The first of this year’s annual WorldNET tournaments, the Big Tam Vets, kicks off in Leeds this weekend, July 16/17. This will be the ninth edition of the Vets tournament, which carries the nickname of Neil Love, a larger than life character who played for Airdrie in the early years of WorldNET. 15 teams will do battle at the University of Leeds’ Weetwood Playing Fields, with defending champions Bury hoping for a 4th tournament win.
