Manchester United UIB Tournament

 

United in Business Football Tournament June 5th 2008

Gemini created a wonderful tournament for 8 teams, with participating companies from Royal Bank of Scotland, Progress Software, Reaction Records, Abacus and GOVNET amongst others, with 8 players per team. Each team was managed by an ex-Manchester United legend who provided the benefit of their wealth of experience to their players, along with a little of the Manchester United magic.

 The Tournament took place at Manchester United’s state of the art training facility at Carrington. Usually off-limits to everyone except the Manchester United team and coaching staff, Gemini secured exclusive access for this tournament and hosted a thrilling series of games, with support from members of the Manchester United coaching staff.

  Once the Royal Bank of Scotland had been awarded the honour of winning the tournament, all the players and supporters transferred to Old Trafford for a gala dinner and auction. Using the stadium’s stunning facilities Gemini staged an auction with a host of excellent lots. The star lot was undoubtedly David Beckham’s 100th England cap which generated huge amounts of interest and £2,500.00 alone for Children Today. Later in the evening once the music and celebrations had started the group were joined by Manchester United’s latest additions to their trophy cabinet, the Champion’s League Trophy and the Premier League Trophy. This provided yet another highlight to the day with people invited to pose for photographs with the magnificent silverware and to take away some truly special memories of their time with Manchester United and Gemini.
