  Speaker 1: Folks to the Netplele League into the studio today, but
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: circumstances changed, so we met up at the Three Hills
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: where I recorded the following interview. Now, we went up
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: with Three Hills and we kind of wanted to try
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and find a nice sort of quiet spot. So they've
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: got like a glass conservatory balcony out there overlooking a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: overlooking at the cricket pitch and it looked looked lovely
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and hope it was a tad hat in there. So anyway,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: we've managed to find a door to open, and I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: think so it sounds a little bit echoey, but I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: think we did pick up a tractor or two in
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the background doing his job. So anyway, let's have a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: little listen to myself and Danielle chatting. I'm joined now
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: by Danielle Black and we're going to chat all about netble.

  Speaker 3: I'm good? Thank you. It's a lovely day today.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's lovely sitting up here and he's like a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: glasshouse today and in the greenhouse. So daniel before we
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: go on to nepball. Tell us a bit about yourself.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Did you like sport at school? Did you you know,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: get round in the bye shids and every flag?
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Or did you.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: And did you play netball at school?
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Interestingly enough, yeah, played netball since primary school and then
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: went on to do it in secondary school. After I
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: left secondary school, I decided to take it up at
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: the Ashford Netball League in Stanhope. Played there for twelve years,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: and then I decided to because I live in Folkston,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: decided to make folks in my main team and then
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I mainly stay here and play games, and then I
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: umpire in Dover.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: LL do you so, Well, we're here today really to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: talk about the folks in netball league, but there's lots
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of other things that go along with it. So first
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: of all, tell us a little bit about the league itself.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: So our games we play every week, usually not in
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: half term, and we play them on Wednesday evenings, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: we tend to have two different divisions.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: We've got a Division two and the Division one and.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: We have about ten teams in our league at the moment.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: We play on Wednesday evenings. Games start at quarter to
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: seven and then we have our second games at eight
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: o'clock as well, so.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You can get through the whole evening with all these teams.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I mean they're scheduled ahead of time.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: We have someone that schedules them along with the umpires.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: When we start playing Netbort on a Wednesday evening, it
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: tends to sort of rotate. We play the teams twice
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: in our season and then that we get the results
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: at the end of the season.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Right, okay, So and what is your actual role in
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the folks of Nepal League.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: So I have recently joined the committee and I just
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: deal with the social media side of things. So I'm
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: the one that you'll kind of see on our Facebook
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: page posting results and dealing with any inquiries that way.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Oh so you're posting results, I must I must have
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a little chat about results because I've been following the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: results for a few years now. But there has been
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: two amazing results in recent times which I've never seen before.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: There was two draws. One was twenty nine ALL and
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: one was thirty nine ALL. Now that is really unheard of.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Was you involved in any of those?
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Actually they were both, Mike.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: So this year my team which I'm part of Tigers
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: has moved from Division two up to Division one and
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: our first game of the season we played a new
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: team called Merston and they were a tough team, but
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: we ended up with the thirty nine to all, which
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: as a shooter, obviously you or anyone wants to win
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: on the whole team, but yeah, I wish I could
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: just got that one more goal. And then the following
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: week straight after that, we played Scorpions. Yeah it was
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Scorpions that we played and then we ended up twenty
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: nine or and even we couldn't believe ourselves.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So that is amazing. Yeah, I mean the game itself.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Let's say, you know what sort of age group is
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: playing now? Are they mums or they are there many
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: youngsters coming through?
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Th we have two main youth teams that play in
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: our league, which are the Scorpions, and we've got Stingrays
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: as well, which are one of the newer teams and
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: their secondary school age sort of from age thirteen to fifteen,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: and they are coached by another Danielle. And we've also
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: got teams that Rachel coaches and Emily coaches. Emily coaches
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: are slightly younger age group. I believe sort of eleven
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: and twelve, and I hope to because I believe there's
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: a waiting list for year fives and six is hopefully
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: sometime in the near future.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: All right, so there is a lot. This amazing is
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: It's going I think he's going under the radar, all
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: this youth and it's so good to hear because I
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: don't really think NT bulls played much in schools now,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: is it not?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: As far as I'm aware, I don't.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I personally don't think it's played as much as I remember.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: I think it's occasionally brought in maybe for half a term,
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: which is definitely not enough time to get a good
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: grasp of the sport and you know, find.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: The real love for it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: And as coaches, we speak between ourselves and we kind
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: of say it's a bit of a dying sport without
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: the coaches.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's important to keep it going.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Right and talk about coaches.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: And if you like umpires, I mean, is there a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: structure available where someone who is, if you like, coming
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to the twilight end of their career, but once it's
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: stay involved in the game, can they go onto coaching
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: quite easily or umpiring?
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: The coaching courses are quite hard to come by, but
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: you can go through the England Netball website and you
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: can get notifications for when they come up. So at
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: the moment, I'm taking my Level one coaching course and
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: it's about one hundred and sixty pounds, which can you
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: can fund yourself. You can also do umpiring courses. They're
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: very reasonably priced on the same website. They're about sixty
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: pounds and then you pay an additional fee to have
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: your practical exam.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: But it's a really good way.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: I find now that I sometimes I'd never thought i'd
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: say it that I enjoy umpiring more than I do playing. Yeah,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: it's you find it kind of renews your love for
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: netball in a different way.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, So I mean to raise the money, I mean,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: do you do the clubs or in England Netball without
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: any allowances, or I mean do you do a bit
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of fundraising or have you got sponsors.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: So in particular, we tend to raise the funds ourselves
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: through tournaments and other means. We might ask for grants
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: from local businesses. So like this this weekend, we're obviously
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: doing our tournament and we'll do a raffle, so that
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: would be an additional way to raise money. We ask
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: the teams or any businesses that might be able to
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: donate any raffle prizes.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Right, so you said the magic word of tournament, So
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: tell us what's coming up, happening, all happening in this Saturday,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I understand, So tell us all about that.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: So we start around nine point thirty on Saturday, so
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: you can coming along and watch even if you're interested
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: in getting back into netball at any point. Finish around
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: about half three. But it's a super shot and we've
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: got mixed teams as well, so that means that we've
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: got up to three men on the teams, which is
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: going to be good fun. And they can only play
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: sort of goal shooter, center or goalkeeper. And the super
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: shot is there's an additional line in the circle which
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: is further out, and anyone that's the shooter knows that
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: it's difficult, but if you get a shot from that line,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: you can get two points instead of one.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Oh I see, Just so that's changing the rules make
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: it a little bit tough, especially for the shooters. Yeah,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you've been a shooter and all about are Yeah, yeah,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: that's interesting. Actually you touched on Did I hear that right?
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: You said there's many involved, it's a mixed tournament. But
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: whose idea was there? Is there a common thing in
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: sort of tournament netball.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: It doesn't happen very often.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: I have been a part of tournaments for more so
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: in Ashford where they have look to include men, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: actually they've gone above and beyond and more dresses before.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure they're going to be doing that this Saturday.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: But my husband's playing this Saturday for our team and
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: we've we've put him through his places and he's come
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: out saying how he's got a new found appreciation for
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: how hard it is, especially as a center.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But yeah, they are playing, and I think it's
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: going to be good fun.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: And the men just are they mainly if you're like
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the husbands or boyfriends that have been sort of coursed
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: into trying it this weeping.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: And I mean I've we've done a few practices and
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: a few of the husbands have actually been very good,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: and I think they're quite sporty. And my husband, I
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: felt like I had to drag him to come to it.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: He was sort of moaning and growing him. But by
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: the end he said, I didn't actually want.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: To come off the court.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Oh really, so yeah, and he comes along regularly to
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: support me on our game side.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Excellent. That's a great idea.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: So all right, I've got a little quote here that says,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: back to nipple it's something that I wondered if you're
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: nipplele a good thought about about sort of coaching for
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: people that might want to come back into the game.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so back to netbe is something that we have
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: actually run before as a league on mainly some days,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: I think it was previously. It doesn't happen at the
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: moment now, but I myself, as I've mentioned, I'm doing coaching,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: so it's something that I would like to look at
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: doing in the future for those people. And that's sort
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: of people that want to have not played Debel for
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: a long time. I just want to get out and
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: get a bit of fitness. I myself do netbele for
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: my mental health. So you know, you come along and
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: meet new people. Obviously, if you want to find out
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: more about that or express an interest, that would be
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: really good.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: So we would ask that you contact us for our
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Facebook page.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Excellent.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: So okay, I think we've covered most things Daniel, is
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: there anything else.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: You think we've forgotten?
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to go away and think, oh
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I should have said that, you know, I think we've
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: covered most of it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think it's good to sort of
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: spread the word about as many leagues as possible. Obviously
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: I've mentioned Ashford quite a bit. That's in Stanop. We've
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: also got Dover, the Dover Netball League, which is currently
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: being held at So the summer season starts again mid

• 12:34
  Speaker 4: League at gmail dot com and that's the register as
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: a floater for the season.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, so before we go any further, can you just
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: explain what a floater is.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: So, a floater is someone that comes along with no
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: commitment to any specific team. You can come along and
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: you play for teams that might need the positions. They'll
• 12:52

• 14:49
  Speaker 1: you could do the tractors in the background, they were
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: just dying to cut the grass, I think it was.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: But that was a great interviewer and it's nice to
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: promote a sport that, if you like, it doesn't get
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of coverage. They got too fantastic courts down
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: at the Three Hills, and if you remember a couple
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: of years ago, they were totally renovated, spend a lot
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: of money on them and they are now reaping the benefits.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: And it's good to hear that daniel was coaching and
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: looking after some youngsters coming through so that the sport,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: you know, just continues to flourish. Do you know what
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: it's not on the Olympic sport? Can you think you
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: know that some of the random sports that are in
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the Olympics now, you know, break dancing and I don't know,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: there's other things, but netball's been around a long time,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and it's such a shame that it's not made the
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Olympics because Olympics just promotes sport throughout the world. And
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I think if he was shown on the telly at
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: a world class level that I'm sure a lot of
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: youngsters would want to jump on the bandwagon and join in.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: So good luck to you, Danielle. And as I said,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I shall try and pop down on Saturday and have
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: a look at these many dresses. Okay, a bit of
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: music time now, So about this one. This is a belter.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: This is Broon Jovi, and it's my life.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I've seen a song for the brook In Hide.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Well, I need to call me out there as though
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't bring you stop that suddenly, but bon Jovi
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: there and it's my life. And I'll tell you what
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I say this every time go on to YouTube, put
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: bon Jovi flash Mob in there, and there's a couple
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: of clips of this. I thought, I don't know if
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: it s in Russia or Czechoslovakia. There's about one hundred
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: musicians all belting out this song all at the same time.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: It's like, you know, fifty guitarist, fifty drummers, a couple
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: of hundred vocalists.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Is and turn it up loud.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let's go do a bit sport now, bous right,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Well if you start with football, well, a new era
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: for jay Sauders at Folks in the Victor didn't start
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: too well at all as they lost a home to bottom.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Of the table.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Are all already relegated bousand PITSI by two goals, Daniel.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: If anything, this result showed the manager just what he's
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: up against their going forward on to next season. So
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: more from this on Saturday with eighty dwalks between ten
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and eleven right here on Radio Focus. Then he was
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: at the game and he will give us his inside information.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: The next game is tomorrow, actually good Friday, away to
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: biller Ricky who are second in the table, just behind
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Dartford and it really is getting close up there. Then
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: on Easter Monday it's a home match against Lewis. Now
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: last Saturday I've lost three one away to broad Bridge
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Heath and tomorrow with a one pm kickoff, have a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: massive task now as we know, I have already relegated. However,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: they face Ramsgate at the Riachfields and if Ramsgate win,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it means they've won the league and gained promotion to
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the Ishmian Premier Division. And I'll tell you what, they do,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: get a good following, and I reckon there'd be two
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: or three coaches coming over from Ramsgate, So I mean,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if there's six or seven hundred
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: people there, and I'm sure there'll be a few neutrals
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: as well that want to.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Just go along and see the outcome.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Anyway, news from the hythe camp is that the manager
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: of the seas of this season, and Nick Davis, has
• 18:12

  Speaker 1: guest of the show, Martin Chandler, is taken over. He's
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: going to manage. They've got three games left and what
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: a task he's got. He's got He's got to face
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Ramsgate on Friday and then on a Monday, Easter Monday,
• 18:32

• 18:52
  Speaker 1: between New Romney and Hawkings on Tuesday evening's played at Selinge,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: which New Romney won five neh, I didn't think it
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: would be I thought it might be a bit closer
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: than that.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: The goals were shared out between Josh Hastings, James Everett,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Dan Binder, Billy Somerville and Ethan Page, with Man of

  Speaker 2: Now the folks in the Victor Ladies.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Team, they traveled away to play Sitting Born at the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: weekend in the Divisional Cup semi final and they beat
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: them six to nil and they now faced that this
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: is interesting. Actually it should be a good fixture to
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: go along and watch. They now face a Lid Ladies
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: in the final at Mayston's Gallaha Stadium on Thursday the
• 19:40

• 19:44
  Speaker 1: in the Victor Ladies they've won the league, can they
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: actually do the double? Well, we're keeping eye on that,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. And where as soon as we find
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: out the score and we will let you know. But
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: it's been a really good first season for the Ladies
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: and we did have the two coaching staff come in
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: early on in the year and I think, you know what,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I think we might get them back in. Just give
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: us a rundown of how the season went. Okay, we've
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: got a track now from nineteen ninety eight. This is
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: a new Radicals and you give what you give. Paul
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: a cold there. Oh, I love this song. I haven't
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: heard it for a while nineteen ninety six and you
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: know what, I was listening really close lead to the
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: lyrics of that song has got some great lyrics, and
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure about these ones. It says, I'll watch
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: all the children, you pay all the bills. Well, I
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: do like that bit, but I do like the next bit.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I'll go wash the dishes, you go grab a beer. Yeah,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: that is a great line. Whoever thought that out you
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: got my vote, I'll tell you right. A bit of
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: a hockey news now, well it's junior hockey to be precise,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: because at the weekend, two Junior Optimist teams that made
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the trip to Nottingham Hockey Center to play in the
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: national finals. The under fourteen boys beat Calser Leamington two
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to one in a close game. The Ops went one
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: in up but CULSA equalized. However, in the second half
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the Ops hit the net once more. Final score two
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to one to the Optimists, thus regaining the trophy for
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the second year running. Now for seven of the boys,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: it was their second and national final medal. As they
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: move these boys now, they were thirteen last year and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: they won a medal. They're fourteen, so the next jump
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: up is there'll be the youngest. There'd be sort of
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen year olds in the under sixteen teams, but
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: what an experience of that aga two national finals. Now
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the girls under eighteen teams. Unfortunately we're beaten three to
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: one in their game against Old Georgians despite being one
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: let up their downfaward, conceding three short corners from which
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the Old Georgians scored three times. But let's put this
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: in perspective. This is two ops junior teams in the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: finals of a national, not a regional, a national cup,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: producing one winner for the second time and one runner up.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: So this just shows you how far the sport of
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: hockey has progressed in our hometown of Folks Then over
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the years, and how good the future is looking. So
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: a massive well done to the players, spectators, coaches and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: everybody involved who'd done the club and the town proud.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Well done.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we've got to be a wheelchair basketball news.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Well this is really exciting, this is really hot in
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: this league. The Folks On Arrow's wheelchair basketball season is
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: heading for an exciting end. As we said, the Arrows
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: have two games left, both away this Saturday against the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: London Titans and the last game in a way trip
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: to Chichester to face the Southern Sharks. The league tables
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: ahead of this weekend's games read as follows. The Arrows
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: are top they've played ten, they've got twenty points, and
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the Sharks are second. They've played ten, they've got eighteen points,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: and both teams are playing this Saturday.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I won't go into all the permutations because in this
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: league's two points for a wing, but you still get
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: a point if you lose, so it could all be
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: down to the last game of the season when the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Arrows play the Sharks. So come on, New Arrows, you
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: can do it. And it was so good to have
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Ben and Becky Potter and from the Arrows in the
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: studio recently. They explained so much about the game of
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: wheelchair basketball, and I've been following the progress for a
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: couple of seasons now and it really is exciting. Okay,
• 23:58

  Speaker 1: we've got Ady Dawk's show. We'll be joined by a
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: young lady called Ellis Stewart. Now Elis was one of
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: my guests last year talking about her very first ever
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: marathon in London. Well, she's recently completed the London Landmarks half,
• 29:21

  Speaker 2: But she has.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Another string to her boat. She's currently studying a university
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure which won the university in Canterbury as
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: a physiotherapist and she's a place and she's got a
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: placement at Whitstable Town Football Club and she will be
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: joining Whitstable Town as part of the team when they
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: play at Wembley Stadium in the final of the FA
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: VARs on Sunday May the eleventh. Now, if you didn't
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: know that whitstaball have gone all the way through to
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Wembley to the pinnacle of football in this country. It's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: a competition called the FA VARs. There's also a game
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: on the same day at Wembley Stadium called the FA Trophy.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: And in fact she will have a link there with

  Speaker 1: Addwks because Ad and Charlie from Seasiders Radio are hoping
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: to get up to Wembley for the second year running
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and to commentate on both the games and so we
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: can hear them back here in Folkston. So really looking
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: forward to that one. That would be really interesting morning.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Then between eleven and one we're still talking about Saturday,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the twenty six I should be conducting a two hour
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: London Marathon special. I hope to play out three interviews
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: from three runners who've never run a marathon before. Their
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: first marathon is going to be London and they're raising
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: money for a charity. Now, the three in question a
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Curly Morgan who's running for Asthma and Lung uk Den
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Kelly is running for Royal British Legion and Ellie Curran
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: is running for Young Lives Versus Cancer. So you can
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: see what a cracking couple of hours that's going to be.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Also in the show, I hope to have two possibly
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: three experienced marathon runners who'll be sharing their stories, what
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: it's like to run the first marathon and do they
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: get any easier and just I mean, I'm hoping these
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: guests can make it. I won't say the name is
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Just yet I've got to confirm, but they've run marathons
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: all over Europe, you know, and so it's got a
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: wealth of experience.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to that one. And so there
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: we go.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: So we'll have basically on Saturday, the twenty sixth, we
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: will have three hours of sport, highlighting local athletes. Now,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: the last song I think is going to be the
• 31:29
