On Sunday 25th February at Wadham Lodge, Leyton Orient Walking FC women took on Paringdon Pirates women in a series of pre-season friendlies as a warm up for the Essex Women’s Walking Football League season that kicks off on Saturday 9th March.

In the first game of the day Orient started slowly against a strong Paringdon team. Orient were finding it difficult to make any headway against the opposition and were mainly pinned in their own half. Final score: Leyton Orient 0 v 3 Paringdon Pirates.

Orient put in a far better performance in their second game. This saw Orient much more on the front foot closing down and pressing high. A fine goal my Ahlhstrom secured the win. Final score: Paringdon Pirates 0 v 1 Leyton Orient (Alhstrom).

The third game and another good performance by Orient with with good passing movements. A solid defence saw Orient marking tightly and going forward with purpose and intent. Final score: Paringdon Pirates 1 v 2 Leyton Orient (Selner, OG)

The final game of the day and both teams struggled with the bitter conditions took it’s toll and both sides cancelled each other out although Orient had the better chances of winning.
