    Of course a massive tournament like the FA People's Cup can't take place without lots of help, so we say a massive 'HERE, HERE' to this message from the University of Manchester.

    Well done to all of the volunteers and referees who have helped out at all of the venues around the country.

    Billy Ray Mansell was taking part in his first competitive tournament in a disability sport today.

    Suffering with Fibromyalgia, external, Billy Ray admitted "It's been a struggle but with a couple of training sessions under my belt, seven months of a multi-disciplinary approach off medication, daily dedication to day-to-day management of my health and training with graded exercise.

    He was "honoured" to play for Southend Soccability FC in Southend and, though they sadly didn't make it through, he was happy with the win they got and he even scored a few goals.

    "I am more than happy!" he said.

    Well done Billy.

    Time then for a bit more of a look back on what has been happening earlier today.....

    Sale Madrid put another goal past Largentina making it 2-0 - the final score.

    That was the end of their debut in the competition then, but you'll be able to see their full story in the FA People's Cup first-round highlights programme on the Red Button and online next Saturday, 3 March.

    Great tactics from Largentina but they find themselves 1-0 down and can't break through the stubborn Sale Madrid defence.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:51 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    BBC Get Inspired reporter at the venues

    A 2-2 draw with Newton-le-Willows Friday (as opposed to Newton-le-Willows Masters, who were also in the same Male Veterans category in Manchester) in their opening game was followed by a 3-2 win over The Pilferers, which left an all-to-play-for final game against Sale Madrid.

    It started off well.....

    Meet Largentina - one of the teams who we will be featuring in the FA People's Cup first-round highlights programme on Saturday, 3 March.

    They're part of the Man v Fat, external football scheme which helps people lose weight through football.

    Some have suffered depression in the past but the scheme has given them drive and motivation and some have lost over 40kg.

    Here's how they got on this afternoon, courtesy of our pitchside reporter.....
