What a thrilling end to the first round of the FA People's Cup!
From dancing mascots, to outrageous goals, to questionable chocolate breakfasts, it's safe to say we've had it all.
Well done to all the teams who made it through to the next round and commiserations to those who missed out.
We'll be back covering the second round on the 24th and 25th of March and we hope you'll be there to join us again.
To finish off we've put together some of the best action from today's games from all across the country.
Enjoy.

Keeping on the parents theme, this has just been brought to our attention. I don't think calling it a 'dire performance' is going to help you!
Dad, we take full blame for this. Give her some tea!
