Godalming Walking Football Club was formed in 2017, following the decision that the area needed a club for the ever popular game. After 2 successful seasons on the pitch, the club was formally set up and a Committee formed in October 2019. The club is a members club, with guests able to play at training sessions and formally invited to become members of the club.
In 2021, GWFC went from strength to strength, winning the 50+ Thames Valley League Premier title, and the Surrey FA 50+ League and League Cup, with the 60+ also winning the League Cup.
In 2022, the club built on that success even further, with Surrey County Cup wins for the 50+, 60+, 65+ and newly formed multiage team. The 50+, 60+ and Multiage teams also won their respective Surrey Leagues.
The 60+ team won the Thames Valley League at their first attempt, before the club decided to take up the new challenge of participating in the Middlesex FA Walking Football League.
For the first time both 50+ and 60+ qualified for the WFA National Finals (The last 8 in the country in what is the FA cup of walking football!) at Lilleshall in September 2022 , with our 60+team taking Runners-up spot and our 50+ remaining unbeaten on the day, which is a fantastic achievement for the club.
In 2023, success continued on the pitch, with multiple league and cup wins across both the Surrey and Middlesex FA competitions. The Gods 60+, saw national success again, winning both the WFLA National Cup and the WFLA Champions Cup. A number of individual players have gained Regional call ups to squads, with both Jim Mellish and Glenn Mitchell playing for the England WFA National sides.
With membership now over 60, the main emphasis though, continues to be, to stay healthy, play football in the right spirit and make new friends on the way. COME ON YOU GODS !
