First off a big thank you must be said to Phat'eds, Angels, Playthings, Alien Nation, Catch 22, OW, Albatross, Go Fish, Stanley Peaks, the Flourence Park Flowers and all the pick-up players for coming along and giving us such a great weekend. The weather can only be summarised as sunny, rainy, sunny, being on average pretty wonderful. The play was tough but fair and the spirit was just great. We'd like to give a special mention to the Flourence Park Flowers who came along and played with us on Saturday in this their first tournament. The Flowers are a new team who we enjoyed meeting and we hope to see much more off in the future. Every game that I had a chance of seeing was played with great spirit and friendship. A great example of which was the tournament final played between Catch 22 and OW. Congratulations must go to both teams for playing so well and giving all the rest of such an exciting game to watch - especially during the two point cap. So to cut the bovine here are the final placings...... 1st - Catch 22 (Final - Winner of a Kowpat and Cup) 2nd - OW 3rd - Alien Nation 4th - Go Fish 5th - Stanley Peaks (Plate Final - Winner of a Kowpat and Plate) 6th - Playthings 7th - Pick-Up 8th - Albatross 9th - Angels (Spoon Final - Winner of a Kowpat and Spoon) 10th - Phat'eds 11th - Mad Kows (1) 12th - Mad Kows (2) For those of you who really want to know, the official match results are added to the end of this message, so you'll just have to read on. The Spirit Award; a complete matching set of artificial Kow-skin team hats, was given by a majority vote (even after a post final vote switch from Catch 22 - bless'em) to the Phat'eds. These are of an exclusive design not be found in your average high street store, so look out for them on a Phat'ed near you. Well thats the long and the short of it - thanks for reading this far. A few items of lost property have been found so if you lost anything please get in touch. See you all next year. Thanks, Trevor.
