There's also plenty of photos from the tournament on the Facebook Page
Plenty of players stayed around for the presentation, with free pizza on offer & the presentation included not only the usual awarding of prizes, but the official unveiling of two plaques at the club dedicated to Andrew & Hannibal. With so many players remaining, it also offered a rare opportunity for a photo of participants in the tournament (as well as a few extras).
