IMAGINE THE SCENARIO…IN AN EXTREMELY TENSE COMPETITION, WITH MUCH ARGEY-BARGEY NOT ONLY FROM THE CROWD, BUT ALSO EVEN BETWEEN THE CADDY’S, (SUCH WAS THE ANTICIPATION AND DESIRE FOR THIS RYDER CUP) YOU HAVE MANAGED TO KEEP GOING, WITH YOUR OPPONENTS SKILFULLY FIGHTING BACK STRONGLY, SO-MUCH-SO, THAT IT ALL COMES DOWN TO ONE LAST PUTT! ONE MAN AND HIS CLUB – SHANE LOWRY! HE SAUNTERS UP TO THE HOLE, CLUB IN-HAND, THE PRESSURE AND ANGST FROM THE CROWD IS TANGIBLE (EVEN TO ONLOOKERS), BUT HE LINES UP THE SHOT, AND IT GOES INTO THE HOLE! (MUCH THE SAME AS THE PRESSURE ON A FOOTBALLER IN A PENALTY SHOOT-OUT!) WOW! IT’S SURELY THAT KIND OF SKILL UNDER PRESSURE THAT SORTS THE MEN OUT FROM THE BOYS! MANY CONGRATULATIONS TO SHANE LOWRY, AND ALL THE TEAM EUROPE CHAPS! PLUS, ALS...

WATCH ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS AS THE ENGLAND LADIES FACE-OFF AGAINST THE CANADIAN LADIES IN THE 2025 WOMEN’S RUGBY WORLD CUP FINAL.  BOTH SIDES SET OFF TO MAKE HISTORY AT THE ALLIANZ STADIUM, BUT IT WAS THE RED ROSES WHO MANAGED TO CLAIM THEIR THIRD EVER WOMEN’S RUGBY WORLD CUP WITH A THRILLING VICTORY!

IT IS WELL INTO THE UEFA WOMEN’S EUROS COMPETITION NOW, AND IT SEEMS THAT THE RIGOROUS SCHEDULE CAN TAKE IT’S TOLL ON EVEN THE HARDIEST OF TEAMS – (i.e. EAT, TRAIN, PLAY – REPEAT) AND DARE I SAY, IT CERTAINLY SEEMED TO BE THE CASE IN THE SPAIN VS SWITZERLAND MATCH LAST NIGHT! SPAIN HAD 2 UNSUCCESSFUL PENALTIES, WITH THE 1ST FROM MARIONA CALDENTEY, WHICH WENT WIDE, AND THEN, ALSO FROM ALEXIA PUTELLAS, FOR WHICH SWITZERLAND’S GOALY LIVIA PENG WAS READY-AND-A-WAITING! SPAIN DID PUT ON A DOMINANT PERFORMANCE HOWEVER, WITH 658 PASSES, WITH AN 88% PASS ACCURACY AND 73% POSSESSION. BUT SWITZERLAND HELD THEIR OWN, PUTTING UP A BOLD DEFENCE AGAINST THE SPANISH LADIES, MAKING 259 PASSES, WITH A 70% PASS ACCURACY, AND 4 SHOTS, WHICH WERE, ALAS FOR THEM, NOT TO BE! BUT TH...

ICELAND MADE 308 PASSES, WITH A 68% PASS ACCURACY, AND HAD 13 SHOTS WITH 4 ON TARGET, BUT WITH AN OVERLY-PHYSICAL HILDUR ANTONSDOTTIR FIRSTLY RECEIVING A YELLOW FOR ARGEY-BARGEY AND THEN A RED FOR A CLUMSY TACKLE, IT LEFT ICELAND DOWN TO 10 LADIES! FINLAND MADE 405 PASSES, WITH A 78% PASS ACCURACY, (HAD 56% POSSESSION) AND 16 SHOTS, WITH 4 ON TARGET, INCLUDING A STUNNER FROM KATARINA KOSOLA JUST 12 MINS. AFTER ANTONSDOTTIR’S RED AT 70 MINS., MEANING THAT FINLAND WON THE MATCH 1 – 0. THE FINLAND HEAD COACH MARKO SALORANTA SAID AFTERWARDS “IT’S BEEN 16 YEARS SINCE FINLAND LAST WON AT A MAJOR TOURNAMENT, WHEN THE WOMEN’S EURO WAS PLAYED IN FINLAND IN 2009. SINCE THEN, WE’VE HAD NO VICTORIES AT THE 2013 AND 2022 TOURNAMENTS. I’M VERY SATISFIED TO START...
