The 2008 Cardiff Uni Freshers Tournament was a big success, and a big improvement on last years. As well as credit to all the people who helped organise it, this success was also due to Notts, Sheffield and Reading unis for travelling some distance for an early start, and to Birmingham and Bristol for bringing enough players for multiple teams. While the uni teams showed a high standard for so early in the season, with lots of promising freshers, unsurprisingly the overall placings closely corellated with the number of experienced players in the teams.
The final was a very close and competitive match between Dragons and City, with the honours going to the Red side of the city this time, 8-5. Dragons goals came from Jen Smith (3), Josh Cockburn (2), Claire Knowles, Julie Saunders and Steve Fung. City’s goals came from Jason Green (3), Matt Hurford and Pete Christensen.
An excellent social then ensued.
