Wales lose out to a youthful Huntington!

By Alun Huish

Huntington Town o50 2, Wales o60s 0 Saturday 16th August 2025 @St Ives football FC

The Wales Veterans' Football Association accepted an invitation from Huntington Town to take an o60s Representative squad to face the hosts at St Ives football club in Cambridgeshire....

The first half ended all-square with both sides sharing possession and goal-mouth incident, but in the second period the younger hosts controlled the match and their greater fitness and mobility was significant and they ran out 2-0 winners...
