FHP VICTORIOUS AT DERBY BUSINESS GAMES

FHP News

Boy did the competitive streak come out in Team FHP.

The inaugural Derby Business Games took place last night organised by HUUB Events and hosted by the University of Derby at their fantastic new sports facilities.  Twenty three teams entered and there were a number of events with the big title being the rounders competition.  After a shaky start, we soon found our feet in the pool stages and despite some dubious umpiring made it through to the knockouts.  From the quarter finals onwards, the stakes were raised.  We were playing teams who had obviously played before – they even had tactics!  After dispatching Don Amott in the quarters and Flint Bishop in the semis we were up against the Derby High School sports teachers in the final.  We adopted our strategy of hit big and run fast.  Despite Derby High having alloy bats and suntans, Team FHP hit hard and bought home enough rounders to seize the win.

Elsewhere on the track there were some stunning performances, with FHP bringing home the wheelbarrow race and sack race titles to add to the medal haul.

A fantastic evening was had by all, putting FHP firmly on the map as the guys to beat in Derby and no doubt the other teams will be out to get us next year.
