    Think SDFC had event fatigue, 40 years long time to be organising an event for a largely similar committee.
    Great event to watch and play in. Summer soccer meant it lost the LOI teams and some of the lustre.
    The 1991 final was something else 2 GUFC teams in it after winning cup and about 5000 watching.
    Hopefully the new version will last as long

    First fives I ever went to. I think GU's "B" team beat the first team 5-1. That was a great United team.
