Day 2 - Early Birds!

A lot of the boys where up early, I think we where all still on UK time, most of the lads slept well despite the heat and we had breakfast together at the cafe over the way from Stine Halls where we are staying! It's a great place and they treat us well.

We had good laugh and I am enjoying being around the lads In a different setting than practice, Wilky we discovered hates people not wearing the same socks and is very concerned about Suggies sock game, we also put Tatton on a no moan rule which is now called "being put on a Tatton". He is allowed 5 moans a day and was on 2 already by 8 o'clock this morning! Hal loves a sleep and had saved 2 slices of pizza last night and treats himself to breakfast in bed. Sam Harris's new name is Tapper replacing Chopper!

The captains TJ, Tatts, Smithy and Peacock have been a great help.

We are going to run a team Hair leader board later with Ben, Aspin and Elliott running for the top spot and Burky and Wilks perm being favorite for the lower end of the board, check back later for details.

All the apparel was here last night but we didn't have the playing kit which was a concern to all the boys but as always, Graph Tex never let us down and it arrived this morning, que Tatts and Elliott getting the modelling job. Tom Hardy and graph tex did a fantastic job again and I think it's our best uniforms yet. I also had another surprise with new Helmet Decals from Lax Wraps in the UK, this was Top Secret and I think the lads loved the surprise.

After Breakfast we went for a walk around Historic Gettysburg town, Gatorade and Swedish fish was purchased as is tradition for all Knights tours. A walk around the rest of campus and to the town is something we have never done before and it was an enjoyable morning. We also discovered some new parts of campus like an air conditioned living room with pool table, I'm finding things I never knew existed.

It's been a great first day and we looking forward to the game tonight at 7 against Quiet storm on field 6 and the arrival of Cian and Jake and coch Zac Guy.
