NEWS

Last Man Standing game 6 begins!

We will be launching game SIX of Last Man Standing for this weekend 14th/15th/16th February. The code is FOB-8RM6.  

You must enter by Friday afternoon as Brighton play Chelsea that evening.

https://play.betmate.app/with/FOBGFC/survivor/FOB-8RM6

Each week you pick a team to win in the Premier League; if they do win, you continue in the game and if they lose or draw you are eliminated.  This goes on until there is only one person "left standing" or all those remaining in the game are eliminated in the same set of fixtures.

Entry for each full game is £10, £8 of which goes into prize money and £2 goes to FOBG.

We have partnered with Betmate who will be administering the games at no charge.

Full details can be found on their website HERE (Survivor is their name for it), You can download their app HERE.

Well done Violet!

Stroke Association
Violet Tomkins, the five year-old daughter of Saturday Vets player / manager Ben, has been out raising money for the  Stroke Association after learning about grandad Simon's experience of the disease. He has been living with the effects since suffering a stroke in 2013.

She wanted to spread awareness and raise some money so made bracelets to put in both Nanny Smith's Deli and Can Cuts barbers, both businesses situated in Farnborough High Street and sponsors of the club. Together with additional donations, including one from FOBG, she has managed to raise over £500, a fantastic achievement. 

Run, Pearcey, run!

Neil PearceUnder 12s Mustangs joint manager Neil Pearce will be running in the London Marathon on 27 April for the Multiple Sclerosis Society

It is a fantastic cause dear to the heart of FOBG. Please read his story HERE and contribute whatever you can.

We wish Neil all the best with his training and of course the race itself. He knows he won't be looking quite so happy after 20 miles but it will be worth it!

Keeper wanted

We are looking for a goalkeeper to play regularly for our Yellow Vets team on Sundays.  Must be aged 35 or over.  We play friendly matches every week throughout the season.

Please email mailbox@fobgfc.org for more information.

Nanny Smith's Deli

The club would like to thank local business Nanny Smith’s Deli for becoming the new supplier of the Vets food on a Saturday and Sunday, and we thank Saturday Vets manager Ben Tomkins for brokering the deal.

To date, Rose has supplied ‘Platters of Joy’ for the Vets home team and their opponents. And very well they have gone down indeed with compliments from all away teams every week, along with the Guild Vets players.

Nanny Smith's Deli are also Club sponsors, who proudly support our Under 12 Mustangs junior side.
