Unfortunately, I was unable to attend Sunday's Finals Day but I am reliably informed that it was a most enjoyable day for all of those who took part in or witnessed the event and the matches that took place.
Many thanks to Doug who ran the competitions, Ivan, the Pulled Pork King, for the barbecue and to all those who helped out, on the day, to make it a very successful event.
