Leicester Tournament – Some of our best football ever?

Congratulations Sharks on some excellent football yesterday!

It would have been nice to take two teams, but unfortunately there were a number of Makos who could not make the trip. What it did mean was that those Makos who did travel got to play in some very good games and every single one…
