Once again the day started very relaxed with a full English at 9am. The boys then went off the final training session ahead of the third fixture tomorrow, all retuning tired out and in desperate need of a shower as the humidity was near unbearable this morning. At 12 noon everybody met to discuss options for today’s activities available to the group was swimming, shopping, sightseeing and you guessed it everybody had one final blow out and shopped till they dropped.

Upon meeting at 5pm the lads had made another special effort, taking off their rugby shirts and short and replacing with a more smart / casual look with Jeans and shirts. We all then headed on mass down to the subway station to catch the TTC followed by the street train to the Waterfront. This was very well handled with Norman now getting the tickets in advance and then being led and followed by Kerry & John. It went extremely smooth to say the least! We all then had an our to take in what was on offer at the waterfront, Darrin in particular spent the whole hour in a perfume shop with Sarah and Karen trying to find a fragrance that just didn’t seem to be in the shop! On the other hand the majority of the boys sat and admired the view taking in the evening sunlight.
At 6.30 the group continued down to the west pier of the harbour to where we met our boat – Challenge. We were kindly welcomed aboard by the captain and the crew, before departing the dock and starting our cruise of Lake Ontario. There a much need salad with pasta, chicken breast, potatoes and Nachos followed shortly after by cakes and fresh fruit all went down extremely quick!

Before putting the sails up we enjoyed a short cruise around the Toronto bay and islands here we passed many boats just like ours who were greeted by the boys very loudly! The sun began to set the music was pumping and the fun began to start. Firstly and dance off where everyone had to dance on their own in the middle of the circle otherwise there would have been a fine! – Parent included. This was watched and laughed at by all, but the star of the night had to be Omar when he wouldn’t get off the dance floor.

Secondly, Limbo. This went down an absolute treat with lads and parents alike, the bar eventually got lower and as you could imagine we had few casualties who didn’t make it under the bar and ended up on their backs – John, Craig!
The evening was nicely finished off with everybody dancing and boys dancing with Mums followed by a lighting display back on firm ground. The night was a true success and what an end to our time in Toronto!
