Health Informatics win Footie 5-a-Side beating Haematology

Published on:

A terrific 10 teams - the most in recent years - turned out for this year's CHFT Annual 5-a-Side footie contest.

Some were mixed teams too and all came together for a night of "competitiveness" but no malice.

Organiser Pharmacy's Ian Harrison, said: " There were good challenges, it was physical but there was no malice.  I've played in matches in my younger days when it can get quite unpleasant but nothing like that.

"I said at the start "Remember, you may have to walk past these people at work!"

In the third place play off Finance took on Physio. The Acute Floor at HRI were new to the tournament and  Physio were very well represented and Ian said it was good to see newcomers as well as the mixed teams.

"People really seemed to enjoy it especially as it was all to promote Men's Heath. As we had so many teams the matches weere only 10 mins long  too."

He added: " I would like to make a special thank you to new teams who got involved especially Acute floor at HRI."

Any injuries? "Someone's knee popped out - but then it went back in again!"
