Long before the BEN 5-a-side you could already sense the pre-match tension. The kit has been ordered, training has been ramped up and talk around the office is not just about dealer profitability and the latest developments in IT, but the strongest formations and who should play in what position.
Frankly, we're as excited about playing in the Derby Soccerdome as we expect the England team were about catching the plane to South Africa. Oh - and importantly - we're raising as much money for BEN as we can which is, after all, what the tournament is about! We can't wait for the challenge, and fingers crossed we'll bring home the silverware... but if we don't, we'll just be glad we were involved.

Team Jaijo are also looking forward to this weekend's exploits. The team are fit and raring to go, although not too sure about some of our team's decision to sample the delights of Derby's nightlife the night before. Looking forward to raising money for BEN, and raising the trophy too!
