Even though it didn't work out as planned, my 6-A-Side football tournament was a
great success!
The original plan was to have 16 teams play, kick off was suppose to start at 11am and should have finished at 5pm. But one thing I have learn't with fund raising is that A LOT of people make promises then go back on their word! I had a 'secure' 12 teams ready to play until the week of the tournament when teams started to drop out, this happened all the way up until the night before the tournament so I was then left with 8 teams on the day.
Even though it was half of the amount I wanted, it still turned out great! Kick off was a little bit late so we were running behind on time throughout the day however since we only had 8 teams we had nothing to worry about.

The end result
