“Friendship first, tournament second” – the outcome is not what is important. Through actual competition, these young players from three different places not only improved their playing skills, but also met new friends and exchanged tactical strategies with each other. While the players were busy doing that, the fans enjoyed watching the different individual styles of these next generation players from England, Hong Kong and Guangdong!
