Thursday 31st July 2003

So that the group could have the opportunity to experience more of Sydney's most popular attractions, we arranged for them to spend the morning at the picturesque Manly.

Rugby Tours to Australia

Once a mornings free time had been spent predominantly on the beach where the pupils gave the staff a lesson in touch rugby, (!!) the group caught a ferry to Circular Key to allow them to experience Sydney from the water and take another look at the breathtaking views of the Sydney skyline.

Once at circular key, they had a short time to wonder around the Rocks area, Sydney's birthplace before their coach met them and returned to their respective host schools for their first taste of Australian Sport.

Chew Valley Scorers – Tries: Kevin Curtis
Cons: Kevin Curtis (1), Will Purdy, Stuart Tovey (1), Mike Daley

Both schools enjoyed an evenly played match with the visitors coming through to win with a good second half performance when they appeared to have realised they were actually playing in Australia and began to look and play like a team.

The hockey team encountered a narrow defeat during their first fixture but displayed an all round spirited performance against good opposition. If a few chances had been taken the final score may have been different.

Once both matches had been completed, the tourists were introduced to their hosts who would entertain them for the following 3 nights. The usual post match presentations took place and the Chew Valley players departed with their hosts.

Light training sessions were held this morning at the respective host schools to brush up on some of the problem areas from the first fixtures.

Once the teachers had put the players through their paces, each group was collected by coach and transferred to the Olympic Park where the group enjoyed a full guided tour of the Telstra Stadium before moving on to the Aquatic centre where they had an opportunity to swim in the Olympic pool before enjoying a poolside lunch.

Saturday 2nd August 2003

This day saw the Chew Valley teams say good bye to their hosts before traveling to enjoy their second taste of Australian Sport with their second round of fixtures in the Sydney area.

The rugby team was to visit one of Australia's top rugby schools, commonly known as "Joey's", where a good all round performance saw them take a narrow victory from their hosts.

Anyone who has ever visited St Josephs College, Hunters Hill on a rugby day will know the rugby treat that you are in store for.

Matches take place through out the day with the culmination being the first team fixture at the end of the day, which the Chew Valley players stayed to watch, where a crowd of almost 4,000 enjoyed a superb rugby fixture.

A traditional ‘Ausie BBQ' is also available throughout the day to top off the event.

The girls enjoyed their first win on Australian soil with a strong performance. Two goals from Alana Wilson, (left) helped the team on the way to a fine victory which would hopefully stand them in good stead for the remainder of their fixtures.

This victory was even more impressive when it is considered that the majority of the players had not played on Astro Turf before this fixture.
