The over 50s are still shy to come forward; however, we are gaining interest with three players in this category. The referee was Mike from the Olhão East Algarve Walking Football Team.

June Gallagher
We are sorry to inform you that June, wife of John Gallagher, passed away on Wednesday 20th July 2022 after a lengthy battle with cancer. John was a regular WF player in the early days at Olhão, and he and June were always good company at EAWF social events. When June’s diagnosis was confirmed they returned to the UK and took up residence in Portishead near Bristol. Our sincere condolences to John and the family at this very difficult time.
