On Saturday June 7th the Dalian Wolfhounds contested their third ever major tournament as they entered the All China Games in Beijing. It was an absolutely memorable weekend for all of our traveling party and we flew the Wolfhound flag proudly for Dongbei with both the guys and the girls teams bringing home silverware.

The girls, along with our friends from Shenzhen and Shanghai, played brilliantly, winning 4 games and losing just 2 on the way to winning the Bowl. The guys, despite being placed in the tougher of the two groups, also performed creditably to win three games and lose 2. They eventually triumphed in the Plate Competition.

The Mens Cup was won by a strong outfit from Shanghai with Davy Hayes winning Player of the Tournament for the second year running. They defeated Beijing A in a tight final. The Ladies Cup was won by Beijing A who saw off Shanghai in a high class final.

For all 20 Wolfhounds who wandered south to Beijing for this competition, it was a magical weekend of fun and games which will never be forgotten. Beijing put on a wonderful tournament and everyone in Dalian would like to congratulate them on the success of the whole weekend. In particular we would like to express our appreciation to Aoife and Eve for all the hard work they put into making this tournament the huge success it was. We were treated with wonderful hospitality throughout and many of our players, new to this game, are now absolutely hooked. For this we want to say THANKS BEIJING! You will never know how much your efforts are appreciated up here in Dalian..
