The Dorothy Wadham Building football team wins the annual match against Merifield

Date Published: 29.04.2024

This year's Giving Day activities kicked off with the annual Merifield vs Dorothy Wadham Building football challenge.

Managers of our two satellite sites, Merifield and DWB, and football rivals, Lindsay and Melissa, cheered on their teams from the sidelines on a rare sunny afternoon in April. A close match was played at the Merifield sports grounds in Summertown, with DWB striving to win back the cup from last year's victors, Merifield. There was little between the teams until DWB snatched the lead at half time. Their determination paid off and the score was 6 - 2 to them when the final whistle blew.

Well done everyone! The cup is in pride of place in Melissa's office at the Dorothy Wadham Building this year, with Lindsay determined to lift it again in 2025. Check out our next Giving Day to find out what happens!
