>From Matt Smith - Mens Hockey.....
Hello from Manchester.
Typical English weather at the moment not a lot of blue sky about. We have now finished our round matches against New Zealand, South Africa and Barbados. We now have a two day break until the semi finals, our opposition will come from the winner of today's game between England and South Africa.
On our last day out, the team had a tour of Old Trafford this is where Manchester United play all there home matches in the English Premier League. We had a tour guide that showed us the change rooms where all the famous players sit (e.g. David Beckham) before a game. After the tour, a few of the team did a bit of shopping at the local shopping centre.
A few of the guys are going out to do some short corners this morning so that they will be sharp for the semi final on Friday. I have to go now and do some study by watching some videos on some of the players that might be marking me in the game, so keep cheering loudly and we will do our best on Friday to make sure that we have a chance of bringing home the Gold Medal.
Later sportsfans.
Matt
