Core Savills took part in a gruelling six matches on Friday, before beating Alec in the men’s final 6-3 to become the first team in the history of the Zurich Corporate Touch 6s to successfully defend their title.
The victors, led by David Abood, had to contend with a record number of teams taking part in the event to clinch the much-coveted Winners’ Cup.
Team captain David said: “Coming back to the tournament for the second time, we were feeling the pressure to defend out title. We didn’t have as many substitutes this year and the competition was much harder than 2016, but the guys worked hard and did us proud!”
