Day 6


Monut KGS, originally uploaded by simongman.

Today the boys started with some light training at Hammies ground where they were met by a party of parents that included the Fullford-Browns, the Kelsalls and the Ropers. As the teams prepared for tomorrow afternoon’s matches there was an U18 match between Hamilton Seapoint and Hampton School (England). The English side were the eventual winners, so lets hope we can match them. At 12.30 the boys were all set to move to the President Hotel by coach after de-camping all their kit and bags from the Breakwater Hotel. On route they stopped off to go up table Mountain which resulted in some fantastic views due to the continued good weather (Ha Ha, we read your comments on the blog that the weather in England is not so good, shame!). Struggling on in this very pleasant weather the boys finally arrived in the very posh Presidents Hotel. After checking in the boys had some chill time where a number of them braved the freezing waters of the swimming pool as the sun went down over the Atlantic ocean. (I am painting a lovely picture I think) Spirits are high as they look forward to tomorrow’s games. We will keep you posted.

A lot more photos from the match to come as the light should be ideal.

Congratulations all round, both teams , fantastic, what a confidence builder, to win.... you should all be very proud of yourselves, we for one are so pleased at your achievement as teams from KGS, together with the logistical support without none of this would have happened. Dad & mum and of course that other supporter Sydney. woof.
