Dear Coach - Thank you very much for putting the Blues on the winning path during the pre-season! It was great, although we back in South Africa could not watch the games. All the best for the season and I am sure that we will go all the way this year and will not get stuck in the semi-finals! Go the Blues!!!!!! Blues all the way!!!!
