The players showcased their impressive skills and strategized their moves. After a fierce battle, Jamie and Nick emerged victorious demonstrating their remarkable teamwork and unwavering determination to have their names added to the coveted trophy! After a brief trophy and prize presentation, the evening concluded with cocktails and a delicious dinner, where all players celebrated the Selwyn spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie.
