Brighton Pier

The birds outside woke everyone VERY early but we were all glad to see blue skies instead of the previously forecasted rain. A blessing on a day with a packed outdoor schedule.
After breakfast, the entire group boarded team bus headed for the Brighton Pier.

We started out with some team photos taking advantage of the picturesque background.

Afterwards, they rushed out to the pier and took advantage of the sunshine for some snacks

Some posing

And the rides

It was a fun filled morning but with our first team games later, we headed back to Lancing College for lunch and some down time.

At 3 pm, the boys started off with some hard fought battles against the Brighton and Hove Albion in the Community boys teams.
The boys from Benfica came out victorious.

The young boys from Seacoast Maine brought with them an impressive cheering squad and rose to the challenge tying their opponents before squaring off in PKs.

At 5 pm the girl,s teams also faced off against the Brighton and Hove Albion in the Community ladies and swept the groups in victory.

A late dinner left everyone a bit sunburned but looking forward to a morning training session before the Amex Stadium tour in the afternoon.
