It’s been a long, grueling and seemingly endless pre-season leading into 2014, felt never more so than in Sunday’s torturous boot camp. Was there ever a light at the end of the tunnel or were we putting infinite kilometers in our legs for nothing?

Fear not Bears thankfully there is finally an end in sight and as of the completion of Saturday’s practice match against Swinburne Uni we will have made it! We will officially complete pre-season training and can start training for our first game for points against Elsternwick the following week.

To celebrate the efforts from as far back as November (for some), and to get to know that guy or girl you still haven’t had a chance to chat to yet, after the practice match we will be going straight to one of our sponsor pubs, the Elgin Inn!

It is walking distance from Swinburne’s oval so bring your finest pub attire because there will be no need for a trip home after the game. The Bar, the TAB and the kitchen will be abuzz with the Bears presence so a good night is to be had by all.

It’s not rocket science but any queries or questions send them straight to Josh O’Bryan on 0434559147 or Will Delbridge on 0412972155.
