Last weekend, 6 Elite Goalball teams gathered in Birmingham for the final tournament of the 2014/15 Elite League.
As always, the tournament was fiercely competitive, with tense and exciting matches coming one after the other. The stamina of each player was tested following a long and gruelling season, which tested their skill and ability.
