Camber Sands 2009

FCCY Girls returned to Camber Sands over the weekend 10th - 13th April 2009 to enjoy their annual weekend away tour. This year's tour organisation seemed much smoother and with the hire of a minibus; the team were able to travel together.

On arrival at Camber the girls unpacked, sorted out who was sleeping where and then went off to the beach for a warm-up game of Beach Football. This was followed later by evening meal & time to explore Camber.

Saturday morning saw some of the team having a lie-in whilst others played Football tennis as a warm-up. Saturday afternoon brought forward the first half of their matches; 5 being played in all. The girls won 2, drew 2 & lost 1 setting themselves up with a reasnable chance of grabbing 2nd place the next day in their remaining 3 matches. The girls returned to Camber, showered & then straight out to Hastings to watch '17 Again' with Zac Efron.

Unfortunately they were not at their best the next morning & could only manage 1 draw & 2 losses placing us 5th out of 9 overall. This was slightly disappointing, but did not put a dampener on the remaining weekend. That eveing came the presentation, where Lee Sharp ex of Man Utd presented the girls with their participation trophies. One of the girls even took the opportunity to grab a quick hug with Lee.

After the presentation we ventured int Rye for a chinese takeaway to round off the weekend. e next morning the girls visited Tonbridge Wells for a bit of shopping therapy & then the long journey home, which saw them all asleep for at least an hour. BLISS!!!
