Day 1 in Adelaide 08/07/2011



Welcome to our first full day in Adelaide (yeah, I know that was yesterday but this will catch me up).

Was an interesting nights sleep, when the toilet flushes in this place it sounds like the water is running down the wall and about to land on your head. Other than that we are settling in well and the team vibe is growing stronger and stronger.

It was a pretty relaxed day, setting out routines and plans for how things will run for the rest of the week. Points for the "What's Korfball game" continued to rise at a rapid rate with all information being stored in The Guide for later use.


We were lucky enough to meet our first team from another country in the afternoon. While we were doing a tactical walk through in a park outside out our hostel, the Malaysian team arrived to spend some time observing us. After a quick meet and greet the rain cut the session short........Adelaide has really been turning on the weather for us.......if you like West Coast style rain!

After a pretty amazing dinner, we headed to a gym for our friendly game against the Australian U23s. I'll put up a full match report later on today with some photos Steve Cooper kindly took for us.

Koru had a great day hanging out with Tash, even doing some bungy jumping and hanging out in the sweet cave we made with our bunks!

See you later on for the match report from the Aussie game. RISE UP NZ U23s!!
