Fierce competition is always anticipated from the worthiest contenders all fighting for the prestigious silverware and the title awarded in a Laurent Perrier Champagne-soaked presentation on finals day (Saturday 2nd July). The exhibition series will attract highly skilled teams and players from around the world to Chester and spectators will get the opportunity to witness outstanding play and sportsmanship in serious games of skill across the two days.
