This breaks the previous record of 15 team entries as – in addition to the U17, U14 and U12 divisions – an U10 division has been added as clubs expand their programmes to cover much younger age groups than they had previously.

The opening ceremony will take place at 10.30am; the first games begin at 11am and continue into the early evening.
