Title: Donny are Olympics bound...
Post by: Monkcaster_Rover on June 27, 2021, 08:36:54 pm: Beth Dobbin (daughter of Jim) has just guaranteed her place at the Olympics this year!

A great girl who has stretched every sinew to get there.

Brilliant.

I was once next to Peter Elliott at the start line of a inter-school cross country. I sprinted off and was a yard ahead of him after 10 yards.

Seriously though, he was a phenomenon. He'd win 5k cross countries by 2-3 minutes at 16. Mind if I came from Parkgate I think I'd want to run away from there as fast as I could an all.
