Emmm. I won’t say you’re wrong, I’d have to check.
But the answer I seek weighs 51kg (I’m told).
Oh, and it’s Clapton Orient to be accurate.

Did the Os not win an Evening Standard 5 a side tournament back in the day?
Used to enjoy that being televised.

Why is it at Swindon?
Wiki says the won it in 1910
Barnsley 1911
Fulham in 1912
Why do Fulham not retain it?
Wiki do not explain why its at Swindon, just that it is there

Back in the days there were two 5 a side tournaments held at Wembley Arena.
Daily Express National 5 a sides Won by Orient in 1974
Evening Standard London 5 a sides Won by Orient in 1976
If my memory serves me correctly, I attended the wrong one in each year.
