Hi George,

I wanted to reach out to express our collective thanks to you and the team on the brilliant tour you organised for us.

From the second we stepped off the plane right through to getting home to Cork, the tour was a pleasure.  Great fun for the parents, coaches and of course the boys.  Memories that will last for many, many years.

Massive shout out to Tracy… I know you said we would be impressed, but she was top tier! For Colette and I , the pressure was off and we could enjoy the weekend as much as everyone else. She was just amazing.  Tracy kept us on track, helped Colette and I herd the troops and just generally was the best support we could have asked for.

Cambrils was the perfect location for the boys, the pool, sports facilities and freedom to run about was just ideal.  It was great to see so many smiling faces, and hear all the laughter.  New friendships were formed and core memories locked in!

Families enjoyed strolls into Cambrils and Salou or just chilling at their accommodation or the pool.  It was a very relaxed weekend.  Food was good, no complaints from anyone.  The bar showed the golf, so everyone was happy!!! 😊

BIG shout out to Stiges RFC and Raymond for his support on match day.  The festival was so well organised, and all the boys got a huge amount of game time, against really well coached sides.

We were catered for brilliantly, from gazabos on the pitch for shelter, through to lovely lunches for the players.

The parents had a great view of the games and time to mingle and get to know each other, and for us coaches on the line, we knew exactly where to be and at what time.  It was a brilliant day out… and all the teams came home with trophies, so that was even better.

So, thank you for making it “the best weekend ever” (to quote 52 eleven- and twelve-year-olds!!!)

Thanks again George, it’s been a pleasure!
