Considering the carnage that was witnessed on tour last weekend, the turn out was encouraging. Around 12 turned up, with 4 or 5 feeling the effects of 2 games in 2 days over the weekend.

I think it's fair to say the lads were a bit rusty after a 2 month break from football...

Ben put the guys through some basic football and fitness drills to get an idea of where we’re at and judging by the performance we have some way to go between now and August 28th.

Highlights included seeing Phill Dodds get involved with the fitness training for possibly the first time ever, Andy Davies looking like a show pony during the heel kicks and Dan Schiavo’s general lack of hand-eye coordination during the jumping jacks and header drills…. I won’t mention the awareness drill!

So, our next session is 12pm this Sunday (17th), followed by next Tuesday (19th)at 7.30pm, both at Pontcanna Fields... make sure you’re there lads!
