Adrian Swanepoel from 'Virginia United Football Club' you are a legend for hosting one of our own.

Kobus Brits was traveling along the Durban coastline in search of a place to rest his weary body after a day in the saddle.

Kobus dropped me a pin from where he was awaiting instructions from me.

Opening his pin location I pinched and stretched the map and there it was, Virginia United Football Club was just around the corner.

I jumped into action, checking to see if I could find contact details.

Adrian was away in another town, but patiently listened to my request to host Kobus for a hot shower and a place to pitch his tent.

Without hesitation Adrian set us up with the groundsman at the club and Kobus had his wishes granted.
