8 Having taken the lads on tour every year since they were U14 including trips to France, Holland and Ireland it seemed only right that we took them (now Colts) to arguably the second home of rugby - Cardiff, Wales. Favourite moment (that can be public) has to be one of our players, James Scarle, singing and playing the guitar at an Open Mic night in the club next door to the hotel and then being joined on stage by the whole team in a rowdy and moving, if not tuneful rendition of Oasis s Look Back in Anger. QUOTE FROM SEVERAL COLTS ABOUT THE TOUR SICK! I AM CLEARLY BOUND BY RUGBY ETIQUETTE THAT STATES WHAT GOES ON TOUR STAYS ON TOUR DAY 1 We were collected from our club on the opposite side of the country in Southwold and had a relatively uneventful journey as the tour rules were digested and forfeits dispensed. By the time we were over the Severn Bridge the tour was in full swing. The hotel was perfect for a tour (whatever age group) partly because it was bang in the centre of Cardiff giving plenty of scope for forays. After monster platters of steak and chips at a nearby restaurant and a few beers (for the over 18 s) it was back for an early night ahead of our match - Not! A TEAM TOURS DIRECT BESPOKE TOUR REVIEW FROM SOUTHWOLD RFC DAY 2 Day 2 started with a tour around the Millenium Stadium followed by lunch and crazier than usual crazy golf before setting off to Rumney for the scheduled match. Playing the Welsh in their backyard is never going to be a walk in the park but with no subs and the night before - we inevitably came second. Nevertheless the lads gave a good account of themselves afterwards in the host s clubhouse despite the coaches letting them down on some games! All a good warm-up for another night excursion on our return to the city. DAY 3 Day 3 included paintballing at Go Ballistic - which they did - before changing into fancy dress in time for the Kangaroo Court and a quiet reflective time in the city - Not! Another fine tour and a new stack of rugby memories to savour. Team Tours delivered on their promise and so all went according to plan
