Having been to Alistair Cook’s Benefit Match at The County Ground last year it was a total no brainer to go to the T20 match between Essex and Ravi’s All Stars! The evening promised a wealth of world class cricketers. In fact the morning after I still can’t believe such a plethora of cricketing superstars … More Essex v Ravi’s All Stars – Event 72
With my decision to make 2015 a huge sporting year I kept a good eye on the events taking place for Ravi Bopara’s Benefit year. I just couldn’t resist his benefit dinner at The Grange Hotel St Paul’s in London. A huge added bonus was the presence of Kevin Pieterson – how controversial would he … More The Ravi Bopara Benefit Dinner – Event 71
The 31st of May and I seem to have gone a bit sports crazy! 70 Events – I wonder what the total will be by the 31st of December! I have a feeling the last event of the year could be the Big Game 8 at Twickers, unless I can sneak some footie in there! … More London Broncos v Bradford Bulls – Event 70
I know I keep saying I’m going to make these blogs a Phlog – lots of photos not so many words – but I can’t seem to stop typing one I start! But, for Event 69 I really do mean it – Bath Rugby v Saracens – The Premiership Final! Something of a big game! … More Bath Rugby v Saracens – Event 69
Friday evening and it was T20 Blast time again – this time it was all about local cricket – Essex Eagles v Somerset (No fancy Name) – I’m going to mix my T20’s up a bit this year so won’t be at all of the Essex games, but this one I just had to go … More Essex CCC v Somerset CCC – Event 68
After a rugby league fest it was time for a more leisurely pursuit, during the Easter holidays I’d had a quiet day, that generally has me looking for sports fixtures. I already had my Essex and Surrey dates pencilled into my diary so looked further afield. Lords – The Home of Cricket is a place … More Middlesex v Kent , – Event 67
Phew nearly done! Game 8 of 8 of my rugby league fest and of course 7 of 7 for the Summer Bash! This is probably going to read a bit more like an In The Loose article than my normal blog; but needs must. The final game should have been the best of the lot, … More Leigh Centurions v Featherstone Rovers – Event 66
Game 2 saw Doncaster sitting rock bottom with 13 games and 13 losses take on Hunslet lying 9th with 4 wins from their 12 games. A mention of lunch before I carry on – same sort of pasta as the Waitrose fare the day before – but this time a Sainsbury’s fork! It lasted! Hooray! … More Doncaster v Hunslet Hawks – Event 65
I shocked myself on Day 2 of the Summer Bash by not waking up until gone 9am! Unheard of! I nearly missed breakfast and probably looked a sight when I did go down! Hopefully the rest of the guests were bleary eyed too! I decided not to be fooled by that shiny thing in the … More Dewsbury Rams v Batley Bulldogs – Event 64
In common with Magic Weekends the final game of the day tends to be set of as the one that should be the best on the day. With that in mind we had Bradford Bulls v Halifax to look forward to. Bulls relegated along with Broncos had fared better in the league with 11 wins … More Bradford Bulls v Halifax – Event 63
