We trained in the morning and another player joined the team from Australia. The morning involved a light training session with some scenes of play. We were given the afternoon off so after watching Liverpool v Aston Villa at 12pm, everyone went to sleep. The evening session started at 7pm and was pretty good. We played 6-a-side games – the first to 2 goals and winner stays on – then we had a 30-minute full 11-aside match.
