Murray Bridge are set to host the first Fast4 tournament held in South Australia on the 14-15 December. The tournament titled Murray Bridge Fast4 White Junior Tour will see players in the 10/u, 12/u, 14/u and 16/u age groups compete over the two days using the Fast4 match format. The Fast4 tournaments have been developed to provide a shorter tournament playing experience where players have the opportunity to play more matches.
The tournament is a singles only event with players expected to get a minimum of five matches over the two days.
