The Hertfordshire is Ready for Winners Corporate Games, saw 20 teams from local companies battling it out in events such as five-a-side football, kwik cricket, doubles tennis and athletics.

The fully subscribed event took place on 18 July 2011 at Gosling Sports Park in Welwyn Garden City and was organised by the Hertfordshire is Ready for Winners Partnership and Gosling Sports Park, supported by the NHS, Saracens Foundation and The Ultimate Promotions Company.

Winners on the day were Stevenage Leisure who came top in the doubles tennis, high jump and grand finale, followed by St Albans Art, Sport and Health Development Team and bronze medals were awarded to Hertsmere Leisure Trust.

Mark Jennings, Fitness Manager at North Herts Leisure Centre and competitor on the day for Stevenage Leisure said: "We had a great day, and would really like to thank the team who organised the event.

"We were hoping for at least a top three finish at the start of the day and as the day progressed we were more and more confident that we could win. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon athletics and relay as it took us back to our school days!

"We would definitely take part again and look forward to joining in if it is running next year."

The event also raised £330 for the Herts Talented Athlete Programme through the raffle. That makes a running total of £4,344 raised for the Talented Athlete Programme by Herts is Ready for Winners with the funding going to local young athletes such as golfer Tom Lewis who has been in the news recently while taking part in The Open.
