IIL Games – Sports Day – 5th July 18

The IIL Games 2018 had its second event which was a school style sports day at Liverpool University. Five teams took part including the Insurance Institute of Liverpool (IIL), Quilter Cheviot, Barnett Waddingham, Weightmans, and Pavis. It proved to be a very competitive evening with Quilter Cheviot being the champions of the night, even despite being a person short.

Although it was competitive, a lot of fun was had at the same time, and we are pleased to confirm that not one person dropped the egg in the egg and spoon race!

“Flippin loved it!! Was on such a high afterwards. It was so much fun, enjoyed meeting people from other firms, looking at sports and physical activity in a new and fun way. Trying activities like visually impaired cricket and Ultimate Frisbee which I haven’t played before was loads of fun” Bethany Lavin.

“It was a great event, well organised, team building and a lot of fun. With two hours of quite intense exercise, it certainly wasn’t easy and my hamstrings are sore today, possibly from the speed walking! I especially enjoyed the Ultimate Frisbee and am going to treat myself to one so I can improve my skills!”. Julie Calvert.

As well as each team competing against each other, awards were also made for the ‘Spirit of the Games’ picked by the event organisers which was awarded to Jenny Byfield of Weightmans, Dan Vaughan-Hardy of Quilter Cheviot, and Julie Calvert representing the IIL.

After an intense couple of hours, the competition finished. In last place was IIL, although they were still pleased with being the 1st place finishers in the 3-legged race! 4th place was Pavis, 3rd was Weightmans, 2nd Barnett Waddingham and in 1st place Quilter Cheviot.

This means that the IIL overall leader board looks as follows:
