    Re: England Mountain Running T

    I dont think i can comment on unfair eligibility ive got to prepare for the welsh trial. I will be very proud though if i do get it.

    Why moan over the fact that your country is improving as a result of having a few runners who are evidently very proud to represent you despite being foreign

    Correct, but the person who was moaning ain't Welsh or ain't running for Wales, YT was commenting on fact that there were such few Welsh ladies in the team. Any National eligibility rule is a great introduction in my view!

    What I mean by rules is I'm happy for any Nationally linked person to represent any Nationality especially if that particular Country will do better in a particular competition.

    Good luck in the Sedbergh event - are you getting Welsh kit for that one?

    Anyway aren't all the Welsh female team actually Welsh, bar the aussie?

    Andrea, Jackie, Gina, Carys, Angela, Jenny are all welsh aren't they? Not sure about Anna? is that by grand parent or birth?
