July 22nd - Dana Cup games
1st day of games started at 7:30 am, actually 6:30 departure for the game but the 16s playing 7v7 wake up and win 3-0. Great start to Dana Cup.
Boys A next, lose 2-0 to a Norwegian team but good battle.
Boys B next, win 5-0 and played best game on tour.
Sarahs wins 4-1, and Jodie/Ainsley lose 5-0 and 1-0 but enjoying guest playing.
Boys 16, 7v7, end the day as we started, winning 5-0.
So a good day on tour for Stars 'n Stripes
Now after dinner, back to the rooms for washing uniforms in the shower and cleaning the rooms. They smell or we smeil, but the smeil is awful.
Gotta drop the hammer and get this smell sorted out.
Food has been good but kids constantly wanting to eat more. I think all of the walking and playing are zapping our energy and they need to refuel, or they are just used to eating all day long.
Day 2 tomorrow and raining again tonight, hard too, so tomorrow might be muddy day.
Wish us luck
Ciao
