Hosts win Chester Nomads tournament

The Wales Veterans' Football Association accepted an invitation to send an o55s squad to take part in a Chester Nomads Veterans tournament at their Boughton Hall Ground in Chester.
With a long list of injuries and unavailability, Wales sent a small squad on the long journey north to Cheshire and they experienced mixed fortunes. They drew with England in their first game, but lost 2-0 to a ‘younger’ hosts team in their second game. Wales also lost 1-0 to a ‘much younger’ Scotland team in a play-off match, whilst the hosts, and eventual winners, defeated England on penalties in the final.

Congratulations to everyone who took part in a festival of football, and especially Mark Dyke, who was chosen as Wales’ player of the tournament.
