Wednesday and the pros were off so we had the training ground to ourselves again. We were split into two groups, half of the lads went swimming and the other half stayed and did some testing in the gym. The test was to see what effect fatigue had on accuracy. We did 10 strikes against a board, did a yo-yo test and then other 10 strikes to see how it was affected. I did some weights after this then it was back to the digs after a fairly quiet day
