Overall it was a great day despite lower numbers of teams than last year that was enjoyed by the teams that participated along with their supporters and spectators.
The tournament gave players a taste of what is to come this season in terms of their competition and some insight into the skills, fitness and endurance required.
As always a number of volunteers assisted with the smooth running of the tournament along with TWHCNC officials.
