After a marathon five hour journey we reached Hull, which put the team off, except maybe Alasdair who found the Humber Bridge "exciting." After 45 minutes of traipsing through the most dismal town in the North, we eventually found the pitch thanks to Tom’s unerring direction sense.
For once, IC first footballers arrived on time, and with a full team. After UCL’s last pasting by us we expected them not to show, only to be disappointed when they turned up an hour late. Conditions left a lot to be desired with winds of at least one
With a free date in their busy schedule, IC II kindly agreed to play us, the fourths, in a friendly. The match was delayed while the less proud members of the fourths clammered to get their autographs. When it got underway, it was clear that it was going to be
A defeat in BUSA spells the end of a glorious run, but the fourths need to pick themselves up from this defeat and concentrate on the league. It all went pear-shaped in the first few minutes when our keeper misjudged a routine shot, and then another defensive mistake put IC
A dozen shooters went to Hawley in Kent to try their hands at clay pigeon shooting. After a brief introduction, the motley crew settled down to a twenty-five bird sporting layout (for the uninitiated: bird = clay pigeon; sporting layout = one way of positioning the clay pigeon launchers and timing of
After a good run of recent wins Imperial College Union’s Snooker team set off for the BUSA Nationals in Warwick with high hopes. In the first day’s singles tournament Alex, Jon and Vay all reached the last sixteen, but back problems forced Alex to pull out and posed
In an unprecedented amalgamation of the cross-country and cycling clubs, Gaffer (Demetrius) and Tazman (Tarik) took part in the infamous Evans Ghoulie Grind duathlon on Sunday. Waking up at five in the morning and forsaking their usual fine, hale and hearty breakfasts, the two athletes headed for Guildford in their
We’ve scored a goal (courtesy of Sarah). Finally. About bloody time. And they were second division and we’re only third. With the determined defending from Piv, the endless effort from Alex and Ros, the strong reliability of Squid and Estella, the astounding vocal support from Emma (she’s
On Saturday evening, two football fans (Nick and Gilles) joined three other eager skiers (Cait, Ruffina and Dan) after the Man Utd-Chelsea game for a race at Hillingdon ski centre. This was the final stage of the Huskis race series, and the evening started with individual racing. Gilles (Ginardelli’s
Well, we have some good news and some bad news. Good news - we won. Bad news - we lost! The referee! Where was he? This lack of an official referee resulted in us forfeiting the game and so we have now been knocked out of BUSA. True to the
Although the fourth’s unbeaten run had seemed to last as long as the Hundred Years War it was inevitable that it would end. Halley’s comet may only come round every eighty-one years but we shall return to conquer again as soon as Saturday in our next league match.
As the sun crept up on Saturday fifteenth, the IC cross country club flickered into action. Yellow-arse rejoiced about the perfect blue sky for half an hour, whilst others nursed their hangovers or cracked open another beverage. One hundred-and-fifty foreigners were left to sleep in the Southside Gym as we
