Our opponents were obviously very keen to get accustomed to the Baypoint pitch as they arrived early for a warm… Match squad: Lawrence, Dave (captain), Patrick, Jason, Stuart, Phil & Michael Following the win in the 1st game of the season, our 2nd game against Canterbury was eagerly awaited. The first half saw Bay City Strollers 50s having more possession of the ball than the visitors. Fair but strong… Match squad: Lawrence Jim Gordon Rob Tony Les George Chris Paul Well this certainly wasn’t part of the script but to be fair Woodnesborough ran out worthy winners, the score line was possibly a little unjust but the result cannot be disputed. The first half was fairly even… Match squad: Lawrence Jim Kevin Rob Michael Les George Gordon Tony Chris Difficult to sum up today, it was a type of game we could have won comfortably, passing was good, we didn’t concede too many chances and made plenty of our own, it is easy to say we should… Squad: Lawrence Dave Jason Patrick Ada Peter Ian Mike W Danny Jim Flaming June has transformed it to extremely soggy July as the newly reformed BayCity Strollers 50s began their league campaign against opponents that we have never previously encountered.

Several long efforts on the away goal either went narrowly wide, were well saved or… Squad: Lawrence Rob Gordon Kevin Les Chris George Toony Paul It was great to have Paul back in the squad and he put in a strong second half performance defensively keeping his man quiet.

We started really well keeping possession and pushing our opponents backwards with some excellent… Squad: Lawrence Jim Michael Rob Gordon Chris Kevin Les Our first pre season friendly was played in an excellent spirit and well refereed by Tony Old. Kevin made his debut and celebrated with a goal just before half time, prior to this Les had grabbed a couple of goals early on to… Squad: Lawrence Jim Colin Gordon Toony Les Michael Nobby On the face of it the score looks like we took quite a beating and there is little doubt that our opponents were worthy winners not only on the night but in winning the league with 14 straight victories. However, we pushed them hard,… Squad for today: Lawrence Jim Toony Gordon Chris Les Michael Paul So on the day the World Cup gets underway the Strollers took on Ramsgate in what is surely the purist format of the game. Walking football has been a revelation to us of the older generation, trouble is those that take… Squad Lawrence Jim Nobby Gordon Chris Les Michael A much depleted squad took to the very narrow home pitch with Nobby making his league debut, we were missing a number of regular players:- Colin – Hernia George – flown south for the winter Rob Lynn – Back – old police injury (fell off… Squad Lawrence Jim Gordon Rob Michael Les George Toony Suffering a number of injuries and absences we took on a very strong and competitive Ashford team, it is our fourth match against them and we managed to secure our first victory after two draws and a defeat.

Peter was a driving force for our club and loved… Squad Lawrence Gordon Rob Chris Michael Les George Toony On a very pleasant Sunday morning we took the field to take on Canterbury in our first league match since the end of June. We had an extremely early chance to take the lead as George kicked off laying the ball back to… Squad Lawrence Jim Colin Rob Michael George Les Gordon Toony Paul Before kick off today both teams observed a minutes silence in honour of the sad passing of league official Ron Boddy, one of the driving forces in the formation of the walking football league that we all enjoy playing in so much…. Squad Lawrence Jim Rob Gordon Colin Michael Les George Steve Paul After two difficult away games where we came away with creditable draws tonight was the toughest of the lot against last season’s league winners. Herne Bay started well keeping the ball with quick movement and some crisp one and two touch… Squad Lawrence Jim Rob Gordon Colin Toony Les So the strollers took to the surprisingly narrow pitch on a fairly cool evening with the added difficulty of kick ins and corners to deal with, something we haven’t really come across too many times and a complete contrast to the previous away game….
