  Speaker 1: master for Amy Axon. I was the MC on the

  Speaker 1: mic at the Clifftop Challenge. Then on Sunday I was
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: on the mic at a race in mid Kent, lovely
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: rural Kent, Hawkhurst five ten k. Are we telling you
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a bit about that? And we've got some news on

• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And we've had Eastbourne and next up it's Wimbledon. Wimbledon
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: starts on Monday. Are we telling you a bit about that? Now?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: It's Glastonbury time, and believe it or not, all the
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: pictures I've seen of Glastonbury. It does look dry. I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: mean I've never been there. Have you Have you had
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a soaking? Have you left your tent behind? Well, Glastonbury
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: is just amazing festival. As I say, I've never been there,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: but it just looks outstanding and this year, because it's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: dry and not wet, it looks even better. So we're
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: going to start the show by playing a song that
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: will be heard I am sure at Glastonbury. And this
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: is by the Searchers. Now the Searchers are right. They
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: only our older listeners will remember the Searchers, but it's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: going back to nineteen sixty three because it's the Searchers
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: farewell tour and it just so reminds me of my youth.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: So sit back and enjoy it. Sweet for my sweet sweets, Sweet.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Your person, We kiss the well sweet.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: As the Searchers there, they're doing their well tour at
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Glastonbury this weekend. You know, we've we've said it before
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in the past on this show that you hear a
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: song and it instantly takes you back to a place
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in time. Well, that one took me back to my
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: youth when that was the first time I've really heard
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that song. Was at a fair ground. It was dark,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the lights were shining and sparkling, the bumper cars were
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: going round and around, and the music was blasting out.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And it's just I was there. I was driving that
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: bumper car just now. Right, Well, this is the sports show.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So what we're going to do. We're going to start
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: with some cricket. Now, folks, folks on first eleven, they
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: traveled away this is last week, traveled away to Broadstairs,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Broadstairs Wonder Toss and decided to bat, making one hundred
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and forty two all out. Folks on there made one
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty six four eight, winning the game by
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: two wickets. Now, these two back to back winds have
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: pushed them up the table from ninth to fifth place.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And today see they welcome the third place, which the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: ball to the three hills, and can they push up
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: even further? That is going to be a tough game
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: now if they're getting in the top half of the table. Now,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: what I did notice looking at the scores, there's a
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: great website, PlayCricket dot com, and I get all my
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: information from there, and sometimes I read between the lines.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: So who's scored the most runs? But what I never
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: really paid much attention to before is I look at
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the score and just take it for granted. But there's
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of extras scored in a game of cricket.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So I decided to study the extras, just how many
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: teams concede in a game. So after the end of
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: each report on each club, I'm just going to give
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: you a little roundup of how many extras were scored
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and what difference it might make to the final score.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So anyway, in that game, the extras conceded by Folkston
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: weren't too bad. They conceded two leg byers and one wide.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: That's just three, and broad stairs they conceded twelve. There
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: was four buyers, seven wides and one no ball. Now,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: extras can be made up of four things. There's a
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: buy where the ball just goes whizzing pass, doesn't touch anybody.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Might wicket keeper might miss it, there might not be
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: anybody beyond the wicket keeper, and it hits the boundary
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: four runs the leg buyers. When the ball hits any
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: part of the body doesn't have to be on the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: leg side, any part of the body and goes flying
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: off somewhere might be just might get a couple of
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: runs well wide, Well that's self explanatory really down to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the bowl of that one. If the ref if the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: umpire gives the arms outstretched wide, that's it another run gone.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And of course there's the no ball, which is where
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the foot and the line. The umpires keeping an eye
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: on exactly where that goes. So but it's amazing. And
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: how many runs do you think was conceded the most
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: in these in these local games. It's just have a
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: little think about it and I'll let it tell you
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: very shortly. Now moving on to Hawkins where Hawkins lost
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the toss at home to Willsborough. So Willsbro batted first,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: making an impressive two hundred and six for seven in
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: their forty overs. Hawkins, however, rose to the challenge made
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: two hundred and ten for just three wickets. Ashu toss
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: dezmuk He scored one hundred and fifteen not out, so
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: they won the game by seven wickets, keeping them top
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of Division eight in the Shepherd section. Today's game will
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: be well worth going to watch as is a local
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: derby against Hive and it's not only a local derby
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: but high the second so it should be a close encounter.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: In this game, Willsboro conceded just eight extras, one leg
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: by seven wides, bowlers come on bowler straight line, and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Hawkins they gave away sixteen extras, seven buyers, four leg
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: buyers and five wides. Now, last week, Hive traveled to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Deal Victoria and Barnes close. They won the toss, elected
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to bat and made one hundred and eighty two for six.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Highest scorer was Grant Channon who made seventy nine not out.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: The Deal team were then bowled out for one hundred
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and fifty four, so I've won the game by twenty
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: eight runs. During the game, the Deal team gave away
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: twenty four extras that was five buyers, five leg buys,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: twelve wides and two no balls, and Hive gave away
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: twenty three four buyers, twelve leg buys, three wides and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: four no balls. And as we said this week, it's
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: top of the table clash at the Grove as Hawkins
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: are the visitors and they start at one o'clock. Hive
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Green were at home to Herne Bay. The Bay won
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the toss and decided to bat, making two hundred and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: thirty for eight. The Green could only manage one hundred
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and eighty one for seven, so lost the game by
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: forty nine runs. The day, hive Green are away to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: North Down, which means a trip to Margate and in
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that game Iive Green gave away twenty seven extras and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Herne Bay conceded twenty nine. Saltward traveled away to play
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Whitstablell thirty eleven. Siltwood won the toss, decided to bat
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and made one hundred and ninety two all out. High
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: scorer was the captain Jack good In with sixty three
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: runs Whichtaball were then bowled out for one hundred and
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: fifty three, so sualt Wol won the game by thirty
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: nine runs. Still would I once to get away as
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: they traveled to Worth Cricket Club, Worth is Well, just
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: outside Deal. Actually the extras conceded in this game was
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: seventeen by Whitstaball and just ten by Saltwood. And finally
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Sipton Park were at home to kings Hill, who won
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the toss and decided to bat, making one hundred and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: sixteen all out. The SIPs then made one hundred and
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: nineteen for two, winning the game by eight wickets. As
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Sipton Park today once again at home, this time against
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Tunbridge and this match Siptom Bowlers gave a way thirteen extras.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: There wasn't all down to the bowlers to be fair.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: There was one buyer, two leg buyers and ten wides.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Was kingzey Hill conceded twenty one extras at five buyers,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: one leg buyer, twelve wides and three no balls. So extras,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I mean that's amazing that. I think that. Looking back,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the highest amount of extra that a team conceded was
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Herne Bay and there's twenty nine nearly thirty runs on
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: top of the opponent's total, so that could well make
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: a difference in the final score. Well, this weekend the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: weather look looks fine. It's rain free, sunny intervals, so
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: we should get a full set of under uninterrupted games
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to play. Now I've been contacting most of the local
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: cricket clubs. I will try and get round to all
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of them. We've had High Cricket Club in. We've got
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: promises of Sipton Park coming in and hive Green Cricket
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Club coming in and we see what developed there and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I will be contacting the others. Oh yeah, Hawkins they
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: want to come in and so I'm trying to work
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: my way through all of our local teams so we
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: can get somebody in from each club before the season's over. Okay,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: moving on now, time for some music. Now this is
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: from Razor Lights in the Morning and from the year
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: two thousand and six. Razor Lights two thousand and six.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: You know you won't remember.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: In the morning. You won't remember a thing. Anybody been there,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I'll bet we all have. Anyway, we're going to go
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: straight onto another song now. I know this one is
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a little question for you. Who sung the original one
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: of this song? This is the Pet Shop Boys and
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Go West? This is a cover version. Who sung the original?
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: But that's the Pet Shop Boys version of a song?
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: They recorded that in nineteen ninety three, but it's called
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Go West. So the thing is who recorded the original?
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Do you know? Well? It's a classic group. Actually they
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: only made a few hit songs, but they made a
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: great impact back in nineteen seventy nine, and that of
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: course the Village People and always will be remembered for YMCA,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the one song that just gets everybody up on the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: dance floor. Okay, so well, I'll tell you about my weekend.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Last weekend was one of the busiest I've had for
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: a long long time. It started on Friday evening when
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I was a quiz master for Amy Akson and her
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: husband Henry. Now Amy is running the Chicago Marathon on
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the twelfth of October and aims to raise two thousand
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: pound four against Breast Cancer Charity. This charity against Breast
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Cancer are working to prevent secondary breast cancer by funding
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: unique research into the development of treatments. Now she's currently
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: raised one thousand, seven hundred and ninety pound of the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: target of two thousand, and this was helped by whopping
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: nine hundred pound raised by the quiz on the night.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And as I say, I was a quiz master, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: sometimes a quiz master can be a tough old when
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you've got sixty or seventy people all talking to each
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: other and getting louder and louder. But it was a
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: really fun evening. The questions were set by her husband
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and a judicator, Henry. One or two caused a few issues,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: but they always do a quiz, but it was in
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: good fun for a good cause. Now, as quizzes do,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I had to turn my volume up after the break,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: but they were a really good crowd. And I love
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the way they supported Amy. Let me just say that
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Amy has to fund all her travel expenses herself, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the money raise go straight to the charity. Now, one
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: particular table, Gary Brazier's table, and Darren Crewe and the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: rest of them there from the folks running athletics club
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: were really winding me up. I tell you they were
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: pretending to big death, asking me could you repeat number
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: four please? Ol keV could you number four?
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Please?
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Could you repeat number four? I think they all went
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: deaf on the night, but it was all done in
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: good form. We will say that Gary and Marie run
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: their own little fundraiser for Amy. I think they raised
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: about six hundred pound where they had what they call
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a home run. It means that they all gathered around
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Gary and Marie's house and they run from the home
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: There there was forty odds and Marie was cooking bacon
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: butties and egg sandwiches and making pots of tea all
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: day long with forty people in her kitchen. So where
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: done to Gary and Marie once again for supporting Amy. Now,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: quiz is a hard work. You know, you've got to
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: work out the questions, You've got to get the raffle prizes.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: You might have to go round to local shops and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: big bor and steal. There's loads of paperwork to do,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: but it was an excellent venue. It was held at
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the Three Hills and I'm sure everybody went home having
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: had a great fun evening knowing that they'd raised nine
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: hundred pounds to help Amy's charity against breast cancer. So
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: that was event number one. I'll be telling you about
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: event number two after this song from the Kings of
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Leon m hm around Kings Leon last Use Somebody. You know.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't know this song was called use Somebody. I
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: just thought it was called look Somebody. Now it was
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: written in black and white in front of me and
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I hear it. U sort of misread lyrics. Oh dear
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: right now. Event number two. On my weekend, I was
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: at the cliff Top Challenge. Now the finish is in
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the in Deal by the bandstand. Last year we were
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: dodging the rain all day, which was nice for the runners,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: but this Saturday saw the hottest day of the year,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: which was nice for the spectators but definitely not for
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the runners. Now this event is the brainchild of Chantel
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: and Phil Rashbrook. I've said it before several times, but
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: just to remind you, Chantell is a real hero well
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: heroin really, isn't she. She race for Life many many
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: years ago, raising money for a friend of hers who
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: had breast cancer. She then contacted breast cancer herself was
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a survivor. She contracted secondary breast cancer and she pulled
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: through that. And now she is just so active. And
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: this event has been put on and Saturday saw its
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: eleventh birthday. In the last ten years we've raised all
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the people of Deal and the surrounding areas have weighed
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: a whopping two hundred thousand pounds for breast cancer nowt now.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: The day itself was a buzzy day with a big
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: crowd really enjoying themselves in the sun, but we had
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: to spare a thought for the runners, many of whom
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: suffered in the heat. Nine runners from the Folkstone Club
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: took part. Clive Allen, Nikki Goodwin and Hillary Collins around
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: ten miles, Lisa Smith, Kate Lansfield, Diane Parsons, Simon Coffee
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: and Tony Scott ran fifteen and the brave Jenny Heathfield.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Now Jenny started at two o'clock in her first attempt
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: to run the ultra distance of fifty five miles, but
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the heat of the day plus the organizer's concern for
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Jenny's welfare, meant that the decision was made for Jenny
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to step down. But please bear in mind at this
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: point when she stopped running, she'd run forty miles, so
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: it's still a fantastic achievement. Now. Was speaking to Jenny
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: afterwards at the finish, and she was really upset, really
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: choked up. But I'm sure now in reflection she will
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: know it was the right thing to do, and she
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: didn't give herself the credit she deserved, but she said
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: she's going to give it a go next year. Now.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: There was one particular team that had been supporting this
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: event for many a day, and that's called Team Rembridge.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Lee Rembridge, I believe he lost his wife to breast
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: cancer many years ago and he has slowly put a
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: team together to run this event. And some of the
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: individuals do run some of the further distances, because you
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: can run fifty five, thirty six, twenty six, fifteen, ten
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: or five miles, but most of Team Rembridge just choose
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the five because they range all ages and all standards.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: If you like but what they did. They all got
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: together just about two hundred yards from the finish and
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: then they all came in together and it was such
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: an awesome sight seeing this team for all the kids
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: were charging in, absolutely loving it. The music was turned up,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the people were standing up clapping them, and this team, Rembridge.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I said to Lee after we were we were on
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: on the near the band stand on the slope there
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: having an interview so that all the people could hear him,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and I said to the how many in your team?
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Lee?
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: And he said, well, there should have been one hundred
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and seven in the team, but only one hundred could
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: make it today, So one hundred runners he'd got together.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: So a fantastic word down to you team, Rerienbridge. And
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: so that was the day of the cliff Top Challenge
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and looking forward to already, and hats off go to
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Phil and Chantelle because they're on holiday at the moment,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: having a well deserved break. But as soon as they
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: get back, I know they will be planning for next year.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: And I've just made a little note to myself here
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: actually staying with running. On Sunday, the thirteenth of July,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: it's the Radna Park Junior Park runs first anniversary has
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: been going a whole year now, So if you get
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: a minute, get up there and just have a look
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: at it. If you've never seen it before. It's a
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: great morning. That's nine o'clock every nin every Sunday at
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: nine o'clock at Radna Park. Okay, so time ever, a
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: bit of music and let's have a little bit of a.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Robbie Robbie Williams.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Rocket.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: It's rather abruptly though, one doesn't it right. So the
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: third event for me was on Sunday, and now this
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: was my first visit to Hawkhurst. There was a five
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: k in a ten k. Hawkhurst is sort of up
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: near Goudhurst up that way and the very lovely rural
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: part of Kent. It attracted two hundred and two runners
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: in the ten k plus one hundred and one runners
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: in the five k, along with two well attended children's
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: races and a great warm up by Gabriella of so
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Reader Fitness which most of the runners joined in and
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: had a great time. Now, this race was perhaps perhaps
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit too far away for some of our
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: local athletes, but I did spot two dover road runners,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Carla and Michael Lander. And I must say, Michael, you're
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: improving so much every race and it won't be long
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: before you're catching Carla. And I also called in Anthony
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Anseil from a deal tri club. Most of the runners
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: were kind of from the North Kent clubs, but there's
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: a good turnout and you know, it was the definite
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: village feel about this one, with loads of local sponsors.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: And I found out a little bit about a group
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: called the Friends of Hawkhurst. Now they bring together the
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Hawkers community with events and projects to help make Hawkcurst
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: a great priest to live. And for all their efforts
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: on putting on this race, they must have raised well
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: we're not quite sure at the moment, but it could
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: be as much as three thousand pound for the future projects,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: which is amazing. Now. The other added benefit was the
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Women's Institutes. Yes, they've been around for years and what
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: a great job they do. They were up all week
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: baking cakes for the runners, giving cakes away to three
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: hundred odd runners and volunteers. And even so after they'd
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: handed all them out and the runners were thin and out,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: they still had loads left and came around with big
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: trays of cakes and sausage rolls just giving them away
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: because they had to go so world unto the Women's Institute.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Now I managed to a bit of rapport with the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: local Hawkhurst Walkers to Runners group who were very enthusiastic
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: when it came to cheering in their fellow runners home.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: This was a lovely friendly event thanks to people like
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Rachel fag Is a coach. She's a coach to the
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Walkers to Runner and a very enthusiastic member of the committee.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Congratulations also go to Rachel Wood and a nice work
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: team for all their hard work. And of course we
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: mustn't forget all the marshals and volunteers for their invaluable help.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Now this is typical of what can I say, a
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: rural country race. You've got to do everything professionally and
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: you still got to have there was an adjudicator there,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Eric and so you've still got to tick all the
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: boxes for the professional side of things like Marshall's signage,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: You've got to have first aid cover and things like that.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: But you can make it fun like we did with
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Gabriella and her warm up, the Women's Institute and their
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: cakes and what a great cause just giving money back
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: to the community that was a really wonderful day for me.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I did thoroughly enjoy it and I really hope I
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: can get back there next year. Okay, moving on. Now,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: we've got another little song from coder Line and this
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: is called Ready.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: You tell me that.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: You really but you're just a normal minds.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Scene Colder Line and a song called Ready Radio. Now
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: then footy time. Now did you watch the England versus
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Netherlands Under twenty one semi finals in the European Championships.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Wow?
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: What a pulse haating game that was. Now sometimes I
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: think it's semi finals are more exciting than the finals.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Have both teams really start to push on. England looked
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: to the more dangerous on the night and went ahead
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: with a right foot screamer in the sixty seventh minute
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: from Liverpool's Harvey Elliott. The lead only lasted nine minutes
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: as the Dutch pool went back with Well if you
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: saw it, it was like a fortuitous lucky punk kick
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: from forty yards but it did catch the keeper a
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: beadle off his line. There were just five minutes remaining.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Elliott picked the ball up in the box, jink past
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the Dutch defender and hit the ball this time with
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: his left foot to make the final score two to
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: one and onto the final tonight against old rivals Germany,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: who defeated France three nil in the other semi final.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Now the match can be seen live on Channel four,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: kickoffs at eight o'clock UK time. So any England versus
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Germany football final at any level conjures up memories from
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: sixty six onwards and any other recent encounters over the year.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Every time England played Germany, they go straight back to
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the sixty six World Cup and it starts from there.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: And well, unfortunately Germany narrowly beat England to one earlier
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: on in the competition. But if what I remember of
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: that game, England were on top. They just couldn't get
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the ball in the net. So but they still must
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: be full of confidence, you know, and raring to go.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: And it's just one thing I really hope England versus Germany.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I just hope there's a result. I hope it doesn't
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: go to penalties. That's every England fans' worst nightmare, isn't
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: it penalties against Dumany. Well, this competition has played every
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: two years, and let me remind you that England won
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: it back in twenty twenty three, so can they make
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: it back to back victories? Well, tonight, get your England
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: shirt on and your scarf, find a telly, switch it
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: on at eight pm and watch it and cheer the
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: lads on. Now, this song only gets played every now
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: and then at football tournaments, and I think it's just
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: just got to sum up tonight, let's hope that the
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: lads can do it, whether the juniors, under eighteens, under
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: twenty one's ladies. It is England three Lions, So what
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: better tune to play than the Deal and Skinner three Lions.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: There's a bit of a slow intro on this one.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: It is on the roar of the crowd.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Here they come to. Teams are coming out, here they are,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: they've kicked off.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Here we go.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm, myles, Well, don't forget eight o'clock tonight, get
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: in front of that telly, gets your English shirt on.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Who knows there's no penalties? Okay, Well, moving on, it's
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: tennis time. The tennis finished last week at the Queen's Club,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Eastbourne with Alcarez. When the men's singles final. When Eastbourne ends,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: it can only mean one thing. At Wimbledom begins. Now
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: play begins at eleven o'clock on Monday the thirtieth, when
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: al Kaiz will traditionally start the tournament as defending champion
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: against the volatile Fabio fog Fabio Fognini from Italy. Now,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: the women's singles defending champion, Barbara Kretchikova plays her first
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: game on Tuesday against Alexander Ila of the Philippines. So
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: then we nearly have two weeks of until the finals,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: with the ladies final on Saturday the twelfth and the
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: men's final on the Sunday, the thirteenth, both starting at
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: four o'clock. Now one to watch and follow is London
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: born English player jack Draper, who seems to be hitting
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: form at the right time. Jackie is seeded fourth in
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: the rankings, which ensures he avoids number one seed Yanick
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Skinner and Carlos Alcarez until the semi finals should he
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: progress that far. That is the thing. Wimbledon always turns
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: up at least one surprise, doesn't it. Now Draper has
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: binge way against Argentinian Sebastian Bayers.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Well, Wimbledon means that all the local courts will be
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: busy as people get tennis fever. The parks are filled up,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: budd in tennis players come out from all around the
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: country and it just affects the whole nation, doesn't it.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: So if you love your tennis, you've got two weeks
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: of it starting on Monday. All right, I've got this
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: song now. It's another sort of Glastonbury type song. I
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: think it's tomorrow. Rod Stewart is on the Legends stage,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: and I mean he's eighteen now. He's not the same
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: man as he used to be. As we when we
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: get older, you know what I mean, the voices go.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: It's happened to quite a few of them, to be fair,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Paul McCartney, Elton John Dinah Ross. I think the only
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: one that's really got a good, strong vol perhaps two
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: is Tom Jones as far as I know. Last time
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: I heard him singing live, he sounded pretty strong. But
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I went to see A Man for a Man back
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: of the Leecliffe Hall last year. Paul Jones was the
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: singer and his voice he was live. His voice sounded
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: just like it did in the sixties. Anyway, this is
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: a bit another bit of Glastonbury. To have a little
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: listen to Rod Stewart's on the main stage Legend stage tomorrow.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: But for the moment, we're going to turn the clock
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: back and go back to nineteen seventy two and one
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: of his all time classics.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: You wear it well, what's Stewart there in.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Nineteen seventy two. He's on the Legend stage at Glastonbury tomorrow. Okay,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: not long Now's that's it from me today. I'll be
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: back on Thursday, where my special guest is Paulcartney, who
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: is chair Paul Carney, No, not Paul McCartney, Paul Karney,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: who's chairman of the Sports Trust, and he will be
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: amongst others telling us about what's going on at the
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Folks and Sports Center. As for me, no races to
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: compare the weekend. It's my birthday tomorrow, so I am
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: off to London and I'll tell you about that on Thursday.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: How it all goes.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: So see you on Thursday.
