It is time for the Racing Club de Blackheath to dust off their boots, dig out the knee straps and engage in vigorous chair training to get match fit for Shillong.
Shillong (1,496m) is the capital of Meghalaya, an area aptly called "The Abode of Clouds" as it is reknowned for having the highest rainfall of anywhere on earth.
It is a matrilineal state and we were hoping to field a mixed gender team, so far it looks like we will just be a mixed-ability team.
Full team list
One warm-up game and two matches will be held in Shillong with one in Jowai against the Chief Secretary Government of Meghalaya Team.
Planned schedule
Very sadly our stalwart man of most tours and organiser, Simon will not make this trip whilst he awaits a new hip, we wish him well and look forward to seeing him on the pitch again soon!
Updates
Smog day in Delhi with evening call to the bar.
Early start for flight to Shillong.
Smog day in Delhi with evening call to the bar.
Last minute team adjustments having been made, the general call to New Delhi airport has commenced.
Unfortunately Patrick dislocated his shoulder whilst making a 5 a side save on Saturday, thankfully he is still turning up to shout abusive support from the touchline. Fortunately a somewhat younger, slightly quicker and possibly even more skilled footballer has been recruited, welcome Gus!
