Games between the sides were competitive but also played in a spirit of friendship and fun
Saints Walking Football in Kirkcudbright hosted a football festival against Annan Athletic at St Mary’s Park.
Before kick-off, a commemorative pennant was presented to Jacky Bell of Annan by John Winter, Saints players’ player of the year for 2023. As always in walking football, though, the results were less important than the joy of playing and good banter, which continued over sandwiches and hot drinks after the game.
Gordon Hyslop, Annan’s player-manager, who scored a fine penalty in one of the games, said: “We received top hospitality from the Kirkcudbright players. All matches were played in good spirits and we have invited Saints back to Galabank for the return fixture.”
