Last weekend saw our second National Championships at Spring Lakes. The event saw 31 open teams, 6 womens sides & 7 teams in the returning youth category!
The competition was also the first national event to utilise Paddle Bubble, a new player/referee database and competition system. Also making their debut were some new clocks & scoreboards. Feedback forms on the event and the new systems will be on the way soon.
Thank you to our volunteers for helping make the event a success, and to the teams for helping ensure their kit passed the scrutineering!
Open Cup: Dispersus ๐ – The National League Division 1 side went on a winning spree on day 2, surpassing their own expectations to see-off several Prem clubs en-route to victory! Exactly the unpredictability we love this comp for. Dispersus win the opportunity to compete at the European Club Championships later this year.
