The tournament is being held at Northgate School and in support of Prostate Cancer UK, with funds raised going to this very worthwhile cause. Spectators are very welcome, come along, enjoy the football, support the teams and help us raise as much as possible for Prostate Cancer UK.

Walking football teams from across Norfolk will come together in Dereham next weekend to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK.

On a perfect summer afternoon, with the bar open and the sun shining, the club came together to enjoy wonderful food, great company and plenty of laughter. Carl and Glenys worked tirelessly at the barbecue, cooking the meat to perfection, while members contributed an impressive array of delicious salads, side dishes and accompaniments that made for a truly memorable feast. The dessert table was equally spectacular, offering a tempting selection of homemade treats that ensured nobody left hungry.

A game of rounders provided plenty of entertainment, although it may be fair to say that the bar had a noticeable influence on some performances!

It was a fantastic afternoon that perfectly captured the spirit of the club: good food, good friends and good fun. We're already looking forward to doing it all again next year!

Norwich Soca Seniors Charity Tournament 2026

Dereham Dribblers entered an over 50s team in this annual charity event, this year in aid of Age UK Norwich and British Heart Foundation.
Well, what a day!
A massive learning for all the team, for most their 1st tournament.
We were up against some very strong teams in our league of 5, including Norwich and Chelsea!
Everyone put in 100% but we were up against teams that had obviously played many tournaments and were next level up.
That said, we performed well against Norwich for our 1st match, even with a 3-0 loss, we had opportunities but with a few 1st match nerves!
2nd game against Beccles, another strong team, a 1–1 draw, we started getting it together a bit better and settled.
The less said of the 3rd game the better, 6-1 loss against HCSP England and we just switched off, but again a very strong team who capitalised around the box!
Last game against Chelsea saw a great effort and we were probably the better team. Some tough referee decisions didn’t go our way and we lost a player with a red card, penalty to Chelsea which they scored. Down to 5 men for the last 1/2 but we dug deep and held to a 1-0 loss.
A massive well done to all 9 players, the start of a great 50+ team, with other player options at Dribblers who would be great at the next tournament….bring it on 💪🏻

BREAKING NEWS FROM THE BOWL

After weeks of intensive washing-up bowl training, questionable flotation tests and absolutely no regard for sporting dignity, Bobbing Moore is ready to take on the mighty Swanton Morley Duck Race and Fete at the end of the month.

Make no mistake, Bobbing Moore is going for glory and will be doing it in style, proudly wearing his Dereham Dribbler’s kit, expertly painted by Rosie and Maura.

Come along and cheer him on as he attempts to float with authority, drift into space, wobble under pressure, spin helplessly after the slightest contact and somehow still claim it was all part of the game plan, a skillset our Chairman has very generously agreed to lend him for race day.

Bring your support and bring belief, because football had Bobby Moore, duck racing has Bobbing Moore!

It’s bobbing home!

Swanton Morley Duck Race and Fete
Saturday 27 June: 12:00 to 4:30 pm

Tuesday's REPORT from Swanton Morley Stadium

2 Blues v Yellows 3

Another record attendance as 19 players signed up for Tuesday's session in glorious spring sunshine. Hopefully the larger pitch will be available very soon to cater for the increase in numbers.

In a very evenly matched contest, Yellows were first to show and deservedly went ahead when Craig's accurate pass from a kick in found Jon who struck a clean shot past the Blues keeper. David P made it 2-0 soon after as Yellows ended the first period in control.

Blues stepped up a gear in the second period and following a succession of corners finally made one count when Ian set up Stevie G who struck a first time shot past the keeper to reduce the arrears. David D, returning from a long injury lay off then scored a neat equalizer to leave the match all square at the end of the second period.

The teams could not be separated during period three as both teams tried to conjure up a winner. Just as the game was heading for a draw an unfortunate misdirected pass fell at the feet of Andrew C and rebounded into the Blues net to hand Yellows a 3-2 victory.

POTM = David D

We had an amazing turnout of 23 players last night (our highest attendance yet) taking part in a 4-team round robin tournament. It was fantastic to see so many players involved, with every team competing in great spirit and making the most of their time on the pitch.

Even the weather could not stop us. The first five minutes of driving hail was laughed off and everyone got stuck in. After the dramatic start, the session turned into a really enjoyable evening of walking football, teamwork and friendship.

Our Tuesday morning sessions have also been very well attended throughout this year, which is another sign of the enthusiasm and commitment within the group. The club continues to go from strength to strength and it is great to see so many people enjoying the sessions, keeping active and supporting one another.
