2:00
Speaker 1: at the end of the day we are volunteers. We
2:02
Speaker 1: do our best, but there is so much local sport

Speaker 1: that came my way. I thought I've got to do it.
2:07
Speaker 1: I've got to do a show. So got no guests in.
2:10
Speaker 1: As I say, if there was a guest in, they
2:11
Speaker 1: wouldn't get a word in because we got so much
2:14
Speaker 1: to get through. So let's get cracking on this Thursday lunchtime,
2:18
Speaker 1: you're listening to the sports ferre Kevin Day here on
2:20
Speaker 1: Radio Folkston, and we're going to start with football. Folks in.
2:24
Speaker 1: The Victor went to Dartford who are top of the
2:27
Speaker 1: table last week and do you know what, they were
2:30
Speaker 1: winning two nil a half time. But Dartford, you know,
2:33
Speaker 1: their quality told in the end they came back pushing
2:36
Speaker 1: and pushing and they drew to all In fact, they
2:38
Speaker 1: had a goal disallowed right the last kick of the
2:41
Speaker 1: game for offside. But the Victor players were playing really well.
2:45
Speaker 1: But it does make you wonder there was a new
2:48
Speaker 1: manager hovering in the background and perhaps they were all
2:51
Speaker 1: playing for a place the next season. So welcome to
2:54
Speaker 1: folks and Victor Jay Saunders and this Saturday they are
2:58
Speaker 1: at home to abous and pits. But more from that
3:02
Speaker 1: about football. Folksing at Victa Football on Saturday with Adrian
3:06
Speaker 1: when he comes in and tells us all about because
3:09
Speaker 1: he was there he was doing the commentary on the game,
3:11
Speaker 1: so he knows all about it. I have Town lost
3:15
Speaker 1: five to two at Mursdam, confirming relegation into the Southern
3:18
Speaker 1: Counties East of Football League better known as the Scaffold League.
3:23
Speaker 1: Today well sorry on Saturday there first of four remaining
3:27
Speaker 1: games is at home to Broadbridge Heath and it'd be
3:29
Speaker 1: ashamed to see them slip away. I really do hope
3:32
Speaker 1: they bounce back at the first first time of asking.
3:35
Speaker 1: It's a tough league to get out out of. Whitsta
3:39
Speaker 1: Ball is still in there. More about whitstaball later. If
3:41
Speaker 1: we get a moment and Fabusham are top of the table.
3:45
Speaker 1: They are teams that folks used to play regularly in
3:48
Speaker 1: the Kent County Premier League. New Romney be Borden Village
3:51
Speaker 1: one nil, keeping them top, and Hawkins you're beating three
3:54
Speaker 1: nil at home by Fleet Down United. Now this league
3:58
Speaker 1: comprises of seventeen teams, so thirty two games played the season.
4:03
Speaker 1: New Romney have played twenty four games with fifty nine
4:06
Speaker 1: points remaining top and Hawkins have also played twenty four
4:10
Speaker 1: with forty five points. At the time on the weekend
4:13
Speaker 1: they were in fifth place, so they still have eight
4:16
Speaker 1: games to go. On Saturday, New Romney at home to
4:19
Speaker 1: Metro Gas. Now Hawkins had a game last night at
4:23
Speaker 1: to Minster FC where they lost two nil, which pushes
4:27
Speaker 1: them now down to sixth place, and on Saturday Hawkins
4:30
Speaker 1: are at home to a Guru Nanak. Now the folks
4:34
Speaker 1: in the Victor Ladies had to fix the last Sunday
4:36
Speaker 1: against Ramsgate but lost three to one, but they still
4:39
Speaker 1: won the league. This Sunday they visited Sitting Born in
4:42
Speaker 1: the Kent Divisional Cup their final league games. Oh listened
4:46
Speaker 1: to this their final league games against Poor Old Bay
4:50
Speaker 1: Points second team, Poor Old Bay Point the second. They
4:53
Speaker 1: are bottom of the division. They've played eleven games. They
4:58
Speaker 1: haven't drawn a game. They've lost all eleven games and
5:02
Speaker 1: I don't know how they must have had a penalization
5:05
Speaker 1: or something there minus two points. That haven't just won
5:09
Speaker 1: a game there minus two So you've got to feel
5:12
Speaker 1: from I was in the team once when I was
5:15
Speaker 1: about seven or eight. We never won a game Anyway,
5:18
Speaker 1: moving on swiftly, let's have another little bit of music.
5:21
Speaker 1: We have got Anie Lennox and Why any Lenox There
5:59
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two and I love that song. Okay, time
6:04
Speaker 1: for a bit of hockey news. Now. It is the
6:06
Speaker 1: end of the season last Saturday for the hockey teams,
6:09
Speaker 1: so I'm just going to give you a brief roundup
6:11
Speaker 1: of what went on last Saturday. Now, the men's first team,
6:15
Speaker 1: they drew against the Blackheath, but they'd already won the league.
6:21
Speaker 1: Tom Bean got both the goals. They are now the
6:24
Speaker 1: South East Division one East champions and they move up
6:27
Speaker 1: to the Premier Division. The men's second eleven. Unfortunately they
6:32
Speaker 1: couldn't feel decided because of unavailability and injuries, so there
6:37
Speaker 1: was no game there. Now the men's third team, Oh
6:40
Speaker 1: listen to this one man. They were finishing the season
6:44
Speaker 1: on a massive high. They are now champions of in
6:48
Speaker 1: Victor Division three and they'd beat Ashford eleven to one
6:53
Speaker 1: eleven one what okay? So the goals came from Alex
6:58
Speaker 1: Wishard had got a hatch, Phil King got a hat trick,
7:02
Speaker 1: Alie Sutton, Sam Ireland, former guests of the show, Jack
7:05
Speaker 1: Timmins and theo Coombs. Nick Ward got one each, so
7:09
Speaker 1: what a way to finish the season eleven one and
7:12
Speaker 1: the men's fourth team they also banged in the goals.
7:15
Speaker 1: They won seven to one against Blackheath Heathens. Charlie Pepper
7:19
Speaker 1: got five goals and Kyle Mackett got two in a
7:23
Speaker 1: high scoring game at Girl Court. The men's fifteen well
7:26
Speaker 1: they lost six to five and Ben Taylor got to
7:30
Speaker 1: Jim mcgillaway got one, Gilia Michotte got one and tender
7:36
Speaker 1: nieka He got one as well. I've got those right.
7:40
Speaker 1: The men's sixteen they beat seven Oaks two nil, Joseph
7:43
Speaker 1: Allen and Jake Davison getting the goals. The men's seventeen
7:47
Speaker 1: they beat the Tunbridge Wells Hoppers at four nil, goals
7:51
Speaker 1: coming from Matt Goodwin he got two, Matt Carter and
7:55
Speaker 1: Dan Kennedy. And the men's eighth team they lost three
7:59
Speaker 1: two to burnt Ash Development, Norvel Scott and a Clive
8:03
Speaker 1: Styles getting the goals. Well the ladies was a bit
8:06
Speaker 1: of a low scoring weekend for them, not too good.
8:08
Speaker 1: They didn't have a win. Out of the five teams
8:11
Speaker 1: there was two draws and three losses. The Ladies' first
8:15
Speaker 1: team lost to to one to EPSOM, the goal coming
8:19
Speaker 1: from Hannah Harvey. The Ladies second team they drew one all,
8:23
Speaker 1: Bekashaw getting the single goal. The Ladies thirdeen are beat
8:27
Speaker 1: no sorry, they lost to a Maystone two nil. The
8:30
Speaker 1: Ladies fourteen they drew two all, with Gillingham and Kourion's
8:34
Speaker 1: Rachel Darling dry Berd getting one and Sarah Chiezman getting
8:37
Speaker 1: the other one. And the Ladies fifteen well, if you
8:40
Speaker 1: remember the Ladies fifteen they only started last yeah, last season,
8:45
Speaker 1: so this is their second season and now their last
8:48
Speaker 1: game of the season and they had to play Herne
8:50
Speaker 1: Bay and Herne Ba we top and the Ops fifteen
8:54
Speaker 1: worse second, so it was a winner play all. I
8:58
Speaker 1: don't know what happened, but they were are a very
9:00
Speaker 1: very strong side her and Bay and they beat the
9:03
Speaker 1: Ops five nil. But you can't take it away from
9:06
Speaker 1: the fifteen. They've got second place and they are going up,
9:10
Speaker 1: so how good is that? And finally the last bit
9:13
Speaker 1: of hockey is good luck to the under fourteen's boys
9:17
Speaker 1: and the under eighteen's girls on Sunday when they travel
9:21
Speaker 1: to the Hockey Center at Nottingham. Both sides are playing
9:24
Speaker 1: in a national cup final. Yes not a local and
9:27
Speaker 1: national cup final for their age group. So good luck
9:30
Speaker 1: to all and well done. So I mean once again
9:33
Speaker 1: flying the flag for folks and optimists, and what a great,
9:36
Speaker 1: great day they're going to have. So that's it for
9:39
Speaker 1: a little while. For the hockey, they do start a
9:41
Speaker 1: Friday night league I think is with mixed hockey where
9:44
Speaker 1: the team consists of men and ladies. So I think
9:48
Speaker 1: our media guru Amy will have a couple of weeks off.
9:51
Speaker 1: I especially find something to report on. But I must
9:54
Speaker 1: think Amy, I'll do this all the time. She is
9:56
Speaker 1: so good. She's got thirteen teams to chase up. The
9:59
Speaker 1: captain is the goalscorers, and she does it and they're
10:02
Speaker 1: in my inbox by a Monday morning. Okay, time for
10:06
Speaker 1: some music now. Now, we played a song by the
10:08
Speaker 1: Traveling wilbury Is and to me, they only made two
10:11
Speaker 1: really good songs that last week we played the end
10:14
Speaker 1: of the line for a wheelchair basketball. Sorry, but I've
10:18
Speaker 1: found another Traveling Wilbury's track which I really like. There
10:21
Speaker 1: are one of the early supergroups. If you like and
10:25
Speaker 1: listen to this. This is handle wickt Up and Battle
10:37
Speaker 1: Around Traveling wilbur Is. Can you name them? Can you
10:59
Speaker 1: name the Traveling Wilbury Well, I'll tell you what. I
11:00
Speaker 1: didn't google it, I really didn't, and I reckon it
11:04
Speaker 1: was like a supergroup really, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Jeff
11:09
Speaker 1: Lynn from Elo and Tom Petty from Tom Petty and
11:13
Speaker 1: the Heartbreakers. So check that one out. If I'm wrong,
11:16
Speaker 1: then just drop me a little lion, right. Okay, so
11:20
Speaker 1: this is a real quick fire show today. I'm going
11:23
Speaker 1: to do a bit of rugby now, folks and Rugby
11:25
Speaker 1: Club ended the season on a high with the First
11:28
Speaker 1: Seconds and the Ladies team all winning. The first team
11:32
Speaker 1: beat Medway sixty eight ten, and the Seconds traveled away
11:36
Speaker 1: to Medway and won thirty seven to twelve. And the
11:40
Speaker 1: Ladies in the very last league game of the season
11:43
Speaker 1: beat the champion seven Oaks by forty points to twenty eight.
11:47
Speaker 1: Now this was an amazing victory really because it inflicted
11:51
Speaker 1: them with their firsty feet of the season. Well way
11:54
Speaker 1: to finish, you know, the Ladies have just got better
11:57
Speaker 1: and better, as indeed have the first team. They started
12:00
Speaker 1: off shaky and got better and better. Unfortunately this second team,
12:05
Speaker 1: well they ended up bombing the league. But this does happen.
12:08
Speaker 1: You get a good first team and then perhaps you
12:10
Speaker 1: can't quite get a half decent second team. So the
12:13
Speaker 1: first team finished fourth, and as I said, the Ladies
12:17
Speaker 1: finished second in their league. And I've been sort of
12:21
Speaker 1: texting the Ladies team. I really really want to get
12:24
Speaker 1: a couple of them in and I'm hoping that they've
12:26
Speaker 1: responded now and said they'd be in touch. So I'm
12:29
Speaker 1: hoping that we'll be able to get a couple of
12:31
Speaker 1: ladies in and tell us all about this season. And
12:34
Speaker 1: they're just how big folks rugby club is when it
12:37
Speaker 1: comes to Ladies rugby. Now, I do believe the season
12:40
Speaker 1: isn't quite over as I'm pretty sure, and I don't
12:42
Speaker 1: know my facts on this one, I must be honest.
12:44
Speaker 1: They move into playing some cup games, so as soon
12:47
Speaker 1: as I find out anything about that, I'll let you
12:50
Speaker 1: know now. So local cricket season starts in earnest around
12:55
Speaker 1: the end of April at the beginning of May. I've
12:58
Speaker 1: had a check out on some of the fixtures, but
13:00
Speaker 1: they're not out yet. There's a few random friendly fixtures
13:04
Speaker 1: are going to be played. So when I've collated all
13:06
Speaker 1: the local fixtures, I will let you know. And as usual,
13:10
Speaker 1: the teams I'll be covering are a Folks and Cricket Club,
13:14
Speaker 1: Hawkins Hyde Cricket Club, there is a hythe Green Cricket Club.
13:19
Speaker 1: There's a Saltwood Cricket Club and a Simpton Park Cricket Club.
13:23
Speaker 1: And the cricket scene in the Sheppewey era is massive.
13:26
Speaker 1: There are so many divisions in Kent and it's going
13:31
Speaker 1: to take me a whole program to explain them to you.
13:34
Speaker 1: But a bit nearer the season comes along, I will
13:37
Speaker 1: be if you like, explaining exactly where and where everybody
13:41
Speaker 1: plays and what sort of status they're at. And I
13:45
Speaker 1: meantime I learn more music from the nineties nineties five
13:49
Speaker 1: I have this is super grass and all right, nineteen
14:17
Speaker 1: ninety five supergrass. All right, okay, time to move on
14:26
Speaker 1: once again. Now. A couple of weeks ago we had
14:30
Speaker 1: a brother and two sisters in Martin Chandler and his
14:33
Speaker 1: two sisters, Angie and Kirsty, and they came in and
14:36
Speaker 1: told us about how they were going to look forward
14:38
Speaker 1: to running the London Landmarks Half Marathon. Well it all
14:42
Speaker 1: happened last Sunday. It looked like it was a fantastically
14:45
Speaker 1: sunny day up in London, judging by the pictures, and
14:48
Speaker 1: they all completed it perfectly, all came back in one piece. Now.
14:54
Speaker 1: They were raising money for Evelina Children's Charities and they
14:58
Speaker 1: set themselves a target of one thousand and fifty pound
15:02
Speaker 1: and the last time I looked, they'd raised one thousand,
15:05
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty four pound, So well done to
15:08
Speaker 1: you three. And judging from their pictures actually on the
15:13
Speaker 1: social media, they had a fantastic day. There's some great
15:16
Speaker 1: pictures of them running around and there's a sort of
15:19
Speaker 1: a cheer station where they meet their family, you know,
15:22
Speaker 1: and it's so if ever you've been to the London
15:25
Speaker 1: Marathon and you meet someone that's either a family member
15:28
Speaker 1: or really close for in, it really is uplifting. It
15:31
Speaker 1: does the runners a world a grid and they are
15:34
Speaker 1: a shining example actually for someone that, if you like,
15:37
Speaker 1: steps outside the box and does something. I mean, Martin's
15:40
Speaker 1: done it before, but the two sisters, Angie and Kirsty
15:43
Speaker 1: had never run that far before. They trained hard, they
15:46
Speaker 1: had a great day and I'll bet you they'll be
15:48
Speaker 1: back right now. Also, the London Landmarks for folks and
15:52
Speaker 1: running an Athletic Club were Marie Brazier and Joseph Carroll,
15:56
Speaker 1: but special mention must go to Rob Collier who out
15:59
Speaker 1: of six hundred twenty seven runners in his age category,
16:02
Speaker 1: he came first in the age category. That is brilliant,
16:05
Speaker 1: so well down to you, Rope, don't forget there was
16:07
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand runners took part. Two South Kent Runners sorry,
16:12
Speaker 1: two south Kent Harriers runners also took part. Louise Hall
16:16
Speaker 1: recovering from an injury and was very proud of herself
16:19
Speaker 1: and Steve Waite loved it. Taken in the sights of
16:23
Speaker 1: London well and I just turn the page, should probably
16:27
Speaker 1: hear it. Folks are running and Athletic Club members were
16:30
Speaker 1: also at the Brighton Marathon. Ramjit Turmain was first home
16:34
Speaker 1: for the club, followed by Tom aspinall in a pb
16:37
Speaker 1: time and he raised one thousand pound for the Rising
16:40
Speaker 1: Sun Charity, a charity for which is striving to end
16:45
Speaker 1: domestic abuse. Joining Tom were Greg Dixon, Para Gurum, Phil Haynes,
16:50
Speaker 1: Jason King, Rosie Smison and Rachel Smith and my other
16:54
Speaker 1: half missus Ferret Sue Elkins. She went up there with
16:57
Speaker 1: Margaret Whittam to watch and support everybody. They got up
17:00
Speaker 1: early and they caught They took the car, took the
17:03
Speaker 1: train and they came back. They were buzzing. They had
17:06
Speaker 1: a brilliant day and they saw everybody. Meanwhile, in Milan,
17:10
Speaker 1: Paul Bartley run a PB the PB a sub three
17:14
Speaker 1: hour marathon and Pam Allen just missed the chance. It
17:17
Speaker 1: was a second fasted time. She just missed the chance
17:19
Speaker 1: of going sub four now. Whilst in Milan, Pam's husband
17:23
Speaker 1: Clive he ran the Milan Nord Park Run, whilst other
17:27
Speaker 1: runners found a park run at the following venues, the
17:30
Speaker 1: local ones Ashford and Dover. Somebody went to Newark in Nottinghamshire.
17:35
Speaker 1: There was runners that went to Brockenhurst in the New Forest,
17:38
Speaker 1: Dulwich in South East London, South Norwood in London, tour
17:43
Speaker 1: bay Vellow Park which is down near Torquay, and if
17:46
Speaker 1: you're doing the eight s head of park runs, Kay
17:49
Speaker 1: Evans went to Zida Park in Holland. Now once again
17:52
Speaker 1: I popped along to the Redne Park Junior Park Run
17:55
Speaker 1: where one hundred and five juniors took part, fourteen first timers,
18:00
Speaker 1: twenty seven pbs and twenty three volunteers. It was a
18:04
Speaker 1: happy sad day for one junior, Guy Slingsby, because it
18:09
Speaker 1: was his last part run as a junior. He's now
18:12
Speaker 1: turns fifteen and he's class as a senior, so he
18:15
Speaker 1: can't join in now. Guy has dominated the juniors in
18:19
Speaker 1: recent times, but he's also won the Senior Park Park
18:22
Speaker 1: Run in the past and he's a very exciting prospect,
18:25
Speaker 1: believe me. The volunteers made a special thank you. This
18:29
Speaker 1: was so funny. Have a look at it on my
18:30
Speaker 1: Facebook page. They all put on their Guy Slingsby look
18:34
Speaker 1: like masks and gave him a round of applause and
18:38
Speaker 1: his fellow runners awarded him a memento. Now, Guy not
18:41
Speaker 1: only he doesn't only run, you know, but when he finishes,
18:45
Speaker 1: because he's the first one back, he can often be
18:47
Speaker 1: seen at the finish line helping out and bringing in
18:50
Speaker 1: the bar codes and things like that. So I'm hoping
18:54
Speaker 1: I spoke to his mum and I'm hoping to get
18:55
Speaker 1: hold of Pat Hannis from the Folks and Running Club
19:00
Speaker 1: and see if we can get Guy in with his
19:02
Speaker 1: mum and we do a little special on the folks
19:05
Speaker 1: and the youth. Because of the track that is getting
19:08
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger, now this is in the playlist. It's
19:11
Speaker 1: a song and that came from really made famous by
19:16
Speaker 1: originally by the Trucks. It came to famous the second
19:19
Speaker 1: time round in the film Four Weddings and the Funeral.
19:22
Speaker 1: We're going to play that version, but you know it's
19:24
Speaker 1: one of those songs that is the cover version better
19:26
Speaker 1: or is the original bet better. I'll leave it up
19:29
Speaker 1: to you. They decided this is wet, wet, wet, and
19:31
Speaker 1: love is all around what their love is all around
19:54
Speaker 1: from the film Four Weddings and the Funeral. I respect
19:58
Speaker 1: some of you out they don't even remember the the
20:01
Speaker 1: show My age now okay, moving on. This time is
20:04
Speaker 1: focused in in Victor Disability football team under the guidance
20:09
Speaker 1: of Garret Wilson. Now at the weekend they had a
20:11
Speaker 1: prestigious fixture against Chelsea Disability Team. But it wasn't a
20:15
Speaker 1: good start really because there was a bad accident on
20:18
Speaker 1: the road about half a mile from the training ground
20:20
Speaker 1: and they had to get off the coach and walk,
20:22
Speaker 1: so I don't know, you know, they kind of might
20:24
Speaker 1: have upset them a little bit because they found themselves
20:27
Speaker 1: behind when the Chelsea broke down the right and saw
20:31
Speaker 1: Lee end up the end, up end the forward in
20:34
Speaker 1: the box and Chelsea went one dayl up from the spot.
20:37
Speaker 1: The second Chelsea goal came when a Brody was out
20:40
Speaker 1: and muscled down the right and the cross evaded mark
20:43
Speaker 1: for the forward to score and via the bar. They
20:46
Speaker 1: hit the bar and then it went in. But a
20:48
Speaker 1: half time in Victor changed the system a bit and
20:51
Speaker 1: changed a few players and Troy Harding pulled one back
20:55
Speaker 1: after receiving the ball on the left, culling at home
20:58
Speaker 1: past the keeper the corner. Later on and from the cross,
21:02
Speaker 1: Lee Avery headed in the equalizer. Paul Parker then later
21:05
Speaker 1: on picked the ball up thirty yards out and he
21:07
Speaker 1: lofted the ball over the keeper. Troy Harding added a
21:11
Speaker 1: fourth when he cut inside and fired home and just
21:15
Speaker 1: passed the keeper's near post. And with five minutes left,
21:18
Speaker 1: Josh Kendall with a near post he hit one and
21:22
Speaker 1: he fired in the fifth goal. So the final score
21:25
Speaker 1: folks in the victor of five Chelsea disability to him two.
21:28
Speaker 1: So that's a really feather in the cap there. So
21:31
Speaker 1: why down to Garret thanks for that report, And I
21:33
Speaker 1: must just tell you that Troy Harding manded the match
21:37
Speaker 1: there for his two goals. Now there's a little bit
21:40
Speaker 1: running that I just missed off. It was on another page,
21:42
Speaker 1: believe it or not about the Brighton and Marathon, because
21:46
Speaker 1: five South Kent Harriers went to Brighton for the marathon
21:49
Speaker 1: and all finished successfully. So well dones go to John
21:52
Speaker 1: Sweeney on his first ever marathon, John and Erica fall
21:56
Speaker 1: Fortuna for finishing, Kieran Pilcher and Ilian his hell. Now.
22:01
Speaker 1: John Sweeney said that it was hot and windy which
22:03
Speaker 1: made running a challenge, but an amazing day, lots of
22:06
Speaker 1: support and guess what, he wants to go back and
22:09
Speaker 1: do it again.
22:10
Speaker 2: Now.
22:10
Speaker 1: I dug this one out of the playlist because it
22:13
Speaker 1: did make me chuckle. This one, this one especially, this
22:16
Speaker 1: song is for Paul Barlet, Catherine O'Connor, Pam and Clive Allen.
22:22
Speaker 1: They all went to Milan and guess what. They're too
22:26
Speaker 1: sexy for Milan.
22:28
Speaker 2: For my love, too sexy for my love, Love's going
22:32
Speaker 2: to leave. I'm too sexy boy, my shirt too sexy boy,
22:47
Speaker 2: my shirt so sexy it hurts, And I am too
22:52
Speaker 2: sexy for Milan. Through sexy for Milane, your gang, I
22:59
Speaker 2: love Love go on to leave.
23:02
Speaker 1: To sixty six. Well, that one was. There was for
23:07
Speaker 1: the four people that spent the weekend in Milan running
23:11
Speaker 1: around the town. That was for Paul Bartlett, Catherin O'Connor,
23:15
Speaker 1: Pam mclive Allen and there to sixty four Milan. So okay, right,
23:19
Speaker 1: that's enough of that. Moving on. Well, on Saturday, after
23:23
Speaker 1: the show, me and missus Ferret we went down to
23:25
Speaker 1: the Sunny Sands and to watch the Beach Sprint regatta.
23:29
Speaker 1: Let me just remind you what the competitors do. They
23:33
Speaker 1: started the start line, they run fifty yards, jump into
23:36
Speaker 1: a boat which is being handled and looked after by
23:40
Speaker 1: two fellow colleagues. They then have to row out to
23:47
Speaker 1: a boy, a marker boy around the boy come back.
23:50
Speaker 1: They get out the boat, help to buy the handlers,
23:53
Speaker 1: then run back up the beach fifty yards to cross
23:55
Speaker 1: the line. Sounds simple, doesn't it. But when we got
23:58
Speaker 1: down there, the wind it was blowing and the tide
24:01
Speaker 1: was like if you're looking out of the Sunny Sands,
24:03
Speaker 1: it was like the tide was coming in at forty
24:06
Speaker 1: five degrees with a bit of a swell. Now I'm
24:09
Speaker 1: sure there's a nautical term for that, but I don't
24:12
Speaker 1: know it. But it did look a bit choppy now
24:15
Speaker 1: they started off. I was talking to Sally Watkins actually,
24:19
Speaker 1: and she told me that the idea was to let
24:21
Speaker 1: four boats go together. So there was four boats, you know,
24:25
Speaker 1: like on the sea at the same time. But the
24:27
Speaker 1: tides were pushing them across and they were bumping into
24:30
Speaker 1: each other, and there was a rescue boat out there.
24:32
Speaker 1: But they decided that it was just a bit dangerous.
24:35
Speaker 1: So the races actually only had two competitors, two A
24:39
Speaker 1: competitors in easy for you to say, and two competitors
24:44
Speaker 1: two lanes, which made it for a longer day, but
24:47
Speaker 1: they did manage to squeeze all the races in. So
24:49
Speaker 1: it was exciting because the two sprinters. Every time the
24:53
Speaker 1: two sprinters seemed to get in the boat at the
24:55
Speaker 1: same time. But that's where it ended. One went one way,
24:58
Speaker 1: one went the other way. They were fighting the tides
25:01
Speaker 1: really tough to get around the boy and then when
25:04
Speaker 1: they came back, they were like struggling to sort of
25:06
Speaker 1: get in a good position so they didn't have to
25:08
Speaker 1: run too far up the beach anyway. It was really exciting. Now.
25:12
Speaker 1: Zoey Mond, who was our guest last week. Week before
25:16
Speaker 1: Zoe came in and she told us all about it,
25:18
Speaker 1: and she sent me in this little report. So basically,
25:22
Speaker 1: on Saturday, Folks and Ryan Club made history hosting the
25:25
Speaker 1: first ever beach sprint regatta in the Southeast and what
25:28
Speaker 1: a day it was. With over one hundred competitors from
25:31
Speaker 1: clubs of Firefield as Dorset, the beach was buzzing with energy,
25:35
Speaker 1: new boats and plenty of spray. Now the Folks and
25:39
Speaker 1: Junior Squad were out in force, showing serious potential in
25:43
Speaker 1: their first taste of beach sprint racing. Brook Leopard, Bethany
25:47
Speaker 1: Richley and Jasper Smith all rowed with grittin style, whilst
25:51
Speaker 1: the rest of the squad got stuck in the action
25:53
Speaker 1: as boat handlers, keeping things running smoothly and showing the
25:57
Speaker 1: kind of team spirit the boat's well for the future.
26:00
Speaker 1: Expect big things from this crew. So a special shout
26:03
Speaker 1: out goes to Maddie Wybrow who stormed to second place,
26:06
Speaker 1: just behind a gb rower attashed Phillips, a fantastic achievement
26:10
Speaker 1: in a tough field. The relay team took home to win.
26:13
Speaker 1: It was by default actually, as they were comfortably in
26:17
Speaker 1: the lead when the race had to be stopped. Due
26:19
Speaker 1: to the rising swell, and I'm sure that was just
26:22
Speaker 1: you know, like for safety. They've got the safety, but
26:24
Speaker 1: they've got to be looking after their own rowers, haven't they. Now.
26:28
Speaker 1: This event was masterminded and delivered by the former guests
26:31
Speaker 1: of the show, Zoeymond and Becky Plestid, whose hard work
26:34
Speaker 1: and vision brought this incredible day to life. They were
26:37
Speaker 1: also lucky to have the support and expertise of British
26:41
Speaker 1: rowings Lucy Hart and Rob Mays, whose presence and coaching
26:45
Speaker 1: helped highlight just how brilliant this venue and this sport
26:48
Speaker 1: can be. So there we go, So a new sport
26:51
Speaker 1: to look out for, and I'm sure it'll be there again.
26:54
Speaker 1: They got to pick the day. They've got to pick
26:56
Speaker 1: the day. They've got to check the tides. They can't
26:58
Speaker 1: really have it in the summer, which is a shame
27:00
Speaker 1: because the beach will be packed and they I'm sure
27:03
Speaker 1: they can't like take over the beach for the day.
27:06
Speaker 1: But they do have their own regatta and I haven't
27:10
Speaker 1: got the date to hand at the moment, but I
27:11
Speaker 1: normally pop down there and have a look at the regatta.
27:14
Speaker 1: So anyway, time for a bit more music, we are
27:16
Speaker 1: packing it in today and this is Reef and place
27:19
Speaker 1: your Hands as Reef's there and a song called place
27:38
Speaker 1: your Hands. Okay, now our last big report coming up
