This was our longest day yet. We've been on the go from 09:45 to literally 23:50. Breakfast was followed by the team meeting, which was at 12:30 in our usual spot. This is where we discussed our game plan and scouting report on today's opposition. We then had lunch, which definitely filled us up and gave us lots of energy for the uber-fun team building games that lied ahead.
The team building games were planned by the enthusiastic Emma, Laura, and Sheena. First on our list was the pool game killer. Meabh, the pool shark won the first game and the quietly confident Dave won the second. Our organisational skills were tested with the card game invented by Emma. After some brain teasers, we all eventually became members of the secret polo bear club headed by Laura. We then put on a fairly brilliant display of dancing as we attended classes, which were held beside the pool. Dave and Danny perfected their synchronised swimming routine with the official opening show of both our dancing and their swimming to be held tomorrow.
Before we left for our game, we had dinner in the hotel. We arrived at the gym at 19:35 for our game at 21:00. We were already pumped for the game and knew what we had to do. The gym was as humid as ever, but we started really strong and played really excellent defence throughout. We won the game convincingly and dominated on both ends of the floor.
Take that Henry!!!!!!!! After a quick snack, we are heading off to bed in preparation for our final tomorrow. We will let you know how we get on.
All for now,
Love, Team Ireland aka The dancing polo bears
Score:
Ireland 34 (16) (M Buckley 10, M O'Driscoll 6, S McNulty 6) Chelle Ille of France 2 (2)(A Nicumba 2)
