The final team of Super League’s quartet arrived in the Algarve Sunday 23rd January. St Helen’s arrived in buoyant mood, looking forward to their 2nd consecutive pre-season training camp at Browns Sport & Leisure Club. They follow Wakefield, Bradford and Huddersfield in choosing Browns and Portugal in particular as an ideal destination for pre-season training due to the milder winter climate and outstanding facilities on offer.

The Saints are here in the Algarve for a week and will be looking to fine tune the fitness aspects and step up their pre-season preparation by working closely on personal skills and team tactics in time for the start of the season in mid February. They will once again be looking to fly up the league table to obtain a playoff position and also repeat last year´s brilliant victory in the Challenge Cup Final.
