Catering at this years Nationals.
Catering plays a big part on a tournament. Its what gives you energy and if its not avaiable when you want it, and the food you want then you'll suffer. Catering can be from canteens and burger vans that don't understand sport and is not what you want. Thats why this year we've been working with a local professional chef to provide you with the kind of catering that you want, and that you'll need when you are playing at Nationals level. You can read more about it here.
