I’m writing this after Event 93 – Day 4 of the Ashes Test at Lords – I’m quite relieved that I haven’t had time to write about the game at The Oval, it means I may have calmed down before I start that one! I’d bought tickets for my brothers to watch Somerset at the … More Surrey v Somerset T20 Blast – Event 92
A reasonable nights’ sleep and it was time to head back into Cardiff for what I hoped would be the final day of the 1st Ashes Test. England had set Australia a target of 412 to win the game. Theoretically they had 2 days to get that total, although rain was promised for Day 5. … More England v Australia – Cardiff Day 4 – Event 91
A quick explanation before I start – I took the decision when I started on my blog that each day, each game on the same day would be its own event. And so here’s the first of what could be 13 days at The Ashes for me this summer! That’s all dependent on both the … More England v Australia – Cardiff Day 3 – Event 90
When I collected my tickets for Australia’s visit to the County Ground I was very hopeful that I’d be able to spend a good part of my Saturday watching them in action. Some of me thought it might be done and dusted by then, but Essex made a good competition of the game and the … More Essex CCC v Australia Day 4 – Event 88
I started my 365 Sporting Days at The Boleyn Ground – Upton Park and just over halfway through the year I decided to make a visit again! I was told at the London Skolars match that the Hammers were playing a European game and charging a mere £10 – that in my books, was way … More West Ham Utd v Lusitanos – Event 85
Due to the less than clever fixture setting by the RFL I’ve missed a couple of London Skolars matches as they’ve clashed with London Broncos fixtures. I can’t that it would’ve taken too much to make sure the fans of both clubs could support both. I had a pretty grotty journey – I think may … More London Skolars v South Wales Scorpions – Event 84
Now then, I think this is when people realise I really am something of a cricket geek! And I suspect I’ll be setting the tone for my days at The Ashes. I can see the full days I spend will most likely to a Phlog (made up word) rather than my often rambling blogs. Let’s … More Surrey Cricket v Gloucestershire Cricket – Event 83.
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
