13 hours played now.

Score after 10 hours was
Squad 1 44 - 37 Squad 2

This might be the slowest match update thread ever. But if you want to shout "we want a hundred" tomorrow lunchtime might be a good time.

Squad 1 now winning 215-176.

"We are squad 1 FC. We hate squad 2 and there's no squad 3..."

Hope it's all going well and spirits are still up.

Guy in my work is playing (might be you!) so I've already sponsored my wee bit.

Great cause so hope you meet your target.

I popped down earlier.

The game was crap, so I didn't stay long.

Seriously, I can't get my head around the physical and mental strength that these guys must have. Apparently, they've been training by doing half-marathons and the like.

Chapeau.

I had a look in earlier this afternoon but nobody was actually playing when I was there. Think some players were sleeping in tents. Quite a few folk there, saw yogi laughing away!

Final score 774-707. Extra time not being played. :)
Record awaiting confirmation. Nearly £80000 raised - well done to all.
