Our pre-season training is now in Week 27 and the Grey boys are working very hard for the upcoming season. This year is going to be especially difficult seeing that we shall only play three home games out of the scheduled nineteen games.

A week consists of various activities to prepare for the season. We are now in a 4-week training block that consists of two speed -, two video -, two gym -, one fitness - and one wrestling session. During this period we are preparing the players for the trials that start on 20 February 2012.

The trials are played over two weeks after which we shall have our final trial matches on 5 March 2012. The final trials are always a big event at Grey College. We have a great number of spectators attending and the atmosphere is unbelievable!

Upon completion of the trials we have a flush day for recovery, after which the teams will be announced. On Wednesday, 7 March 2012, the players are going to receive their new Garmin units and afterwards they will have a scrum session.

On 8 March 2012 we have a team-building day with the fire brigade, where Garmin will join us and observe our programme. Garmin will then attend our school assembly on Friday and will announce the new sponsorship for 2012.

Thank you Garmin for you sponsorship!
