Teams went head-to-head to take on the challenge, working together as a team to complete the inflatable team-based games and complete the course. Team VF beat Harrogate Hawks by 2 points to take the top spot. Verity Frearson Director Matthew Stamford said:
"It was great to join up with the ladies from the Stroke Neuro department. I think that between us we made a formidable team. The Harrogate Hawks Rugby players were pretty tough but our NHS superstars are clearly even tougher!"[caption id="attachment_67584" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] VF Team Leader Megan Sibson.[/caption] Megan Sibson Team VF captain said:
"What a fantastic day. We weren’t quite sure what to expect but it was so much fun! It was brilliantly organised by HHCC and hopefully the event raised lots of money. We can’t wait to defend our crown next year!"Read more local stories from Your Harrogate here.
