Bishops take on Red Neighbours' walking football team

The bishops travelled to Anfield Sports and Community Centre to go head-to-head with a Red Neighbours squad that included LFC legends Ian Callaghan and Roy Evans.

Led by Red Neighbours team member Bill Bygroves, the morning consisted of a high-tempo warm-up with stretching, followed by a series of dribbling drills and competitive games.

“It’s been a while since I’ve played football, but I’ve really enjoyed it today,” said Evans. “It’s great to see so many people here. You can see how much these sessions mean to the local men who come each week.”

After the final whistle, the teams headed inside for a cup of tea, a slice of cake and a catch-up – and there was even the chance for the bishops to have their photo taken with the prestigious Champions League trophy.
