Well done to you. Looks like it was an incredible trip.
How often do you/the foundation drop back in on them?
There are around 3 projects or so a year which is done with the nuns and priests over there. They fund 3 oprhanages and are constantly building local projects for the locals.

Wright-Phillips has finally completed his medical as well, judging by the fella on the bottom right of Fionn's 1st picture.

Nice one Fionn. :thup:

Fionn, well done to you. For those of us who don't know, what is the foundation you are working with? How can we help?

Has the CEO assured the fans that they will be top seven?

Thanks CH, I reckon you can thank William Orangiboom, his "pyramids pitches" flashback has cheered me right up.

Clear stuff distilled from bananas (what else?), you could feel the ether off it on your eyeballs as you raised the glass. Risky stuff if not from a Govt. distillery. You survived obviously.

That pic is probably the best ever posted on this site (apart from Bonzo lifting the Cup of course)

Just an idea - but for next christmas if someone could do a christmas card based on the team pic - it would be a great fund-raiser for the club and for kitting out other teams

:thup: Will look more into that foundation.
Went across southern Zambia a few years ago and really loved the locals. Lusaka is an interesting city. Somehow we ended up at the mall that all of the foreigners shop at. A hell of a change from the rest of the city, which looks like it was designed by 60's Soviet design school dropouts.
