Thanks for everyone for coming along for a record-breaking tournament. We had 60 in the Secondary (Open) section which blows out of the water the 21 we had in 2020 and 2018. With 31 in the Primary and 29 in the P5 & Under all sections were well represented. We also had a good range of experience with some of the top junior players in the country battling it out for first place and a lot of novice players enjoying their first tournament. We hope we’ll see them all back at future tournaments.
