We hosted the Junior Tournament in April which was once again generously supported by Preston St IGA and again, was a fantastic success. The weather was awesome and to top it off, we had a host of Hensman juniors perform exceptionally well including a number playing their first ever tournament. The number of entrants was 190 making it one of the biggest tournaments in the state. Our thanks to our host of volunteers led by Ken McIntosh and also to Jan Budden for her excellent tournament management skills!! Thanks also to Geoff Baker MLA for attending the trophy presentation.
The article highlights the impressive turnout and success of the Junior Tournament, but it raises questions about sustainability and long-term engagement. With 190 entrants, the event's growth is evident. However, we must consider how initiatives like this can maintain momentum. The excitement surrounding Hellspin poses potential challenges in ensuring consistent participation beyond singular events.
