0:15
This is Kevin Daley on the Sports show for Folks to a Hive, and
0:20
this is the third hour of the show today. First two hours were taken
0:25
up back to back with marathon stories, so we got some local sports to
0:30
catch up on. Now. I couldn't get here last week, unfortunately,
0:41
I wasn't very well, so we got a few roundups end of season roundups
0:45
to do. So we will be talking football, rugby, hockey, basketball
0:59
and wheelchair basketball, and a few dates for your diary from the Folks and
1:04
Rowing Club we've got an open day coming up, and the Folks and Indoor
1:08
Bowls Club who've also got an open day coming up. And we've got a
1:15
date for your diary for the High Bay Triathlon. So in the meantime list
1:34
at this hour of the show on the Road with Calvin Harris and Acceptable in
1:40
the eighties local music, there skies and a song called Green. Now.
2:00
Well, I couldn't make it last week because I wasn't too well. I
2:04
don't seem too bad now, a bit croaky, but the show must go
2:07
on. So I've got a few catch ups from the last couple of weeks,
2:12
and we're going to start with football. Folks in a victor in recent
2:15
weeks where they beat Horsham three to one, who are actually chasing a playoff
2:19
place. They lost two nil to Chatham who are second in the league,
2:23
and or Tuesday evening could only draw one all with already relegated Concord Rangers after
2:28
going one kneel down. Now there's only two fixtures left. Saturday, it's
2:31
a home tie against Dulige Hamlet or a ninth Then the last game of the
2:36
season is Bogner away. Bogner are currently thirteenth in the table, so nothing
2:40
to play for, but it may give all these managers a chance to give
2:46
a budding youngsters a game in the preparations for next season. Hi've Town,
2:52
well, I've Town. I don't know. They were just kind of having
2:54
a really bad second half of the season, aren't they, because of their
2:58
cup run, the wonderful games in the trophy that I don't know, they've
3:04
they kind of slipped up a little bit and it's causing them a lot of
3:07
grief now. But there's only a few go games to go for the season.
3:12
So what we're going to do now, We're going to have a little
3:14
listen to Tom Illerby because he's our men on the spot down at Rechefields and
3:19
he's going to give us a round up of the last couple of games.
3:23
On Saturday afternoon, Hyde lost their eighth game in a row, going one
3:27
nil down against Phoenix Sports. With his squad wearing thinges injuries. Into a
3:30
manager, Alex Fisher made three changes from their hammering away to three Bridges as
3:36
Josh Sturman, Josh Whissen and Aaron Barnes will placed Sam and Tuma, Ky
3:39
Garrand and Josh Vincent who were all unavailable. It was a Visitors who broke
3:45
the deadlock in the thirteenth minute as a loose ball in the penalty area was
3:47
tucked into their net by Ryan Hayes past former Phoenix Sports goalkeeper Steve Phillips.
3:53
In the second half, inches away from equalizing on fifty four minutes through an
3:57
Oscar Web free kick from twenty five yard which he placed onto the head of
4:00
Josh Whisson, who nodded the ball narrowly wide of the post. The last
4:04
ten minutes of the match were played almost exclusively in the Visitor's own half as
4:09
they struggled to clear the ball away, unable to do anything with it.
4:13
The full time whistle blewed to mark another defeat for Hythe, but an important
4:16
victory for the visitor's Phoenix Sports, who are now guaranteed the place in next
4:20
season's Isthmian League's Southeast Division. On Tuesday evening, the Cannon has put up
4:26
a valiant effort with dwindling numbers of available players as they went down one nill
4:30
at home to Sitting Bourn at Reachfields. On his final match as caretaker manager
4:34
before new manager Sammy Moore takes over. Alex Flischer made two changes in Saturday's
4:40
one nil defeat against Phoenix Sports as he injured. Brad Schaefer and Steve Phillips
4:44
were replaced by Troy Howard and Sam Flischer, who, despite being all right
4:47
back by trade, came in as a goalkeeper. On thirty one minutes.
4:51
Hythe had to deal with another setback after Josh Sturman was given a straight red
4:56
card for the referee following a comment made on the pitch. Despite Hyde's bold
5:00
attempt at keep being a clean sheet, it wasn't meant to be and in
5:03
the forty first minute a shot towards goal was saved by Sam Fleischer, but
5:06
Chris Harris managed to get his head on it. On the rebound, despite
5:11
Fisher getting a hand to it, the ball crept in to give the visitor
5:14
as a lead going into halftime. In the second half, the fans continued
5:17
to see a very balanced match between the two sides. The first chance came
5:21
on sixty five minutes as Jake Eenbury received the ball for Hive and opted to
5:26
shoot from twenty five yards out. His shot went just over the crossbar.
5:30
The second half went on without either Sideman that Jingsa register a chance, but
5:33
on ninety minutes Kean Garlinge was shown a second yellow card, meaning Hyper down
5:39
to nine men. It must be said that defender Sam Fleisher putting a great
5:43
display between the six for hythe making a number of important saves, but the
5:46
result does mean that Hith have've lost nine matches in a row. The fight
5:50
shown from the Highe players was admirable though, as they failed to go down
5:54
without a fight. With this being Alex Flischer's final Gamers caretaker manager, there
5:59
should be some optimism around the club as we await Sammy Moore's first match as
6:02
manager away to Broadbridge Heath on Saturday, with the match kicking off at three
6:06
PM, so as Tom says there. The next game is away on Saturday
6:11
at Broadbridge Heath, then two more games to end the season. Tuesday,
6:15
the twenty third, they faced potential champions Cray Valley as they push for the
6:18
top spot, having the luxury of a game in hand over Ramsgate, and
6:23
their final game will be at home to Lancing, who are currently in sixth
6:26
place. It looks like after a long tough season with a bad run in
6:30
this half but a really good run in the first half, it looks like
6:32
they're going to end up in mid table. Hawkins Town now Last Saturday,
6:38
Hawkingstown beat Ashford seven ZIHL and now have to wait until the six to May
6:42
for their last game away to Tenterdon Town. Unfortunately, even if they win
6:46
this match, they can't get near champions Hawks AFC, who've already finished their
6:51
season finishing with sixty six points to Hawkins's sixty two. A win at ten
6:57
to them would only give them sixty five, so Hawkins have to settle for
7:01
runners up. This year, they all seem to have been playing a catch
7:03
up. Hauls have just been that one point in a game in hand all
7:08
season and they must be ruined the drawn games that they played earlier on in
7:15
the season. So now we're going to switch to folks in the Victor disability
7:19
team. And once again this was a tournament a couple of weeks ago where
7:24
they had a goal shy day, not scoring one goal in nine games.
7:28
However, at least two opposition managers said that Garret Wilson's team deserved to win.
7:33
The premiership side drew neil neil four times against Sorry. The Premiership side
7:39
drew neil nil four times against Chatham, Maidstone, kings Hill and Southeast Goals.
7:45
The championship side had three neil nil games against Ankorian's, Charlton and Maidstone
7:50
Silver, but then lost one niil to Southeast Goals and three nil two Maidstone
7:56
Copper In. Victor were short of players due to injuries and lay withdrawals and
8:01
fitness played a part. However, some very good team performances were made.
8:05
Man of the Match in the Premiership was shared between Ron Jack and Jared Prescott,
8:09
and in the Championship Man of the Match could have been shared between James
8:13
Island and Geran Wilson himself, who made five good saves in goal, but
8:18
it was decided to award it to Graham Dre for his support on the line
8:22
as a sub and what a lovely gesture that was. That's really good and
8:26
that is typical of the folksing of It's a disability team really looking out on
8:31
caring for each other. Now, the next tournament is Fabusham and that's going
8:37
to be on the twelfth of May, so that's something for the lads to
8:39
look forward to. Okay, coming up now, we've got Delementry and always
8:43
the last to know. Five minutes there of Bond always what a great supergroup
9:05
they were. Okay, so we're cracking on with the sport with excuse me,
9:11
I just hit the microphone by mistake. We're cracking on with the local
9:15
sport now and they've got some hockey news which should have gone out a couple
9:18
of weeks ago. But it's the end of the season for them already.
9:22
I mean, where has that gone? It just seems like not so long
9:26
ago we were starting off. Anyway, the final games of the season took
9:31
place, and here are the stats or one particular game, the men's seconds
9:37
was a walk over, which normally means that the opposing team can't put a
9:39
side out, so it was instead of twelve. It was played eleven.
9:45
They won five, lost, four, drawn two. They scored goals four
9:50
was twenty eight and they let in goals against eighteen. Now, the men's
9:54
first eleven lost three to two to South Saxons. The Seconds, as we
9:58
just said, was a walk over victory, but that didn't stop the celebrations
10:03
in their league winning in their league winning season, so word unto the Seconds
10:07
there for winning their league. The third also finished top of their table as
10:11
they beat Cliftonville two to one. Goals from Freddie Brown and Kyle Mackett.
10:18
Three goals from Archie Richardson and one from Joe Thrasher gave the fourth team a
10:22
four nil win over Canterbury, putting them in second place in their division.
10:26
The men's fifteen beat Tunbridge World's four to three, The sixteen beat Gravesham's six
10:31
to two. Derel Gilham Jones and Tim Wesley scored one apiece and two of
10:35
the under fourteen boys both shared two goals each, Harry Rowe and Theo Coombs,
10:41
as they finished runners up in their division, and the men's seventh team
10:46
lost one nail two k Sports, ending their season with the top six finish.
10:50
The Ladies First eleven drew to aur with Brighton and Hove finishing in fourth
10:54
place in an extremely competitive league. The Seconds lost three nils Blackheath and the
11:01
third team drew one all with Deal the solitary goal coming from Sophie Atwill.
11:07
The fourth team lost four to two to Madstone, but the fifth team,
11:09
having already gained promotion, finished on a high note by beating Gillingham and Korean's
11:15
five nil thanks to goals one from Emmy Gainsford, with Janet Fuller and Beckershaw
11:20
they got two each. Well that's it for another season and I know one
11:26
person that would be put her feet up for a while, and that's the
11:28
media guru Amy. Now, Amy, she's a great communicator as she manages
11:35
to compile and chase up and report where possible on all twelve teams and get
11:41
their results to my inbox by Monday at the latest. So thank you Amy
11:45
for making my job really easy. Now. This season has seen me following
11:48
the progress of two teams, in particular the newly formed Ladies fifteen, which
11:54
is a mixture of players returning to the game after many years away and Youngster's
11:58
new to hockey for what combination and it worked as they won the league.
12:03
The other team I've been following is Adrian Rose Boys under fourteenth team who have
12:07
fought their way to a national final against a team called Wallingford who come from
12:11
South of Oxford. Their final was to be played at the Nottingham Hockey Center,
12:16
which is the premier hockey venue in the Midlands. This game will be
12:18
played on Sunday, the twenty eighth of April. However, we mustn't forget
12:24
the men's seconds and thirds both won their leagues. The sixth team development side
12:28
finished second. This team given several of Adrian's under fourteen's experiencing playing adul hockey,
12:35
which will serve them well in their final, and the men's seventh team
12:37
had a top six finish. The Ladies first team in the tough Southeast Premier
12:43
Division finished a creditable fourth and of course the Ladies fifteen won the league.
12:48
Now special mention must go to this amazing man, Brian Murrell. Now Brian
12:54
represented England during the week and listen to this. The over eighties e England
13:00
hockey team is such an underwhelming character, is so modest and try and get
13:09
him on the show. There's no chance. During the week they played a
13:13
Holland team, a Dutch team. Unfortunately they lost to nil. But it
13:16
turns out that Brian had a really good game. So we're down to you,
13:20
Brian, And what shining example is to all of us. Still playing
13:24
his ball he loves at over eighty. So a great season all round for
13:28
the club which has gone from strength to strength in recent years, and of
13:33
a feeling that the end of season presentation is going to be a bit of
13:35
a messy business. Now, I want to say hello and I wish my
13:43
partner Sue a happy birthday. Now. Her birthday is actually on Saturday,
13:48
on the twentieth, and she and some of her friends are going to do
13:52
a special park run and they're going to gather around and help her along the
13:56
park run as they do a bit of walk running, and they don't care
14:00
what time they go, uh, as long as they have a good time.
14:03
Now, one particular song that she really really wants and she really really
14:07
loves, and we were talking about this the other day. Sue was born
14:09
and bred in Folkston. She's got hundreds and hundreds of friends in Folks and
14:15
I can't go anywhere with her without bumping into somewhere that she knows. So
14:20
this special song, and it really does suit her down to the ground,
14:22
is by Dean Warrick and is called That's what Friends Are for Dione Warrick there
14:48
and did you recognize a couple of other voices in there? Certain Leil and
14:52
John was in there, and I think a little touch of Stevie Wonder might
14:54
have been in there. So that was for Sue. It's her birthday of
15:00
on Saturday. It's got a naught on the end, but I'll be in
15:03
big trouble if I tell you what the first figure was. So anyway,
15:07
have a great, great birthday on Saturday, sou And just for a birthday
15:11
present, I'll take you up to London to watch the London Marathon. Now,
15:15
well I know how to treat a lady, Okay. Now, a
15:18
couple of weeks ago we had Martin Chander on the show and he went up
15:22
to London to run the London Landmarks half Marathon and he sent me in this
15:26
little report and I did promise that i'd read it out last week, but
15:30
unfortunately there was no show. So I've got to fulfill my promise and I'm
15:33
going to read it out today. So Martin told me that this day started
15:37
at eight forty on a bus from Folkeston, when the train from Ashford to
15:41
St Pancras and then underground to the start line. If you remember that the
15:46
trains from Folkston to Ashford were a bit dodgy, then they had to do
15:52
some rail replacement or something. Now Martin says the atmosphere was incredible, from
15:56
walking to the line, waiting in the waves to start, and all around
15:58
the course. Now the course is a great course, but when people say
16:03
London is flat, don't believe them. They were at least five hills.
16:07
The weather in the first nine miles was perfect for running until the Tower of
16:11
London and then fifty mile an hour along the Embankment Wins to Big Ben,
16:15
which didn't help his time one little bit, but it was great to get
16:18
over the lineo and achieve a pbe of two hours, twenty six minutes and
16:22
thirty eight seconds, knocking a massive eight minutes of his time for the big
16:26
half. Massive thanks goes to his wife Tania and the kids, and also
16:33
his dad Graham and partner of Lorraine for making the journey up to London and
16:36
supporting him at four places around the course. Also to the charity Cheer Points,
16:41
who made the most noise when I run past them, giving me that
16:44
extra boost. So Martin was so happy to have completed the landmark's half and
16:49
it raised eight hundred pounds for Evelena's Children's Hospital, which is going to help
16:53
towards the cost of the British Transplant Games in Nottingham this year. Next year
17:00
Martin was booked in to run it again and he will be joined by his
17:03
son Cameron, who will be there. He'll be twenty three years old next
17:07
year. And this is where the story all started as Cam was given a
17:11
new kidney donated by his mum and it all happened at Evelena Children's Hospital,
17:18
something that the Chandler family have never forgot. You're version to men from the
17:33
year two thousand and that was a song called Lady Hear Me's an ad from
17:37
a group called Mojo. Now it's time for some news from the Saints basketball
17:44
and remember this was a couple of weeks ago, but it sounds like the
17:48
club had an exciting weekend as they welcomed the Wales Under fourteen national team to
17:52
the Three Hills in a mixture of games. On Saturday, the Saints under
17:56
fourteens beat the Saints under fifteensen seventy five points to fifty four. The weekend
18:03
consisted of like some games against the Welsh and some exhibition games between inter club
18:08
games. Then the Saints under fourteen's lost to a Wales Red team by seventy
18:15
four points to sixty one, and lastly the Saints under fifteen team lost seventy
18:21
two points to sixty five against the Wales White team. Sunday saw the Saints
18:26
under fourteen beat the Wales White team seventy three sixty two after they had controlled
18:32
the game from start to finish. Then the final game of the weekend,
18:34
which sounded the most exciting, saw the Wales Red team play an under fifteen
18:40
Saints team made up of a mixture of boys and girls. The final score
18:44
was fifty seven points to fifty five in favor of the Welsh, but this
18:48
game went right to the wire, the last scoring basket come in just four
18:52
seconds before the end of the game. So the weekend has shown just how
18:56
far basketball has come in this town thanks to the usiasm of the players and
19:00
coaches under the guidance of Mark Hinton and Stuart Hunt and everybody involved in the
19:06
club. The connection was made as the Saints have an under fourteen year old
19:11
who actually plays for the Wales and these games were played to assist Wales in
19:15
their preparation for the forthcoming Four Nations competition. So we can now see just
19:21
how highly respected the Folks and Saints are in the world of basketball. So
19:26
switching our attention to wheelchair basketball now. Last Saturday, the Folkston Arrows made
19:30
the long trip to Cardiff to play the Cardiff met Archers in their final game
19:34
of the season, but the result didn't go their way as they lost sixty
19:38
two points to fifteen. However, they are currently in second spot, but
19:42
the season is not quite over yet as some of the teams surrounding them still
19:47
have games to play. Now, when the season is completed, I will
19:49
give you a final rundown of the positions. Although I must say it's been
19:53
a pleasure for a pleasure following the Arrows each week and hopefully making the people
19:59
aware that we do have a wheelchair basketball team in our town and that perhaps
20:03
they might like to go along one Saturday and watch a game or even become
20:07
involved behind the scenes. So why not go to the Folkston Arrows Wheelchair Basketball
20:12
Club Facebook page and have a little look. Okay, so we're going to
20:17
switch out to ourselves to a bit more music now, and it's Samantha number
20:21
and Gotta tell You Academy FM Folcus. Yeah, ye, Samantha member.
20:48
They are from the year two thousand, a song called gotta tell You.
20:51
I've known that for a long time, you know, and I must admit
20:52
I was kind of singing along and I nearly you might have noticed this.
20:57
I was going to say, hit me be beer one more time. Sounded
21:00
just like Britney Spears than there to Still anyway, moving on, so it's
21:04
time for some rugby news now. Now. Two weeks ago on Saturday saw
21:10
the Folks the first fifteen's, the last game of the season, and what
21:12
a crackery was too, especially for the Morton family. Former guest of the
21:18
show and long servant of the club. John Morton stepped out onto the pitch
21:21
along his side his son Ryan, and they both ended up on the scoresheet
21:26
in this thirty points to twenty seventh victory. Ryan scored from a try and
21:30
a conversion and Dad John scored the winning points from a penalty kick in the
21:34
last minute of the game. All this topped up as it was the club's
21:38
fiftieth anniversary year. Now, after a disappointing second half of the season,
21:44
the team finished in fourth place, but if they stayed together for next season,
21:48
promotion could be a possibility. The second fifteen had a mediocre season,
21:52
finishing six out of ten and the Thirds, who are currently ninth out of
21:56
ten teams, still have two matches to play. Now rugby doesn't seem to
22:00
stop at the Burlington Fields, and I'll be on the lookout for summer tournaments,
22:04
especially for the youth's sections. There's normally loads of youth festivals and things
22:10
going on up there. Now. Before I finished this rugby report, a
22:14
bit more news about John Morton. Last year John run the London Marathon for
22:18
the rugby charity wood and Spoon, which raises money for vulnerable children and young
22:23
people through the power of rugby. For this John was invited to play for
22:27
a Wooden Spoon fifteen against the team from listen to this against the team a
22:33
team from the House of Commons and the House of Lords, a bet they
22:36
had loads to talk about and this was held at the most famous rugby venue
22:40
in the world. Yes, Twickenham, the home of rugby. They lost
22:44
the game by just two points, but got the full experience of the day,
22:48
playing on the hallowed pitch, using the main international changing rooms and dinner
22:52
in the player's lounge. What an experience and well deserved to a loyal servant
22:57
of the Folks and Rugby Club. Well done to you, John Morton.
23:02
Okay, time for a bit more music, as we are nearly coming to
23:04
the end of this third hour of the Sports show. Today. This is
23:07
Rudy Mental and these days I know you're moved on to someone beautiful, jesays
23:19
Rudy mentor there and these days Okay, So, as I said, this
23:23
coming to the end of the third hour of the Sports Show, and I
23:26
thought I'd do a three hour sports show. But today was a really,
23:30
really special day because it was all about the London Marathon and four fantastic local
23:34
people that will be on the start line the Blackheath on Sunday. So the
23:38
last little bit then few snippets here. Folks and Rowing Club have an open
23:41
weekend this weekends twenty first twenty of twenty first of April. If you've ever
23:47
fancied having a go at rowing, then please visit the Facebook page and follow
23:52

23:59
In Rowing Club open weekend this weekend, and there's also an open day at
24:03

24:07
really worth a look. If you've never been in there, driven past it
24:11

Ferry had a go last year and we thoroughly enjoyed it. And finally on
24:18

24:30
telling us all about it. So I can't say any more than good luck
24:36

24:41

24:45
