Apologies for the delay in announcing this. I have delayed announcing the tournament as there have been venue issues, which are still being resolved.

However, the tournament is definately going ahead as planned.

The individual will be on Saturday and the team on Sunday as usual.

Flick off on both days will be 09:30.

Entry fees will be the same as last year:

Open/Vets: £10.00
Under 19/15: £5.00

Please enter either via Email to myself of course.

I have already received a number of entries as it has been advertised since last year on the fortnightly FISTF updates formerly sent by Vincent.

As soon as venue details are confirmed, which will be imminent, I will let everyone know.

Again please accept my apologies for the lateness of this announcement.

Look forward to seeing a lot of you soon!
