Unfortunately we lost the Rugby 34 – 24 however the Wallabies did play well.
Manly got up against the Raiders 36 – 18 and have secured a spot in the top 8. Your Knights however got the wooden spoon for the first time in the clubs history! <img src="http://developer2/board/upload/style_emoticons//sad.gif” style=”vertical-align:middle” emoid=”:(” border=”0″ alt=”sad.gif” />
In the AFL, the Swanies just lost to West Coast due to crap umpiring decisions 68 – 64.

Trek 88
The group spent the night at Eora Creek yesterday evening after doing a long walk from Myola Junction, where they previously spent the fifth night. Though, it was a long tough tiring walk, all trekkers did absolutely great, none of them were injured or had difficulties, they walked well and made it to the campsite.Just got a radio-call from the group?s guide Landy, who gave their report;
?We are now in Alola village taking a rest and soon will move to Isurava Battlefield. All the trekkers are ok, looking fit and healthy, and same with the porters.
We are planning on spending the night at Isurava village later this evening and move out from there tomorrow morning. But if the trekkers want to move on one step further to the next destination, we might spend the night at Deniki, but if not, it looks like we?ll be spending the night at Isurava village as planned.
I tried getting in-touch with you guys on the base-radio yesterday afternoon when we got to Eora, but due to bad weather I could not get a clear reception??said Landy, who reported his group?s progress.I can?t pass on any messages as yet, but will do when they get to Isurava.
Seen here, porters heading to Alola village

Trek 146
This group also did tremendously great; they too spent the night at Eora Creek yesterday evening along side with Trek 88, and were up and bright early this morning to start off their second last day of walk to their final destination.
Both trekkers are ok; they did good in the last two days and still looking good and going strong.They are currently up at Isurava Battlefield, where both trekkers are now taking their time to read the monuments and take pictures of the memorial site. Soon after that, they will move to their final campsite.
It is not confirmed yet, where the group will camp for the night, but I?m sure when they finally get to that destination, they will give me a call and update me on that.
Otherwise, everything?s going really good, the trekkers are ok and having a good time and can?t wait to finish the walk tomorrow.

They now reside in Deniki. All trekkers did good, they are all well and are so happy they?ve almost come to the end of the trail. They will camp at Deniki tonight, and from there, will move out to Kokoda tomorrow.Jason, Greg & Ern were thrilled to hear all the messages you all sent, Jason for one could not stop jumping up and down after hearing the results of the games. They all send this;
?Thank you very much for all the messages?

Congratulations to you too Greg! Love JillyThe guys have left Kokoda this morning – around 10am. They will make a trip first to Tufi/Wanigela and and then into POM today. It seems like tonight the guys will celebrate the sucess of their walk.
TREK 88 and TREK 146 have hit town!! The guys are now at Gateway Hotel Port Moresby, probably kicking-off already with a few stubbies and relaxing bath or even a nap at the poolside area.
Tonight will be the presentation of the certificates of Achievement on their trek achievement on the renowned Kokoda Trail.
Everyone's doing absolutely great. Proud of their achievement and happy to come out at last….more so happily looking forward to flying back home and share their trekking experiences with family and friends.
Will upload some of the pictures of the trek on the website soon so you can have a look at them.
Have a good day y'all.
