Tournament director Simon Atherley believes the event has become recognised as the largest and most well organised of its type in Leicestershire.

Simon said: “There are a record 134 teams booked in with more than a thousand players expected to compete at age levels from under 7s to under 14s, and we hope to draw an attendance of up to 4,000 people a day.

“All we now need is some good weather!”
