Busy workers can now head straight from the office to the pitch now that new football sessions have kicked off in Maldon.

The new sessions will run for anyone aged 16+ from 5pm until 6pm every other Monday on the 3G pitch at The Plume School for casual kickabouts.

The sessions are part of a project to upgrade the existing ‘turn-up and play’ football sessions into a Just Place Centre, which allows people to play football without needing to commit every week or to a league.

Walking football is also coming to the town for those aged 50 and over.

The sessions will run from 5pm to 6pm on Wednesdays, also at The Plume.

To attend either session email simon.walker@maldon.gov.uk or phone 01621 854477.
