Revised Training Plan

I hope the four week gap in training has allowed students to concentrate on exams and work experience and come back fully refreshed and ready to work hard for the final 4 weeks.

I cannot stress how important it is that we have 27 lads at every session from here on in. We have to come together and build our game plan and our playing patterns. Friday sessions are equally important to gaining an understanding of the team ethos and culture of the tour.
