    #PeoplesCup

    This afternoon's Adult Male teams will include  Akinfenwa's Munch Bunch in Bournemouth who are very much keeping it in the family, with three sets of brothers in the line up!

    Acording to team captain Jamie, the players include:

    Simon and Steve Buckland , local business owners originally from London.

    Sam and Mathew Thoday from Surrey

    Jamie and Anthony Coleman who were born in Weymouth.

    Lets hope there's no sibling rivalry on the pitch today!

    We have followed Poole Town Wessex A around a bit today.

    Here they are after their last match of the day, a 3-0 victory.

    Sadly they didn't make it out of the group stage today, despite winning three games and losing only one.

    AFC Bournemouth and Dexter Sport Youth - who topped their respective groups - were competing in today's Disability final.

    Thanks to Carl from the Bradford Refugee Forum for sending us this photo.

    He runs sports sessions for asylum seekers and refugees in Bradford and says:

    "Running these sessions helps maintain health and wellbeing, introducing new friends. 

    "Some of our players had not played football for a number of years as they travelled to the UK, until taking part in these sessions."

    Good luck to the teams:  Collective Vision , Bradford Vision and Syria !
