A win - for storm Darragh!

Storm Darragh has washed away any chance of our teams playing this weekend, even though one was scheduled to be on 3G.

Accreditation England renewed!

Many thanks to FOBG's Accreditation Officer Ian McGrath for steering us through our England Accredited renewal for another year. This shows as a club that we are committed to staying the best place for people to play and enjoy football. 

Last Man Standing game 4 begins soon

Our Last Man Standing game 3 prize of £136 was shared between a Sunday Second XI player and a supporter of the club after both of their picks failed to win last weekend.

We are launching game 4 which will begin over the weekend of 14/15/16 December.

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.

The code for game 4 is FOB-EXTM.  Good luck!

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 Smiths Deli are also Club sponsors, who proudly support our Under 12 Mustangs junior side.
