ORGANISERS of the York International Nines hailed the tournament a huge success after Barrie McDermott's Ambassadors lifted the Fairfax Cup.
The Ambassadors, pictured below, donated their £2,000 prize money to the Brennan Rooney Fund, a charity set up for Wakefield Trinity star Jamie Rooney's son, who has cerebral palsy.
Tournament chairman Neal Coupland said: "It's such a fast-paced and exciting tournament. Rugby league was the big winner, as was the Brennan Rooney Fund, which was a fitting way to end. It's been a tremendous success from all angles."
The tournament, held at Heworth's Elmpark Way ground, attracted a crowd of about 1,700.
