Doing Some Porridge!

Tuesday was another very different day to say the least! We had been warned all week that something was planned and we were finally put out of our misery. We were making a trip to the local prison in Kirkham. Our conditioning coach Geoff Wearing works at the prison and he organized the visit which was great.

We walked through the gym were there were some enormous in-mates pumping out ridiculous weights! To be honest, most of the lads, me included were absolutely terrified at the prospect of playing football with convicted criminals but all of them were really sound lads! We played volleyball, which got very competitive between the different teams of Yts’s, hockey, and then we had 5-a-side matches with the in-mates joining in. It was all great fun.
