Hemel Stags v London Skolars
A Southern Rugby League Derby!
Italy v England – 6 Nations 2016
England travel to Rome for Round 2 of the 6 Nations
Saracens v Worcester Warriors – Event 161
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 to the home of English […]
All Blacks v France – The RWC – Event 145
When I was seeking Rugby World Cup tickets I always had in mind that I”d follow the All Blacks through the knock out stages, so bought myself a ticket for each of the quarter finals in Cardiff at the soon to be renamed Principality Stadium. It was a no brainer for me to travel to my favourite place to watch […]
Essex v Northants – Event 123
In line with Event 122 this is going to be short and sweet! I had a morning at work before I made my way to the County Ground, I’d left my membership card at home but had been invited to the Chelmsford Business Network Event by Chris Hughes of Kingston Smith and Andrew Lewis of Sanlam. This event brings together […]
England v Australia – The Oval – Day 4 – Event 116
I arrived at the Oval for what was going to be the final day of The 2015 Ashes; when I bought my tickets for this Test I had in mind that I may well be at the decisive day in the series. That wasn’t going to be the case – in a topsy turvy 5 Test series England had already […]
England v Australia – The Oval – Day 3 – Event 115
I have a terrible confession to make when it comes to Day 3 of The 5th Test – I arrived a little late and forgot to get any cash out on the way. I had rugby shirts to persuade Australians to wear and a need to buy lunch, which needed said cash! I decided to get all 3 things out […]
England v Australia – The Oval – Day 1 – Event 113
And so the end of the summer beckons and the final Ashes Test at the Oval along with it. As a Surrey and England member I’d taken advantage of being guaranteed my seat and bought tickets for the first 4 days. I later added Day 5 to my haul of Ashes tickets. What chance I’d get to see 5 days […]
Essex CCC v Surrey CCC – Event 107
After a crazy few days which took me from Nottingham to Cardiff – as you do when you’re sports focussed and not – they’re miles apart focussed I was looking at a week – well 5 days without sport! A quiet few days at home after driving a little under 800 miles seemed sensible. However Surrey were in Essex! Well, […]
England v Australia – Trent Bridge – Day 1 – Event 104
I’m about to break my self made rule about how I write my blog, I have the Surrey v Worcestershire Royal London game to write about – Event 103. But, I just can’t wait to write about Day 1 of The Ashes at Trent Bridge! I may not be able to get too many photos in yet, but I just […]
England v Australia – Edgbaston Day 1 – Event 99
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 opted for the first 2 […]
Essex CCC v Lancashire CCC – Event 98
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 on the day. White ball […]
Middlesex v Surrey T20 Blast – Event 94
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. With time to spare I […]
London Broncos v Whitehaven -Event 89
Having written a match report for the game on In The Loose – http://intheloose.com/2015/07/07/london-broncos-rl-v-whitehaven-rl/- this really is going to be short and sweet words wise. So, a Phlog it will be! I am I’ve decided becoming something of a photo geek, I take between 400 and 800 at every event I go to – then spend hours messing about with them. […]
Essex CCC v Australia – Day 3 – Event 87
A morning at the Premiership Rugby Fixtures Release gave me a small quandary – Essex were playing Australia in Chelmsford and Surrey were playing T20 against Middlesex at the Oval. In reality I didn’t have to think too much – I rushed back to Chelmsford after having a great morning. A chance to see the Australians play was a no […]
Premiership Rugby Fixture Release Day – Event 86
An unusual event, but sports related so valid to be here I feel. A recalling of the event and a bit of a article all rolled into one. I’ve said before but I will say it again – Premiership Rugby as an organisation are very inclusive. They recognise, ‘people like me’ – those of us who write about the game […]
