Sharing a passion for Sport!
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.
With Saracens playing in France I was in need of a rugby union fixture, so I booked myself a ticket to watch Wasps take on Leinster in the European Rugby Champions Cup game. I had no idea when I picked the game that it’d be the decider for the group! Result! Being a bit of a bimbo at times I […]
As I arrived at the Stoop last week I thought to myself – why aren’t I coming here again next week? Saracens were playing Munster at 1pm – Quins v Wasps started at 7:45pm that was a huge gap between the 2 games – it seemed a plan to do both! And so a ticket was bought before I left […]
After a chilly afternoon watching my 1st live rugby league game of 2015 next up was a somewhat bigger affair with rather more at stake. The relabelled European Rugby Champions Cup, strangely sponsored by no other than Heineken would take me to 2 games in a day. The 1st was Saracens v Munster Rugby kicking off at 1pm, a nice […]
Rugby League is back! A very odd fact for an Essex Girl (I use the word girl loosely) I’m a huge league fan! London Skolars, based in White Hart Lane in North London take the game to the heart of the City once a year. 2014 saw the Wigan Warriors step into the breach when London Broncos were unable to […]
A pleasantly good nights’ sleep in Gloucester saw me awake at stupid o’clock for a Saturday – but gave me time to write about my disappointing experience the night before. I need to make a note to self at this point – Buy breakfast the day before when staying in a hotel! Note taken on board. Having only had a […]
For some very strange reason a week ago I wasn’t going to the Gloucester v Saracens game; I sat with friends after the Saracens Storm game and listened to their plans, this got me thinking – why on earth am I not going?? Needless to say my ticket for the game was bought by 8am the next morning! The joys […]
The 1st day back at work after the Christmas break is always a bit of a struggle, what a nasty shock when my alarm clock went off at 6am! Just nasty! Not so bad though when I had a rugby match to look forward to! Monday night is usually meeting night for me so I miss most of the A […]
An evening in a Hotel, in this case the Holiday Inn Express, Filbert Way, Leicester, the one opposite the King Power Stadium, tends to mean dinner alone. The hotel don’t have a restaurant so I wandered round to the Steak & Grill Restaurant attached. And so, the lady eating alone in the evening scenario occurred, somehow I often feel as […]
It will soon become plain that I am in fact a season ticket holder at Allianz Park – home of Saracens. Some very clever marketing saw that happen 6 years ago now; £10 to watch Saracens play Northampton Saints at Wembley was too good to miss for a sports fan. Then it was rude not to but a season ticket […]
It’s here! January 1st 2015 means I can start my new sports related blog! I’ve watched 1 football and 2 rugby matches since I had my plan to track my year in black and white (or whatever colour the blog turns out to be!) It’s been hard not to write about them here, but they weren’t in 2015! So not […]
I thought that 2014 was pretty amazing for me when it came to live sport; I watched England Rugby Union play in Paris for the first time, then watched Wales play France on a Friday evening, before I drove to Twickenham to watch England play Ireland. Rugby Union isn’t my only passion I had an eleven day spell in the […]
