Cash & Carry Cup – who won the money?

The Delta Invitational / Cash & Carry Cup was hosted at the Richmond Olympic Oval this past weekend.

It’s a really fun competition made even more interesting because it has cash prizes.

Darren Wong cleaned up and took home $1800 (which he generously donated all of it to BC Children’s Hospital!). He scored a perfect 10.0 on floor!

Devy Dyson came second, taking home $1250. He scored two 9.95’s, on PB and HB.
