What To Expect Apart From Excited Sam

The first gathering of any season is always a blend of curiousness in ones self and the new starters. A pleasing twenty three Lions showed promising condition as three circuits of the 3.2km track around Princess Park were completed, two of the laps under time trial conditions.
As expected Augustin set the best pace (in the absence of noted rabbit Maxwell) but it was Bremner, Waterman & Sanderson that impressed with quality times.
Returning from injury, captain Dickson and striker Fagg were also advanced in their output.
No early distress victims yet of being poorly prepared, Lovell getting around the track in a tight tussle with Goodchap, the most excitable Lion on Facebook at this point (wonder if he has seen the Ghasperidis Mantrip pictures yet).
The direction to complete a second circuit brought more of a determined effort with no complaint, a good sign that the heart of the Lion is accepting of the hard work ahead.
