    Hard luck lads, you win some and you lose some. Safe journey home and thanks for the updates!

  5. GREAT SAVE!published at 12:41 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2016

    Nice use of the legs by the High Storrs Under-16 keeper in Nottingham...

    As I mentioned earlier, a top 'keeper is just as important as the glory-taking goalscorers in these matches.

    Nick in Perth, Western Australia: Not sure how this will be construed, but...

    This competition is what football is all about, no million dollar stars, just people who see the game for what it is and play it accordingly.

    I congratulate each and every team for their participation, YOU are what ​makes this game great!

    I see one sponsor in the news articles and that is the BBC, if there are more, kudos to them.

    As for the Beeb, never thought I would be lauding your initiative, this you have done right.

    I am half way around the world in Perth Western Australia but my interest is as much as the FA CUP.

  8. Why do you love football?published at 12:35 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2016

    Here are Roisin and Ellie - who are coached by the University of Warwick Women's Football team - to explain why they love it.

    We're a bit scared of Roisin's competitiveness!

    The University of Warwick Women's Football team are playing in the Adult women's category this afternoon, kicking off at 14:00. More on them later!

    Sent the keeper the wrong way!

    We've just told you a little bit about Positive Futures Gainsborough (see below) and here they are in action!

  11. Positive Futures Gainsboroughpublished at 12:29 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2016

    The Positive Futures Gainsborough team was set up as part of a scheme to help tackle anti-social behaviour. 

    A Positive Futures League is an affordable way for young people to play football and the Gainsborough Under 16 team have been attending for over a year. 

    Since the scheme began anti-social behaviour has fallen in the area - a success story all round!

    The team will compete today in the U16 boys category in Nottingham.

    Get Involved - Your greatest five-aside momentpublished at 12:12 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2016

    #PeoplesCup

    We also want to hear from those of you not competing today.

    We want you to tell us your greatest five-aside moment, which leads us perfectly to my own personal highlight, a 42-0 victory (in a 40 minute match) for Stumble Inn against local rivals Stumble Out.

    As a goalkeeper I won’t bore you with a breakdown of each save, but will add the clean sheet was crucial for our goal difference.

    Milton Keynes FC have given it a good go with their 22-2 scoreline today but can you beat it?
