Christmas comes late for Cross-Country's Benny Boy

A fantastic performance from Benny-Boy secured another victory for IC’s mens’ team. Jennie, with her graceful flowing strides, won the womens’ race as usual, with Bethan, Dawn, Ruth and Christina coming fourth, fifth, eleventh and fifteenth respectively. Gaffer improved on his positions with eighth place and Fishy Fishick finished a lethargic thirteenth. Gut-retching hill sessions and agonising circuits through the autumn proved their worth with excellent results especially from the B team.

A special mention should go to Yellow-Arse whose poor excuse for not turning up was he was writing a love-letter to his ex-girlfriend. He’s got more chance of winning the next league race than getting her back.
