Emotional farewell to A.C.Santa Lucia

This week the boys said goodbye to their team mates and coaches. Our Club back home (Peninsula Strikers) kindly sent over gifts and certificates of appreciation. Tom said his goodbyes on Thursday to his team and two assistant coaches and Rob bid farewell on Friday. Every one of Robbie’s team mates gave him a hug - causing his parents to choke up on the sidelines!
Then on Friday Tom said goodbye to his head coach (‘il Mister’), who promptly gave him a bear hug and kissed him on both cheeks. It was a very quiet bus ride home...

  1. What a very special experience to have! Robbie and Tom will appreciate this even more as they get older.Their soccer skills must be quite magnificent with that intensive Italian training. I think Kiana's team will be scoring Robbie when you return, as he has been promoted! Missing you all, love Whytes
