Tournament

another and an opportunity for those who has never participated

proximity (just 5 mins away from the Causeway) and "so far"
because we have once again missed out on a semi final placing.
"So close" because we are 1 pellet short of qualifying and "so
far" because we might never and will never have a MPOC leg in
