'Ned unfortunately did a sliding tackle on the flat - I cracked three ribs!'

So after our great first lesson with Cassie - I decided to do the exercises at home the day before Aston BE100 Saturday 17th - Typically when warming up, Ned unfortunately did a sliding tackle on the flat, tripping over a rut in the surface, nosediving the ground and I went with him. We got up and carried on - not sure how now, as turns out I have 3 cracked ribs!

So that's put me out of action for the rest of the season - I'm absolutely gutted as you can imagine... But I can't even get on him let alone complete a BE100!!

Ned is now off on holiday out in the field with all the youngsters and will be back in November - I wish everyone competing at Calmsden the best of luck - Cassie, Emma and Rebecca.

Unfortunately I've had to withdraw and will use my entry fee for lots of apples for Ned.
