Our third and last day of training started with a walk at 9am. I had another massage after that. About 11am, a couple of us headed into town looking for gift ideas. Were only there an hour but came away with a plan. Then it was time for our final training session. More of the same really with 2 12 minute sessions v 45s. Again we kept them scoreless and scored a goal ourselves through a contrived penalty flick. They had one as well, but our goalie saved it.
After showers, we had a team meeting and headed out to the welcome function. This was in a bar and it was the first time we’d got together with the men and with the new Zealanders. There was a bit of finger food and some short speeches. We then went back to the Londoner for dinner, as did the 35 team. Needless to say there was a bit of a rush on and the first of our buses left with some of our group still waiting for their dinner.
We are first of the rank tomorrow with the game at 9am and a proposed 6am wakeup time, so it will be an early night.
