 ::: Cisco Euro Challenge :::
The Cisco Euro challenge turned out to be a very exciting and fun packed event. We were thrown in at the deep end, having no idea of what to expect. The first stage turning out a complete disaster! After that we became progressivly stronger, finishing the final stage in 5th place! We eventually managed to finish up in 47th place overall - not a bad result for a team that was finalised the night prior to event start.
