ORANGE it sweet?

It would've taken more than just the little basket boys and girls to carry the ORANGE uniforms that fell all over the National Stadium at the 2009 edition of the Pacers Invitational this past weekend ( 25th - 26th April).

Not only was it 'raining' ORANGEs all the time, but the pulp of the fruit was so sickeningly sweet that the host of the weekend almost fainted from the juice after the Men's 4x400m Open.

Here are the results for the guys/gals who flooded Waterford with the ORANGE pulp from the trees grown at LVS.

Therefore with immediate effect any parent who has an email address can contact me with the relevant information. The dates for Hampton International games are July 23rd - 27th. Information relating to our tour this year will be forthcoming.
