Gary O’Neil’s squad saw two different sides to pre-season on the Friday of their warm weather camp in Marbella.
The morning training session was the toughest yet, with the highest temperatures of the week coming during a session of full-sided matches and extra running, putting the players truly to the test.
As a show of solidarity however, O’Neil joined his group for the running drills, helping his players along the line.
Then, later in the day the group were able to enjoy the sun from the pool, as the coaching staff put on a volleyball competition for the whole squad, which proved an enjoyable activity and a form of team bonding.
