Safe, fun drive up to Rockhampton. The Airbnb house was lovely, with views of Rockhampton city.

The competition started with Rockhampton hosting Teams and Double, and we received a warm welcome from the tournament host.

Our first game was against a very strong Rockhampton home team. Lots of friendly competition.
