Walking Sports
Walking Football (Mixed)
A sport that has received an unexpected profile after featuring in a recent advert on TV! Not aimed at a specific age group but perfect for those whose circumstance dictates that walking would be better than running.
Taunton Walking Football - Tuesdays 10.00am @ Taunton Vale Sports Club. Outdoors on 3G Astroturf
Bridgwater Walking Football - Wednesdays 11.00am at Hinkley Point pitches, Bath Road. Outdoors on 3G Astroturf
