So on Sunday TBWA\Manchester entered a team into the inaugral Creative Cup, pitting 32 of Manchesters creative agencies against each other in an all or nothing battle to the death/5-a-side football tournament  Enduring unseasonally high temperatures, some of sporting hangovers (Paul), and illness (Sean) and with the games coming thick and fast, Team TBWA managed to win 8 games on the bounce before an unlucky penalty shootout defeat in the semi-finals cruelly knocked Team TBWA out.

All in all Creative Cup was a great day, the weather was awesome and nearly £2000 was raised for charity. It was just unfortunate we couldn't walk away with the cup, but there's always next year!
