A Sporting Curate's Egg

As Saturday bled into Sunday this weekend, the bottom three sides in the Premiership were Arsenal, Swansea and Cardiff, and Nathan Cleverly had lost his WBO world light heavy weight title over just four rounds in Cardiff.

Hugh sending me a text telling me that Colliers Wood walloped Croydon six nil in the FA Cup didn't really take the edge off the pain.

On the right hand side of the ledger, I got an email from Herne Hill Harriers yesterday:

Its been a great summer for the club with our boys winning the Ebbisham League and our U13/15 boys and girls teams winning our Youth Development League Division so that next year will be amongst the elite top six clubs in the South of England. We were also nominated as Athletics Weekly’s club of the month for July.

So hats off to the Bomber who contributed points to these achievements over 200m, in the 4x100m relay, and with the javelin.
