ReachOut! Charity Cup 2011 a success!

Reachout! Charity Cup 2011 Tournament went again third year running which this year was on the 25th February 2011.

It was a very wild tournament this year, money became tight but not to worry - ReachOut! still got on with the job. As in previous years the young people took the spot light, doing all the jobs and organising most of the tournament.

The following young people really put the tournament on the road getting all the teams, venue, equipment and basically everything! So ReachOut! will like to thank: Connor Murphy, Nadir Abdullahi, Je’ray Nisbett, Rauf Mustapha, Semih Tuna and Mahmoud Sanni Oba. These boys have worked their socks off trying to make this the best tournament and not to lie it has been the best tournament the ReachOut! squad have made. The money they made is going towards a trip they are planning to go to Spain to reward them for the hard work they have done!

Another Big thanks to all the teams that participated in the tournament: Bloomberg (this year’s champions), ReachOut! Volunteers (runners up) Macquarie, Barclays Capital and ReachOut! Staff, the event was a huge success raising £2175!

ReachOut! would also like to thank Tesco Pret a Manger for their contribution towards refreshments and drinks but also a big thank you to Tesco express at hackney downs for putting in a little more and promoting the ReachOut! organisation. I will like to give a big thank you to Je’ray’s brother Jordan Nisbett for doing all the photography work and taking part of the tournament.

A big shout to ReachOut under 14a team for winning the ELE league. The boys worked so well throughout the whole way I bid well done and good luck for them in the future league they are going to be entering a new league soon so let wish the best for them!
