🔥⚽ SEASON 28 | GAMEWEEK 2 MAN OF THE MATCH! ⚽🔥

Six teams, six stand-out performances and six lads who absolutely earned their recognition! 🏆👏 Let's give our latest MOTM winners the credit they deserve!

⬛️ IAN PARKES | HARDLY ATHLETIC
💪 Consistent, hardworking and giving it everything for the team. Ian continues to lead by example, putting in the hard yards and showing exactly what it means to wear the armband! 👏

🟨 JOSH SMITH | JOGA BURRITO
😂 "He was here, he was there, he was fu***ng everywhere!"
No further explanation needed! Josh was absolutely everywhere on the pitch, causing problems, covering ground and making himself impossible to ignore. The opposition must have been dizzy trying to keep up! 🏃‍♂️💨

🟥 NICK HENRY | RB LARGERPIG
🧱 A strong defensive performance from Nick, but he wasn't content just sitting back! Solid at the back and making those late runs into the box to support the attacks. A proper all-round contribution! 👊

⬜️ STEVE FOSTER | CALORINTHIANS
🚧 THE WALL AT THE HEART OF THE WHITES' DEFENCE!
Steve used his commanding presence and physical strength to break up attacks and frustrate the opposition. Getting past him was no easy task! 🧱💥

🟦 ANDREW AITCHINSON | TSG SCOFFENHEIM
🗣️ Great communication throughout, keeping everyone organised and helping the team tick over. Sometimes the work that keeps a team functioning is just as important as the goals, and Andrew delivered! 👏⚽

🟩 DAN LOVE | FOUR ROASTS GREEN FC
🎯 Composure up top and a clinical finish to the job, bagging TWO GOALS! Dan led the line brilliantly and showed exactly why you need someone who can keep their cool in front of goal. ⚽⚽🔥

👏 Congratulations to all six winners! Whether it's defensive dominance, endless running, communication or putting the ball in the net, every contribution counts!

Who'll be taking home the honours in Gameweek 3? 👀

TALK ABOUT FINE MARGINS! 😮🔥

🔥 SEASON 28 IS JUST GETTING STARTED! 🔥

05/10/2026

🔥⚽ SEASON 28 | GAMEWEEK 1 MAN OF THE MATCH! ⚽🔥

The first week is in the books, the new teams have made their debuts and now we can reveal the first six Man of the Match winners of Season 28! 🏆👏

And what a bunch to kick things off with...

⬜️ CHRIS ROBERTS | CALORINTHIANS
The Whites' General 👑
Chris picked up exactly where he left off last season, running the game from start to finish and controlling things in the middle of the park. He even capped off the performance with a goal! ⚽
A familiar face making an immediate impact for the new boys.

🟥 RICHARD BECKETT | RB LARGERPIG
Captain's performance 💪
Leading the Reds, Richard did everything he could to control the game and keep his team moving in the right direction. A proper captain's display, constantly trying to help the team wherever he could. 👊

🟩 MARK THOMPSON | FOUR ROASTS GREEN FC
The Rash 😂
"Like a rash you need to go to the doctors about."
We'll leave it there. 😂
Mark was everywhere, constantly getting involved and making himself an absolute nightmare for the opposition. Frustrating, persistent and impossible to ignore!

🟨 LUKE DODSWORTH | JOGA BURRITO
Sportsmanship Award? 👏
An excellent display of sportsmanship from Luke, who made the decision to give up a dubious penalty during the game.
Fair play, Luke. 👏⚽ Not something you see every week!

⬛️ IAN PARKES | HARDLY ATHLETIC
EVERYWHERE MAN / SUPERMAN 🦸‍♂️
Ian was absolutely everywhere!
Non-stop running, getting involved at both ends and giving absolutely everything for the team.
And then came the moment...
The spectacular Superman dive in his own box. Full commitment. Full extension. Arms out.
Just unfortunately in completely the wrong penalty area. 😂😂
⭐ Ian: Everywhere Man / Superman

🟦 MATT LOMAS | TSG SCOFFENHEIM
Counter-attack king ⚡
A solid performance from Matt throughout the game, capped off by taking full advantage of a counter attack and finding the back of the net! ⚽🔥
A great start for Matt and TSG Scoffenheim!

👏 Congratulations to all six winners!

Who will be next week's MOTM? 👀

🔥⚽ SEASON 28 | GAMEWEEK 1 RESULTS! ⚽🔥

Six brand-new teams stepped onto the pitch for the first time, and they certainly didn't disappoint! We’ve already had close games, big performances and some massive personal milestones. 👍🏻

🟩 FOUR ROASTS GREEN FC 12-14 🟥 RB LARGERPIG
⚽ Pitch: 4-0 to Four Roasts Green
Four Roasts Green may have taken the pitch battle 4-0, but RB Largerpig showed their strength where it counts in the overall battle, edging this one 14-12.
A cracking first game for both new teams! 👏

🟦 TSG SCOFFENHEIM 10-17 ⬜️ CALORINTHIANS
⚽ Pitch: 1-3 to Calorinthians
A 17-10 overall victory backed up by a 3-1 win on the pitch gives the Whites a perfect start to life in Season 28.
TSG Scoffenheim might have lost the opener, but there's a long season ahead! 💪

⬛️ HARDLY ATHLETIC 17-10 🟨 JOGA BURRITO
⚽ Pitch: 0-0
Hardly Athletic wasted no time showing that perhaps the name is a little misleading! 😂
A 17-10 overall victory gets the Blacks off to a winning start, while neither side could find a way through in a goalless pitch battle.
Joga Burrito will be looking to turn that into points next week! 🌯🔥

🏆 AMAZING LOSER
Welcome back, Mark Wragg! ❤️
After being forced to leave through injury, Mark returned this week and what a comeback!

💪 10% CLUB
Dan Hardwick has hit the 10% milestone! 🎉
What an achievement and a brilliant way to start the new season!

🔥 20% CLUB
And what an achievement from Nick Fitzgerald!
A long-standing member of the club, Nick has now smashed his 20% weight-loss milestone! 🤯👏
And the numbers behind it show exactly what hard work and consistency can achieve.
Nick has gone from averaging around 20,000 steps a week to now smashing 35,000+, alongside an extra 30-minute activity! 👣💪
That's commitment.

👏 WHAT A START!
Six new teams. New rivalries. New challenges.
And already 53% of the club losing weight in Week 1!
Well done to everyone who got involved, turned up and put the work in.

Everyone has their own personal step target based on their previous average, with a slightly higher target this season to encourage those extra steps. Hit your target and help your team earn even more bonus goals!

And it's not just about winning...

It’s about building better habits, increasing activity, challenging yourself and supporting your teammates along the way. 💪

⚽ MORE MOVEMENT
