Anna Hursey also competed extremely well throughout the competition very bright youngster for the future.

At the beginning of the day the kids were given the task of working hard throughout the day and to show good sportsmanship. Through the day the organiser commented on how good the players were showing good sportsmanship. As a coach I'm very pleased with all the kids but each now knows the areas they need to focus on.
