Gah.
I’m annoyed.
Like, seriously pissed off.
Tonight was the semi-finals and final of the Inter-Collegiate Challenge, previous rounds of which I have already blogged about.
The eagle-eyed amongst you will have spotted that I mentioned that we were missing a member of the team in the last round.
This time, there were two of us. The captain had already given his apologies – he is involved with the Taming of the Shrew, so, fair enough, he couldn’t make it. But the fact that two other members of the team – half the team – couldn’t be bothered to walk 5 minutes to DSU really annoys me.
Yes, it may be the last formal of the year. But it is, quite frankly, embarrasing that these people were happy to leave the two of us sitting like lemons in front of an audience, representing Castle. How does it reflect on Castle when half the team doesn’t turn up?
One of the absent people is a member of the college Boat Club – somehow I doubt very much that he would leave one of his rowing fours in the lurch like that.
Hmmph.
Oh – suffice to say we lost. Not by a huge amount, though – I have absolutely no doubt that if we’d had a full complement we would have thrashed Grey.
