The annual vice-captain’s challenge was also played at the weekend with Silverwood’s vice-captain Shane O’Neill’s selection playing against club captain Pete Graham’s selection, and in a close match it was the captain’s team that triumphed with a 7-5 victory - only the third time this has happened in 15 years.

It was a great day and all the matches were played in a great sense of fun and sportsmanship.

The captain and vice-captain would like to thank everyone who took part in the competition.
