        etc. It is also divided into male and female divisions. Each Organisation 
        is entitled to enter two Junior teams (1 male and 1 female) as well as

        must be approved in advance by the organisers.  1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners receive medals plus Best Overall Trophies

        such as those above.  |
