Training - Less than 48 hours to lift off...

30th December 2013

It was great to see everyone turn up to training eager and ready to go.
A couple of special guest appearances by Mr. "Gilly" Giltrap and Mr. Macoustra added to the sense of occasion and that the boys were just hours away from embarking on a truly memorable journey.

Under the watchful eyes of Coaches Thomlinson and Toth, the Tour Squad flushed out any cobwebs associated with too much festive feasting and watching the Big Bash on the box. Though there was much to talk about with a pleasing Ashes scoreline leading into the Sydney Test (well, at least for those following the Green Caps...)

Tour kits were given out, as well as some additional fare to take to Soweto for the first few days of our adventure. There is a book running on which tourist will forget essential items and remember at the airport - at the time of posting Brad and Brendan are favourites to leave an item or two, closely followed by Coach Toth.

Thank you to all the parents, Cricket Club committee and staff such as Mrs. Randall that have helped get us to this point. All that's left is to turn up to the airport on time - 7:30am (7:00am for Max)

  1. Good luck boys. Hopefully by now you've already seen the Big Five in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve.

  2. Cheers Craig. We saw five of the deadly seven. Unfortunately no leopards or buffaloes. Great to see lions though. Hope Nic is well and getting plenty of runs for NDs - maybe not so many against Uni though...
