The PLAYR-FIT Business 5s tournament is an annual five-a-side football competition organised by PLAYR-FIT. The event provides local businesses with an opportunity to engage in friendly competition, promote team building, and network with industry peers. Each participating team receives a bespoke set of PLAYR-FIT jerseys featuring their company logo and colours, along with food & water on the day provided by our kind sponsors DELI LITES & Rocwell Water.

Beyond fostering camaraderie among businesses, the tournament serves a charitable purpose. Proceeds from the event are donated to local charities, notably PIPS Hope and Support (from 2021-2024), an organisation dedicated to suicide prevention and mental health services. Over the past three years, the tournament has raised more than £15,500 for PIPS, significantly contributing to help us with our community support efforts.

The 2025 edition of the tournament is scheduled took place across 2 weeks at Newry Cages on Friday, June 6th & 13th. With a £200 entry fee and PLAYR-FIT covering the cost of the jerseys, we ensure that all entry fees go directly to our new charity partner, Evora Hospice (formerly Southern Area Hospice Services).

Incredible community spirit on display once again - uniting local businesses for a great cause. We are proud to be part of something that brings people together through sport and purposeOur fourth year running the annual event and we’ve raised over £6,500 (and counting!) for our amazing charity partner, Evora Hospice (formerly Southern Area Hospice Services).

Over 250 participants were involved and 32 brand new bespoke jerseys were designed. Thank you to our generous sponsors DELI LITES and Rocwell for getting involved in helping keep everyone fed and watered. We’re already looking forward to making next year even bigger and better!
