What They Are Saying
Wingate senior Alfie Storer
 
"It was great to get the spring season started and knock some rust off after the winter break. As a team, it wasn't the result we were seeking, but it's a strong building block and something we can definitely build on going forward. I would like to give a special shout-out to our individual Mattia D'Errico for finishing tied for fourth place. We believe he has a bright future ahead."
