    Lovely sentiment from Abdullah here.

    Surely that guy on the left should be playing for WZG?!

    And we're all done here in Manchester. Instant Noodles come out on top against Up The Said and are on their way to St George's Park for the Finals.

    It ended 2-2 at full-time, with Instant Noodles winning 5-4 in a tense penalty shoot-out.

    Super Sunday ✨

    Such a brilliant day watching the semi finals of the #FAPeoplesCup, external.

    St John’s Ladies Deaf Football FC were an absolute joy to watch. Their team work was effortless and beautiful to witness. They even gave their opponents, Kent Ladies, a member of their own team because they were a player down.

    Thanks to Kempston FC for being brilliant hosts. From the free cups of tea to the heavenly aura of their burgers & pies!

    #FAPeoplesCup , externalis football at its best. Team work, passion, everyone welcome and everyone having a reet good time.Bring on the finals!

    I thought WZG were the best team I’ve seen all day at Peterborough but Ball Park showed up in the final.

    Energy, great goalkeeping and a whole load of skill, especially the third goal (see below - it's well worth a watch!) in their 4-0 victory.

    Deservedly off to St George’s Park.

    gr75 Bad day at the office at the #FAPeoplesCup for the @coatsandgoalposts familia.

    Even this Escher-esque new goalkeeper kit didn't manage to confuse the opposition enough.

  14. GREAT SAVES!published at 16:52 Greenwich Mean Time 24 March 2019

    BBC Get Inspired reporter at the venues

    The goalkeepers are starting to come out on top here in Peterborough.

    These are two great saves from the EVO and Ball Park 'keepers.

    It wasn't enough for EVO, however, as they are knocked out.

    WZG overcome T.G.O.C and Ball Park beat Team Energy in the semi-finals in Peterborough so here are your finalists:

    • WZG v Ball Park

  15. Has anyone got a spare keeper?published at 16:47 Greenwich Mean Time 24 March 2019

    We have a team at the University of Sussex who are a great bunch of guys who are all part of the Geography Society at the University and have formed ABCDE FC (aka 'Team Name FC'). They all come from different backgrounds but the one thing they want to do more than anything is just enjoy the beautiful game.

    Their captain got injured in the warm up of the first round by rolling his ankle trying to take a back heel pen and couldn’t play the rest of the round so he is coming back from injury. Now their keeper has broken his wrist so they are in search of a super-sub goalkeeper.

    The guys will be action next weekend (there's a late venue in their category) but could we see them at St George's Park for Finals weekend in April?

    Almost the cheekiest goal you’ll see all weekend.

    The Ball Park striker has his back to goal and attempts to backheel it in but a great recovery from the Galanate United keeper denies him.

    A tight game ends 2-2.
