The annual end of season EFA Dinner took place at Eton on Saturday 8 May with nearly 60 guests present and proved to be the usual convivial occasion, splendidly organised by EFA President Michael Constantinidi.
EFA Chairman Richard Barber spoke as entertainingly as always and made mention of all the exciting progress and inititatives going on in the world of Fives at the moment as well as passing on the baton to his successor Peter Worth. The season's trophies were then presented by Mark Williams and Richard Barber, with James Toop and Matthew Wiseman the stars of the evening in that respect, collecting the Kinnaird Cup, London Tournament and Northern Tournament trophies as well as being part of the League and Barber Cup winning Olavian teams. Luckily Matt had remembered to bring a large bag along with him to carry away the loot at the end of the evening!
