    Monday (May 3rd)

  • In the past we would arrange games for monday morning but since the Sunday party has become a bigger and bigger night (read: drunker and drunker), teams were not keen, or in a fit state, to play. Therefore we now offer to arrange games for those who fancy a final outing - simply turn up to register for the Hangover Cup.
  • Grab some breakfast from the on-site van
  • Pack up camp and head home
