By Club Spokesman Jordan Sibley in Interlaken.

Whilst the temperatures in Interlaken may be soaring into the early thirties, Saints received an ice cool reception when they returned to their hotel on Sunday night after a day filled with activities. Having completed a range of team building exercises as they battled for the "Superstars Challenge" title, the evening meal also saw the presentation of awards.

However, these weren't your ordinary awards. In honour of the Club's trip to Interlaken local artist Bruno Haenggi had created a huge ice sculpture bearing the Club's crest, complete with beer dispenser, with drinks being served in ice glasses!

65 year old Haenggi's passion for his work was clear to see as he stayed to chat amongst the squad and answer any questions they had about his amazing pieces of art for over an hour.

The Canadian lives opposite the Club's training base in the town, and had spent the past few days working on the sculpture which he donated as a gift, in fitting with the fantastic reception the Club has received from the local community.
