MINI Five-a-Side Tournament Champions Crowned!
1st December 2024
BMW Plant Oxford brought the heat to Tilsley Park, Abingdon, on Saturday, November 30th, with an action-packed MINI five-a-side football tournament. Fourteen teams competed for glory, including twelve teams from BMW departments and two determined supplier teams: Rudolph & Hellmann United (R&H United) and Mitie.
The Journey to Victory
The tournament began with three fiercely contested leagues. The top two teams from each group, along with the highest-ranked third-place finisher, advanced to the knockout stages. R&H United faced a tough challenge right from the start. With only five players and no substitutes, they went up against teams with rolling substitutions that helped maintain intensity throughout.
Undeterred, R&H United stunned the competition, defeating 'The Paint Shop Pinkie Winkies' 2-0 in the quarter-finals. The semi-finals brought even more drama as they faced 'The 7 Stars' (representing Line 50 in assembly). After a nail-biting 2-2 draw in regulation time, R&H United triumphed 6-4 in a tense penalty shootout.
A Resounding Final Win
The final showdown was against 'TU-O-Ten-Hag,' but R&H United saved their best performance for last. Displaying incredible teamwork and stamina, they cruised to a dominant 4-0 victory to claim the championship.
Celebrating the Champions
Congratulations to Rudolph & Hellmann United for an unforgettable tournament victory!
