Halibut's Heroes Wrapup

Halibut was run and won over the weekend. Heroes to our credit surprised many with the performances we put in for our first tournament for many of our players. We did have the tougher side of the draw with both winners and runners up in it (John Doe & Bryon Bay). We managed to put some good plays together across the entire tournament and definitely progressed as a team throughout our 6 games. Every person on the line contributed as well which is not meant as a 'nice' thing to say, but really every person really did their parts, esp our girls on the second day. Adilia challenged them to step up to the boys performances on the Saturday and they responded very well.
Quick wrap of our games went like this:
