SPORTS SHOW WITH RUGBY,BASKETBALL,HOCKEY,HOWLETTS 5K REPORT AND A TRIBUTE TO GEOFF CAPES. · The Folkestone & Hythe Sports Podcast

• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Will Smith and the Man in Black. Remember that one
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: that was a good fit that was really big in today,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: wasn't it. Yeah, I was really enjoyed that. Okay, time
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: for some folks on the rugby club news now, well
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the first fifteen Last Saturday they lost thirty four fourteen
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to the Old al Tamians. This Saturday they are home
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: to Gillingham and Courian's first fifteen. The Seconds lost twenty
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: four to six at home to Edinbridge and this Saturday
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: they are a way to Snowdon who play their games
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: at the Welfare Ground in Alsham and thirteen. They didn't
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: have a game last week, but this Saturday they are
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: away to Gillingham and Coouran's second fifteen and well Downe
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to the Ladies team who beat Maidstone fifty three five
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: last Sunday. And their next game is on Sunday November tenth,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: when they welcome the Ladies from Sheppey Rugby Club. Now,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I've got a pretty busy weekend coming up. You know.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: We're sort of going away for the weekend. We're going
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to spend the day in Tunbridge Wells having a look round,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: but in the evening there is a bit of logic
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to this because in the evening we've been invited to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: former Academy FM and now with Radio Kent radio presenter
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Adam Dowling's fortieth birthday. Yes you remember Adam. He was
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: very vocal back in the day when Academy FM hadn't
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: long been going and you could always see he was
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: set out for a good radio career. And so he's
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: doing really well on the BBC Radio Kent. And it's
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: not just Radio Kent his show. It goes out over
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: three counties, so that's quite a little coverage. Well, the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: other reason that we're staying over is because I am
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the race EMC on the Sunday or don't forget the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: clocks go back an hour on Sunday. It's a bit
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: luck at it, so we get another hour in bed
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm of the race EMC at Bedgebury Forest, which
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: isn't too far up the road from Tunbridge, Wales. So
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: it's worked out really well for me. And on that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: day there's a half marathon and a ten k and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: it's only about twenty five minutes up the road from Tunbridge.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Wells Now, early days on when I did my first
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: bit of local radio, if you like. I applied to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: go on hospital radio oh years ago, and that's where
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I met Adam and before we got together, and we
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: used to do a lot together on the Academy Fair anyway,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that was the William Harvey Hospital and we used to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: be joined by a gentleman called Paul Hudson. Now Paul
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: used to have his own little show as well, that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: was called Hudson's Choice, and we used to go out
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: around the wards. It was sometimes it could be a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: little bit stressful going around the wards and asking if
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: people wanted what they wanted to play and then we
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: would play it in the evening forum. But it was
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: good fun and it was all for a good cause.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Great things. A lot of big DJs actually have started
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: on hospital radio. And so anyway, Paul had his own
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: show and he was a massive Status Quo fan. And
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I seem to remember that he went to a status
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: quote concert at a Vegebury part many many moons ago.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: So was you there? I mean, where we do the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: run is a great big field. I can only assume
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that that is where they did the concert. I just
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: can't imagine Status Quote Vegebury for us, but there you go.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: It was big back in the day. So this one
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: is for you, Paul, and you're will and enjoy this song.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I know it's your favorite track. Status quote. Here we
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: go rocking all over the world. That's a chun cool
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: brieve there. That was a blue contrail featuring a Sean Paul. Okay,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: so we've just got a little bit of basketball news here.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: The Folks and Saints under sixteen's eighteen beat seven Oaks
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: by sixty seven points to thirty four. And the under
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: eighteen boys narrowly beat Kent Panthers by seventy seven points
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to seventy two. And if you ever go and watch
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a game of basketball, it really go get yourself down
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the Three Hills and treat yourself. It really is a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: fast moving game. So when you get scored seventy seven
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to seventy two, you know it's been a pretty close game.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: At the moment, I could only find one fixture. It's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: this Saturday at the Three Hills. The under sixteen eighteen
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: welcome MSc Royals and I do believe they come from Sussex.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And that's for a one o'clock start. Now, hockey is
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: always lots of news from the folks. Optimus Hockey Club.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: They had the full menu out of eight and five,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that's right, thirteen games and this week, well they played thirteen.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: They won six, they lost three and they drew four.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: But on paper the men's team actually none of the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: team's got beaten at all. Mind you, there were four draws,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: but there were no defeats, which is excellent news. The
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: first team they beat Eastbourne five to two, and I
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: see the name of Tom Bean crops up. Tom is
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a former guest of the show, is a gb triathlete,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: obviously turning his hand to hockey. He got a hat trick,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: so we're down to you, Tom. The other winners were
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: gillinger Man, Courian's the fourteen they beat Gillingham and Courian's
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and another name we know, Harry Rowe. Well we know
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: his mom actually, so she's been on the show and
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: so Harry. We're watching Harry's progression, if you like, in
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: senior hockey, and he's doing really well. I've got a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: couple of goals there and well this was a close one.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: The men's sixty eleven they beat Blackheath Highwaymen by five
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: goals to four and the biggest draw of the day
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: was the men's eighth team they drew three all with
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Cliftonville Development. Switching our attention to the Ladies. Well, the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Ladies first team finding it a bit tough actually this
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: season they lost four to to Guildford's second team and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the Ladies second they beat seven Oaks Acorns by four
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: four goals to nil. The other two thirds and fourths
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: lost but the fifteen they beat Case Sports who come
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: from Rochester. They beat them three to one. Now there
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the ops, I think the whole league in fact are
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: having a week off. They call it a slip week
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: for some reason. But anyway, so there's no fixtures this week,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: so good excuse to get down to the three and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: watch a bit of a basketball. Now, there's a bit
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: exciting news come out of the Folks and Optimists Hockey Club.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: They've entered a contract with a firm called Stadia and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: they're going to facilitate live streaming of all our league
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: games on pitch one at the Three Hills and the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: commencement for streaming is Sunday, the second of November, so
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: that would be the first week that they get back.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: So what they're doing the filming is from a camera
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: attached to a central light tower on the western side
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of the pitch, which is the dug outside facing east
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: towards the spectator stand. Now, the equipment uses artificial intelligence
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to track the play and send a live feed which
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: will be broadcast on a TV monitor in the bar.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: How good is that? So if it's freezing cold and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: pouring a rain, you can stay in the bar and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: look at the live game going on in front of
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: your very eyes instead of going outside. How good is that?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So they hope to include other games such as cup games,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: summer mixed hockey and or junior games. So that's really
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a forward progress and it's typical of the of the Optimist. Actually,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: they are never a team for standing still. They do
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: like to move on and keep up with things with
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the with their coaching, with their social side of things. Uh.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And I was talking to somebody the other day and
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: they told me they might even have had enough for
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: six ladies teams this year, but they was just holding
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: back just a little bit. Okay, time for a bit
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: of music now and coming up now, we've got a
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: bit of Robbie Williams and let Love be Your Energy.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: The sound of Folkston Radio Folkstone Junior called miss missing
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: You from Billy Lockett.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Missing you.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Okay. Now, I was on the mic at the five
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: k Howlits Wild Animal Park, a fun run that takes
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the inside the grounds of the park itself. Five hundred
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and twenty and this was last Sunday. By the way,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: five hundred and twenty eight runners took part, the eldest
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: being mister Ray Johnson from the Faversham Running Club. Not
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the Ray Johnson that we know, but another one. Now
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: he is actually eighty seven and a half. I was
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: chatting to him and he hasn't been too well lately,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: but he got round okay. Now, this race attracts more,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: if you like fun type runners than the affiliated club runners.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: It's probably due to the nature of the course. It's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: a bit tough to get going. It's two laps with
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: some very tight turns and some narrow paths. Now a
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: big crowd of a group of they are all over
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the county actually, and they've all got their own little identity.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: They're called beginners to runners. They came along from places
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: such as charring Herne Bay, Harrietsham, Canterbury, Sheppey, Farming, Wall
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of Slade, Tendon and of course down the road a hive.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I think I counted fifty two of them actually, Now
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: spencial a special mention must go to Sue Elkins or
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Missus Ferrett as she's known, who successfully completed the course.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: She told me she wasn't used to the ups and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: downs after doing a very little training on the flat promenades.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: She took a very late entry and a bit of
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a spur of the moment, was very nervous at the start,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: but yeah, she pulled through. I knew she'd do it.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: There was an energetic warm up per lady called Jenny,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: who've got most of the crowd really rocking. You never
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: get everybody in. But the chosen charity of the day
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: was the Aspinall Foundation, which repatriates wild animals back to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: their natural habitat. And now I did find out that
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: this morning actually that two tigers are two lions, sorry,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: two lions are very shortly going back to the jungle
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: or back to the natural habitat be controlled for a
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: little while. They were hand reared by the Aspinall Foundation.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: And it's very sad to see him go, but that's
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the idea is and it's just to get him back
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: into their own surroundings anyway, most of the runners took
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: advantage of a free entry to go back in and
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: have a slower look round at the animals. I counted
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: five runners from Folkston Running and Athletics Club. First home
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: in accredited fifth place was Emerging Talent a young guy
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: slingsby in a time of twenty minutes fifteen seconds. Tom
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Jordan was next for the club in seventh position in
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: twenty one oh six. First lady home for the club
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: was carl Landa twenty four forty eight, Maria Fox Felicetti
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: thirty two eight, then Sue Elkins thirty nine oh two
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and Helen Merrick thirty nine thirty five in her very
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: first run in Folkston colours. Two brothers from South Kent
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Harriers took part. John Clayson finished twenty fourth in twenty
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: four minutes eighteen beating his elder brother Nick, who finished
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: twenty eight minutes and eight seconds. Now due to the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: everybody was back before the rain started and before the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: wind got up. If you remember Sunday, in the middle
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of the day, the old wind got up and it
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: was pretty pretty horrendous, but we were lucky. We got
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: going and we got out of it. Quick. So I
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: always have to choose a little song there to get
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the runners going while they're waiting to across the start line. Now,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: this time around, I chosen animal related song of course,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and well, I just want to thank Rachel and her
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: nice work team for presenting such a very slick morning.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: You know, it just seemed to glide by. So we're
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: done to Rachel on the team. So this is a
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: song I played as the runners across that start line
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: to get your toes tapping on this Thursday lunchtime for
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: a bit of tiger feats, Alexy Thief and a very
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: slow ending quite fading away in a tune called years Now.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: As I said last week, I was at how It's Zoo.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Well I got told off for calling it a zoo.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Actually it is in fact a wild animal park, so
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I'll have my my knuckles rapped because of that. But
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I've got a busy spell coming up to a Christmas
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: if you like. On Sunday, third of November, I am
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: at Deal there's a five miler Deal Striders there Deal
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Try Club. Sorry they used to be called Deal Striders.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: That was years ago, but they're now at Deal Try Club. Sunday.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: The fourteenth, we've got the Coastbusters. That's the Coastal Striders.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: They belong round at Ramsgate. They've got a ten miler
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and a ten k and I've got a couple of
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Christmas races coming up. Got one at BET's Hanger christ
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and I've got one. I don't know if I need
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: a Passcort. I'm going into Essex, going into South End
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: December the twenty six we've got the silk Wood Boxing
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Day run, always a favorite for local people. And next
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: week my guess will be Amy Seeger. She's going to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: tell us all about her trip to Iceland, believe it
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: or not. Iceland. Now. I was saddened yesterday to hear
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: about the passing of a man who was literally a
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: giant in his chosen sport, shot put. To Jeff Capes,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: he will be remembered for twice winning the World's Strongest
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Man and for his prowess in a shot put when
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: he was twice the Commonweld champion and twice European Indoor Champion,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and it's such a shame that he's passed away. He
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: was a very popular character in the eighties and his
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: face always seemed to appear somewhere on TV, whether it
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: was a chat show. He was in pantomimes, he was
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: in Superstars, remember that, Souper Stars, and then he was
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: doing commercials as well. He was everywhere. He was also
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: six times Highland Games winner, and believe it or not,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: he was a world champion in breeding budgies. Now, I
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: was doing a bit of research today and I found out,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: here's something you enjoyed after the aggression and energy he
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: burnt up in competition, that he had a big, big
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: walk in averary. Now, the eighties produced so many sports
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: in legends, and Jeff Capes was one of mine, and
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: he's certainly up there amongst them now. So I had
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to look for a suitable song to finish the show
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and play tribute to a hero of mine, Jeff Capes.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: And so I've chosen this one, labby Siffree. Something inside
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: so strong, and I see you, Saddy m.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: The higher you build your barriers, the taller rbit come,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: the fner you take my rights away, the faster I
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: will run. You can deny me, You can decide to
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: turn your face away. Nor mathter causes something inside wrong
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: and where that I can make it. So you're doing
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: me Wrong, song
