In preparation for the U19 World Cup taking place in New Zealand this year, the UCB hosted an U19 international triangular tournament during December. The tournament made use of 2 venues, King Edward VII School and our neightbours St John's. The participating nations were South Africa, India and Sri Lanka.

Despite the unseasonable rain the tournament was hotly contested with the hosts eventually winning through to the final against India. Unfortunately the final was never played due to rain, and India were declared winners by virtue of their superior log position.
