The Network Challenge Trophy

Not content with the competitiveness of the MAD UK Sports – which in the past has even led for an ambulance shaped obstruction to be spotted on the Kabaddi Pitch….

Not content by the ‘trash talk’ often heard at Network Open Weekend…

A County Challenge Trophy was created!

The current holders of the trophy cannot initiate a Challenge; they must wait to be challenged…

The challengers decide on the activity for both teams to compete against each other.

Round One: Bowled Over…

Starting Network: Phoenix
Challengers: Morphians

Phoenix’s Chosen Activity – Bowling…

The two rival networks met at Hollywood Bowl on Tues 24th January 2006. After settling into their lanes, battle commenced…

The two teams eager to be victorious bowled well. As the game continued it became evident that Matt from Morphians was turning out to be Morphians’ secret weapon. After both teams scoring well, Jane (Morphians) and Jennie (Phoenix) worked out the teams’ average score…

Winners: Morphians

Round Two: You can make me Dance, Sing or Anything…

Current Holders: Morphians
Challengers: Centurions

Morphians Chosen Activity: Singstar and Dance Mats

The Networks met on Morphians home turf – 3rd Brentwood Scout Hut on Tuesday 6th March 2007. With over a year since their first clash – will Morphians hold on to their title?

With one projector and two televisions, it proved to be an almighty battle of not only skill, but concentration. Consoles included: X-Box, Nintendo and a Playstation 2. And games ranged from Singstar to the Mario Brothers.

Both teams used their feet, vocal chords, poseable thumbs and brain power to their advantage. When the team’s average score was calculated…

Winners: Morphians

Round Three: Any Questions?

Current Holders: Morphians
Challengers: Oblivion

Morphians Chosen Activity: Quiz Night

The Networkers battlefield was O’Neill's Pub Quiz in Brentwood, on Tuesday 16th of October. Testing everything from their general knowledge to celebrity gossip!

All points were added up. And when the Quiz master called out the scores Morphians had won by a single point! – they also walked away with a bottle of wine, for having the best name!

Winners: Morphians

Round Four: Run, Forest Run!

Current Holders: Morphians
Challengers: Centurions

Morphians’ Chosen Activity – Assault Course

It was not the first time these two networks have clashed in a fight for the Challenge Trophy... On Tuesday 20th May 2008 the networks clashed again! Yet this time Morphians had chosen a particularly physical activity. Thriftwood Assault Course would be the arena where gladiators form both sides would compete.

It was agreed that each network could have as many competitors as they liked, the networker with the fastest time would take the trophy home on behalf of their network. Centurion’s Anthony was in the lead from the beginning and completed the course in under 1 minute! With most of Morphs completing it in over a minute (in some cases over 3 minutes) Until Alex from Morphians was persuaded to take part. He completed the course 3 seconds quicker than Antony and therefore the trophy continued to stay with the undefeated Morphians!

Winners: Morphians

Round Five - (at MAD June 2009) was won by Spitfire following a game of Kubbs
