I bet everyone is excited for the upcoming Brunei Yorkshire Games this coming 22nd November 2014. What better way to hype it up than with a teaser video! The story follows two colleagues that have a misunderstanding and decide to battle it out on the dodgeball field! This year's highlight will be the addition of a new sport - Ultimate Frisbee. Enjoy and BruSheff looks forward to seeing you all at the Games!
