Organiser Kennedy Wainwright was encouraged with the first week of the event which saw the teams shake off their cobwebs heading into the second week of fixtures.“The first week gave everyone a look at who are the strong sides in the tournament so far and what they have to do in the next two rounds to get maximum points to go through to the knock out stage,” said Wainwright.“The teams are very much balanced and most of the goals came from errors and fatigue, but some good entertaining football is being played thus far.”
