The third annual Euro Projects Recruitment Charity Football Tournament has taken place at Ashby Leisure Centre. This year’s event brought together 12 teams from local engineering and manufacturing businesses, all in support of LOROS Hospice, raising over £1,700, our highest total to date!
Teams from the following businesses took part: Applied Thermal Control, AC Valves, Crestchic Loadbanks, Sella Controls, Clarendon Speciality Fasteners, ATA Garryson, HOLCIM UK, Premtech, HORIBA MIRA, Euro Projects Recruitment, Journeo and MacDermid Alpha.
As in previous years, the format was 6-a-side, with each match lasting 10 minutes. Teams were split into two groups, battling it out in a series of fast-paced fixtures. The top two teams from each group advanced to the semi-finals, which were closely contested and full of energy.
The final saw Premtech, last year’s champions, face off against newcomers Holcim UK. After a tightly fought match, Premtech retained their title and well done to them on a deserved victory!
Away from the pitch, players and supporters were treated to free pizza and drinks, kindly served up by Sever’s Woodfired Pizza Oven, helping to keep energy levels high and spirits even higher.
We’re incredibly proud to support LOROS, a charity that provides compassionate care for people with life-limiting illnesses. A huge thank you goes out to all the businesses that entered teams and to everyone who came along to cheer them on and contribute to such a worthwhile cause.
We’re already looking forward to next year’s tournament!
