Jake and Paul recieved winners medals at the soccer six tournament at Chelsea's Stanford bridge ground on Saturday 29th May.
In front of over 6000 people, the boys (who were part of the Fat Les team that included Leroy from the Prodigy and Kieth Allen) won a nail biting final 3-2 over Robbie Williams' team.
Our heroes didn't loose a single game leading up to the final with victories over Ultra, Ant and Dec (Peter Beardsley was on their team) Space and a particularly satisfying romp over Blur who knocked MLS out of the tornament two years ago at Craven Cottage.
Paul and Jake's best game however was against Bush where Paul hit the bar twice and Jake won a crucial penalty. Apart from that they spent most of the time eating orange slices dipped in vodka.
Thanks to all the fans that turned up in support, all proceeds went to Help A London Child.
