Scottish Women’s League Champions playoff, 2021 and Festival of Walking Football

Walking Football Scotland’s Board of Trustees were delighted to support Scottish Women and Girls in Sport, with the inaugural women’s competition and fun festival held at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility today (October17).

The Scottish Women’s League play-off between Jeanfield Swifts and Midlothian Ladies was played before the start of the festival which saw 10 women’s walking football teams from across the country gather to celebrate girls and women in sport.

Jeanfield Swifts were crowned Scottish champions after a 2-1 closely contested victory played in a great spirit and huge congratulations to both teams for putting on a great display of walking football.  

Vivienne MacLaren, the chair of Scottish Women’s Football joined Trustees and Guest of Honour, WFS Patron Rose Reilly, who presented the cups and medals.

A fantastic day for women in sport, a superb first for Walking Football Scotland and a celebration of walking football for women.

Aileen Campbell CEO of Scottish Women’s Football said:

“Football is a fantastic sport and absolutely every girl and woman, regardless of age or stage, should know it’s a game for them. We are so inspired by what Walking Football Scotland are doing - they are providing great football opportunities to women who get the chance to not only be active, but also enjoy all the camaraderie and wellbeing improvements that sport brings. Have a fabulous time, good luck and let’s all work hard to keep flying the flag for women’s football in Scotland.” 

Gary McLaughlin chair of WFS said:

“I am so proud to be here today for the inaugural Women’s walking football event, this has been a major ambition for the Board of Trustees and to have delivered such a great event, motivates us all to better grow the sport.

WFS understands the importance of sport and physical activity for women and girls in Scotland and the positive impact that has on their physical, mental and social well-being. Playing sport and in our case football from early years, through teenage years, into adulthood and now because of our slower paced game, into our later life stages. Walking football allows us to have Football for Life. The presence of so many women here today, is inspiring and I am sure will motivate other girls and women to be active “.

Congratulations to all the participants and our guests and we look forward to the seeing the continued growth of women in sport after such a successful day.

CPR & Defibrillator Training

During the Euro football match last week, we were all impressed at the superb response by the medical teams to ensure Danish player Christian Eriksen survived a potentially life-threatening cardiac arrest and we wish him a full and speedy recovery.
Before Covid-19, St John Scotland offered all WFS affiliated groups the opportunity of CPR and Defibrillator training however due to the pandemic this has been on hold but will hopefully be offered again in the future.
Whilst hands on training is currently unavailable, the following videos offer advice on how to perform these essential life-saving skills and we encourage all groups to share with all their participants.

UEFA Euro2020 Celebration of Walking Football

Walking Football Scotland chair Gary McLaughlin with Trustee Matt Ramsay (who helped organise the event) and the Euro2020 Trophy.

The Lord Provost of Glasgow, Philip Braat opened the walking football festival at the Toryglen Regional Football Centre on June 2, as he welcomed the Henri Delaunay Trophy as part of the UEFA EURO2020 Trophy Tour. 

Gary McLaughlin, Chairman of Walking Football Scotland, and Billy Garrett, Director of Sport and Events, Glasgow Life were among the invited guests alongside former Scotland players Darren Jackson and Stuart McCall. 

Also part of the celebration were some 80 walking football players from around Glasgow and everyone got the opportunity to have their photograph taken with the trophy. 

Sadly, Coronavirus’ level restrictions had limited the participation to Glasgow players only, however, a fantastic morning of walking football was shared by all, full of fun and re-kindling the camaraderie and friendships that has been missing during so much of the pandemic. The event saw many walking football players getting the chance to see friends they have not been able to see for over a year. 

Gary said: “You could feel the excitement at the venue and taking part in the celebration of walking football and being part of the UEFA EURO 2020 celebrations, was just extra special. Everyone was well looked after and it is another step closer to getting together as we try and deal with this terrible virus.” 

Walking Football Scotland would like to thank the Lord Provost, Glasgow Sport and the UEFA Euro2020 committee for their hospitality and for hosting such a wonderful event and for raising the temperature and our hopes for a successful outcome for the Scotland National team.

Scottish Government Protective Levels

Update on the impact of the Scottish Government Protective Levels on walking football across Scotland.

The restrictions themselves began at 6am on Monday November 2 and will be reviewed on a three weekly cycle thereafter. However, the Local Authority COVID Protection Levels are to be reviewed weekly so the situation in each local authority has the potential to change from week to week.

These restrictions are in place to keep us safe and to lessen the impact on the NHS.

All play must have Covid-19 Protocols and guidelines in place.

Adult football, unfortunately, is still not permitted within level 3 or 4 areas, out with the existing professional exemptions – although non-contact training is allowed.

NOTE FOR NON-CONTACT:

Non - Contact training for over 18 years in a Local Authority, where contact sports/football is not permitted.

Although, we are promoting people remaining physically active throughout this period. Please remember:

  • Coach led sessions are permitted as long as they stay physically distant.

  • A maximum of 18 players and a maximum of 4 coaches are permitted.

  • Please remember hygiene measures should be adhered to all times.

  • Please always adhere to local authority travel advice, and of course, any activity must be non-contact.

Please have a look at the attached simplified version of Walking Football Scotland framework for play, but please read the full documents and links below:
