Spennymoor Town Walking Football Club
The Invincibles - Champions 2023 / 2024
STWFC played their last away game in the Durham FA over 60, walking football league recently against a Gateshead side who have struggled to register a win this season. Despite this, they continued to play in the spirit of walking football, enjoying the experience rather than the glory of winning.
STWFC where quick to establish their dominance, scoring a number of goals in quick succession and were 10 goals up just before gale force winds and a heavy downpour of hailstones called a halt to the half. Walking was quickly forgotten as both team ran for shelter in the clubhouse.
Thankfully, as quickly as it came, the sun burst out and the remainder of the game was played in sun but with blustery winds. In the second half STWFC were unable to add to their first half tally despite peppering the goal with numerous attempts.
The final score was STWFC 10 - Gateshead 0,
This results means STWFC have gone through the season unbeaten P8 W8 L0 so will be promoted to League 1 as Champions ready for the 24/25 season where they will face stiffer competition against well established teams, such as Benfield, Killingworth and Peterlee.
A big thank you and well done to everyone involved with STWFC in helping to establish this club both on the recreational and competitive level and a special mention to Stephen Clayton who finished the season on 22 goals, hopefully there will be more to come in the 24/25 season.
