From Steven:

Firstly, I want to say how terrific it was to have 33 players at the lightning on tuesday. This is by far and away the biggest attendance we’ve had at a single night in many years. Special thanks goes to Tony for getting a number of juniors down, however there were a large number of senior players, which is exciting for the year ahead.

Attached are the results for the tournament, Dean, David and Vishal jointly won with 6/7, well done to the winners.

Next week is the start of the next 5 round tournament, the Purdy Cup.
