Now this is what the FA People's Cup is all about!
None of those fancy clipboards or folders with sheets of different positions to give individual players.
Keeping the tactics simple in Gateshead...

There was some added colour and style to this kit yesterday in the Adult Female games.
We hope this isn't the last time we see a tie-dyed kit.

From Vegas to London to Liverpool?published at 14:09 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2019
#FAPeoplesCup
This is a brilliant story from Paul and Thomas Hodgkins, who are playing for the 'London to Liverpool' team in the Adult Male category.
Image source, Paul Hodgkins
Two of the squad members were 'warm weather training' (that's me and my youngest son Thomas Hodgkins on holiday!) in Las Vegas and didn't arrive back to UK until less than 24 hours ago! So the goalkeeper and key defender are both going to be pretty jet lagged although perversely, that actually might help us to play better!!
Above is a photo of the two of us at the Grand Canyon. Although, it's not actually that warm!
