business professionals in and around Southampton swapped their business suits for a football strip to take part in the inaugural Numerica five-a-side charity shield.

Twenty teams of local businesses, predominantly from the banking, law and accounting sectors, took part in a series of group matches and play-offs.

Money was also raised on the night for the Asian tsunami relief effort.
