Thanks also to Angie and Anthea, Irene Tan, Eric and Iris for helping at the match desk.

Annie , my wife was the compere and as usual she did a stunning job.

Thanks to Matt Posa too for getting the PA system up and running.

It was great to see some of the younger players from last year's tournament competing again this year. Their improved badminton skills were very obvious from the last tournament thanks to Yuli's training.

I look forward to sponsoring the tournament again next year.
