She ain’t heavy, she’s my wife (for the competition)

WIFE’S on your back again about watching another World Cup match? Then spare a thought for James Kennedy.

He carried his “wife” Ciara Crossan through a 250-metre obstacle course at the World Wife Carrying Championships in Finland at the weekend to retain their title as the competition’s “most entertaining couple”.

“That is the hardest thing you will ever do,” James said last night, as he and his team drove their camper- van through Sweden to get home to Cork for Thursday.
