With him hitting weight losses with ease and bossing the loser of the week every week he turns up. The age old saying practice makes perfect finally paid off! Well done Craig keep

Cup Final Results!! 🏆⚽️

The MVF Cup came to its finale tonight in a hard fought battle between Largentina and Kebaberdeen.

The game itself was very interesting to watch from the neutral point with some really good play and some rather interesting refereeing saw Largentina clinch it 3-2 on the field and 7-4 overall.

Regardless of the score on the pitch the win actually came from Craig Leonard hitting his 10% target and gaining 3 goals for his team! What a performance from the Largentina man the cup certainly belongs to this man!

New season next week!! 🏆⚽️👏
