Afternoon all,

Apologies for the radio silence, but we have an update for you.

Unfortunately the WRC will be taking a hiatus this year. We hope you all understand, it takes quite a lot both emotionally and physically to organise each year and due to personal and professional commitments this summer we're unable to do it justice and deliver as we'd like.

This is only a fallow year (taking a leaf out of Glastonbury's book) and we fully expect to be back firing on all cylinders in 2026.

Again we're sorry to those teams wanting a shot at the title, the fans cheering on their favourite teams and our 2 charities. We will be back though, better than ever.

Thank you for your understanding, lots of love

Hi all,

Now the dust has settled on another incredible WRC we just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of the teams, their supporters and our volunteers who made it such a fantastic day.

I hope you all had fun. As well as seeing some old faces it was great to meet so many new people this year.

On the charities front, we're still getting a few donations trickling in through our GoFundMe page which we will leave up till the end of the week in case anyone still wants to donate but hasn't had chance yet. As it stands we have raised nearly £1,300 for our charities Gambling with Lives and Sheffield Mind

It's a phenomenal total and at the risk of repeating myself we can't thank you enough for all the support and donations. Smashing effort and you all deserve a big pat on the back!

I'll leave it there now as I've done enough waffling on over the last few days and I'm sure you're all very close to losing interest!

Thanks again and lots of love

Little reminder for everyone coming down to the tournament tomorrow... The Football League (showing little regard for local amateur 5 a-side tournaments!) have arranged for Sheffield United to be playing at home at 3 o'clock on Sunday. If you get here for the start of the tournament you should be reyt but street parking could be limited and Bramall Lane (the road, not the ground) could be partially closed depending what time you get here!

A minor annoyance, but we won't let it spoil the day will we eh?!?!

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

The William Ramsay Cup needs YOU!!!

Afternoon all!

Not long until the big day now and preparations are well underway.

Unfortunately, one of our teams has informed us they are unable to make the tournament on Sunday 1st of September, so a space has become available.

If you're reading this and yourself or anyone you know fancies entering Sheffield's #1 charity 5 a-side tournament* then please get in touch with us through social media or via our email [email protected]

It's first come, first served so please act swiftly and decisively if you are able to fill a team slot!

Once we've got this little loose end tied up you can look forward to the draw for the group stages!

If the WRC was held in the 80s, this is what AI reckons admin would've turned out like....I'm not sure we need to worry *too much* about this technology just yet 🤣
