  2. Drum roll

    #FAPeoplesCup

    These guys in the Adult Males category in Manchester have just got confirmation of their call-up from the gaffer.

  10. It's catching

    #FAPeoplesCup

    We saw how crossing sports was successful for the girls from Wockey in the University Females category last year.

  11. VAR? Goal Line technology?

    #FAPeoplesCup

    The discussion goes on: are you VAR in or VAR out?

    There was a close call in the Under 14's final in Birmingham between Caludon Castle and Hinckley Town Juniors.

    If only we had goal-line technology!
