30 media teams will battle it out to be hailed the 2008 Bristol Media Football Champions!

After a hugely successful event last year, we’re going to do it all over again, but this time it’s much BIGGER and BETTER!

Teams from across the city, representing every sector of the creative industries are already in training, practicing their dribbling, body swerves and diving headers. Some are even printing their own t-shirts and colour co-ordinating their strips!

But it’s not all about the football. It will be a great family afternoon out too!

We’ve got a fantastic line up of music organised by the Bristol Music Foundation including Bristol singer songwriter “Ruth Riley and local Folk/indie band, The Cedar as well as all the entertainment organised by Riot Events. There’ll be a barbecue, drinks and ice cream and face painting for the kids, a dribble challenge, spot the ball competition and a fantastic chance to win a Champagne Hot Air Balloon Ride for two kindly donated by our recruitment partner, Fishtank.

The winning football team not only wins the much coveted trophy but Mercure Hotels have arranged for a night in the Holland House Hotel plus a three course champagne dinner and a one hour massage in their glorious spa for each player.

The tournament takes place at Clifton College Sports Ground on Sunday 27th July. Admission is £2 for adults and 50p for Juniors. Entry to the ground is from 1300 with play starting promptly at 1400.

So bring the family, WAGS, colleagues and friends, sit in the sun with a drink and a burger, listen to some really excellent music and watch what we’re sure will be the best football you’ll see all summer (well, maybe…).
