SENIOR ACADEMY PROGRAMME
Comment from Richard O’Connor on the recent trip to South America:
“The players who went on the trip made good of their time. Results for some did not reflect the hard work and progress they made to improve. The heat and surface conditions tested their fitness and patience. Each player has matured and understands the intensity at which they must train on a daily basis, both physically and mentally. We believe the experience has strengthened their characters, and the coming months should prove even more rewarding.”
