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 (EWFL) and the Walking Football National Cup with selection at the discretion of the team managers. We also have an Over 75s squad which in the current 2025 season is playing in a number of friendly tournaments ahead of a possible EWFL 75s division being launched in 2026.

Join us. For the love of the game.

Over 75s: Positive signs at first EWFL tournament

Our Over 75s started their “inaugural” season at Billericay in early April as part of an EWFL initiative to see if there will be sufficient interest to form a 75s Division in 2026. The league has set five dates for friendly tournaments this year.

The squad was only 6-strong due to injuries and unavailability and lost its 3 group games but won a play-off for 3rd place on penalties (The oldest Falcons can take penalties!). Good signs for the future. Details here.

Over 70s: 4 points apiece on opening day...

Our Over 70s squads both picked up 4 points on the opening day of the season. For details of the Blues go here; for the Yellows go here.

Over 50s pay the penalty…

Our kids' squad (pictured) had a disappointing second matchday of the season, falling to three 0-1 defeats. The outcomes weren’t helped by three unconverted penalties on the day so there is probably some spotkick practice due in training before the next round of matches. Result details here.

The weekend’s games also sparked a debate on whether taller walking footballers are going under the refs’ running radar while more vertically-challenged players are being short-changed by the officials when they pick up the pace. Thesis to be published at the end of the season.

Over 65s: First points on the board on "derby day"...

Over 65s Yellows picked up 6 points while Blues notched 4 on a season-opening day that included a politely contested Eastwood derby settled by a single goal from Yellows' Gary Bell.

Yellows details here; Blues details and report here.
