And the Ste Foy and Limburg teams presented Lichfield with souvenirs of their own clubs.

Limburg were represented by Stefan Grussinger, Georg Reitz, Hans-Gunter Orlowski, Markus Normann, and Erich and Sophie Gartner.

An excellent weekend was had by all, with a terrific tournament played in a spirit of competitive friendship enjoyed by everyone.

 

Roll on 2010!
