The venue was very well prepared with gazebos and shelter from the sun.   Under 8’s played on the Nuns Field pitch, the Bishops Field pitch was well utilised and stewarded for parking, and Under 10’s used the main pitch.

Games were short at 10 minutes, to give breaks from the sun. No scorekeeping or medals were required for this event – they were all winners on the day, and there was lots of fun, friendship and great skills evident amongst the girls and great support from their families and clubs.
