Sports, sports and for a change some art!
It was yet another busy week in Tonga with heaps of sports from local to international. Sadly no fishing though as the weather has continued to be absolute rubbish, also the boys have the boat out for a service. Lyndon started the week off again in Whites (Dress uniform) for an entire TDS Navy group photo followed by a sports day, not quite the usual events either. Events included 3 legged races, sack races, sprints around the parade ground and one very funny one when you have to do 10 spins around a stick then attempt to run back in a straight line. Funny as!
2011 TDS Navy plus the DCP staff.
Sack races on rocky ground made it even trickier!
Saturday morning we headed to the water front to support Rochelle as she celebrated her completion of the 8 week boot camp with a 10Km Fun (????) Run. Her first ever and what a great effort!
The Boot camp crew after everyone had made it back.
A small group for the Aquathon due to strong winds but our guest warm up coach was none other than the IKALE TAHI (Tonga World Cup Rugby Team) technical coach, our mate "Rugby John".
"On the Spot" art group had a art night on at Reef Cafe and Em teamed up with Louisa and Ruha for the night.
So naturally Dylan teamed up with Yvanne.
The girls and their final master piece.
The boys and their master piece.
As a warm up for the 2011 World Cup rugby games, the "Ikale Tahi" Tonga World Cup Rugby Team played the TDS National Defence Team. It was a little one sided but how often do you get to watch an international team play the local boys? The size difference was amazing it looked like the local school boys playing A grade team and the TDS boys aren't small either. The TDS boys even managed to sneak in twice in a 10-55 game.
"Rugby John" in the maroon shirt, amongst his boys!
Nothing like being close to the action.
Is this a rolling scrum or what?
Now this is Rugby Tonga style! Oh and he is part of the National team too!
The boys managed to sneak out to watch the All Blacks/Wallabies game Saturday night. Due to the delay in broadcasting (1115 kick off our time) and liquor licensing rules, as everything shuts for church at midnight Saturday we decided to adjourn to the Nukualofa men's club. We had a fair mix of supporters and past All Black representatives around us.
Sal had his jursey from 10 years ago on with 3 signatures left on it and who does he sit next to? None other than Toutai Kefu (60 caps for the Wallabies) and one of the 3 signatures on Sal's Jersey! We also had a sprinkling of Ikale Tahi players and coaches around us and the usual drunks (us included) Great result, Go the Wallabies!!!
Sunday lunch time Dylan and Lyndon road across the Island to Keleti Beach with a group of people for a Sunday recovery by the sea!! Tiny supplied one of the support vehicles, just in case it was a little too far home.
