Pershore Plums returned to Claines Lane on the 29th July 2026. It was yet another hot and humid day - not ideal conditions to be playing competitive football in. Both clubs fielded two teams, with a few players sportingly changing allegiances to make up numbers. All of the players got stuck in and, despite the heat, all of the matches were closely contested. The after match refreshments, including an excellent buffet spread, were well earned. We look forward to the next away encounter with the Plums.

Movers and Shakers FC were invited to play at the inaugural Steve Moore Walking Football Tournament, hosted at the WBA FC Academy.

The team were represented by Richard Vaughan-Hawkins, Alan Nokes, Gary Blackman, Ian Haydon, Paul Brooks, Paul Brown, Robert Pearce, Finlay Clarke and Wayne Poulton.

The tournament was well organised and teams with a variety of conditions were playing. Movers and Shakers were the only Parkinson's team - and not the youngest of the teams represented - and out of the seven games they played, the team won one match and drew two, finishing sixth from eight. A great effort!

Thanks to connections made on the day, the team have been invited to play Arsenal FC later this year.

On 15th November 2025, Movers and Shakers entered a strong team in the annual Peoples Ford Parkinson's Walking Football Tournament in Glasgow. Out of 16 teams entered, we finished in joint 3rd place, our highest position yet in a competition and only beaten by the eventual winners. Well done captain Gary Blackham and team!

After many months hard work and effort by our committee members Chris and Robert Pearce, Movers and Shakers FC was finally registered as Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 10th June 2024, Registered Charity Number 1208593. Well done team!

For the fourth year running, we will be off to St George's Park on Saturday April 2025 to play in the Cure Parkinson's Cup competition. We go to do the best we can, whilst sticking to our principles of inclusivity and friendship.
