The IPM Football and Netball Tournaments, which took place last week, saw 18 teams compete, with last year’s winners, Eagle Eye Solutions, again claiming the trophy in the netball and The Marketing Store Europe triumphing in the football.
Teams were put into groups for the first round of the tournament, with the top teams progressing through to the quarter finals, the semi-finals and then the last two competing in the finals for the IPM Trophy. The teams which failed to get through to the quarter finals faced off against each other for the Shield.
