IC fifths beaten by peasants

On Saturday, IC fifths, down to ten players thanks to third team captain Pereira’s lack of organisation, were defeated by King’s fifths - who must surely be the ugliest team in the league. The first half was even, despite Flossy’s inch-perfect through-pass to the opposition centre forward, but the second half was pretty much one-way traffic, resulting in an unfortunate loss to an unfortunate team.

Credit must go to Kublai, twenty-one last Sunday, playing up front by himself for much of the game, and to Steve, Dan, Gine and Mike who all worked hard.

IC fifths 0 - 3 King’s fifths

White Nights

Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s short novella revolving around loneliness, unrequited love,  and dreams still resonates with our society today.  The nameless narrator of White Nights, a lonely young man, meets Nastenka, a young woman with whom he forms a strong relationship,  yet  they  promise to  keep it friendly rather than romantic.
