Knowsley Safari Park was a triumph of organisation for the Merseyside hosts, delivered in style. The venue, accessibility and organisation drew plaudits all round and only a handful of clubs failed to get there. The build up to the event had been a challenge with difficult weather conditions making great demands on those involved in promoting this championship.
