Last Training Session before we go ....

The group had a last training session with 70 Year 7 students yesterday afternoon.  There were some outstanding coaching performances and it was a valuable session to prepare for next week.
In addition we unloaded a minibus load of donated textbooks that will be shipped out to the schools we support in Zambia.
Looking forward to bag packing next week. The Tag Rugby kit we are taking out will be a legacy for the 2019 Tour as it will all be donated to schools so they can continue to play.

Day 2

Good Evening Everybody.  Apologies wifi is so slow that I have been unable to upload photos as it was taking ages! We will employ new technology from tomorrow - a message attached to a pigeon's leg!!

After saying goodbye to the kids, we then headed back to the hotel and ate some lovely cheese rolls (my fave).  We then set off to Victoria Falls and on our way saw a family of elephants.  When we arrived we were greeted by some cheeky baboons trying to steal our stuff.  We then looked around the little markets and of course I bought a lot of things I do not need!  We then made our way down to Victoria Falls through the most beautiful rainforest over all the rocks (Mum would not have enjoyed it!!).  We then saw the bottom of the waterfall and even paddled in th...

Tournament Day By Hal Williams Hello all, today was an early start as our dorm woke up at 5.40am because of the wrong alarm!  We got to the rugby pitches at 7.30, the teams slowly rolled in and around 20 teams turned up.  We reffed until around 1.30 and gave our second polo shirts to the winners and gave all the spare kit to the schools.  We had classic cheese/ham sandwiches and at 3.45 we traveled to the sunset cruise and ate food and got to see crocodiles, hippos and elephants.  The views were stunning and the trip was different, but enjoyable experience. Our Last Tournament and River Cruise by Libby Earl Hi to everyone reading this it's Libby here.  Today was our last tournament of the trip, we woke up, had breakfast and left.  I was feeling especially energized today as I have had an unusual craving for peanut butter and the other day I was able to get my hands on some at the supermarket....
