WASTE WORLD CUP 2018
Where England may have come up just short in their bid to bring the World Cup home,
that certainly wasn’t the case for Mick George Ltd who for the second consecutive year
managed to claim industry bragging rights, defending their Waste World Cup title.
After an impressive
performance last year
which didn’t see them
concede a goal until the
knockout stages, they went
one better this time around
and didn’t concede a single
goal in the entire competi-

The oppositions goal
wasn’t quite so quiet, as
Mick George managed to
score twelve goals without
reply, owing largely to the
contribution of Luke Plumb

team’s tally.

relative ease, the last
encounter wasn’t quite as
straight forward. Grundon
put up a valiant effort and
took the game to penalty
kicks, but Mick George Ltd
were determined to see the
job through and came out
victorious with a 5-4 win.
