The ‘worst trainer’ forfeit isn’t new to football teams – particularly in pre season, but Finchampstead’s first team players have taken things to a new level.

Our recent focus on Finch has uncovered their own poor trainer award which involves sharing a photograph on social media with stuffed crying with laughter emoji.

So far the forfeit – devised by captain Adam Barnard and Sam Green – has seen James Pople and Freddie Barron (above) pictured with the emoji on a building site and a warehouse.

We look forward to the @FinchFirsts1 twitter account keeping us up to date with these emoji sitings, we’ll certainly be updating this page with them each week.

In the meantime..

Does your club have it’s own forfeits? Let us know in complete anonymity by emailing tom.canning@footballinbracknell.co.uk
