The unholy alliance of Willmore Iles Architects and Curtins Consulting (Honduras) entered a team for the recent Constructing Excellence Five-a-Side World Cup. Tim, Rob, Ben and Robbie represented the practice.
We were unfortunate to face the eventual winners (Harvey Jacobs – San Marino, a team apparently made up of ex pros and current semi pros) in the first game which resulted in a 9-1 loss. Respect was regained with good wins over Mace (England) and Facilitas (South Africa), but we eventually came fourth in our group with the same points but inferior goal difference to second and third place after a defeat by Leadbitter, who adopted Holland-like tactics taking out all of our players during the course of the game. We went through to "The Plate", which could quite easily have been called the "not as bad as the teams that came bottom of the group but still pretty much losers trophy" (although that wouldn't have been as snappy)
Despite playing a team with a combined age probably twice the sum of ours, we were still hurting from the previous game and suffered a humiliating 4-2 defeat. Still, Sir Trevor Brooking can sleep soundly tonight, safe in the knowledge that we all had a great time and hopefully a lot of money was raised for charity
Special mention to Robbie who required a post match visit to A+E. (Vastus Medialis strain apparently).
