WOW! It stayed dry on Sunday 10th of August at Bournemouth Sports Club (Hurn).

16 teams from near and far including a team from woking in surrey and one from Basingstoke in Hampshire all battled out to win the 2008 Christchurch Regatta famous trophy.

Organizer Alex Collis was getting worried 3 weeks before the event as only 6 teams came forward. Upon writing a plea to the Bournemouth Echo, he managed to pull in another 10 teams!

The teams as follows were:

• MBW (Mercedes Benz World) from Woking, Surrey - 2008 winners
  
  
• Queens Park FC - 2007 winners and 2008 runners up
  
  
• Twynham East, Christchurch - 3rd place
  
  
• Aspects
  
  
• Trinidad FC, Southbourne FC, Priory Quays, Fernside Sports 1/2, Rockbourne
  FC, Ace fabrications, The Waterboys from Basingstoke, Bransgore Rangers,
  FCbh23, Twynham rangers res.

Alex would like to thank Bounemouth Sports Club for their support, 2CR FM, his wife Carol Collis for all her help and putting up with his stress leading up to the events.
