Am also sleepy from the Tour last night, but what I think Kieran was trying to say is that, thank god for Netball (for many reasons and not all altruistic). All the people that could be going to the crags are in fact either playing or watching Netball, it being the most popular sport. The other upside of Netball is that if the crags do become overun with new people to the sport, there is always Netball to supply the quota of half dressed woman. I'm sure that's what he meant.....
