They're all mad! Two GB girls have gone off, one for stitches from a stick to the head, another for what could have been a broken jaw from a ball, and now they're both back on!

The average premiership footballer wouldn't last ten minutes....

GB 3 NZ 0. 10 minutes to go.

Have you ever seen shinty?

I remember a colleague of mine being both extremely proud & extremely anxious when her son started to play for the local shinty club adult team. Most adult shinty players I know seem to have had injuries of some sort, some quite bad, although most of them would try to claim that climbing was more dangerous !
