THE boys from Wellington Walking Football Club have taken part in their annual Christmas Hats versus Christmas Jumpers match for charity.

This year's charity was Coppafest which raises awareness of early detection of of breast cancer in young men nd women.

It was a very close match at Taunton Vale Sports Centre with Hats winning by the odd goal - a great way to start the celebrations of Christmas.

A big 'thank you' goes to everyone who took part in the game.

*Walking football is a modified version of traditional football. The game was designed to minimise the risk of injury and make football accessible for people with mobility issues.

The fundamentals of walking football will be pretty familiar to anyone who has ever played or watched a game of football. While the ultimate objective is to score more goals than the opposition, there are a few clear differences.

Players must not run or jog at any time. If two feet leave the floor at the same time, the opposition is awarded a free-kick.

Walking football is predominantly a non-contact sport. While there will inevitably be a little contact, players aren’t allowed to tackle, nudge, push or jostle. The playing area is smaller than traditional football pitches.
