Scoring For A Cause: Morris Lubricants Annual Football Match vs Greenhous
As another football season begins, Morris Lubricants and Greenhous continue their friendly sporting rivalry by going head-to-head in a football match, all in aid of a fantastic charity, the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity. The two major, Shrewsbury-based companies have held an annual football match in the summer over the years to raise funds for an array of incredible charities.
The game and family fun day were held at the Salop Unison Club, where employees, family and friends enjoyed a bouncy castle, a BBQ & a bar. The Midlands Air Ambulance Charity also provided a first-response car for people to look at and have a sit in.
Kick-off was eagerly anticipated, and a group of familiar faces headed out onto the pitch. Amongst the regulars, Greenhous also had a secret weapon up their sleeve when they brought out none other than former Premier League & Wales International football player Dave Edwards! Morris Lubricants F.C. didn’t let this scare them off, though.
It was a tight game to start, with Dan Juckes, Production Operative, & Owen Lloyd, Chief Operations Officer, scoring in the first half for Morris Lubricants FC to keep the game at 2-2 going into halftime. The team defended well as Greenhous started to create more chances in the second half, before a superb 2nd half hat-trick from George Minshall, Customer Service Advisor, secured a fantastic win for the Morris Lubricants’ team.
Morris won 5-2 after an end-to-end game played in good spirits by both teams. As always, a tightly fought game for an incredible charity.
Both Greenhous and Morris Lubricants have donated £350, £50 for every goal scored, totalling £700 to the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.
