On March 6-7, 2010, the 4th edition of the charity football tournament was held at Primary School No. 7 in Świdnik, the proceeds of which will be used to treat 5-year-old Jan Kowalik, suffering from cancer. 32 teams took part in the competition. Team HORTICO S.A. participated in the competition once again.
The tournament participants were divided into eight groups of four. In the first match, our team faced the team of the Świdnik County Office. After a fierce fight, HORTICO S.A. defeated their rival 4: 2, after goals from Tomasz Podgórski and Tomasz Zielony. The second game showed the weaknesses of our team – after the second foul on one of the rivals, our player Kamil Pogoda was awarded a second yellow card, and consequently a red card. The players of the Select team, who played with a lead, won the game 0: 2. The last group meeting was to decide the fate of the tournament and choose a team that will play in the 1/8 finals as the winner of the second place in group G. HORTICO S.A was undertaken by the OZB Tatary team, the match ended with a score of 2-2, which unfortunately did not allow our team to advance to the next phase of the tournament. Ultimately, HORTICO S.A. came 17th.
Thanks to the generosity of sponsors and participants of the game, we managed to collect PLN 10,000, which will certainly help Jan in his fight against the disease.
