Brewery Manager kicks off
The annual ‘Brewery Manager’ sports competition got underway yesterday at the Onikan Stadium in Lagos.
The competition,
themed ‘AIGBEDO 2010’ and organised by the Nigeria Breweries Plc is
open to its staff within the Lagos region and will run for one month.
Participants will
compete in nine events – chess, tennis, table tennis, athletics,
snooker, table soccer, scrabble, chart, and swimming.
The main attraction
of the competition as usual is football, which will feature four teams
drawn from four different units within the organisation and last year
winners, BET.
BET has mainly
staff from the engineering unit as members and they will start their
title defence with a game against their colleagues operating from the
headquarters.
The two teams emerged as finalists in last year’s edition and it took a penalty shootout for BET to win.
The other teams are
the Packaging, and Administrations departments. Both teams will slug it
out at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, tomorrow.
The women will also taste action in football.
Anticipation is high among staff; they expect the knock out stages of the annual sporting event to be thrilling.
According to Vindah Edem, the Public Affairs managers for Lagos,
“the initiative is a platform for promoting unity among all members of
staff of the company as well as promotes their health through sports.
