Into action

Chalets - sorry, Duingalows - have been occupied. Amusements have amused. Swims have been swum. Sleep has been caught up on. And after a 7am reveille, the Teddington tourers have trooped back on to the coach to head for Saturday's tournament.

Both teams - the U13s, largely concentrated on the lower deck and concentrating on karaoke versions of  the modern hit parade, and the U12s upstairs, quietly comparing new boots with a focused nervousness - have five games in their groups, with the possibility of more in the knockouts. Each game, against opponents whose quality is unknown, will last just 15 minutes: a distilled blast of XI-a-side, a discipline neither team is fully familiar with. It promises to be educational as well as entertaining.
