Game 2 of the Premiership Double Header had a lot to live up to, this was a London Irish home game and we were treated to another group of dancers. It was, I confess hard not to dance along to the 80’s music – in fact I did a little as well as sing quite … More London Irish v Wasps – Event 162
With the Rugby World Cup in England this year the usual season curtain raiser at Twickenham was delayed until late November. So, we saw a different date, but also a different team with Worcester Warriors joining the party in lieu of Harlequins. A wonderful opportunity for the club to bring both their players and fans … More Saracens v Worcester Warriors – Event 161
With no rugby within easy reach I had a search for some sport for my weekend – I’ve had one without sport so far, so I could attend a very special birthday celebration for my lovely friends Sue and Henry, but I planned not to have another. I found Spurs v Hammers! I was pleasantly … More Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United – Event 160
I’d guess that it’s been well over 30 years since I’ve watched live tennis, and as I recall that was John McEnroe at Wembley. In fact I’ve only watched tennis indoors, that was a schoolgirl error this year, I should’ve tried for Wimbledon or Queens! Maybe next year. I booked an afternoon at the O2 … More ATP World Tennis Finals – Event 157
After a truly wonderful Rugby Union World Cup I was looking forward to a spot of international rugby league, especially as the game was being played at the Olympic Stadium. Stratford is so easy to get to from my neck of the woods and the stadium is stunning. I’d bought 4 tickets so would have … More England RL v New Zealand Kiwis – Event 155
I’ve been to a number of ‘sporting’ dinners this year, this was possible one of the lower key events, yet it was also a rather special one. This was to celebrate 20 years of London Skolars – in the scheme of things that may not seem too many years, in the scheme of the game … More London Skolars 20th Anniversary Dinner – Event 154
I’ll warn before I start that I have no idea where this one will go! This was my first NFL match, and I’ll be up front, I was fully expecting to be bored to tears! My only previous encounter with American sports was an NBA match at The O2 – a 48 minute game – … More Kansas City Chiefs v Detroit Lions – The NFL at Wembley – Event 153
Looking through the record books I believe I first saw the mighty All Blacks play at Twickenham on 24 November 1979, I went with my then boyfriend without tickets we managed to buy two in the Cabbage Patch as I can recall. We managed to buy 2 of the 100 that had been stolen! But. we … More New Zealand v Australia – The Rugby (Union) World Cup Final – Event 152
This is going to be a bit like the bridesmaid following behind the bride – but I just had to get the RWC Final out of my system before I got to the Bronze Final. In reality of course this came the night before the Final – a match between South Africa and the team … More South Africa v Argentina – The RWC Bronze Final – Event 151
One of the off shoots of being at so many World Cup matches is that I haven’t had hours to sit and watch the games I haven’t been at. I was listening on the radio to the quarter final between Scotland and Australia so heard the outrage when Australia were awarded what was clearly then … More Argentina v Australia – The RWC – Event 150
