History
In 2014, Mark Grazier led a training session for just four colleagues as the Strollers were born. Named after the Hartshill area of Dudley, the slow start did nothing to distract Grazier, who has seen the club continue to grow ever since. Hartshill is now a leading force in walking football, following success in regional and national cup competitions over the years.
Hartshill expanded the ranks to include a Women’s section led by Jay Adams which continues to go from strength to strength and a weekly Healthwise session, at a slower and safer pace, for anyone living with a health condition or recovering from injury.
Mission

Hartshill 2-0 Coleshill
Good solid performance by the boys today, strollers started with with John Cooper between the sticks as Tony is unwell barely having a save to make due to the resolute defending. At the other end deadly Derek Hamilton scored twice as the strollers eased Coleshill out of the game and take all three points. Some nice passages of football played today the squad growing in confidence game by game, well done boys

Strollers were under pressure straight away with a very organised and talented Shrewsbury
We weathered the storm and started to progress up the field only for a shot that roger pushed onto the bar to rebound back into his head and into our goal
0-1 halftime
Second half started much of the same with Shrewsbury pressing
Then a break away left foxy one on one with the keeper
He did everything right
Sat the keeper down and lifted the ball over to see it hit the bar and come out
Then Shrewsbury went down the other end and fired a rocket into our net
0-2
At this point we re struggling with a few knocks and pulls while They rotate players
Another spin on the edge and of our box results in another goal
0-3
The strollers are up against it now
We decide to change tactics and put gray up with foxy
Game changer
Straight away we a higher up the pitch and Mahdi gets to the byline and pulls the ball back for foxy to tap in
1-3
Danny who has now pushed up higher o. Midfield then plays a ball into the edge of the area for foxy to divert past their keeper
2-3
Mahdi ever the problem for them then turns a all into him past their keeper
3-3
Mahdi got sent off for the last two mins but we held out for a deserved draw
Shrewsbury were inconsolable
Thanks to the hartshill magnificent seven
Well done lads
Brilliant result
