Paddington Games Bear Fruit For Orient!

12 Mar by Trevor Ridley

Newly formed Paddington Walking FC invited Leyton Orient Walking FC to play at their indoor facility in Maida Vale on Wednesday 5th March. Though newly formed, Paddington’s team featured players who had played for Chelsea and London Irish walking football teams.

Six games were played by the Orient’s seven man squad against Paddington’s far larger group of players. Games were refereed in a “robust” manner with tackling from the front and the 3 touch rules both being used.

Though unfamiliar with such a format and playing indoors on an hard surface, Orient completed the day unbeaten with no goals conceded. Results:

Paddington 0 v 1 Leyton Orient (Okocha).
Paddington 0 v 0 Leyton Orient.
Paddington 0 v 1 Leyton Orient (Okocha).
Paddington 0 v 0 Leyton Orient.
Paddington 0 v 1 Leyton Orient (Okocha).
Paddington 0 v 4 Leyton Orient (Okocha 2, Cox, Mullins).

A very satisfying set of results for Orient! Paddington were welcoming hosts and Orient hope to invite them to Wadham Lodge for a return fixture soon.

Leyton Orient squad: David James (Gk), Paul Weston (Cpt), Peter Rains, Alan Cox, Mick Mullins, Andrew Okocha, Adam Rohm.

Goalscorers: Okocha 5, Cox, Mullins.
