Thanks to Matthew and everyone at the Sporta Group. They lay on travel that is so well organised for the teams and their supporters that you forget they are there sometimes. The best make it look easy!

Thanks to the Accra Beach Hotel and Spa - if you are going to Barbados then check in there.

Thanks to the players and coaches of all the teams out in Barbados for pre-season 2018.
