The club was formerly Hanslope Wanderers and we played for many seasons at Hanslope. We play in the Milton Keynes Veterans League, which is one of the largest veterans leagues in the country, and, in part, this explains the high standard of play in games. The league table can be seen at Milton Keynes Veterans League
Veterans football is open to anyone over 35 and, contrary to popular belief, players are fit and the games fast paced! To put this in to some context, think how many Premier league players and footballers in other international leagues are aged over 35 and still playing nowadays at the highest standard?
Our club is not only run to compete in the league fixtures but offers the opportunity for players of all ages and ability to join in our training sessions which will be held at the Castlethorpe pitch. If you would like to take part, send me a text on 0780 076564, saying if you just wish to join a training session or would like to join with a view to playing in league or less competitive friendly fixtures.
Our league fixtures are on the web site and will also be on the village notice boards. I will be arranging friendly fixtures during the season and on Sundays when we don’t have a league, cup or friendly match, will be when we do training.
Sunday morning games kick off at 10.30 and support will always be welcome. If you come to watch don’t be confused by our large range of kit colours! The secret is that we always play in navy shorts with a gold stripe in them! Updates on how the club is progressing through the season will be provided.
