Here’s the weekly summary of this weeks games in Cheltenham:

It was great to welcome 🔵 Josh to the club, great goal on his debut 💪 we look forward to supporting him on his personal goals.

We will all miss ⚪️ Naeem, he’s been a great player for us at MvFF Cheltenham, playing for our 11 a side team as well as our weekly games, his two biggest strengths are with the ball at his feet, and his ability to almost be late! Thanks for being part of the community Nas, good luck in Cardiff, you’re welcome to stay in the unofficial chat so you can turn up almost late to any socials if you’re in Cheltenham.

Between us we lost another 4kg, taking the total loss this season so far to 25.4kg, great consistency 👏

Loser of the week was ⚪️ Ryan T who came to weigh, but understandably not play after his half marathon run on Sunday, was raising money for charity.

5 Hat tricks were scored at the scales this week by ⚫️ Chris 🔵 James R
🔴 Mark 🔴 Tom 🔴Wes, these hat tricks all earn an extra goal for their teams.

The total off pitch goals for weight loss and tracking for each team were:
⚫️ Black Puddings - 3
🔵 Blue Mondays - 3
⚪️ Egg Fried Whites- -1
🔴 Lardies in Red - 6

MOTMs this week:

⚪️ Black Pudding MOM is - ⚫️ James P, a menace throughout the game, comfortable on the ball and leadership of his team.

🔴 MOTM for the Blues,🔵 Josh, thought he made a great start and scored a great goal.

⚫️ Blacks went with ⚪️ TOM, always a goal threat and some ruthless finishing

🔵 Blues have voted 🔴 Mark for the reds for our MoM. Made some excellent saves and difficult to score against!

Have a great week all!

I’m sure a few of our Man v Fat Football Cheltenham team will run it next year, it seems a long way to go from not running to a 10k or half, especially without a ball to chase, but with determination and hard work, it’s possible 💪

Thanks for hosting us today, we thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality and the game, good luck in the replay 🤞

An injury time goal from Ethan Dunbar secured a dramatic late draw for The Mitres in a thrilling The Emirates FA Cup tie 🙏

Safe journey home to Laverstock & Ford Sports Club and we look forward to the replay at yours on Tuesday ⚽️

Hey lads, it's National Walking Day! Time to step up your game with the cheapest and easiest workout around. No fancy equipment needed, just grab your trainers and hit the pavement.
