After numerous heats, thousands of teams and plenty of goals, the FA Umbro Fives took place at Wembley this weekend. Teams from all over the country descended on the capital to take part in the event, playing five-a-side on the hallowed turf to find an overall winner. Both men’s and women’s teams took part, and the video above gives a snapshot of the action in both tournaments, while the match reports below from Keith Daniell give us the lowdown on what happened in the final.

MDU 4 – 2 Top Draw
MDU were the first ever FA Umbro Fives champions – and now they are back: crowned, once again, as the best five-a-side side team in the country.

Unbeaten throughout the Wembley finals they came through their group stages with three wins and a draw – and despite going behind in their quarter-final against Team SMG, MDU were always one of the 2010 favourites.

Top Draw had also progressed smoothly to the final – winning all of their group games and putting four past International in their semi-final. But MDU were determined from the start to get their title back. MDU’s England Futsal international Rob Ursell was named Player of the Tournament as, despite falling behind 2 – 0, MDU fought back to take the match to extra time. And then scored two more goals to win under the Wembley lights, 4 – 2.

MDU now have more than 50 five-a-side titles of various kinds under their belts – but none as prestigious as The FA Umbro Fives. Next year, and the chance to win the title for a third time in five years, can’t come soon enough!

MDU: Chris McIntosh (manager), Jordan Matoorah, Craig Vargas, Scott Cousins, Kamil Kharas, Lubo Guentchev, Tayo Soyoye, Rob Ursell, Ismet Sumbul

Top Draw: Craig Mills (manager), Adam White, Chris Page, Wes Taylor, Harry Vaughan, Kirk Herbert, Anthony Ball, Dan Page, Aaron Morgan

Hardly Athletic 0 – 1 Newcastle United Blues
A new champion in the women’s FA Umbro Fives.

Neither Newcastle United Blues nor Hardly Athletic qualified for Wembley as regional winners – both were runners-up in their respective finals, Newcastle in the North and Hardly in London. But under the floodlights this was one of the closest finals imaginable with only a single goal in the closing seconds separating the two teams.

Perhaps that wasn’t so surprising – the two teams had met in the group stages already at Wembley and that had finished as a one-all draw. Newcastle, though, had gone through to the semis as group winners where they beat North rivals The Poly. Hardly managed a one goal victory over Adelaide City.

Lianne Sanderson of Hardly Athletic was named women’s Player of the Tournament, but it was still Newcastle who came out on top to be crowned The FA Umbro Fives champions 2010.

Newcastle United Blues: Sarah Eadon (manager), Stephanie Eadon, Stephanie Shaw, Bethanie Gardener, Megan Beer, Courtney Lock, Nichole Havery, Kayte Brooks, Sam Campion

Hardly Athletic: Sid Hayes (manager), Emma Hayes, Rebecca Hayes, Kirsty Pealling, Jenny Canty, Leanne Champ, Debs Cole, Karen Carney, Lianne Sanderson
