  Speaker 1: I'm in the studio. I'm joined by Angie Bates, who

  Speaker 1: is a netball umpire in the Folks To Netball League.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, Angie. How are you?
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I'm very well, thank you, nice to be here.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Good thank you. Now we're going to talk about netball
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and a lot more about the sport as well. But
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: first of all, tell us a bit about your sporty background.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: For example, I mean, was netball your first love?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I was never very sporty at primary school. It was
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: something I would avoid if I could. But when I
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: got to secondary I did fall in love with netball
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: and I played throughout my secondary school career and then
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: afterwards I joined a local village team and we played
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: in the Ashford Netball League. I've continued on from there.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, so where is whereabouts? Were you at this time?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I was living in wood Church netball team and they
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: are still going today. Broke break, sorry, but they've come
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: back together again and you're still playing.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So you moved down this way? And I mean did
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you look for netball straight away or did you give
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you a little break? No?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I carried straight on. Yes, yeah, it's in the blood
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: it I think, so I'm hiring is my past?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Great? Good? Well, before we go on to talk about
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the folks in netball league, I mean, let's let's just
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: talk about the sport in general. I mean I've been
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: doing a little bit of research and it's kind of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a spin off from basketball, isn't it is? Yeah? From
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: what I discovered that they found this sport basketball, but
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: it was for the fellas and the ladies wanted some
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: so something, so it was like derived from there, is
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that right?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: That is right? Yes?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it took off in England certainly, and once
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: again doing research, it's the certain countries. It never is
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: never here. I mean, what do you know about I mean,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: if you ever toured around umpiring.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I haven't. I've only done umpiring in the local area.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but I mean you must watch it or
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: look out for it on the teley.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, I do watch the international games on the television.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And I mean do you find that it's become
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: more and more popular since you started?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I think it's becoming very popular. It's played in seventy
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: two worldwide.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Seventy two. But that does surprise me actually because I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: didn't think it was as many as that. I mean,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest ones that I was looking at
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: is Australia, isn't it. I mean, you can fit seventy
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: two countries in Australia, can't you.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: You certainly could notice it.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And as it got to the level we know
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: it's not on the Olympic Games, we talk about that
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: in a minute, but as it got to the level
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: with seventy two countries, as it got to the level
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of like a World Cup.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, they have got World Cup and their next one
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: is coming up in Sydney and Australia and that will
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: be held between August and September twenty twenty.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Seven, right, twenty so a couple of years, yeah, about
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: two years now. And do traditionally the Australians do well, Yes,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: they do, do they? Yes? Yeah, they're like a top
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of the tree.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Are they got Australia, New Zealand, England, Jamaica?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all good, pretty young countries. Yeah yeah. Right,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And so the league, the league sort of strategy in
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: England is it really big? Let's start locally, So you've
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: got a league in folks, then where else have you
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: got leagues? In Kent.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: You've got Dover, Canterbury made Stone. That's the ones that
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I know of.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there was.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: One in Sittingbourn. I think that's possibly still it is.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I know you hold tournaments. There's
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: another thing we've got to talk about. But do you
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: ever get to play these teams in sittingboul and that
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: or is it just in tournaments they pop up?
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: A few years ago we actually pre COVID put out
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: an interleagues tournament, right, so we had teams entering from
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: different areas, which was great fun unless you play in
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: the areas. Now, I don't think there are many tournaments.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Just do specific league.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, right, so we will be talking about the Folkston
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: League and now that's grown well basically you've got some
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: really good courts now, haven't you They've been there? Are
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: they holding up now? The courts are a couple of
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: years old.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two months ago they were they were resurfaced completely. Yeah.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I do remember the project. We had Rachel in here,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Rachel Hayden, and she run me through the projects. And
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I have been following the Network League for a number
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of years actually, and so I do remember the old
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: courts and I do remember I went to a tournament. Well,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know when it was. I think to be fair,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: we had Danielle in about April time and there was
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a tournament where the fellas were playing.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: That Easter mixed tournament.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, was you involved with that?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I was unpiring. Yes, yes, it was brilliant. The lads
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: embraced the game, did they They listened when they did
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: something wrong and we were trying to explain it. I
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: took it all on board. We had three mails playing
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: per team, yes, yeah, and they were set in certain
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: positions so they would only play against each other. Yeah,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: because they are slightly feistier than some of our life. Yeah.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Probably a bit naive as well, I suppose to the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: tactics and the rules. But yeah, no, I did go
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: up and watched. I've watched a few games, but it
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: is what I found. It's a fast moving game, isn't it.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And you've got you'll have to just clarify as this
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: for the non netball people out there, and we're right
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and saying you've got two umpires, Yes, that's for per game,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: but do you need it? You must need a scorer
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: as well, because it's bang bang. But even the players
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: don't know who's winning, do they No.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: What should happen is you have two scorers per game.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Two scorers, yeah, and they will call out.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: The score every time a goalie score. Oh okay, allocated
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: ends to call the scores out. Years ago, we didn't
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: have this. You as an umpire, you umpired, you scored,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you called the score out.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Oh around you.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: So umpires nowadays love it.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they have it quite easy. There's a lot
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: of pressure on them and you say, well it was
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: fifty one twenty two you yeah, I scored twenty three points,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: so yeah, so good. It's great to see it's growing.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And what about the youth side of things? Do you
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: get many youngsters coming into the game.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, we do. We've got Danielle and Rachel along with
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Emily run A youth training sessions Wednesdays and Thursday nights.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I believe they are. And from there we have had
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: three youth teams enter art.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Oh well yeah.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: The first team were Scorpions. Yeah, they are amazing. They've
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: improved so much, going strong, and we've recently had Orcas
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: join us alongside Stingrays.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: All right, okay, now I've seen I do read out
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the names there's ice and other lovely names like that.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: What else was we going to talk about? Right? So
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: it's growing, but it hasn't hit the heights of the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Olympic Games yet, has it?
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately not?
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Do you know? You know, have you read up with
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: West of Why?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I did have a little look, and predominantly netball is
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: seen as a female only sport, whereas the Olympics has
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: games that are for both male and females.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, right, right? That's not going to change, is it, really?
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: No, unless they change their rules.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's a bit I mean by today's what
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: do you call it, standards for equality? That's a little
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: bit a bit mean, isn't it.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: It's very mean, and I think people would enjoy watching
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: a fast paced Yeah.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: But in the Commonwealth Games that's that's fine, isn't it?
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Next the common Health Back Games we have and the
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: next one is going to be held in Scotland, Scotland,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: and that is next year between July and August.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Oh right, Oh there's something to look forward to. Don't
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that be good? Yeah? Yeah, I mean do you think
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: probably difficult one to answer, but you think, like some
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: of your team might say, oh, come on, your fancy
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a weekend in Scotland.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: It's quite possible they do go up to watch the
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: super League games at the copper.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Box, right, ah, right, now, there's something I don't know
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: about super League game? What is that?
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: There's it's sorry sky Sports, it's on and I believe
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: it's different teams from areas are in a super League
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: division and it goes out live, right people to watch
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the local one I believe is.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Copper Box, right, Okay, right, We're going to take a
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: little music break now, and because we've still got to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: talk about the local stuff and what's happening down there.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: So in the meantime, I've dragged this one because I
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: do love this the Dinah Ross. I love the old
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: stuff and I think you might enjoy this one. It's
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: called chain Reaction. Dina Us there and chain Reaction. When
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: was the last time you heard that one? They go
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: on ages ago. That's the beauty at this station. And
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: we've got such a library of tracks we can duck
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and dive and to take you back in time. Okay,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: So we are joined once again by Angie from the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Folks to netpal League, who is an umpire. So Angie,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: where do we start with this one. You've been You've
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: been umpiring a long time, then have you?
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I have over thirty years.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Thirty years? Who great, that's great, that's great. It's funny.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know whether you'd expect when you started out umpiring,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: whether you'd expect to like at times, fall out of
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: love with the game, or perhaps you'd never make thirty years.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I have had rest in between. I thought I was
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: doing too much umpiring in too many areas. Yes, it
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: was every night, you know, you're out and about. So
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I had a break. But then I realized I missed it. Yeah, yeah,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and I got back into it.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, So umpiring, if you want to become an umpire,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: let's say you've got a player that's coming to the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: twilight of her career injuries and stuff for taking over,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: they want to be an umpire, tell us a few
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: basics of how you get into umpiring locally anyway?
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, So locally you'd speak to me as the umpiring
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: secretary and I would support you along your journey. To qualify,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: you have to go through Kent Netball, so you would
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: have to do for your first qualification, which is an IO,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: and into officiating, you do two online courses. Then you
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: get in lots and lots of practice and then you
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: would take an assessment to get your first one. The
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: same applies for your Sea award, so you'd again more practice,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: you'd be issued a mentor who would come along and
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: support you, and then you do an online course and
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: then you would go for your qualification. We run Sunday
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: training sessions at three Hills for anyone that wanted to
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: unpire could come along and have a go.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: It's a friendly, fun session. No one takes it overly
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: seriously and there are people there who will support you
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: with your umpiring.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, So on those Sunday mornings, do you have to
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: have a team of match going on too umpire or
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: is it all a bit of theory. And although you
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: do your online stuff it, do you do your practical
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: stuff for Sunday morning as well.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah? That's people just turn up, pay and play basically, right,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: and then if they are a spare people, they get
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: a chance to come out an umpire and that gets
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: them into it. Whether or not you like it, I
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: think most people do fall in love with it, even
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: though they're a bit apprehensive to start. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I mean as a league, we fund umpire training sessions.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: So we have a lovely lady in Ashford who is
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: an a award umpire to East Chittenden and she comes
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: along and runs sessions for us to give people an
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: idea of what they need to do to get to
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the level to pass there.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, this sounds and what's the uptake on that?
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Do you get many?
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Yes? We do. We've had four four sessions this season.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Oh great, that's good. Yeah. Yeah. It's good people stay
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: with the game, isn't it Because certainly, if you like,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I played a lot of local football and a little
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: bit of senior football, but there weren't many footballers that
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: went into referee in so it's nice to see a
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: sport that you know, you carry on and stay with it.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: It's great. So you said you're the umpire and secretary
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: for what for a region or just for folks?
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Just for folks?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah right? Does do the other leagues in Dover
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and Ashford do they have the same sort of structure
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: as Folkston?
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: They all have umpiring secretaries. We in Folkston have asked
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: all our teams to put someone forward to train as
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: an umpire. Then every season they are allocated games to
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: umpire if they can't umpire it. We have a WhatsApp
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: group and I have can't be more grateful to our
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: umpires that pick up games that people if they've got them. Yeah,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: we've got a great core of umpires, so that's how
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: we do it. Other leagues don't insist that you have
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: an umpire and they provide people to umpire the games.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Right, And from your experience of chatting around, do you
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: find it sounds like you have got a good school
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: of umpires there. But do other leagues suffer with umpires
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: trying to get them or is it really? You know,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Because a lot of teams that sorry leagues, I know
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: they do insist that each team has a qualified umpire.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: It just comes when you need cover and not every
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: everybody is available.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, so if you're running a little sort of bare
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: minimum and that yeah, okay, right, and so let's just
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: recap that one. So just tell me about Sunday month.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: What happens on a Sunday morning down a three heels.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Right, you can turn up between. It starts at ten
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: for an hour. You can come along to play if
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: you want to, and you just pay to cover the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: cost of the court. There's no other charges. They usually
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: do a warm up, a bit of a drill and
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: then get into a game. Right If anyone wants to come,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: just umpire, that's acceptable. You just come along, bring a whistle,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: bring a band, and you're set to go.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Right okay. And I'll know one thing I like watching
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: in all sorts of sports is like discipline. Now in football,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: discipline is awful. In rugby it's brilliant. And I know
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: it was only a tournament, but I did notice how
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: good the discipline was between the players and the umpires.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Am I barking up the right tree here or is it?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I think it was a good fun tournament. Everyone was
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: about to enjoy themselves. We didn't need to go down
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: game management with the tournament.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Everything was do you have yellow cars and that sort
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: of thing.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: We don't have yellow cars. We have game management. Game management,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: so if somebody is persistently obstructing a player, for example,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: you will get their attention and just say to them, please,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: can you watch your obstruction? If they then don't, you
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: will advance the penalty and that can be advanced up
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: to half of a third. So it's going in favor.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: If they continue to do the obstruction, they'll be given
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: a warning and warn that they will be suspended. This
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: normally doesn't go any further. That's it. They're a bit like,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: don't want to go off, but they would be suspended
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: for two minutes of play and their position is left vacant.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: See if they come back on and continue, they're sent
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: off the whole for the rest of the game.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I can't see that happening much, does it.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I've only witnessed it once many years.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, someone's had a bad day. And oh
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: that's interesting. Actually that's very good because I didn't know
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the structure of whether there was a sin bin or
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you know, off you go. And it's funny you should
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: say that because years ago I played a bit of
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: rugby and if you argue with the referee straight away
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: you lost ten yards. You know that they moved the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: game up ten yards to your disadvantage. I don't see
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: that in modern rugby.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I'll have to go keep them away out now. But
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: rugby is very disciplined, I must admit, right. So moving
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: on to the folks in Netble League. Since the refurbishment
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: of the courts, how has it really improved the game
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: and the number of teams.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the courts are much much better. We haven't got
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: the more growing on it, which is great. We can
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: play in all weathers.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: You don't have to cut the concrete.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Definitely not now. And we've got more teams coming to
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: join us, which is great.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: How many teams in the folks in net League?
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: We have twelve at the moment, but we only have
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: two courts. Yes, so we are restricted, right.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: But you do kind of pack it all in on
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: on till Wednesday night, don't you.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: We do two sessions early in a late game, yeah,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: to seven and eight o'clock. Yeah, so we managed to
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: get to.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: And you managed to get all twelve twelve in do you?
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Or eight game? Four games? Eighteen? Yeah?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, So you don't get a game every week
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: then no, all right, because if you had a third
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: court you probably could yeah right, yeah, yeah. Well it's
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: not a bad thing. Is It's good for the games
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: because that people come along competitive and have a little rest.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: And hopefully, as we were saying off here, hopefully when
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the sports Center gets going again, there'll be another venue
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: up there that you could use.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: We are currently looking for a second venue, which we're
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: hoping to have in place fingers crossed for the summer
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: season next year. We're just working our way through that
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: to see where we can find somewhere.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Right, okay, And so yeah, I've been down there a
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: few times to watch the netball and I do enjoy it.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: So the netball league is thriving. Do you run any
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: projects or anything else, you know, like a sort of
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: back to netball if someone wants to get back into
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: We haven't done that in recent years. We used to,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: but everybody is so busy, it's trying to get everything.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: There are social leagues, yeah, and it is a good
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: way to get back to netbul to decide if you
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: want to, because you don't have to affiliate to England Netball,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: whereas with our league we ask you to affiliate.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: So we're inshured.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Right there's at three heels on a Tuesday and a
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Thursday evening. There are two separate social leagues.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Right now. There's one thing I want to ask you about,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and it's a word I don't like using for some reason.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: It's called floaters. I just conjure up something else which
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I won't describe on air because I lose my job.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: But if you are a floater, tell me what a
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: floater is.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, So a floater is a player who can't commit
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: to play every week. Rather than signing to a team
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: and having to fork out your fees every week to play,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: you can join our floaters list and a pole goes
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: up in the WhatsApp group and you say, if you're
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: available that week to play and at what time? Then
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: if any teams need players, they will contact you and
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: say can you come up and us out tonight. Yeah,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: you can't play for the same team more than three
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: times before you have to register, but it gives you
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: a chance to play for different teams to find out
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: what your level is and where your best fit is.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Right, And I mean, are there many floaters? Does it work?
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: It does work?
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, teams. Right, let's get back to basics. How many
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: in a team is it? It's seven on seven? Yeah, right?
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: So if a team's only got five, they might be
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: putting the word out for a couple of floaters.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: And they're only allowed to borrow too, are they right?
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: And you can't have You've got to have more of
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: your own players floaters.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, So I'm asking all the questions. But is
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: there anything else you want to add to your little
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: list that you've got there?
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I think we've covered We've covered.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Most of it. Yeah right, Oh, I'll tell you what
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: we want to talk about. Is you got a tournament
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: coming up? Haven't you tell me about that?
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Right? We're holding another mixed tournament. It's on the first
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: of November at three Hills, starting at nine and depending
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: on teams, we're looking to aim to finish by three.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: It will be a Halloween themed fancy dress.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Oh well, that'll be good.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: So all teams will be given a theme when they
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: register to produce themselves on the day.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Right team to play netball? Teams of witches and warlocks
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: and yeah, great, that'd be good. I've come up and watch, say,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: get a few pictures. Okay, So, if you think we
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: are getting near the end of it, is there any
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: people that you really think are worth a mentioned. I mean,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: it's so difficult, I won't say worth it, that's not fair.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Any people that you would like to mention And in
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: the course of your folks in Netble League appearances.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Our committee at the moment it's very strong and we're
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: really pulling through to move netball and folks them forward
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: so it will be too long many Yeah, you get
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: told committee.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Leave someone out, your getting be in trouble.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And to the umpires again, who whenever I ring
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: up and say is there any chance you can cover
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: a game? Yeah, they do it for jellybabies?
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Well brilliant, yeah, the jelly baby. So finally, then, how
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: can people get in touch with you or the if
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: anything to do with the local netble leagues? Right?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: So, you can get hold of us on Facebook at
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: folks in Netball League, or you can email Folkston Netball
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: at gmail dot com and we will get back to you.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: We would love to have you as part of our league.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: There you go. So if anybody out there listening to this,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and perhaps you've just moved to the area and you know,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: used to play netball and you want to get back
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: into it, then that's the place to go. The Facebook
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: page and the email and I'm sure the email addresses
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: on the Facebook page somewhere. But okay, Angie, do you
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: think we've covered everything? Now? I think I think we
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: have done you. We've done a good job. Yeah, right,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: So it just leads me to say thank you so
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: much for coming in and I'll tell you what. I've
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: just thought it was something and this tournament super short,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: and there was something else, wasn't there. I knew, I
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: knew it was complicated. Yeah, I knew it was complicated.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: So quickly run for us. What a super short okay.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: So super shots on the court. We have a d
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: at both ends, which is a white circle. We have
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: an inner orange circle. If a goal attack or goal
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: shooter scores a goal between the white and the orange,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: they score two goals.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, so it's a bit further out, a bit.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Further out goals. Each team in the Winter starts with
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: a handicap, so a set amount of goals depending on
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: where they finished in the league, to make it a
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: bit more fun, a bit more competitive, so that their
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: teams down the bottom aren't being beaten heavens at the top.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: So that's one section. And then we have versatility, where
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: bibbs are just given out random yeah yeah, and they
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: follow a rotation at each quarter.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Great, so you don't know where you're playing, yeah great,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Some love it, some hating, yeah yeah, I'm not playing
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: there again. Well, Angie, thank you so much. It's been great,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: and thank you for coming in and telling us all
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: about the folction nebul League and especially about the umpire
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: and it's been a brilliant morning. Thank you, thank you
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: very much. Okay, so there we go. That was Angie
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Bates there and we've got so much to learn today,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: haven't we. Right, better get back to a bit of
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: music now, and this is one direction and dragged me down.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I'm got fire for a heart. I'm not scared of
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the dark. You've never seen it look, so my direction
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: drag me down right. Well, that was a lovely interview
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: there with Antie Bay from the Folkston Netle League. And
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: it's so good that there's a sportlight netble really booming
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: in Folkston. Okay, time for some cricket now where the
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: local cricket season is are now over, although some teams
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: have continued to play friendlies. So let's have a roundup
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: of how they're all finished up. Canterbury first eleven batted
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: first against Folkston first eleven and made two hundred and
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: sixty nine for six in their fifty overs. Folkston then
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: scored two hundred and eight for eight in their fifty
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: overs so lost the match by sixty one runs, ending
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the season seventh out of ten teams in the championship,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the Folks and second team. They traveled to Nottington, who
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: went in first and scored one hundred and eighty eight
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: for eight in a forty five over game. Folkston then
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: came oh so close, making one hundred and eighty four
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: for seven in their forty five overs, so lost the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: game by just four runs. Now that's interesting actually because
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I looking into the depths of the scoring and in
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: this Gameton gained twenty three runs as extras whilst Folkston
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: gained sixteen. So it just goes to show how important
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: is not to give away so many extras when the
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: final score is so close. The Seconds finished in sixth
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: place out of ten, and that's in Division six in
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: the Hurricane Section. In Division ten Shepherd Section, already already
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: a relegated Westgate on Sea conceded the game to Folks
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Doon third eleven, so they finished six out of ten.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Folkston fourteen traveled to already crowned champions Ashford and gave
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: them a good run for their money, losing the game
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: by just two wickets, finishing the season fifth out of
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: ten in Division eleven Shepherd Section, and the fifth eleven
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: ended on a huge note on a high note sorry,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: traveling to Chestfield and beating them by four wickets, finishing
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: fifth out of seven in Division twelve in the Shepherd Section.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: So a very steady old season by all the folks
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: than fiveteen. No promotion or relegation issues to talk about
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: with two teams finish in fifth, two teams finishing sixth
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and one team finish in seventh. Okay, so we're going
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: to move on to the rest of our local teams.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: In Division eight Shepherd Section, Hawkins finished their season beat
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: in Saint Lawrence and Highland Court by seventy one runs
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: and became champions. And in the same division I have
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: finished second without bowling a ball. Now, I was going
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: to go down to this game, which was at the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Grove to watch Hive against Bottom Club, already relegated Canterbury
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: thirt eleven and at the time had to win this
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: one to gain promotion. Well luckily I didn't travel down
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: after checking the play Cricket website for a start time,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: only to find Canterbury had conceded the game. So I
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: have gained twenty points the victory and promotion. High Green
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: traveled to Worth but lost by eight wickets, leaving them
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: eighth out of ten, avoiding relegation. Salt Wood lost the
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: way to champions Herne Bay by thirty eight runs, ending
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: up six out of ten in Division nine Shepherd Section
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: and Siptom Park First eleven opened the bat in against Bapchild,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: making one hundred and ninety seven for five, but Bapchild
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: replied with two hundred and one for eight, winning the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: game by two wickets. So the SIBS First eleven finished
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the fifth in Division five Hurricane Section, while the SIBS
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: second team have already finished their season last week when
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: they Beaches Filled by seventy one runs and gained promotion
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: as runners up. So Summon up the season no real
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: low points all our teams avoiding relegation. However, congratulations must
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: go to champions Hawkins and to runners up Highe and
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Siptom Park second team in their respective divisions. Now, before
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: we leave cricket, which might be for some time now
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: as it's come all come into an end, I want
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: to tell you about a friendly match I went to
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: see between Folks and Sunday eleven and a visiting touriside
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the old Castletonians who come from Croydon but have a
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Caribbean flavor about them. I got chatted into a couple
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: of the visiting spectators and they told me that they
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: don't really have a settled home ground and they play
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of their cricketing against teams in Surrey, but
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: have been coming to Folkston for around fifteen years and
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I've certainly seen them a few times when they've come down.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Folks and Batty First have made two hundred and thirty
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: two for three in their forty overs. But the interesting
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: thing is that there were three players out there. They
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: were all very young. WI could keeper Bo Morgan, son
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: of former guests at the show, Carlie Morgan, is in
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: his early teens and eastcored thirty one and only the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: day before he made his debut in the first team.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: A dt Arianne who normally plays for the thirteen. Well,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: she yes, she scored thirty runs. Herbert Simpson, who looked
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: I couldn't have a chat with her, but but he
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: only looked about twelve thirteen EA scored six not out
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: and he looked very very solid, very enthusiastic. But star
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: of the show was Theo Coombs who was only fifteen.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: He made one hundred and three, not out achieving his
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: century on the very last ball of the innings with
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: a four, and of course we mustn't forget senior member
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Ryder Wallace who made a solid fifty four. The Castletonians
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: gave a good account of themselves, all their players making
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: runs except one and they managed one hundred and ninety one,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't enough, so folks, the won by forty
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: one runs. So it just goes to show that there
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: is some young talent in the wings there waiting for
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: their chances. And this has been proved by a young Theo,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: who's been ever present in the Saturday First eleven and
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: he will now be turning his attention to hockey with
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: the Optomists, and that he's been a regular with four
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: another former guests of the show coach Adrian, and so
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: I think we'd be hearing more about him in the
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: hockey scene. And it was nice to see Theo's mum
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: and dad, his sister, and two lovely people that I know,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: his grandmother Deirdre and his granddad Graham Coombs. There is
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: a great great runner. She loves her part run and
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Graham is an awesome volunteer at the part run as well,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: so it's good to see everybody down there supporting THEO.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: And really you knew it was like a reggae Caribbean
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: theme because as I approached the ground, I could hear
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: all this music pumping out and went upstairs and he
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: was constantly playing and it really and it was a
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: lovely sunny day. You really wish you was in the Caribbean.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: So there's not many cricket songs in the playlist. I
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: found one the other week, Dreadlock Holiday. I don't want
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: to play that again, so I found this one. How
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: about this Ashes to Ashes, So that's David Bowie there.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I was just going to fade that down for a
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: few seconds because the interview, as it always does, when
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: on a little bit longer than I thought, but I
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: didn't want to interrupt Andreie. It was such an interesting chat.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: So what I want to do now is talk about
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: the Great North Run. Now, over the last few years,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I've got to know and support a team of ladies
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: from Folks to on Optimist Hockey Club who called themselves
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: the Scrambled Legs. Yes you've heard that right, the Scrambled Legs.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: These ladies in the past have challenged themselves to take
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: on the Hive Bay Triathlon, walking up Mount Snowden, having
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: a go at the fastest zipwire in the UK. And
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: last Sunday, three of them, Katrina Peak, Vicki Jones and
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Rona Fry took on the Great North Run. And I'm
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: going to read out this report which was sent to
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: me by Katrina. Now please remember this is I didn't run.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: These are Katrina's words. Traveling up to the Great North
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Run on Saturday the sixth of September, Rona, Vicki and
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I were filled with excitement and apprehension for the biggest
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: half marathon event hosting sixty thousand runners. Folks into Newcastle
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: is a long way, but with all the training behind us,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: we were hopeful the weather would stay dry and the
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: crowds would encourage us all the way from Newcastle to
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: South Shields. With alarms set for six point thirty on
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Sunday the seventh the event, they was finally here and
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: now was the time we hoped all the training and
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: hard work would pay off. As we arrived into Newcastle
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: for the event that had brought us all together. Music
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: lined the streets and every person you saw seemed to
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: be wearing a race number for the start line. As
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: we head over to our Pink Wave start point, bags
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: were dropped off and we made our way down to
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: the start. The energy was like none other. Everyone was
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: there to support and encourage each other, with so many
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: different charities at the heart of people's efforts. I was
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: raising money for Bail Cancer UK, Rona was supporting Dreams
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Come True and Vicki raised money for Tommy's charity. We
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: all raised several hundred pounds for our charities and thank
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: all those who reported us, helping us to reach our
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: targets and allow the charities to keep doing the wonderful
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: work they do. Once the race began, the immediate support
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: from the crowds was almost overwhelming, but absolutely incredible, and
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: that remained throughout the entire thirteen point one miles. We
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: can't thank enough all those that supported on the sidelines
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: back home and who offered all of us such kindness
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: and encouragement. It was a race day we'll never forget
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: and I couldn't think of anyone I'd rather share it
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: with rather than Rona and Vicky. So a big thank
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: you to Katrina there. That's a lovely report. She took
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: the time to send it to me. And that's on
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: behalf of the scrambled legs. But there are two other
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: scrambled legs that didn't do the Great North Run that
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I do think do deserve a mention. They've done all
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: the other events. That's Vicky Baxter and Julie Griffin. Now,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the run for the three ladies went well. They all
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: got home safely, unscathed. Vicky Jones came in two hours
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: twenty five twenty seven and looking at the split times,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: they all stay together up until about five miles. Then
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the Vicky, who is a bit quicker, she shut off,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: but Katrina and Rona stayed together and came in together
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: at two twenty eighth seven. Now, just to highlight the charities,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Vicky who run for Tommy's charity that researches causes and
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: complications of pregnancy, miscarriages and more. Katrina run for Bow
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Cancer UK, which is dedicated to treatments and potential cures.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: And Rona for a run for a charity called Dreams
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Come True which fulfills the dreams of children and young
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: adults who have a wide range of medical complications. So
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: there you go, and now I haven't seen them yet.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I know I haven't asked them yet, but I wonder
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: what their next challenge will be. I'm sure there's something
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: else up there sleeve.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of other local runners are here and
• 35:54

  Speaker 1: smashed one of the hardest ultras in the country in Wales,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: digging in for seventeen hours and fifty minutes twenty eight seconds,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: But no doubt his mind was on the raising funds
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: for his favorite charity, the Romney Marsh Community Hub. Strangely enough,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: his race number was one ninety six and he came
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: in in one nine to sixth position out of two
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventeen many not making There was a cutoff

  Speaker 1: time for this one twenty one hours, so a massive,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: massive well done to you, Paul, and that was an
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: awesome thing to do. So there we go, Tier Squeeze.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: One more song in and then I've got time, gonna
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: crack on it with a bit of football. In the meantime,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: let's have a little listen to Katie Lang and Constant Cravin.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Well there was a couple of minutes anyway of Cadie
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Lang Constant Craven. And the thing is, I do want
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: to get this for the last report in local football scores,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: So let's turn our attention to focusing in Victor now.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Last week they beat Whitehawk for one at home, their
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: home as you know, they were without a home ground
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: at the moment. They played this at Hartsdown Park and
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: listen to this one tomorrow, Yes, tomorrow Friday evening they
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: play Maystone United in the second qualifying round of the
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: FA Cup at home again, but this time their home
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: ground will be Chatham Town and that is an eight
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: pm kickoff. So this game is worth three three hundred
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: and seventy five pounds of the winners and one and
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: twenty five pounds of the losers. And I tell you
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a tough one. I've found a
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: slipped down to sixteenth place after losing two new at
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: home to Fisher on Saturday, and they lost three to
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: one again at Richfield's on Tuesday night and to Lockfield
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: and New Hive. This Saturday they are away to Chiselhurst Glebe.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: All the games mentioned there were in the Skeffold League,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: which is better known as the Southern Counties East Football League. However,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: on Saturday September twentieth they take a break from the
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: league to play in the second qualifying round of the
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Favars and that's a home to a team called Athletic
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Newman FC, who traveled from Dagenham in Essex. In the
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: NLG Kent County League, Hawkins beat Cuxton two to one
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: at home, and this Saturday they're at home again, this
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: time to Falkenwood who would traveled down from swan Lea.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: New Romney lost three to home to long Lane and
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: this week they're away to Bexley. Currently the league table
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: looks like this Hawkins July in second place at one
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: point behind leaders Alsford, but I have two games in hand,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: and in Romney are fifteenth out of nineteen teams. And finally,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: last Sunday, the folkus Din in Victor women's team started
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: their season with a splendid three to one win over
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Selling Ladies sing This Sunday, though they face a tough
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: game away at Sittingbourn a team called Park Regis Ladies
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: who started their season with a big six to one
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: win against Faversham. So you've got to look to look
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: out for that one, that's for sure. Look out for
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: the result for that game for the ladies. Okay, So
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: we are constantly craving for a bit more time on
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: the show. That was Katie Lang there and so it's
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: not much time to go. We've just got over just
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: over a minute left and I'll tell you what. We
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: will play a bit of this one Bobby Brown, and
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: then we're going to fade it out because it will
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: be time to go. I'll be talking to you in
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: just a few seconds. This is Bobby Brown and two
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: can play that game sting. But as it for me
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: for this week, I'm afraid there won't be a live
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: sports show on Saturday as eighty is down at the
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Scarboro Festival and I'll be emc at Dover Waterfront Park
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: runs at second Birthday. Then I'm up on Sunday. I
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: should be down at Rye MC in the nice book
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: rya Ancient Trails Race. So let's hope the rain stays
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: away and whatever you do stay sport, seem sure attitude
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: and I'll see you on Thursday. You just stop seeing
• 41:34
