MW8 - SUMMER LEAGUE - FOOTBALL

This week at Secta, Wieden + Kennedy spoil the McCann London party, VCCP roll back through in style and some managers have questions to answer 👀

The highlights 📸

There’s only one place to start.

Secta's biggest rivalry. McCann London vs. Wieden + Kennedy.

Well, is it a rivalry if one side keeps winning? 😬

Yeah, you guessed it. Wieden’s went and bopped McCann, again. Initially a close game and a show of fine talent from both teams. Until Wieden's activated full beast mode, elevating their game to new heights and leaving McCann with much to reflect upon. It’s McCann’s first loss of the season and opens the door for the chasing pack 🏇

Talking of the title race. Anomaly, well and truly in it after they continue to go quietly about their business against The Mill. A tight game with both sides having their fair share of chances. It’s been a fall from grace for The Mill after a strong start to the season. Can they regain the form that shot them to the top of the table at the start of the season? 📉

VCCP build on their free win and for the first time this year, actually turn up to Shoreditch.

And turn up they did.

At times it looked like shooting practice and despite their hiatus from the game, were pretty damn good at it.

adam&eveDDB arrived in town looking to prepare for their big game against Lucozade Sport. New signing, Tasker, made an instant impact with a bank of skills on show for his debut performance. A well-needed signing for adam&eveDDB as they move from the bottom spot. A tough gig for Saatchi & Saatchi as their opponents appeared to stumble across some form when it counted 🫣

🚨 Managers in trouble 🚨

AMV BBDO returned fresh-legged after a week off and bounce back from 3 losses on the trot. A big win that will quieten murmurs Sadler's position is under threat. VMLY&R are searching for their first win in 7 weeks and questions will be asked if captain Jones can turn this around ♻️

Cumming, another manager fighting for his position.
Similar to VMLY&R, this week's loss against We Are Social marks their 7th week without a victory. It’s rumoured he’s currently cycling in the Hebrides to reflect upon his future after unrest from players at camp BBH London. After failing to replace talisman Adjei, is he receiving enough support from the board?
