He’s back

An emotional return for the Boy Wonder at the airport after some horribly delayed flights, but he’s finally back home now. Yay!

Not the results that they would have liked, but many amazing experiences, new friends, the pyramids, different cultures, life lessons and plenty (or more) entente cordiale. And sometimes – always, in fact – once you think things through, those things are more important than the actual game. When they’re not, it can all get a little unpleasant. There was a bit of that on show as well, happily not from anyone from SA.

There’s a lot of downloading to do, tales to tell, and moments to relive. But first, there’s a homecoming braai to enjoy and a LOT of sleeping to catch up on.

Buy a ticket, help the Green Mambas get to Cairo

SA’s “Green Mamba” Dodgeball teams – yes, including our son – are heading for the World Cup in Cairo in December. December might not be a long way off, but Egypt is, and with aircraft fuel prices being what they are at the moment, everyone involved is trying their hardest to raise the huge amount of money required to get the squads there.

You can help!

One of the fundraising ideas is a raffle, with tickets at just R25 each (£1.23, $1.38), and an array of wonderful prizes available for the winners. What’s more, with ticket sales capped at 3000, and 100 prizes promised, your chances of winning are almost better than Jacob Zuma’s opponents in his next court case.

Almost.

You can sponsor individual players (like ALEX) (that’s ALEX), with the money being split 70:30 to help with getting the coaching staff etc over as well. Or you can choose your donation to be spread evenly across the the whole squad. Every little bit helps.
