Here we go!!??

Hi all

Firstly I apologise for the delay in gettting further posts onto this blog but we have been troubled with technical problems - first my laptop mouse broke (and is still broken!) and then the hotel internet is having a mare!



Yesterday and today have been rest days for our players and we have watched a couple of games, reviewed and evaluated the Ireland game and prepared this evening for the Argentina game at 10am tomorrow morning. The competition really hits full flow for us tomorrow with a game now for each of the next four days. This is where things get very serious. We watched the Argentinians yesterday beat Ireland 7-4 and today watched a very exciting game where Ireland actually beat the Spanish 3-2 (despite my prediction that the Irish did not look up for the game!). This opens the group right up and means that a victoy tomorrow ensures us a place in the semi final. If we stick to the plan created by Graham and John we are very confident we can get out of the group which is our first major aim.



In group B things are as good as sorted and very much as expected it seems Belarus will top the group with Ukraine surprising a few and looking likely to go through ahead of Russia.



The only other funny part to the day was when Simon (self professed "Kingpin") was unable to get a single strike during a downtime game of 10 pin bowling when everybody else in his team did mange one despite most of them being partially sighted!! He took it well though - not!



Come on England, with a large partisan crowd expected we need to gate crash the party!
