I was unable to see the O Club 30+ game as we had a conflict with the 40+ team playing in different venues, but they all felt that the game was winnable, but things didn't go their way.

The 40+ team played City Beach Momparas 6-5 in a hard fought game. We then all headed over to Claremont for the 45+ game against WPM-04 Moscow. The Russians came out ansd dominated the game, winning 10-4. They got 5 goals from Georgy Mshvenieradze, who was one of the top hole sets in the early 80's with the Russian National Team.

After the game, we all heaqded to the Swan Brwery for a tour and tasting. The tour was very interesting and they were very generous with their tasting. Swan is a very large brewer and the size of the facility was very impressive. They had 28 holding tanks that were 32 meters high and each tank holds 1 million 900 thousand cans if beer. They manufacture about 8 different types of beer. The losses kind of dampened things, but it was a nice evening.

Today the 30's play at Challenge against Szomathely (Hungary), the 45's play at Bicton against Sibenika (Croatia) and the 40's are at Claremont against Kazakhstan. Another day of shuttling between pools
