Russell Wood of Enterprise Inns, who with Fosters jointly sponsored the Preview tournaments, said: "It's always been a pleasure working with the CVA team, they repeatedly show their innovation, commitment and understanding of online tournaments, while being able to deliver the creative marketing and efficient administration that is essential for this facet of our industry’s future"

Meanwhile, the PGA Tour Golf tournament was won by David Cooper of Liverpool Direct. This secured him a Weekend break for two in Dublin, sponsored by CVA's Eire GA distributor Pool Ireland XL.

Dan Flynn of Pool Ireland commented: "PGA Golf is going very well in Ireland, the cash box is excellent in play-for-fun mode but once you get these machines connected to the tournament the takes can go through the Roof."
