SG EBT Berlin team from Saturday's Clash Back Row L-R: Kai, Tim, Robert, Francis Front Row L-R: Adam, Lisa, Kate Hey guys, welcome to the final update for the three part blog series. Hope you enjoyed reading about what I got up to while over here in Berlin.  Today, Saturday marked the end of my first trip to Germany and Berlin and what a trip it was. Meeting up with my team-mates for the first time last Friday to winning the Berlin Derby today (Saturday 14th September). It has been a successful week. I have really enjoyed this week of training and competing in Germany and I have learnt so much from a single week that I will now use to motivate me further for the future.   Today my team SG EBT Berlin lined up against the Berlin Breweries in an exciting clash.

Hey guys, for these next few posts I will give you an insight into how my first league weekend in Germany went and my week in Berlin! Welcome to the first of the blog series😀 Friday 6th September: I left home on Friday, nervous and excited for what lay ahead of me. Bags packed and off I went for a week in Berlin. I arrived at the airport in loads of time, dropped my bags off and headed through security to kill the time before the flight. I met Adam on the flight as we both headed off to Berlin to meet up with our new team-mates. The flight was smooth and on-time so we arrived in Berlin a little after 6pm. When we landed, we collected our bags and met up with Kai, one of the players on our team. We went with Kai to the minibus where we drove from the airport straight to the training hall where we got a light hit and met up with some of the other Berlin players. Everyone was very welcoming and we got settled in very fast. After training we went for some food with some of the play
