Saturday August 22nd
Another travel day! Weary eyed and worn out we loaded the buses and headed towards Durham, England. The boys kept busy with various travel games and trivia games testing their worldly knowledge of…pop culture. John Graves won the George Suiter Movie Championship….we'll give him a plaque or something when we get home.
We drove directly to Sunderland's Stadium of Light, home of the Sunderland Black Cats (English Premier League team), to watch Sunderland v. Blackburn. Long story short, Sunderland rode the back of Kenwyne Jones (Trinidad international) to win 2-1. The atmosphere was electric and a fantastic experience for all; there is nothing quite like being part of a home team winning celebration at an EPL match.
After the game we checked into our hotel in Durham. The University town of Durham was buzzing on a Saturday night, however our boys fought temptation and were tucked neatly into their beds by midnight in anticipation of their game vs. The English Junior College national champions the next day (at Sunderland A.F.C. Premier training facility)
Well what happened today? No posts, no calls. Wondering how Trinity is doing on a Sunday! I think you guys were super busy with a jammed packed day! Hope it was great!
