Edinburgh Festiball to celebrate 20th anniversary this August

The 20th version of the Edinburgh Festiball will be played this year on the weekend of August 28-29 at Peffermill Playing Fields, bringing back memories of the first-ever Festiball, conceived by Andy Cannon of the Picts Softball Club and contested by just two teams in Holyrood Park in 1991. Since then, the tournament has had a number of locations before settling at Peffermill in 1997, and has grown in popularity, with a maximum of 36 teams taking part in 2007. The fact that the Festiball coincides with the Edinburgh Festival and Fringe each year has undoubtedly contributed to the tournament's success, but so has excellent facilities and organisation and some interesting formats. This is a fantastic tournament and lots of fun. So why not get your team organised, or get a bunch of randoms from throughout the league together. A great time is guaranteed...
