Welcome to Eastwood Falcons Walking Football Club...
We’re here for players over 50 who don’t see age as a barrier to enjoying
the beautiful game. We welcome walking football players from all over Southend,
Leigh, Rayleigh, Westcliff and beyond.
We began as a small group in 2015. Several founding
players had links to the Eastwood Falcons of the
1970s and resurrected the name when EFWFC was
formalised in 2016. We exist to:
- Enjoy our football (and the banter)
- Improve and maintain fitness
- Meet people with similar interests
- Offer competitive opportunities if desired
Training is year-round and open to anyone who enjoys a kick-about regardless of skill level. Our over-50s, 60s, 65s and 70s men’s teams play in the Essex Walking Football League (EWFL) and the Walking Football National Cup with selection at the discretion of the team managers. We also have an Over 75s squad which in the current 2025 season is playing in a number of friendly tournaments ahead of a possible EWFL 75s division being launched in 2026.
Join us. For the love of the game.

Mark flies Falcons flag for England in Tokyo…
Falcon Mark Hughes picked up a silver medal playing for England Over-75s at the recent World Soccer Festa 70Plus in Tokyo – which featured national squads in groups for 70, 75 and 80+ teams.
Mark’s England squad was grouped with teams representing Germany, Japan, Taiwan and the USA (GoldenState), Taiwan. The group games saw England beat Japan 5-0, Taiwan 5-1 (including a Hughes goal), USA 4-0 (Mark on target again plus an assist); they lost 5-2 to Germany in a group game that was closer than the score suggests to set up a semi-final v Wales which England won on penalties after leading and conceding a late equaliser.
Unfortunately England had to face Germany again in the final and lost 3-0.
Mark commented: “The Germans deserved it. They are all very good, no weak players so they can revolve the whole squad continuously - which we weren’t really able to do. The German team are fully affiliated to the German FA, everything paid for with a professional manager and coach and about 6 ex-pros in the squad. It showed.”
A great achievement for yet another international on the Falcons books.
