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.
LATEST NEWS...
Over 60s: Falcons stalemate as goals hard to come by...
Goals were scarce for our 60s squads on the May 13 matchday – including a stalemate in the clash between our Yellows and Blues.
Yellows picked up a win, 2 draws and a defeat on the day though probably could have done better if ref decisions had gone differently. Things are tight at the top of the table (pictured) and Yellows remain firmly in the mix; details here. Blues couldn’t find the target and ended the day with two scoreless draws and two defeats; details here.
Tough day for Over 65s...
Just one point between the two squads was all we could muster on April 29. Yellows picked up a draw versus Grays but lost both their other matches by the odd goal and had what looked like decent goals disallowed. A threadbare squad of six acquitted themselves well. Details here
Blues lost all three games and were sunk by a penalty in each of the first two games; they created chances in each game but couldn’t convert on the day. Details here.
Over 70s: More points on the board; Yellows resolute in defence...
Both our 70s squads picked up points on May 6. Yellows notched 5 points from 9 on an unbeaten morning without a goal conceded. Details here. Blues fell to two defeats but rallied to a 1-0 win over Romford at the end of the matchday. Details here.
Cheers to training days…
Tuesday training has added an important new fitness element with the bar at the Len Forge Centre now open for drinks immediately afterwards.
The clubhouse is now available to Falcons as the nursery has relocated to a different facility at LFC. The club celebrated with a free drink for members after training on April 22 which, unsurprisingly, saw a great turnout (pictured). Hopefully this will add a regular socialising element to our weekly activities.
Over 50s: No joy up front...
Our over-50s endured a frustrating matchday on May 17 when, in spite of quality passing and movement in each game, they couldn’t find the back of the net, losing two games to Chelmsford and Blackmore and just picking up the one point in a scoreless draw with Concord.
