Friday 28.09.07 (cool , fine with a light cloud)
We travelled on a council bus to visit the St Helens RLF club this morning. We were met there by Gordon Pennington from the clubs support staff.

Gordon was fantastic with the boys talking with them about all facets of the Saints success over the last few years. Gordon brought out three of the major trophies that the club holds at the moment, the Challenge Cup, the World Club Champions Cup and the BBC Team of the Year Trophy.

The touring party were all able to look closely and get their pictures taken with all the silverware. Gordon then took the boys to the player’s dressing room, the weights room and out into the stands.. Learn More

Wednesday 26.09.07
(fine and clear – cool morning, showers with a cold stiff breeze in the afternoon )

We travelled the motorways to Castleford to play Castleford High today.

Boys were in good spirits after a training session on the St Cuthbert’s oval in fresh conditions this morning. Looking forward to the contest, Patrick pulled up with a sore shoulder after the last game and will sit out today’s game.

Buchanan needed to ice a knee after the Outward game but seems to be moving freely again. Robert complained of a groin pain after training and will start today’s game off the bench.

Lots of us have been having trouble with phone cards, if you haven’t heard from your son this might be the reason. We are also having problems with computer access for the boys at Lindisfarne. They might get to use them before the end of the week.

I have organised tickets for everyone to Friday night’s big qualification semi-final between St Helens and Leeds being played at St Helens.

The two teams are one and two on the ladder with the winner going straight into the final. The club (Saints) has been very helpful in providing some discounted tickets... Learn More

Mackay Vs Outwood Monday 24.09.07

(Overnight rain, cold morning, scattered showers during the day with heavy cloud cover, windy)
The team had a light skills session on a synthetic playing surface session after breakfast. We left Lindisfarne on our trusty Selwyns Coach at 11:00 to complete the one and a half hour journey to Wakefield in plenty of time for the game at Outwood Grange College.

The boys were treated like visiting rock stars with girls mobbing them and even squealing as they exited the bus? After a light lunch in the school canteen the boys headed to the changing room then across a footbridge over the nearby motorway to the school’s lush playing fields.

Although there was a little light rain before the game it held off during the contest which was only marred by a cool strong wind that played havoc with kicking in general play. The game was played in good spirits with both teams displaying straight hard running and punishing defence.. Learn More

21.09.07 Left Mackay Air Port at 6:40
The shenanigans started early on Mackay High Rugby League Academy’s inaugural tour of the the UK.

On the flight from Mackay to Brisbane Shane organised the hostess to broadcast a birthday call for Gordon Reid’s “50th” birthday, Gordon is well short of that milestone.

Rob ‘Cowboy’ McLeod had a few problems with the escalators on the way to the International Airport, he obviously needs more practice mounting those tricky contraptions.

Everybody tucked into an early lunch at the airport waiting to go though customs. Steve from ourfootyteam.com rang to report the setup of the message board and to encourage family’s to leave messages.

Just visit www.ourfootyteam.com/mshsacademy ourfootyteam.comand follow the story links to find the message form.

Tyler and the Boys wired for sound midflight
Daniel, Rogan & Shane relax in Singapore

After eight hours in the air we landed in Singapore.

The flight and the food was good, not that Don was enjoying the experience at all, somewhat of a white knuckle flier is our Don.

The boys were pretty good most of them played video games the whole time and hardly moved. They quite liked the free drinks and it was estimated that Daniel Simeon and Dylan Sadd drank more soft drink than the plane consumed fuel.

Arriving at Singapore Cowboy went to the toilet, when he returned I asked him if it was clean, not really he replied. VISIT THE MACKAY ACADEMY LOG
