The mixed touch rugby competition included afternoon tea, drinks and prize giving and featured players from Quartz Project Services, Neat Developments, Willmott Dixon Interiors, Galliard Homes, Hill Partnerships, Wates Group, Assael Architecture, RSHP, Gillespies and Sir Robert McAlpine.

Event sponsors included Conrad Consulting, Weston Homes, RG Group, YGHP and Pure Sports Medicine, who helped to secure pitch hire and trophies.

All funds raised will be donated to Centrepoint, a charity providing accommodation and support to more than 14,000 16–25-year-olds each year.

Nathaniel Gregory from Meinhardt (UK) Ltd, said: “We’re hugely grateful to all of the participants and sponsors of this year’s event. It was a real privilege to be back at The Honourable Artillery Company and to see so many property professionals taking part, regardless of experience or ability.

“We have chosen to lend our support to Centrepoint, who do an amazing job in providing safe, warm, and stable places for young people to live. The charity also does much to help people tackle physical and mental health issues and develop independent living skills. We hope that the funds raised through the event will go some way to providing young people with access to education, employment, and training opportunities.”
