In spite of some of the things life has thrown at me it's hard to find me without a smile on my face.I have 2 beautiful children and now 3 lovely grandsons, I love sport and writing about it; which I do at debsknigsport.com Here I want to share with you my thoughts on life, some sadness but hopefully a lot of happiness too. To show people that life can be wonderful even after tough times.
A quick summary of how the competition is going to work this season (Covid allowing). With Marseilles at last getting their finals on the weekend of May 27th. Pool Stage Clubs were allocated into three pools of five – Pool A, Pool B and Pool C. The pool stage will consist of five rounds with … More Saracens v Edinburgh – The Challenge Cup
A weekend away re-arranged twice due to Lockdown saw a great weekend in and around Birmingham for me. I most probably wouldn’t have driven all the way to Exeter and usually wouldn’t be keen to watch a tight loss. But having read some of the comments around the game I wanted to add my opinions … More Exeter Chiefs v Saracens
A bit of a general rant before I get into the game in hand. This week in the Premiership saw three Friday evening fixtures – Bath v Exeter – TV game – 102 Miles Bristol v Northampton – 113 Miles Wasps v Gloucester – 71 miles Only one of those matches was on the TV, … More Saracens v Sale Sharks
My live sport fix for this weekend took me to the Chigwell Construction Stadium – Dagenham and Redbridge’s home ground. An easy journey for me, I drove to Upminster and jumped on the train, 4 stops later and a 5 minute walk and I was there. I’Il drive all the way next time there was … More West Ham Utd v Tottenham Hotspur – The FA Women’s Superleague
I’m sitting in front of the TV to write this one, hoping to go to London Irish’s new ground for the Premirship match but commitments mean it’s a sofa match for me this week, so a match report that looks a bit like a live commentary. Things are on to a winner in the build … More London Irish v Saracens – The Premiership Cup
What could be better than a double rugby weekend at the Stonex Stadium, sadly not many other Saracens fans felt the same, we have a way to go before the Women’s games get the crowds they deserve. I attended a game around 5 years ago now at what was Allianz Park and the standard of … More Saracens v Sale Sharks – The Allianz Cup
Arriving in good time for the game I was surprised at how many empt seats there were, it would never have entered my mind not to attend this match, having been starved of live rugby for so long. Unless of course people were at Twickenham, but I suspect there were too many gaps for that … More Saracens v Harlequins the Premiership Cup
On Sunday 7th November I went to the Cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens and saw a dominant England performance, their opponents – New Zealand. This was a women’s international match and it was briliant! A crowd of 9366 made their way to Northampton. I’ve been to the ground many times to watch Premiership Rugby and … More The Red Roses v The Black Ferns
No photos for this one, I messed my camera settings up and those I took are really poor 😦 London Irish had been involved in 2 draws before their visit to the Stonex Stadium, the first of those being against Sale, when they trailed by 17 points at half-time, Sale had 31 at that point … More Saracens v London Irish
A thoughtful Social Media post from Yorkshire member Matt Loades, which very much deserves a wider audience. Aside from responding to sensible debate this will be my last word on this for while as I sadly accept that certain parties will never understand the seriousness of the situation. I wrote this earlier this morning. This … More Yorkshire CCC -heartfelt thoughts from a concerned member
