SFB win Young Professionals table football tournament

Last Thursday, 6 August, saw the young professionals host a table football tournament in celebration of the start of the new football season.

Doubles teams from a range of industries competed for a chance to take home engraved winners medals and bottle of champagne.

It was clear from the outset that the teams from Cranfield had been practising as they own the football tables. However, despite making up three out of four of the teams in the semi-finals, they didn’t quite make it to the top.

It was a close call in the final which saw Phil Ballard of Cranfield Recovery, ably assisted by Leonie Salter of Wright Hassall, take on Paige Howitt and Dean Cart from Stewart Fletcher Barrett. However in the end the SFB team took home the champagne and trophies.
