Which electronics company has the best footballers? The answer, it seems, is Broadcom, who have now won the 9th Silicon Gorge Football Tournament. The Broadcom 'A' team proved too strong for XMOS 'A' in the final, running out 5 - 1 winners. Icera and ST Micro were the losing semi-finalists who nobody will remember...

"130 engineers in 20 teams from 14 companies battled it out in the pouring rain," said Peter Davy, marketing manager of Mentor Graphics UK, which organises the event.
"The annual Mentor Graphics Silicon Gorge Football Tournament is an essential date in the diary of design engineers at some of this country's most innovative companies. Its good, competitive fun and they love it. Congratulations to the victorious Broadcom A team and to fellow finalist XMOS Semiconductor's A team".

Broadcom versus Qualcomm, now that would be a tasty 'derby' match. What other rivalries could be played out on the field? There must have been some Bristol-Bath derbies, for example. Or what about ARM versus Intel? Who would have most energy left in the second half? Leave any comments below.
