Irish Falcons: Wonder goal for Gary; debut for John
Falcons Gary Mathews and John Smith pulled on the green of Ireland in late August to represent the country at The Maureen Evans International Memorial Cup walking football tournament held in Neath, Wales.
The tournament featured teams from Wales, England, Ireland and a Caribbean squad with competitions at levels from Over-50s up to Over 70s in a round-robin group format.
Gary had his shooting boots on again and scored against England (“as usual” according to Gary) and Wales as Ireland won the Over-60s division. The Welsh captain described Gary’s goal v Wales as the best he’d seen (video evidence required) .
John made his international debut for the over-70s Irish squad who ended the day with one win and 3 defeats.
A great performance by both our Irish Falcons.
Congratulations.
