Update on the Regions

Regional Trials (Stage 2)
The regional trials held in November were a very positive step for the programme and the staff involved gave over 160 players the opportunity to become part of the Regional set up

Regional Tournament (Stage 3) - Champions; Southern Universities
The Regional tournament took place this Monday and Tuesday at Warwick University with 65 players and 16 members of staff attending. The tournament was a real success and showcased the talent we have in the HE sector. The tournament came down to the wire and Southern Universities were crowned Champions after the beating Northern Universities on penalties in the last game. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the staff and Warwick University for making the two days runs so smoothly. Credit to the players who played the tournament in such a professional and committed manor - a real credit to HE.
