordshire squads and and the third against the EWFL’s other team.
 

The nine-man squad had a good warm-up before the first game by which time the dreadful weather had abated.  The  clash with Oxfordshire  A saw some very good football by both sides with the Essex squad winning and Rob contributing by scoring following a free kick 10 yards out. The second game vs Oxfordshire B saw the EWFL squad with a lot of possession and run out 2-0 winners.  In the third match, the EWFL’s first team beat the seconds 2-1  with Rob scoring the winner from the penalty spot.


A very enjoyable day and all the games were played in good spirit; a big thank you to Gary Murphy for organising .

Rob’s a keeper…

Rob Kenton has been selected for the EWFL Over-50s representative squad following his stellar performances for Falcons throughout the season and a “player of the day” performance in the last round of league fixtures.

 

Congrats Rob on this thoroughly deserved recognition for your goalkeeping skills as well as your hard work and dedication to Falcons on and off the pitch in multiple age group squads.
