Our fathers, partners, brothers, and friends are facing a health crisis, yet it’s rarely talked about.
We can’t afford to stay silent.
Our highly anticipated 2023 Kelly Group 5-a-side Movember Football Tournament took place on Friday, 17th November at Powerleague, Mill Hill, London. With 8 teams travelling from across the nation, we had 70+ players including office staff, directors, field engineers and managers, all eager to be crowned our next Kelly Group Champions at kick-off.
On the day of the event, teams were divided into two divisions across multiple pitches with appointed professional referees ensuring all matches were played fairly and safely.
Watch our event wrap-up video below:
With 5 hours of collective match play and a few minor injuries, we’re delighted to announce that our 2023 Kelly Group 5-a-side Movember Football Tournament Champions are The Mutt’s Nuts. A huge congratulations to our champions!

Daniel Crown – Team Captain of The Mutt’s Nuts said…
“I was really looking forward to being a football captain this year and get a team together from the Southeast. I have been involved in fundraising activities before and was delighted to have the opportunity to support an excellent cause again.
I met a couple of men who have been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in the last few years and it has been tough to see what they have gone through. Therefore, I was keen to fundraise and participate in a Movember event. I think we; men often feel embarrassed to talk or share our feelings and I hope that raising awareness with events like our Movember Football Tournament will help more men come forward and speak up if they’re struggling.
I cannot lie, we arrived with a champion’s mentality on the tournament day, and we’re absolutely buzzing to have won the tournament - it was superb. And I think we surprised a lot of people!
Thank you to the organisers and hosts as it was a fantastic event. Also, a big thanks to my team, Josh Taylor, Callum Fidler, Jordon Saunders, Lorenc Perlesha, Matthew Barbosa and Kayne Summers. The Mutts Nuts will be back next year!”
A big shoutout goes to our runners-up football team, Tea and Busquets.
