Project Diaspora FC emerged victorious, defeating Oxford Community Football in the final on penalties.

The winners were presented with the Oxfordshire Men's Health Cup by a representative from the FA.

Matt Williams, co-founder and chair of the Oxfordshire Men's Health Partnership, said: "This event has been so successful.

"We were delighted that so many men’s groups and organisations fielded teams and that local employers really wanted to put men’s mental health on the map this year.

"There is a growing recognition that men’s health is important and that there are specific ways to seem male engagement.

"A football tournament gives guys the perfect excuse to come along to compete and then learn a little more about their health and local services."

The tournament was organised by members of the Oxfordshire Men’s Health Partnership, which includes Oxfordshire Mind, Oxfordshire County Council Public Health team, Health Innovation Oxford and Thames Valley and Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust.
