Event Overview

“it was extremely well organised and well ran. It was a great atmosphere and everyone in our team really enjoyed it. Gail & Alison went out of their way to assist us in any way they could and we can’t wait until the next event!””
The tournament is open to all abilities from those new to the sport and those who are experienced players of the game. There is a cup and shield competition to ensure that teams are pitched against similar level opponents. The tournament prides itself on playing with a great spirit of respect and friendship.
