Saturday evening involved some heavy carb-loading and intensive rehydration ahead of the crunch match at nearby Collingham. Before retiring to bed, the team found a local venue at which hand-eye coordination skills were honed further.
Our no 2 got up early on Sunday morning for a thorough workout of the abdominal muscles before returning to bed for more rest and recuperation.
