Brighton Trip Day 4

Today was a lighter day for the lads after the grueling competitive slate of games that they faced the day before.  The boys got up early and had another English breakfast before heading out to the beautiful coastal town of Portsmouth. 

First stop in Portsmouth was a tour of the HMS Victory, one of the largest and most famous gunships in the entire world, famous for its use in the Battle of Trafalgar.  The town of Portsmouth has some of the richest Naval history in all of England and it was great for the boys to learn and see it first hand.



Next the boys went back in time to Pirate School and learned how to operate as a pirate and all of the tips of the trade from the experts themselves in Portsmouth.  Thankfully none of the boys were required to walk the plank!





After a tour and a quick stint in Pirate school, the boys walked around the shipyard to take in more sights and then went to the Gunwharf Keys outlets for some shopping and lunch. 





After the day in Portsmouth the boys went back and continued their Table Tennis tournament, can't go a day without competition in this group!  After the boys headed off to bed early as a double training session awaits tomorrow with Brighton.  Can't wait to get back on the pitch!
