It was then back to the hotel to add some layers and head back out to the soccer. We saw Chelsea at home to Sunderland, and although it was a bit of a one-sided game with Chelsea winning 7-2, the atmosphere was fantastic and it was better than watching a nil-all draw. The atmosphere did however make me realise what we are now missing at AFL games in Melbourne - when I was in high school a family friend used to play for North Melbourne so we would all trek over to Arden Street to watch him play, occasionally venturing into enemy territory such as Kardinia Park or the Junction Oval if he was playing a milestone game, and it was completely different to today when most teams share home grounds.
We returned to the hotel for a quick shower and change then the socialising continued for me at dinner with a Sydney EY pursuit manager currently on secondment to global, at a local pub, the Kensington Arms, then we met the rest of the group for drinks & dancing at Kensington Rooftop Gardens, Richard Branson’s club for the rich and beautiful, which is just around the corner from the hotel. Another fun night was had by all and it was very tough to get up for the early start the next morning.
