Thank you to all clubs who came along and supported, and very special thanks to those who willingly and selflessly gave up their time to officiate so that a competition could take place.
After every event we look at what worked and what needs to be done better to make the event bigger, better and more efficient next time.
We look forward to seeing many of you again in 2020
Michael Muleta, Tournament Director
