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

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
