THIS year’s round of an annual team sports tournament has been hailed a success by the event’s organisers and sponsors, who are hoping to beat their fundraising target.

AFM Superteams 2008 involved more competitors than ever before. Chris Leach, AFM’s managing director, said that this year’s competition had exceeded expectations.

‘2008 has proved to be an outstanding year for AFM Superteams, with around 450 competitors, from novice upwards, battling it out over 10 events.

‘We saw some terrific performances at all levels, with a great atmosphere and plenty of fun. I think everyone involved would agree that this event really has come of age.’

The tournament is organised by Guernsey Round Table and raises money for the Guernsey Cheshire Homes and MS Society.
Last year it raised £6,500, which was split equally between the two charities.
