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.
