Futsal finals showdown
The FA Futsal Cup Finals begin at Sheffield's EIS tomorrow until Sunday.
With both a men's and women's title up for grabs, the competition will be as fierce as ever over the three days with a total of 32 teams involved.
Teams qualified via The FA National Futsal League, the university BUCS Champion ship and from a series of regional qualifiers and the countdown is now on.
Last year's men's champions Helvecia will be back to defend their title, whilst the likes of FC White Bear, Tranmere Victoria and Kickers amongst several newcomers like Streetly will be out to challenge them.
Doncaster Rovers Belles lifted the women's title in 2009, but they won't be back this year to defend it so that will leave last season's beaten Finalists and the 2008 champions Watford Ladies determined to prove their Futsal worth again.
The FA Futsal Cup format sees four groups of four teams drawn out, before the top two from each group progress to the knock-out stages.
The Sheffield and Hallam shire FA representative futsal team will be flying the flag for the host city of Sheffield in the men's competition. The team finished runners up in plate competition at last years final and are currently top of the league in the FA Futsal League North.
The team have been drawn in Group B, and face last year's winners Helvecia along with FA Futsal League North rivals Loughborough.
