THE success of the first ever County Workplace Games has encouraged organisers to make it an annual event.
The competition at Taunton Vale Sports Club on Friday was the culmination of Somerset Activity and Sports Partnership’s Workplace Challenge in February and March, which involved over 1,100 people taking part in activity and pedometer challenges.
Somerset County Cricket Board won the seven-a-side football, beating Branstons of Ilminster.
There was an all-County Hall final in the indoor rounders, with Somerset Highways defeating Team Payroll, while the floodlit rounders was won by Brymore Academy Staff, with Sedgemoor District Council runners-up.
The Pink Lady Teachers won the netball final against County Hall Rockets.
SASP adult participation manager Stewart Collins said: “Our grateful thanks go to Taunton Vale Sports Club for hosting the event, to all the officials and assistants and in particular to the individuals who inspired and organised their colleagues.
“It is envisaged that this will become an annual event so workplaces can begin their preparation for next year now.”
