Following a good response to our question whether people would be interested in a “normal” running football session, we have arranged a session on Wednesday November 22nd at the usual venue in Tavira, from 9.30 am til 11.30 am. It is hoped that these sessions will then continue on a weekly basis if interest remains high.
All are welcome, so feel free to pop along and stretch those legs a bit.
This year’s Xmas Dinner will be held at the Churrasqueira O Franguinho on Thursday December 7th. The venue is the same as last year, and again we have an all-inclusive deal at €20 per head including drinks.

This year’s Xmas Dinner will be held at the Churrasqueira O Franguinho on Thursday December 7th. The venue is the same as last year, and again we have an all-inclusive deal at €20 per head including drinks.
Details on times and how to book/buy tickets will be forthcoming, but keep the evening free…….
We now have an events page on our website, where you will find details on all the upcoming social activities and tournaments. This can be found here.
We are also looking into starting a new session in Olhao on Tuesdays beginning in October. This will be strictly for the over 60s (following our normal WF rules with minimal contact). Hopefully this will give players who feel our normal Thursday sessions are a little “competitive” a chance to enjoy themselves with even less chance of injury etc.
We are also looking at starting a running football session for those interested, which will start in October at Tavira (likely on a Wednesday). Please let us know if you are interested in this so we can gauge numbers by emailing us at . Many thanks to Steve Johnson for volunteering to help organise this.
Additionally, how about a game of walking cricket? To celebrate our 3-year anniversary we are arranging an afternoon of cricket/football/picnics/what have you at Tavira after our normal Monday WF session in late September. More details will follow, but again let us know your interest by emailing us at .
Finally, we have a number of tournaments (both major and more social) coming up over the next few months; see our events page for more details.
There will be an evening with Brian Kilcline, FA Cup Final winning captain in 1987, held at the Black Anchor, Tavira Riverside, on Thursday 14th September at 7.00 pm for 7.30 pm.
Entry is €10, including light refreshment, with all proceeds going to local charities.
There will also be a raffle on the night, with the chance to win a mint condition, signed 1987 Limited Edition Subbuteo Table Football game featuring the Everton v Coventry City Charity Shield game.
