Special thanks to all the parents who also travelled and whose support was superb.

Temperature over the two days was 26 / 27 degrees - very hot and energy sapping with the boys playing 7 games in each age group. 3 on the 1st day and 4 on the 2nd day !!

All Players were outstanding and were excellent ambassadors for both club and country.
