Tri Nations Tournament
2026 heralded the inaugural Tri Nations tournament for the Over 65’s.
For the younger age groups, the tournament has traditionally been contested by the Home Nations – England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Unfortunately neither Northern Ireland nor Scotland were able to field Over 65’s teams.
But, in 2026, Northern Ireland felt able to field a ‘near 65’ team and the first Tri Nations Tournament took place.
The format for the 65’s tournament was different from the younger age groups who play the tournament over a single weekend. Wales travelled to play Northern Ireland in April and England travelled to play Wales a few weeks later. England then travelled to play Northern Ireland in early May to conclude the contest and decide the overall winner.
The teams played for the Dennis Murphy Memorial Trophy, kindly donated by Northern Ireland – Dennis was a shining light within the Welsh veterans football community. He played for Merthyr Town, scouted for Aston Villa and founded Merthyr Town Veterans Football Club back in 1987, the first veterans football club in Wales. He helped set up the Wales Veterans Football Association in 2009, became the Life, Vice-President in 2016 and was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to veterans football in Merthyr Tydfil. He represented Wales in age groups from Over 60’s to Over 75’s and took part in the Over 75’s World Cup tournament in Cardiff in 2024.
