Title: Tigers in Lorne Pier to Pub swim
Post by: mightytiges on January 04, 2008, 05:58:11 PM

Ch 10 news interviewed Foley and Cogs. The boys spent today in the pool practising for tomorrow's Lorne Pier to Pub.

Browny was walking in the pool with a swagger. Cogs reckons he's a show as he's spent more time in the pool over the past 2 years than on the track (he said unfortunately). Gus is also a chance. Meyer is apparently our best swimmer. The winner gets bragging rights and wins a 3-course meal.

No mention of how our boys did today in the news reports.
