The Second Annual (2018) | The Invitational

2018 - The Second Annual Invitational

The Second Annual Invitational Horseshoe Tournament was held on September 15, 2018 at the Edwin R. Staffen Memorial Horseshoe Court at the Conover Town Park. Featuring a record eleven teams and a record high prize purse. Hot, sunny and still conditions meant that competitors had to stay hydrated and necessitated extra breaks between tournament rounds. The Beer Snobs took home the Timothy Winter Memorial Championship Trophy as 2018 Champions, with Horsing Around (Get It, Because We Are Playing Horseshoes) taking second place, and 2017 Champion Team Pitch taking third.
