What a day at Canolfan Pentre Awel today raising money for Ty Bryngwyn Llanelli Hospice in memory of our beloved teammate and friend Annabel Hale.
Our first thank-you goes to Gomer Williams Solicitors who were the main sponsor of the tournament.
Thank-you to all of the umpires who gave up their time to officiate matches throughout the day. The tournament would not have been able to run without you.
Huge thanks to all of the volunteers that scored during the day. Our Laura enjoyed a little too much with the ho**er 🤣.
Jamie Edwards Photography who gave up his time and was there for the whole day capturing the event. Thank-you so much!
