A football team made up of staff from Ultraframe are the champions of the Blackburn Orphanage Cup for the second year running. The annual charity football tournament saw the Ultraframe team score an impressive 42 goals without even conceding one, breaking a tournament record held for 54 years.

The winning squad of 15 from Clitheroe defeated six other teams to take home the prestigious silver trophy for a successive year at a final held in Blackburn. The final play off against a United Utilites team resulted in a smashing victory for the Ultraframe team who defeated United Utilities 4-0. The team also raised £2,500 in aid of the Blackburn Child Care Society, a charity which supports local young people.

‘It was a really tremendous tournament,’ said Dave Buckle Ultraframe team organiser. ‘We had so much support from colleagues at each leg of the tournament that we were really fired up. We are delighted that we managed to raise money for such a worthwhile charity and the fact that we didn’t concede any goals made it even sweeter! Next year we are definitely going for the hat trick!’

The competition is an annual event now in its 54th year. Companies in and around Blackburn enter teams who turn out each year to help raise funds for the Blackburn Child Care Society (formerly Blackburn Ophanage).
