One of the organisers, Simeon Ealedona acknowledged those who participated in the games and also those who supported in the fundraising events that led up to the Charity Cup.
He said “ Thank you to those that turned up at the field and flew the PX flag high & proud. It was rewarding to get to know our fellow colleagues and get away from our hectic working life. As the Jetz saying goes ‘We are more than just a club, we are family’. We look forward to an even bigger & better 2018 and hope to field more teams as the interest grows.”
