DERBY, U.K. - s4story -- Industry professionals from across the region turned out in force for the inaugural Construction & Property Padel Cup hosted by Derby-based project managers and construction cost consultants Armsons Barlow.

32 teams from leading construction and property companies came together at We Are Padel on Pride Park in Derby for an afternoon of friendly competition, networking and fundraising.

The tournament, organised in partnership with Derby County Community Trust (DCCT) and Clowes Developments, marked the launch of Armsons Barlow's fundraising initiatives for DCCT, who are the company's 2025 Charity of the Year.

The tournament involved four groups of eight teams battling it out for a place in the knockout stages.

Eventually Morecroft Electrical emerged as winners of the 'Champions League' final, winning the championship trophy, along with prizes donated by We Are Padel. Fisher German were crowned as 'Europa League' winners and FHP were awarded the coveted 'Wooden Spoon.'

The event raised an impressive £1,031.54 for Derby County Community Trust from a combination of the entry fee and through a raffle which featured a range of prizes, including a sparkling breakfast for two at Darley's, a corporate 4-ball at Horsley Lodge Golf Club and a signed Derby County shirt.
