Atlantic Rovers Tour 2011 ( Part 3!)

Yes, even more stories from the Atlantic Rovers tour! After a great day of seven a side soccer and a fun evening party it was time for our next challenge, the International Survivors game! Last year the Atlantic Rovers won the game with a fantastic 7-5 win against the Elgin Marbles with an unbelievable 6 goal haul from yours truly! I know, hard to believe, but it did happen! But could this feat be repeated? Well a full squad of players turned up on match day, hangovers and all, to play the game. The Atlantic Rovers started strongly and were clearly the stronger team storming into a 3-1 lead, including yet another goal by Johnaldo! 7 goals in two games?? But even with this lead the visitors couldn't hold on and eventually the Elgin Marbles select fought back to tie the game. Based on the rules made up on the spot by me and Jodingo!! that meant the Atlantic Rovers retained the trophy! We are unbeaten in two years now and ready for the challenge next year! After the game a few of the Rovers did a tour of a nearby distillery and BOR went loch fishing in a big truck tire..... hhmmm I wonder who had more fun? A great day was rounded off with a bonfire on the local beach and a few more drinks. The next day the bhoys set off back down south after saying their goodbyes to Walter and the Marbles with a promise to be back next year! What was next on the tour? A trip to Celtic park to shop?, a trip to Edinburgh to drink some more beer? and then back to Celtic park to watch Celtic play Udinese in the Europa cup?! All will be revealed in tour report part 16! Joking... No really, I am.
