Over 65s Cup changes hands for first time since 2021
Wakering Walking FC over 65s survived the veritable 'group of death' to eventually lift the EWFL Over 65s Cup. Facing tough competition in Southend, Leyton Orient and previous winners, Chelmsford City, Wakering made it out of the group to play Little Oakley Red in a very even final. Little Oakley Red had overcome Billericay Blue, Eastwood Falcons Yellow and Little Oakley Blue to make it to the final.
The final itself was an even match of two teams that were giving nothing away and inevetably resulted in a nil - nil score after twenty minutes. This meant the result had to be decided by the dread penalty shoot out and Wakering prevailed by the narrowest of margins - three goals to two.
