Mines a Buffalo!!

Another successful U12 tour to Italy

Well done to all the lads and parents who took part in this years Topolino Tournament in Treviso, I think it was the best one yet,

Not ideal playing conditions for our boys as it was 27 degrees on both days and the parents were looking concerned (thank god for self cooling kegs!!)

Top Highlights inc

  • Chub Rub

  • The lads show-boating in final game of the tournament in front of the Florentine fans

  • Limoncello

  • Si Swainstons ability to make Presecco Bottles stick to his body

  • Dads beating Trevisio at Touch Rugby (i think we won all a bit of a haze!!)

  • Endo Man!

  • Run Joe Run!!!

  • English referees outclassing the Italians!!!

  • The hospitality from all in the Treviso Camp

  • Being completely out classed at the "just one Cornetto" song

  • Buffalo Mozzarella Pizza - "where's the buffalo!!!!"

  • Father Abraham - got better as the weekend went on

  • Humpty Dumpty Haka and puzzled Italians
  • Above all it was the friendship and team spirit the lads showed throughout the weekend that shone through,

    Special thanks to the Club and the support from both the senior and junior sections (Mary and Aggie) to help make these trips possible, kicks the other (much bigger) clubs in to touch!!

    Also thanks very much to Patrick "tour manager" Scott - your going to have to do something special next year!
