The side – the Rathbones Workers Party – beat last year’s winners Investec ‘B’ 4-0 in the final of the hard-fought event, held at Powerleague in Liverpool. Investec ‘B’ star striker Danny Smith had the consolation of being top scorer in the eight-team tournament, with eight goals.
In all, six firms were represented. Rathbones and Investec each entered two sides with others supplied by Blankstone Sington, Pershing, SL Investment Management and Quilter Cheviot.
Branch President Dirk Stronstchak, Chartered MCSI, played for the SL Investment Management side, which was beaten by the eventual winners at the semi-final stage. He said: “The tournament has been held for several years and it’s a really great event. This was the first victory for Rathbones and it was fully deserved.”
