Event details
The inaugural BB14 Business Masters begins in September with teams being signed up through August and early September.
The Masters is the brainchild of Martin Allan (BB14 chairman) who aims to make the event an annual competition to be held at the Ben Bradford pitch that the BB14 Charity is planning to construct. In this first year, participants will be able to play where the region’s top players ply their trade with games at Cormack Park and the Final on the Scottish Masters pitch at P&J Live.
The BB14 Business Masters Football is the first of its kind and the final will be the culmination of around 60 group stage matches. The support of Masters Football and P&J Live, along with other partners has been instrumental.
Rob Wicks of P&J Live was keen to continue the partnership with BB14, saying: “We’re proud to be working with the BB14 team for their large-scale charity dinner in October where we expect around 850 guests. The Charity is working hard to create a valuable facility for the region and working with Masters Football to create a flagship final was something we wanted to do for a Charity that works so hard to deliver for local people.”
This event offers local businesses a unique opportunity to support BB14 while contributing to an important local Charity. Mike Bradford (Ben's dad and BB14 Charity Founder) said: “Ben loved football and Aberdeen is a city that loves football too. We are delighted to have Cormack Park, P&J Live and Masters Football involved, and I’m very hopeful that local businesses will get behind the event, which will be fun, competitive I’m sure, but also an important contributor to our aims for creating positive change through sport."
