What an achievement in Wales...qualifying for the AWAI Final at Rutland. Who are people kidding when they say 'the Irish don't know how to catch Rainbows!' Bring it on!
ReplyDeleteI must say a big thank you to Andrew and his team for his very generous and greatly appreciated sponsorship. We hope we can return the favour by publicising your brand as much as possible!
Many thanks and maybe see you at Rutland!!!
