Players from Middlesbrough F.C. took on the TLCBET Obstacle Course Challenge, as they prepare for an important close to the Premier League season. TLCBET challenged the players to complete the course as quick as possible, testing their dribbling skills, ball control, and shooting accuracy.

Stewart Downing, Marten De Roon and George Friend all raced against the clock through a number of obstacles that included a ‘Mascot Gauntlet’, ‘Keepy Uppy Corridor’ and ‘Target Shooting’.

The Mascot Gauntlet pitted the players against the TLCBET mascot Dhazi, and Roary the Lion, with the players showcasing their skills and tricks to dribble past the mascot, featuring a cheeky nutmeg by Stewart Downing!

The Keepy Uppy Corridor and Target Shooting tested the players ball control and shooting accuracy, with a time bonus being awarded for scoring a volley at the end of the corridor, and hitting the TLCBET targets in the final obstacle. With the clock running, the competition was extremely tense, and ultimately there was only 2 seconds separating the fastest times.
