This episode is going to be rather different to hopefully all of the others – I made what you might call a major school girl error while at the cricket (Event 103). I deleted all of the photos I took at this game!! The word moron comes to mind! So this really is going to … More Warrington Wolves v Hull KR – Event 102
Every time I’m remotely near the North of the country I look to see if I can add to my rugby league viewing. It seemed to me that Birmingham is a lot nearer than Essex to the league heartlands so I decided I’d head up the M6 after my 2 days at Edgbaston. I’m getting … More Leeds Rhinos v St Helens – Event 101
Having had a day of showers and almost Autumnal weather for Day 1 of the Edgbaston test a better day was promised weather wise. Could the on field antics match those of the previous day? It seems that anything is possible in this Ashes series and wow yes it was to be another cracker! I … More England v Australia – Edgbaston – Day 2 – Event 100
After the horror that was Day 4 of the 2nd Ashes Test at Lords I headed to Birmingham with a level of trepidation. It was highly unlikely that we’d see a repeat of England capitulating in an afternoon, but could they bounce back from a record defeat? With the chance to pick my days I … More England v Australia – Edgbaston Day 1 – Event 99
With a Test Match to write about and a fairly simple Essex match I am going to be brief on this one, no really I am! The Royal London Cup is a great format for cricket, generally a fast paced exciting day of cricket, yet with more ‘meat’ than a T20 match, and a result … More Essex CCC v Lancashire CCC – Event 98
Having had a day in the sun at the Anniversary Games it was back to summer rugby – rugby league. The only snag is no one had told the weather, a cold, wet, blustery afternoon was the scene for the visit of the Sheffield Eagles to The Hive. With lots of sports gallivanting I don’t … More London Broncos v Sheffield Eagles – Event 97
Having booked tickets to see George Benson (yes he is still alive) perform at an open air concert in Greenwich it seemed rude not to buy tickets for the Anniversary Games. A chance to see the Olympic Stadium and some sport at the same time was too good to miss! I had the company of … More The Anniversary Games – Event 96
Now, this is going to be a very quick ‘blog’. Those who keep track of T20 Blast cricket and Essex in particular will know that this game was rained off. I live in Chelmsford so watched the rain fall all day – I knew it was highly unlikely that cricket would happen that day. However … More Essex Eagles v Kent – Event 95
Having been at the debacle that was Day 4 of the Lords Ashes I returned 4 days later for a more light hearted evening of T20 Blast. A local derby if there is such a thing in cricket between Middlesex and Surrey. As a Surrey member I was naturally hoping to see an away win. … More Middlesex v Surrey T20 Blast – Event 94
I have to confess to delaying writing this particular ‘event’ up for some strange reason. I am inclined not to write any words and just post lots of photos. But, that’s not my way so here we go. Lords – the Home of Cricket – is the one ground I had no control over when … More England v Australia – Lords Day 4 – Event 93
