Footy training at Windsor Park

Almost released from the shackles of the desk, it was time to get Ottawacker Jr. working on his passing - so at the crack of 9 o'clock, down we wandered to Windsor Park, scene of many a great escapade in the past.

And although it was 29 degrees (37 with the humidex at NINE O'CLOCK), a good time was had by all. Except for Ottawacker Jr., of course, who had to put up with Sergeant-Major Ottawacker running drills for him.

He did well though, so he was quietly satisfied. He'll be a footballer yet.
