A few weeks ago, teams across the office went head-to-head in an unforgettable tournament packed with skill and strategy. From baton relays to bean bag balance, the competition brought out everyone’s competitive side — and delivered plenty of laughs along the way.
The first day of events had all the teams participating in a range of relay races, from your classic baton relay to the more challenging hoop race. All topped off with an all to play for Archery competition, where players had to hit the dinosaur targets to win extra points.
The following Thursday hosted a variety of different challenges. Everything from Velcro Golf, to Javelin and Skittles. Concluding with a fun reimagining of the game Boccia, where teams had to accurately bowl their balls into a O’s and X’s grid. The first team to get 3 in a row wins!
After two fun days of events, it was Marlowe’s Marauders who emerged victorious, finishing at the top of the leaderboard with an impressive 21 points, including a bonus point that sealed their win. Consistency across nearly every event proved to be the difference, with strong performances in the Hoop Race, Golf, Ball Balance, and Skittles helping them edge ahead of the competition.
Close behind were Last Ones Standing, finishing with 19 points after a particularly strong showing in Egg and Spoon and Archery. Their determination kept the pressure on right until the final rounds, making the race for first place one of the closest of the day.
Rounding out the podium were the Winter Solders with 18 points. Their balanced performances across multiple events — especially Archery, Javelin, and the team games — kept them firmly in contention throughout the tournament.
The event was a brilliant reminder of how a little friendly competition can bring people together. Whether competing for glory in the Hoop Race or trying to survive the Egg and Spoon race, everyone played their part in making sports day a success.
Congratulations again to Marlowe’s Marauders on taking the crown. We will see them all return in the next event – VC Cup Badminton!
