WFU National Comp. NW Final. Over 65's Manchester Corinthians A lot vs AFC Blackpool 0 Outgunned, outclassed and it could have been 20-0 (2 x 20 minute halves). I would just love to play behind a team that could score (ie our Over 50's) The final tally was 6 after being 5-0 down at half time.

your side has been very successful lennie - you've regularly been posting of winning the individual tournaments. that really is a measure of exactly how good manchester corinthians must be if they handled you that easily. no shame in coming up against somebody better.

WFA Over 60's Lancashire play offs (report by Si Staples team Manager)
With a really ageing squad due to injuries and withdrawals so wasn't looking forward to this.
Blackburn 0-0 Blackpool. Top class from Steve Hyde saving numerous shots earning us a draw.
Blackpool 1-0 Wigan (Wai) First win putting pressure on Blackburn now. Was an even game where we deservedly went in front after Wai's shot deflected off a Wigan defender wrongfooting the keeper. We just about held on.
Blackpool 0-0 Blackburn Solid this time, superb performance. Now we only need to repeat the Wigan result again and we've qualified.
Wigan 2-2 Blackpool (Jim. C 2)
Two nil up, 5mins left and Barrie had to come off with a head injury that churned our composure and shape up. Now we sweat on Blackburn. If they win 2 nil, they go through. 1-0 or a draw we go through on goals scored.
Whatever happens you've all done me and Blackpool proud.
Blackburn could only draw 0-0 (missing a penalty) so Blackpool qualify for the NW Finals against all odds.

Average age of our squad was 69 so we did really well until Barrie (74 year old centre half) decided to cut a groove in the 3G pitch with his forehead. Went there expecting nothing and came back as Lancashire Champions. Can't be bad !

Greater Manchester League Over 60s session 3 (Heywood)
Better rewards for our efforts this month. Having only 5 points from 8 games we took 8 points from today's 4 games. Push for promotion ? Perhaps not.
AFC Blackpool 1 Man City 0 AFC Blackpool 0 Fleetwood 0 AFC Blackpool 1 Bolton 0 (league leaders before today) AFC Blackpool 0 Bury 0
We played as a team instead of 6 individuals turning up for a kick about. Well done guys. Bring on June.
