… 4am on a Sunday morning!!!! What was I smoking 
Miguel had his six a side tournament at Hilton, Romario & I was going to support him 
We had packed all the essentials, 18 x Millers, 6 x pack of bacon, 48 x eggs, 1 x skottel and cutlery. 2km down the road we remembered the 48 rolls that was left behind & we still had 480km to go with 4½ hrs to go, so “stuff it” we will get some fresh rolls on the way
A couple of hours & speed fines later, we hit the midlands, thick with rain clouds & mist but still a beautiful scene with rolling green mountains as a background 
… 8:20am arrive at Hilton village looking for the local bakery, we find it and clean them out of all there fresh rolls armoured with all the ingredients and equipment for bacon & egg rolls we arrive at Hilton College Miguel slaughters their first opponents with 30 runs of off 4½ overs, 30 seconds & 16 becon and eggs rolls later the boys are ready for their next game
… 11am Hilton tour starts, great marketing ploy you have to admire the school Romario gets to see his future accommodation, the class rooms, the old chapel, dining room hall (more like 5 star hotel) and the game farm 
…12:30pm lunch is served at the club house, what a setup, who said the old colonial style of things is a thing of the past.
…3:30pm Without getting all boring the last game was full of action Miguel bowls the last over and on his first ball the batsman gets drop, what an expensive drop he goes on to make
another 20 runs of Miguel’s over. St. Peters’ turn to bat & Miguel goes firing bats all 5 overs and makes 24 runs but 18 runs short of the final target, what a pitty, but the boys had fun & Hilton got to see one of their future scholars in action
