In beautiful conditions for football, Manchester Mozzies' annual pre-season tournament was played and won last Saturday April 10th, with the Wimbledon Hawks from the AFL London overcoming competition from around regional England and Ireland to take out the cup.

The Hawks finished top of the table, in a 5-team field including the Manchester Mozzies, Chippenham Redbacks, Sheffield Thunder and Ireland's Midland Tigers.

Player of the Tournament honours went to Garth Nevin, who this year has taken on the task of coordinating and coaching the Sheffield Thunder.

The next few weeks see British footy's pre-season tournament circuit continue, with the British "Clwb" Challenge in Cardiff on April 17th, and the Portsmouth National Club Championships and ANZAC Cup on April 24th.
