Carter Towler’s 5-a-side team recently nearly won the annual Henry Boot charity football tournament. Held in Sheffield on one of the hottest days of the year and competing against 15 other teams from across Yorkshire and Lancashire, the boys put in a great effort but cruelly lost in the final to Sheffield-based team ‘Edge’ in a sudden death penalty shoot-out.
Non-playing Director of Football, Richard Fraser, commented: “Everyone had a really good day out with a great mix of teams from both the construction and property sectors. Each of our players – Zack Sorkin, Will Beddard, Alex Noteman, Jamie Husband, Chris Green and Gary Lewsley – gave it their all and were ‘robbed’ of victory by the closest of margins. It was great to mix with other property-based companies and get our name ‘out there’ with clients and agents.”
The tournament was organised in support of Mind, the mental health charity and raised over £5,000 for this very worthwhile charity.
