Plymouth Professional Six-a-Side
The event, held at Plymstock Cricket Club, was once again a huge success with many local professional firms competing including Lloyds, Bond Pearce, Wolferstans Solicitors, Rileys Accountants, Nash and Co Solicitors and Clydesdale Bank. Unfortunately Team Symmons/Traynor were beaten by Bond Pearce for the first time in the history of the competition. Clydesdale progressed to the final to take on Wolferstans Solicitors. Wolferstans Solicitors were eventually the overall winners of the competition, which through some fantastic donations raised £650 for a local charity to be selected by the winning side.
