End of twitter postThe first goal of the higher education session at Leeds Trinity University earlier this week was a belter from TitansRL .
Maybe not quite Falcao-esque - but as well-executed a chip as any man in a skin-tight hot-pink outfit is likely to achieve in this year's FA People's Cup.

Nottingham Medics are indeed smashing it.

Excellent niche footballer team name from Rene Howe FC who are competing in the Under-16 Boys category Northampton...
They named themselves after their favourite Kettering Town striker and have been friends since the age of seven.
Two of the team-mates have some personal reasons why they are taking part.
Football has been important for Aaron since he was a young child and is looking to show people how he has stood up to bullies at school while Oscar has always struggled with learning difficulties and football has only been his outlet where he can act himself and enjoy himself.
Good luck to the team.
Remember all teams can let us know how they are getting on on Twitter at #PeoplesCup.

Yep. That's right.

Magic Youth were set up bu Mo Helem and are competing the the Under-14 Boys category at PlayFootball Shepherd's Bush.
They were formed as way to keep their players off the streets, provide them with the chance to play sport and give the opportunity to aim for a professional club in the future.
"They all know how I’ve grown up, I didn’t make all the best choices growing up but learnt from my mistakes and able to pass on my wisdom so they don’t make my mistakes," Mo says.
Good luck to them!

Weather set fairpublished at 18:43 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2017
Storm Doris mercifully passed over before this weekend's main event, although perhaps not-so-mercifully for some of the hardy souls who were playing early through gales yesterday.
(Incidentally, why can't low-pressure systems get by these days without a pet name? I remember when a storm was just that - a storm. Maybe I'm getting old.)
Anyway... the weather's looking OK across England for those playing outdoors this evening. Snow is confined to Scotland, so it's just Cloudy Nigel in the west and Clear Skies Monica further east. Boom boom.
You can check your local forecast here.

Good luck to both Epping Forest Falcons Black and Epping Forest Falcons Greens at Goals Chingford this evening in the Under-14 category.
They've both gone for the trusty 2-1-2-1 formation.
I heard Jude is excellent in the hole behind the striker.
