The World Masters Games may have finished but the Greystanes over-35 soccer players will play on. After all, they've been kicking a football around together for more than 25 years. They started as sub-teens and have stayed together through all the age groups, winning premierships along the way. They didn't win gold at the Games they took silver after losing a penalty shootout to a Newcastle team that drew players from everywhere. No matter there should be many games ahead.
