Game on![/caption]Not content with arranging last year's football tournament, Nottingham House's Joanne Wiltshire ensured there was a repeat performance this year.

Each team consisted of a mixture of departments, which were:

The Final[/caption]Around 68 people took part, with the inclusion of 2 lady players this year for Bolton. The men didn’t want to be shown up by the women :) [NB this is as written on the Publicity Form submitted - Ed;)]Stockport again made the final….

No, it just wasn't to be - Stockport house won again!! That's 2 years running now. They are the team to beat next year!
Looks like you have a regular event on your hands Joanne!

Congratulations to Stockport on retaining your title - I wonder if there's a team out there to wrest your hands off the trophy next year? Special congratulations to Joanne for organising the event for the second year in a row.
ReplyDeleteThis stockport side were fantastic, they deserved to win. Mike Hogan was suppose to be there supporting them with his pom poms.
