  Speaker 1: a story song.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I might dig it out of
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the playlist later but we better get on with some
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: sport now because we have got a massive report coming
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: up about cricket. What is coming. Saturday is the last
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: one of the season for most of our clubs. Some
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: have finished already, so I've prepared a comprehensive roundup of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: all our local clubs and a summary of where they
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: stand in their respective divisions. So let's start with Folks
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the first eleven. Well, they played their cricket in the Championship,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: which is the second tier of the Kent Cricket League.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: They traveled to which the ball who batted first and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: making really having a bad day with the bat and
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: could only make forty four or not out, so they
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: lost the game by one hundred and thirty six runs,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: leaving them in seventh place out of ten. Their last
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: game on Saturday is at home to Canterbury are fourth,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: so there are no real issues here. Both teams are
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: going to stay in his Championship for another season. So
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I do mention Folkston first eleven nearly every time I can,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: but they have got, believe it or not, four other teams,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: so we're going to give them a little mentioned a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: little update now. In Division six in the Hurricane Section.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Folkston's second eleven's game at home against Moat Cricket Club
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: was incomplete, probably due to the weather. Folkston batted first,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: making two hundred and sixty four for four, then made
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: ninety seventh to three. Now the Seconds, like the first eleven,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: are in seventh spot out of ten. Their last game
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: is away to Nonnington, who are fourth in Division ten.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Shepherd Section is the third eleven. Believe you or Not
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: are also seventh. Last Saturday, they travel to Reculver and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: beat them by one hundred and twenty four runs Anthony
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Stanley corn Bole just two runs short of his century
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: on Well, what a shame, what a waste they folks.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: In thirty eleven's last game is at home to already doomed.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: They're all doomed Westgate on Sea in Division eleven Shepherd
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Section Folks and fourteen, who are fifth out of eight
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: teams in that division were They fielded first against Nelson
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Cricket Club from Thanet, who made one hundred and sixty
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: eight for nine Folkston. Then they made one hundred and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: sixty nine for nine, so they won the game by
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: one wicket. This week they are at home to top
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of the table Ashford second eleven, who looks certain to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: win that division even if they lose on Saturday. In
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Division twelve, Shepherd Section Folkston a fifth eleven who are
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: sixth out of seven teams. Not so good there, but
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it's only a little league and it's it's mainly youth teams, youngsters,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and that they lost the top team at Street End,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: who come from Justice side of Canterbury. The fifth eleven's
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: last game is a way to Chestfield, which means a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: trip close to Whitstaball. So there you are. That's the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: up to date news from the Folks and five teams.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: So we're going to go through the rest shortly. But
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I had to. I had to dig this one out
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: of the playlist and talking of ten c C which
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: we were a bit earlier, this is a Dreadlock holiday.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I don't like cricket, m.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: I love.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: CEC. There you know, that's about the only song I've
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: around that I think's got a mention of cricket. Put
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: cricket in the playlist and nothing comes up. So there
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: we go. Then CEC Dreadlock Holiday, so it's talking to crickets.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I've split this up into two this week because they've
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: got so much to get through, so you're gonna excuse
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: me a seconds. They a little cough off here, then
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: just clear my throats because moving on to our other
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: local teams. Now, Siptom Park, well they run two Saturday teams,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: whereas all the others run are just one and not
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: forgetting that most of them run Sunday and thriving youth teams.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: So let's let's crack on with Siptom Part. The first eleven, well,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: they're currently fourth out of ten in Division five Hurricane Section.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Now they beat Tunbridge by four wickets. Their last game
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is at home against Batchild who are bottom of the table,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and they're already doomed. We're all doomed for a relegation.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Now the second eleven have finished all their fixtures and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: have ended up in second place with promotion. Samdbridge, who
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: are in third, have also finished, so it looks like
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: straight End will win the league with one game to go.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is all happening. In Division twelve Shepherd Section,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the Seconds did go out on a high though they
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: beat Chestfield by seventy one runs. In Division nine Shepherd Section, Siltward,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: who are fifth out of ten, lost by just two
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: runs to worth. Siltward then made two hundred and thirty five,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: just two runs short in the very last over, So
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: what tenth finish that must have been to the game
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: their last game. Silta's last game is a way to
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Herne Bay, who have already won the league and can't
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: be caught. So on to our last two teams, well,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Hawkins and Hive. They played each other at Hawkins last Saturday,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: one that I did make a point of going up
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: to see now. Before the game, Hawkins were top of
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the table and needed just nine points to win to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: win the league. Again, They've only just got the one
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: game to go this Saturday. Now the scoring is such
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: that you can get twenty points for a win, but
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: if I have beat them comprehensively, Hawkins can still pick
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: up four points for losing. Then Hive would have to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: hope that they were well beaten the following week in
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: their last game, But the weather gods played a different
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: They had a different idea. I've batted first and made
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: two hundred and two all out Grant Channel, making seventy two.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Hawkins then took to the crease and made twenty six
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: for two before the heavens opened and the game was abandoned.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: So this meant, ironically, after all those points permutations that
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I was working out, both teams received ten points each,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: which was enough for Hawkins to win the league. Now
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the question is would I have have beaten them on
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the day. Well, unfortunately we will never know where they
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: were looking good high They made a good start. But
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: you know the weather always plays a part in cricket,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't it. This Saturday, Hawkins's last game is away at
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Lawrence and Highland Court, and Hive's last game is at
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: home against Canterbury and if they win this at least
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: they will get promotion for coming in second place. Now
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I must just add that I was chatting to scorer
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: John Osborne, who was actually a member of the Hive squad,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: as there was a bit of a mix up over
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the start time. I mean, normally the home team do
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the scoring, but as a seasoned scorer, John had other ideas.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: He had his laptop and it's scoring equipment in his
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: car and he stepped in at the last minute. Now,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I was also chatting to his daughter Emily, who all
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: of a sudden disappeared for a while and then came back.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: And when I looked to look again. She was all
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: kitted up ready to bat. She was standing in as
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: high that there's some last minute players who couldn't make it,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and I must have been. After chatting to her unless
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: she approached the wicket, I found myself getting really nervous
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: for her, the only lady in the whole squad out
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: of the two teams. Really But anyway, so I said
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to her dad, aren't you nervous for Emily? Well, he
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: told me that she played in the first team before,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: but he always worried the most that she would be
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: clean bolted on the first ball, which didn't happen anyway.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Emily stayed in for a couple of overs but was
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: caught behind by former guests of the show wicket keeper
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Terry Dunham, when a ball just snicked off a bat.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: But I thought she was a very brave young lady. Well,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that's the cricket done and dusted for today. I'll be
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: reporting back next Thursday on how all these teams fared
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: on the very last day of the season. And I've
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: just checked the weather forecast and you know what, it
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: looks quite nice. So with a bit of a luck,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: all the games will be played, all the loose ends
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: will be tied up and we'll let you know what
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: goes on next week. Right now, and in the meantime,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: let's have a little bit of Robbie and let me
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: entertain you. Robbie Williams nineteen ninety eight, let me entertain you. Okay,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: So we turn our attentions to a local football now,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: folks and in Victor earned themselves two thy two hundred
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and fifty pound by beating seven Oaks three nil in
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the first round qualifying of the FA Cup at Ashford's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Homelands ground, and in the next round they have a
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: tough home game against Maidstone United, but quite where the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: venue will be is undecided. As we all know now, folks,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: in Victor is undergoing a change from grass to three
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: G and so the pitch isn't ready. We've been playing
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: technically our home games at Margate, but I haven't seen
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: all the fixtures. But I mean if Margate have been
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: drawn at home that day or Ashford drawn at home
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: that day, then I don't know what's going to happen,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: So we just have to wait and see that one. Meanwhile,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: it's back to a league action as in Victor welcome
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Whitehawk to Margate's Hotsdown Park, our home ground for that week.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: On Saturday the sixth Fivetown still in a sort of
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: a bad streak of form after a good start. Last
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: week they lost a one nil to Faversham Strike Force
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and this was played at Whitstable Town's ground. And on
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Saturday it's home to Fisher Then Tuesday it's home again,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: this time to Larkefield and New Hive. It's a chance,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: there's two games very close together. It's a chance to
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: pick up some points. Serve really. But thanks to the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: good start to the season, they are currently ninth out
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: of nineteen in the NLG Kent County League Premier Division.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: New Romney traveled to Maidstone United's Galahas Stadium and the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: beat Cuxton two to one there Cuxton a sharing. That's
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a great ground share, isn't it? At the Gallahut This
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Saturday they're at home to a long Lane FC. And
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: last week I was watching Hawkins play cricket against Hive.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: But next door, and I mean literally next door, is
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Hawkins Town's football ground, so I nipped over there and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: watched most of the second half of their game against
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Tandon Town, which by this time. I was just getting
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit niggerli towards the end, but Hawkins beat
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: them six' to. Two this Week, hawkings you're a home.

• 20:06
  Speaker 1: members run The Don Thompson mile on a blustery evening
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: along The Hive. Promenade now who Is Don, thompson you may. Ask,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Well first of, all let me point out that on
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: the Low High promenade wall there are two plaques exactly
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: one mile, apart which read in memory Of Great britain's
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: only gold medalist at the nineteen Sixty Rome Olympic games
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: in the fifty k. Walk Don thompson lived in High
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: he was a teacher At Southland school In New romney
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: and in his latter years a member of The Folkston
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Athletic club as it was. Then he started out as a,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: runner but after an, injury turned his hand to. Racewalking
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: his claim to fame is winning the gold medal in
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the nineteen Sixty. Olympics his training methods became stuff of
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: journalistic legends his attempt at fifty k in the nineteen
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: fifty Six olympics In. Australia he failed there when he
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: withdrew due to. Dehydration so he, thought, Right i'm going
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: to have to try something, Different so at home in,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: hive he switched an Electric he switched on an electric
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: fire and run a bath to try and recreate the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: warm atmosphere expected In. Italy but it wasn't, enough so
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: he added a paraffin heater with a boiling kettle on
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: top of it to create more hot. Steam and he
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: left it for a while and then returned to the,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: room which was like a, hot steamy. Sauna, perfect he,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Thought so he did around thirty minutes of, exercise which
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: made him feel rather, faint and he was just thinking
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: it was the heat and the, humidity but it was
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: in fact carbon monoxide fumes from the paraffin, heater which
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: are potentially LOW i, threatening the same as exhaust. Fumes,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: now if you ever see a story about To Don
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: thompson in, print this will most certainly be the one
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: you're going to. Read, now The italian crowd loved, him
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: and because he was just five' five they nicknamed Him,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: ill topolino which these roughly translated me as the. Little,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: mouse now his mum she made him a hat with
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: material cover in the covering the back of, his neck
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: similar to the ones worn By The French. Foreign, legion
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: now When the olympics came round and used, to, say,
• 22:10
