Sportsmanship not burnt out

I was watching the presentations from the cricket a short time ago and couldn't help being moved by the real sportsmanship between the two teams.

Whilst London and the south east was enjoying the sunshine, the southwest has been miserable but at least it has given me an excuse to watch some of the sport on SkyPlayer (highly recommended to anyone with a Sky subscription, a good internet connection and a laptop).

And I picked up some of the news from the Creg-ny-Baa Fell Race from Nigel Armstrong who described the awful conditions for that event with many runners going astray in the mist and the rain.

Fell running has always been a sport where everyone appreciates the other athletes performances. But with so much as stake, its good to see that the ashes changing hands did not see any of sports traditional standards going up in smoke.
