Yes, the iimia 'Shoot 4 Business' corporate 5-a-side tournament is back for 2008! The event, organised by Dorset Business, in association with the Daily Echo and Wave 105 will be held on Friday 16th May at AFC Bournemouth. Last year's event saw 20 local businesses fight to be crowed 'Shoot 4 Business' champs with Bournemouth University then claiming the hard earned trophy.

The 2007 tournament was a real success with everyone enjoying a great day of football, team lunch and prize giving ceremony! A charity auction was held in aid of Round Table Children's Wish and raised almost £1000 for the children's charity. This year, the nominated charity is the Community Sports Trust, providers of health & fitness initiatives for young people throughout Dorset & Hampshire.

iimia have stepped up to the mark as headline sponsors for the event, second year running. Simon Eveleigh, Regional Director of iimia says, " We feel it's important to get involved with the local business community and are keen to forge closer ties with companies in the area. Having thoroughly enjoyed the experience last year when we sponsored the inaugural event, we are delighted to again be associated with Dorset Business in this venture.

Whilst we don't expect to make much of an impact on the pitch ourselves, it's an opportunity for serious and less serious footballers to have some fun, renew old acquaintances and maybe make a few new friends/business contacts."

Dorset Business are currently in the process of recruiting teams to enter the tournament. If you have any budding David Beckham's in your office and wish to try out your silky skills on the pitch at AFC Bournemouth, call Sylvie on 01202 714805 or go to www.dorsetbusiness.net to find out more.
