In a press release, the organizers voiced their concerns over the conduct of players in and out of the venue.
The event which was scheduled to commence at 2:30pm, only got underway at 4:15pm and concluded at 01:55am because of the “unbecoming and usual lackadaisical attitude of participating teams,” stated the released.
The organizers did say however, that despite those shortcomings, it turned out to be a great day for fathers as Ansa McAL had giveaways in the form of Stag Beers and Mackeson Stouts for lucky fathers while Banks DIH R1 Vodka and XM VXO Rum also had their promotions.
