The classic also served as a chance for junior state teams to test their metal against tough competition before heading to nationals in July.
"We've got our under 16 girls [state team] playing as well as the under 16 boys playing in the under 18s comp," Boucher said.
"They use this as a last tune up against some decent competition."
