Having started the week with lunch with Sir Garfield Sobers (I’m still pinching myself) the cricket theme of my week continued. The joys of having 2 memberships means I’ll have cricket galore on top of my Ashes days, being something of a cricket geek that’s a piece of heaven for me! The 1st game of … More Essex Eagles v Hampshire Royals – Event 82
Now, this in a way is a very odd event – yet, my goodness it’s also a completely wonderful one! Over the years I’ve worked in schools andI have had the chance to meet some inspiring people, often at an `Awards event or a Presentation evening. I saw Danny Crates, for example at an event in … More Lunch with Sir Garfield Sobers – Event 81
With just over a week of June to go Event 80 took me to The Hive for some rugby league. I’m clearly not going to make 365 events in a year, but I’m having a good go at getting there! And wow am I having a great time doing so! In spite of the fact … More London Broncos v Hunslet Hawks – Event 80
By strange coincidence I managed to do an impression of being a Kent fan, watching them 2 evenings in a row! Mixing things up with my T20 viewing this season had me at the Oval for the visit of the Spitfires. I had a morning of messing about with my photos from the game in … More Surrey Cricket v Kent Spitfires – Event 79
Having never been to Canterbury to watch Essex play I decided to head down after work for their T20 clash with Kent. I may have been a bit foolhardy, I hadn’t really considered how far away Canterbury is! Typically the day was one full of accidents all over the M25 and M2, the M25 had … More Kent Spitfires v Essex Eagles – Event 78
I think this may be one of my longest posts – The Top 14 Final at The Stade De France is deserving of more than a few words and I seem to have ‘messed about’ with loads of photos! Those with a nervous disposition may need to look away! It’s amazing how many of my … More ASM Clermont Auvergne v Stade Francais – Event 77
I’m sure when I changed my working week to a 4 day one I imagined I might do the odd bit of housework on a Friday, maybe catch up with some washing? But, ooh no! Not when there was an International 50 Over game on! England v New Zealand just had to be done! With … More England v New Zealand – ODI 2 – Event 76
My Friday, in other words, Thursday, saw another Essex T20 Blast fixture, this time the visitors were Gloucestershire. The joys of having the County Ground on my doorstep meant I had time to pop home after work before heading to the Members parking at Meteor Way. I’d chosen unallocated seating, which on this glorious evening … More Essex Eagles v Gloucestershire – Event 75
With the way the rugby league season has been set up by the RFL I had a fixture clash for Event 74. In common with a fair few London rugby league fans I have a season ticket for both London Broncos and London Skolars, for good measure I also have a Hemel Stags ST, with … More London Broncos v Leigh Centurions – Event 74
Friday night means T20 Blast! I really didn’t engage my brain when I wrote the Surrey v Essex fixture in my diary. For some stupid reason I interpreted the match as a Royal London day time fixture, when I paid £99 for a Take That ticket! Naturally when it came down to making a choice … More Surrey v Essex Eagles T20 Blast – Event 73
