WITH the increasing opportunity of older people being involved in sport, eight Thornbury over 50s travelled up to Tewkesbury to play in the FA Gloucester Super Vets end of season tournament.

The team came a respectable second in their division, winning one, drawing one and losing one narrowly and missing out on playing in the final.

They hope to enter a team in the league next season playing a monthly fixture.

The team were sponsored by local Responsible Landlord.uk.com.
