 | Russell McKinnon (11.11.2005) The club is still in negotiations for the final two teams with the Japanese national team, 2003 champion Rari Nantes Florentia from Italy, the Olympic Club from the United States and a combined Croatian first division team in the crosshairs. It will be the third edition of the popular event, which attracts crowds of 2000 people to the sessions between December 27 and 30.
A junior event is run in conjunction and this has attracted three teams from New Zealand, two from Cronulla in Sydney and possibly the Serbia and Montenegro youth team, along with teams from Perth. Neesham, who is also the national senior men's coach, said it was a tremendous event, which had seen so many sponsors jump on board and pleased so many spectators in its initial two years. The event gives Perth two major international events during the Christmas-New Year period with the Hopman Cup mixed tennis event starting immediately after the Tom Hoad Cup.
