It was the day of the final and the lads were in great spirits ahead of the game and were full of confidence.

After a light session yesterday it was an early start again for breakfast.

After travelling from Utrecht to the Papendal and settling in on the Sunday, it was back to work on Monday morning to prepare for our second group game of the tournament against Wycombe.

Once again after a reasonably light day on Thursday it was back to work this morning.

Yet again another early start, meeting for breakfast at the regular time of 8.00am.

I have really been looking forward to the pre-season tour to Holland ever since we found out that we had been chosen to go.
