our standard improved over the 2 days. Granted we only won one game but as it was our first ever tournament we didn't even expect that much. I think a division 4 would have been a good idea to encourage more teams like us to arrive. we gave it out as hard as we could and took some points in each and every game, which for us was a big achievement.
we did have a couple of bad ref calls but at the end of the day i don't think they would have affected the outcome of our games.
generally the reffing was excellent and many thanks to all of those guys for helping to put us at ease.
also a big thankyou to those teams who encouraged us all the way, especially reign of fire, icelanders and jersey warriors.
anyway back to topic, the standard of play was generally very good, and fair which is important too. i feel that it is pointless having divisions if you are going to end up playing as many div2 and 1 teams as you do div 3 teams, but hey, we had a great time anyway.
all of the team just wanted to wish anyone we came in contact with all the best and i am sure we will see you at one or two of the smaller tourneys next year!!!!
best wishes from all at awol ireland!!
