As we awoke from a short but well needed sleep, for some ! (ranging from hunting trips to relaxing in the hot tub), we reached the lindisfarne school grounds ready for a good game of rugby.
It was a slow and steady morning and warm up, with the lindisfarne second XV playing a local friendly game prior to our two fixtures. These fixtures, unluckily, ended with unfortunate losses for both teams, mainly due to a lack of mental fitness.
After the match we all got cleaned up and had a short presentation in the dining halls of one of the schools houses, and to the our joy a spot of lunch. after this we quickly returned to our billets to get showered and changed before going out; the under 15's had a night of local recreation and entertainment with their billets, while the 1st XV had a more wild night in store, with what only can be described by the boys as "the best pre-lash in the world" and a spot on the guest list at a very exclusive, local, 18 year old birthday party.
So all in all despite the losses, it was a good day.
