FOLLOWING a tense title deciding match Athletico Madras have been crowned league winners in the Taunton MAN v FAT Football club but there's so much more to it than just the football.

Running since August 2018 and based at Castle School every Sunday morning MAN v FAT Football is a weight loss programme for overweight and obese men.

Winning team captain Ian McNally said: "Winning the league title was great but the experience of taking part with such a great bunch of lads, all with the shared aimed of losing weight and getting fit is what makes the Taunton club so special.

"I would recommend it to anyone"

Each week players weigh in and score additional goals based on their individual and team weight loss which is added to the score on the pitch to decide the final results and whilst the Athletico Madras lads were pleased with their overall league title, the OB City team were still pleased to top the season's weight loss table.

The club now has even more opportunities for local men to start their own journey towards living healthier lives by expanding to 6 teams to for which you can sign up via www.manvfatfootball.org/taunton
