BEN is looking for teams within the automotive industry to compete in its annual five-a-side football tournament which begins on May 16.

The competition will help raise money for the charity and the first heats take place in Birmingham and Slough on May 16, followed by Manchester on May 23 and the final is in Derby on June 6. Teams of between five and seven can enter at a cost of £150.

Winners and runners-up of qualifying heats will automatically be entered into the final.

There will also be three additional wild card places available in each heat for £30. These will be given to the two highest scoring teams outside the top two and the team with the lowest goals conceded.

Charles Davis, BEN director of fundraising and communications said: “BEN’s annual five-a-side challenge gives industry teams everywhere the chance to show their mettle against some very determined competition.

“This is the perfect way to have a great time while supporting your industry charity and allowing us to continue to provide invaluable help and support to our colleagues in need.”
