The fourth edition of this tournament saw five teams from the UK and abroad battle it out at Oaklands Park Softball Field in fine Sussex weather.

Competing along with the host team, Chichester Falcons, were Team London, headed up by Chiemi Saito, Patriots from Paris, led by Will Notue, the Ghosts from Paris, coached by Anthony Anastasio, and a new team to fastpitch, the Vikings from Gosport, who play in the local slowpitch league, captained by Jaane Rowehl.

Each team played 4 games in a round robin spread across all of Saturday and Sunday morning, before breaking into a playoff bracket and finals.

The Ghosts were strong in the early stages of the tournament thanks to some fine pitching from Estelle Mayer. Vikings, extremely well organised and bolstered by the presence of experienced pitcher Sam Grafton, held their ground well and notched up a few wins while Chichester struggled a little in the early stages. Team London were classy as predicted, with several GBFL stalwarts in their ranks including Tiernan Evans and Jose Fermin at the rubber. The Patriots, as usual, had a large squad with plenty of depth and talent, playing with style and good spirit.

At the end of play on Saturday, the pitching machine came out for the now legendary home run derby. Each player had five swings to try to hit the furthest, the winners being Josh Bristow and Crista Reed-Thomas, both representing the Falcons.

The round robin stage ended with Ghosts on top, Falcons on the bottom and Vikings right in the middle. However, Chichester rallied through the playoffs to find themselves in the final with Team London while Patriots and Vikings battled for 4th and 5th place, leaving Ghosts to take automatic 3rd place. Vikings completed a superb weekend by winning over the Patriots to take 4th, and the final played out as a classic pitchers duel with Hugh Scorgie taking on Jose Fermin in a low scoring, tight game which was close right until the last inning where the Falcons managed to break away and take the winners trophy.

MVPs for the tournament were Estelle Mayer (Ghosts) and Ieuan Gale (Falcons).
