Runners rule the roost

7 Mar 1997 — 1 min read

A generally good performance from IC cross-country, enhanced by the hot pants worn by the King’s College women, was marred by the retirement of Gaffer at the start of the second lap. His pink dress was too uncomfortable.

Yellow-arse, love-life now intact and Flasher, enjoyed a pre-race drink at the bar before turning in their best performances of the year. The Rolling Stone put in the greatest sprint finish, event though there was no-one around him!

Gaffer surrendered his pink dress to Slapper and Dumpster who fought over the rights to it after they failed to turn up to the bar afterwards.

The women sealed victory in the league even though Jennie jogged it, and Dawn missed the finish.

Hull of a bad time for rugby lads
