    Right at the end of today's action, we've just got time to congratulate Retro Rovers A on their victory in their Walking Football category.

    We'll see you in the semi-finals!

    Keep watching this video until the end. There's a great interview with Jan, who runs Retro Rovers and we have mentioned a few times today.

    It brings a tear to my eye.

    Win the title last year? Check.

    Vote of no confidence this year? Check.

    Coach sacked? Check. 

    Team-mates jumping ship? Check.

    No we're not talking about Claudio Ranieri...

    Following 6-0, 6-0, 7-0, 8-0 defeats  Boys from Nancy  have sacked their manager.

    You might recognise David, the club's captain. He's a star of TV and stage, external . Think Doctor Who, Silent Witness, W1A.

    How has Dave Scotney and his Boston United walking football teams got on this afternoon? 

    They're coming into the People's Cup off the back of a first tournament win in Grantham last week, where one of their teams won all six matches.

    Have they managed to take that form into their group in Peterborough today? Let us know, Dave!

    This is Jan Milner who runs the fantastic Retro Rovers teams - both of which have reached the Walking Football final in Doncaster today!

    She's written a brilliant poem about how the sport has turned her life around, we think you'll enjoy it...

    "Football is the people's game"

    Mike Bushell went to meet Jan recently to find out more about how she returned to football after health problems seemed to mean the end of her playing days.
