Portugal triumphed in the recent Comic Relief ‘Mini World Cup’ Challenge, in a bid to raise money for Red Nose Day.

Manan Ltd, the UK’s only full service dental marketing agency, brought togethersome of the biggest names in dentistry for a table football tournament. The day was a huge success and saw Straumann, DPAS, Purple Media, FMC and Dental Tribune compete for the coveted “World Cup” at Manan’s offices in Haddenham, Buckinghamshire.

‘Team Portugal’: Quentin Skinner, DPAS Chairman, and Manan’s very own Matthew Fearn; and ‘Team New Zealand’: Chris Greville and Richard McGowan, Product Managers from Straumann, beat off stiff competition to make it to the final round. It was close, but Portugal brought home the trophy in the final round, beating New Zealand 10-8.

On the day, attendees also took part in other fundraising activities, including a football quiz, won by Dental Tribune’s Joe Aspis; “keepie uppies”; FIFA on Xbox; and the spinning bike challenge. All proceeds went directly to Comic Relief. However, it’s not too late, donations can still be made online via http://my.rednoseday.com/sponsor/mananminiworldcup
