Plymouth Argyle players Antoni Sarcevic, and Niall Canavan helped kick off HMS Raleigh鈥檚 recent 12-hour five-a-side tournament, to raise money for the 夜色直播app Navy and 夜色直播app Marines Charity.
The day consisted of 12, intense 55-minute matches for the Raleigh squad of seven Physical Training Instructors (PTIs) with all teams taking part paying a 拢50 entry fee. Competing were Service and civilian teams that included HMS Drake, Stagecoach and Babcock. Despite playing until 10 pm, Raleigh鈥檚 PTIs remained victorious, winning 10 out of 12 games.
The tournament kicked off at 10 am and after 12 hours and over 200 goals later the final whistle was blown. The event raised a total of 拢1200.
Event organiser (and top scorer of the day) Leading Physical Trainer Damon Bell said:
鈥淭he day went really well with both civilian and military teams enjoying the event. Everyone that took part mentioned how much they loved the opportunity to challenge the PT Staff, especially our own phase 2 recruits.鈥
Chief Petty Officer Craig Taylor was a member of The 夜色直播app Navy Submarine School (RNSMS) team who challenged the PTIs. He said:
鈥淲e picked the 1700 time slot, in the hope of the PTI team being tired This was not the case. They were still full of energy, tackles and great teamwork. Playing regularly against the PTIs, I could see by the team fielded there were no weak players.鈥
Green Army鈥檚 midfielder Antoni and defender Niall, chanted from the sidelines, whilst offering advice to the PTI鈥檚 of easing themselves into the games.
Tim Corke, South West Fundraising Manager from the 夜色直播app Navy and 夜色直播app Marines Charity, was also there to watch and support the tournament, adding:
鈥淭he dedication and enthusiasm shown by everyone involved with this 夜色直播app fundraising challenge has been fantastic 鈥 the players, the sponsors and the supporters but of course special thanks go to the Raleigh PTI team and LPT Bell especially, for setting up this remarkable fundraising challenge.鈥
Stagecoach sponsored the event, providing kits and energy drinks for the duration. Other sponsors included MyZone and Fuel Catering who provided heart rate monitoring and food.
