About Bury Relics

Bury Relics, formed in 2017, provide both community and competitive walking football for people from the Bury area and beyond. Community walking football is provided for the over 50’s and The Relics have four teams in the Greater Manchester Walking Football League, two over 60’s teams, an over 65’s team, and an over 70’s team.

The community sessions, hosted by Bury Relics players, are held at Castle Leisure Centre Bury. These sessions are open to players of all ages and abilities, men and women, including players with learning difficulties, handicaps and health issues.

Players invited and interested in playing competitive walking football will become part of the Bury Relics squad. The Relics squad players initially participated in the training session at Castle Leisure Centre, with additional training sessions introduced in 2018 at Radcliffe Borough FC on their outside astro turf pitches.

The additional training sessions at Radcliffe Borough proved an immediate hit with the players and contributed to the team’s successes in the GMWFL Spring 2019 season

Competitive Football

The competitive Relics teams play in the Greater Manchester Walking Football league. The standard of play is higher and more intense than our community sessions and so requires a certain degree of ability, tactical awareness and fitness.

Social & Other Events

It’s not all football with the Bury Relics, there is a great social side too with end of season social events, curry nights and golf days.
