Contributed by: Aaron Richard Tuesday, September 11 2007 @ 08:58 am ACST

The Manchester tournament held last weekend saw four representative teams from around Britain - representing the best locals from the British ARFL, Scottish ARFL, Welsh AFL and Aussie Rules UK - mix it with the home-town Manchester Mosquitos for a five team tournament.

The BARFL's British Bulldogs[*1] finished the tournament undefeated with a massive percentage of 829.6% - having defeated the ARUK England Dragonslayers[*2] 86-1, Manchester[*3] 62-7, Wales[*4] 37-1 and Scotland 38-18. The SARFL's Scottish Puffins[*5] finished second overall on the points table, but as they were fielding more than the quota of Australians, the Grand Final saw the Bulldogs take on third-placed Manchester, winning 28-3.

Full scores follow.

Player of the tournament: Adam Bennett (GB Bulldogs), with Chris "Baz" Sproule (Manchester) Runner-Up.
