WE HAVE PLEASURE IN PRESENTING YESTERDAY’S THRILLING RUGBY WORLD CUP ACTION, WHICH WAS ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING! “THE TRIUMPH OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT” WAS PREVELANT IN ALL MATCHES, WITH TEAMS WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN PERCEIVED AS ‘UNDERDOGS’ TO START WITH, TRYING THEIR VERY BEST RIGHT UNTIL THE FINAL WHISTLE. AND THAT, IN ITSELF, IS WORTH A TROPHY (WHEN CONSIDERING HOW SOME OF THE OPPOSING SCORE-LINES WERE CLOCKING-UP.) AS MUCH AS WE ADMIRED THE SKILLS OF THE WINNING TEAMS, WE ALSO HAD THE UTMOST ADMIRATION FOR THE PERSEVERANCE AND RESILIENCE OF THE LOSING TEAMS. IT WAS ANOTHER BRILLIANT DISPLAY OF WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE THE MENTALITY OF A WORLD CLASS SPORTSMAN…! RUGBY WORLD CUP 2023 – SCOTLAND VS ROMANIA – 30/09/2023 RUGBY WORLD CUP 2023 – FIJI VS...

THE LIONESSES SEEMED TO HAVE A ‘BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE’ LAST NIGHT IN THEIR CLASH WITH THE NETHERLANDS, NOT LEAST BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF VAR, WHICH IS STRANGELY NOT MANDATORY WITHIN UEFA’S RULES FOR THE NEW WOMEN’S NATIONS LEAGUE, OR IN THE WOMEN’S SUPER LEAGUE, AND IT WILL, IN FACT, ONLY BECOME APPARENT IN THE LATTER STAGES OF THE WOMEN’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AND MAJOR TOURNAMENTS SUCH AS THE WORLD CUP.   ENGLAND CAPTAIN MILLIE BRIGHT HAS BEEN SCRATCHING HER HEAD ABOUT THE ABSENCE OF THE TECHNOLOGY, BUT SAID SHE DID NOT WANT TO USE IT AS AN EXCUSE FOR FAILING TO CLEAR THE BALL BEFORE LIEKE MARTENS SCORED THE OPENER. HOWEVER, IT WAS PLAIN TO SEE BY MOST, AND AFTER FURTHER REPLAYS, THAT IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE GOAL SHOULD NOT HAVE STOOD BECAUSE DANIELLE VAN...

WE HAVE PLEASURE IN PRESENTING SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS SO FAR FROM THE WORLD ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS WITH ZHARNEL HUGHES WINS BRONZE, JOSH KERR TRIUMPHS IN THE 1500 M FINAL IN 3:29:38 s, AND ALSO, KATARINA JOHNSON-THOMPSON IN THE HEPTATHLON TO WIN ANOTHER GOLD, AND THEN MATTHEW HUDSON SMITH WON A SUPER-SILVER MEDAL IN THE 400 M. HOWEVER, YOU COULD SEE BY HIS REACTION WHEN HE LOOKED AT THE BOARD, AND AFTERWARDS, WHEN HE TOOK HIS MEDAL OFF FOR A BRIEF PERIOD, THAT HE WAS NOT HAPPY WITH HIS PERFORMANCE. MATTHEW HUDSON-SMITH WINS A SPECTACULAR SILVER MEDAL IN THE 400 M IN BUDAPEST MATTHEW WAS LITERALLY ‘PIPPED’ TO THE POST BY JAMAICAN CHAMPION ANTONIO WATSON, WHO CROSSED THE LINE IN 44.22, WITH MATTHEW CROSSING THE LINE IN 44.31 – A MATTER OF SPLIT SECONDS. BUT IT JUST DIDN...
