Thank you Nick!

Best of luck with comp tomorrow! Apologies again I can't make it but hope everyone has fun and pulls hard!

The competition whent well.

There were 36 competitors and a decent audience.

There are definitely things to improve for the next competition;
Namely the scoring system and the timing as it over ran quite badly.

Still, the matches were quality and there is much to be proud of.

We broke even and actually managed slightly over £200 profit wich will go towards the next tournament.

I will post the results tomorrow

Thanks again to everyone for helping to make it a great day!

well done, you learn with every comp the running of them.

Well done Jerome & Andrew - 36 competitors is a great turn-out!

It's always difficult to gauge numbers and split across weight classes with open draw comps, so I wouldn't worry too much about over running (most events usually do anyway)

Look forward to seeing the results.
