365 Sporting Days
Sharing a passion for Sport!
Having enjoyed T20 cricket at the Oval then Premiership rugby at the Kassam Stadium Sunday brought me rugby league in the shape of London Skolars v Barrow Raiders. Breakfast with my Saracens friends in Oxford came first – we went to Frankie & Benny’s who did make a bot of a mess of breakfast, but impressively recognised that fact and […]
Having watched a couple of hours of cricket at the County Ground I headed back to my car and set off for White Hart Lane to watch London Skolars play – and this is a bit of a mouthful – The University of Gloucestershire All Golds! Next to Essex Cricket Skolars are the closest to home for me – The […]
Easter Monday means rugby league, if fixtures fall right, and this year they most certainly did! Batley Bulldogs travelled to play London Broncos. Batley have a long and rich history, coming into being in the 1880’s; they were one of the original 20 clubs to break away at the famous meeting in the George Hotel in Huddersfield. They play their […]
Having thoroughly enjoyed 2 days of cricket Good Friday brought a local derby between London Skolars and Hemel Stags. The weather was back to yuk having had a touch of Spring; Skolars are my closest rugby team round about 45 minutes away with a good run. That consist of the A12,M25, A406 with a smidgeon of A10 added in at […]
After watching one of my rugby league teams lose by just the 82 points I was very much looking forward to seeing London Broncos get a win. Well, I was hoping that would be the case anyway! Having had a taste of Spring on the Saturday, Sunday morning was glorious in Chelmsford! I dressed accordingly and took Shirley (yes […]
Another break in the 6 Nations schedule meant a break in my gallivanting but not a break in watching sport! With London Skolars playing Swinton Lions at The New River Stadium in the Challenge Cup a trip to my nearest team was a plan! Now rugby league is these days meant to be a summer game, of course with the […]
This isn’t going to be a very long ‘episode’ – my 2nd game of the day and 5th of the weekend took place after the Doncaster RLFC v Featherstone Rovers game at the Keepmoat Stadium. I was lucky enough to be able to go inside between the 2 games which was a huge relief as it was beyond cold by […]
With the final game of the World Club Series being in St Helens on the Sunday evening that was a game I just couldn’t make, far too long a journey to make it home at a reasonable time! However one of my teams London Broncos were playing in Doncaster! Now, I didn’t really know how far from home that was, […]
My 3rd of 5 games for the weekend took me to Wigan to watch part 2 of the World Club Series. Having been to Central Park a couple of times now I’m chuffed to say I can get to and away from the stadium via a traffic missing shortcut! Always good to miss the queue! The parking situation wasn’t terribly […]
When I was booking my 6 Nations adventures I had a look at where I could go to for my live sport on the 2 break weekends. Imagine my delight when I realised that the World Club Challenge games were due to take place during the February break. I am giving away my next event – but to my delight […]
An opportunity to interview London Broncos Head Coach Joey Grima also gave me the chance to watch the team train. Now that was something I just had to do – I’ve supported this team since the advent of Superleague in 1996. I found myself heading to Bushey – I knew that was in the general direction of Watford but of […]
The rugby league season is moving closer and so on a chilly Sunday in January a friendly between 2 of the teams I support – London Skolars and London Broncos beckoned. Skolars spent the bulk of last season playing in Enfield while a new 4G pitch was being laid. The ‘friendly’, if there is such a thing in rugby league […]
Rugby League is back! A very odd fact for an Essex Girl (I use the word girl loosely) I’m a huge league fan! London Skolars, based in White Hart Lane in North London take the game to the heart of the City once a year. 2014 saw the Wigan Warriors step into the breach when London Broncos were unable to […]
I thought that 2014 was pretty amazing for me when it came to live sport; I watched England Rugby Union play in Paris for the first time, then watched Wales play France on a Friday evening, before I drove to Twickenham to watch England play Ireland. Rugby Union isn’t my only passion I had an eleven day spell in the […]
