Festive Football Event
The Festive Football event was a Construction-wide tournament to reward our students for their hard work this term & also to unwind on the run up to the Christmas break. Leigh Mackie, the Sports Development Officer at the Sports Academy, kindly offered us the opportunity and organised the event along with her team of referees & linesmen.
The winning team was 'Boggy's AFC', which was made up of students from Plastering, Wall and Floor Tiling & Brickwork, with the runner up team being 'Top Joiners FC'. There were 9 teams in the tournament, so reaching the final was an achievement in itself, with both teams being so well matched that the final had to be decided by penalties.
Here are a few photographs of the trophy giving ceremony:
