My Embarrassing Moment at Bonvilston
by Brian Lee
Having reported on the Welsh point-to-point scene for more than 40 years, I have experienced a number of embarrassing moments.
But none more so than at the Pentyrch last Saturday when, because of the cold and wet conditions, my handkerchief was rarely out of my hand.
So imagine my horror when it was pointed out to me by a kindly John Turnbull that I had - what I shall say was foreign body - on my big snout!
How long it had been there I don't know. I only hope that it wasn't there when I presented the perpetual challenge cup to Mrs Rae Jones after her Lough Ennel had won the members' race. Perhaps it was the reason Chloe Roddick didn't have too much to say to me when I tried to interview her after her easy win on Sericina in the restricted!
