Title: Cogs on track for round 1 / Tiges in Pier to Pub swim
Post by: one-eyed on January 06, 2007, 02:52:48 AM
Sports Tonight showed Cogs finishing his Tan run yesterday. It looked like he was with White and Foley so he must have finished in the first half dozen or so. Cogs is now ready to join in full training with the main squad and hopes to be right for round 1. He, Newy and Knobel are doing the Pier to Pub swim at Lorne today.
