The Friendship Circle’s inaugural padel tournament – sponsored by Together and held at Pure Padel in Manchester – was a huge success, with 65 participants taking part in two thrilling tournaments, raising an impressive £8,500 to support the charity’s vital work. The day was filled with high-energy and not to mention some fierce competition; the atmosphere at the venue was electric, with the vibrant purple hues of The Friendship Circle’s colours creating an exciting and welcoming backdrop for all involved.
The morning tournament saw Richard Abelson crowned as the winner, while Jay Franks claimed the trophy in the afternoon competition. Both players showcased incredible skill and sportsmanship throughout the day, making for an exciting event enjoyed by everyone who took part. Marc Goldberg, CEO of Together, commented: “We are so proud that Together has been able to support The Friendship Circle with one of their key fundraising events.
