Essex Corporate Games

150 participants from companies across Essex came to try their hand at a series of 14 sports, including fencing organised by ourselves. Click here for photos, or Click on logo to see the event information, or Click on the above Sportessex link to see the results breakdown and reports. | ![]() |
Each team had 5 minutes for tuition and kitting-up, then competed for 15 minutes - in turn at Rounders, Badminton, Sitting Volleyball, Golf Frisbee, Archery, Petanque, Lacross, Handball, Streetball (basketball's cooler brother), Bat & Trap (from - ahem - Kent), and Fencing. Each half hour a klaxon was sounded. This ended each pair of teams existing competition, for them to move onto their next sport. We then had just 5 minutes to both kit-up and instruct from scratch another 10 newcomers before another siren sounded for the next battle to commence! We'll now be checking whether there is a Guinness World Record to be claimed, for the shortest time taken to teach someone to fence. Maldon Council won the fencing, and came second overall. |
