    Seasiders safely through

    AFC Blackpool Senior SeasidersAFC Blackpool Senior Seasiders

    Congratulations to AFC Blackpool Senior Seasiders - winners in Blackpool and through to the next stage of the FA People's Cup.

    Find out more about how walking football helped their skipper - retired PE and head teacher Steve Hyde - here.

  3. Bad luck, Brett

    Woe for Brett G , whose team failed to win a match today.

    On reflection, the sausage-heavy breakfast (see 10:40 entry) and subsequent hot-tub (14:05) possibly weren't the best preparation. Still, he's feeling upbeat...

  4. Evening kick off

    #PeoplesCup

    It may be nearly over for most, but for some it's just about to begin!

    Don't worry, we're here right till the very end so keep sending us your selfies, goals and trophy shots!

    #PeoplesCup

    Now, we've mentioned these guys a couple of times throughout the afternoon, but those of you who saw the Battling Fat Lads action shot (15:38) probably couldn't see their kit in full glory.

    Well, here you go!

    The lads are raising money for the Oddballs Foundation, a charity that promotes awareness of, and treats, testicular cancer.
