• 0:28
  Speaker 1: three interviews, three memorable interviews from twenty twenty four. I've
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: still got some local sports news from last weekend. They've
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: got some football, got some rugby, well, hocke are you

  Speaker 1: are with Terry Dunham as we talk about World Championship dance.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Adrian Road came into the studio just before her under
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: fourteen boys hockey team we're about to play a semi
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: final win a National Cup, and a chat inside the

  Speaker 1: Julie Rowe Stadium with ultra runner Jody Jackman, straight after
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: she completed her one hundred mile run along the North
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Downs Way. So there's only one thing to do in
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a start the show with a Charristmas song.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: One oh five point nine Radio Folkston This.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Song is proudly sponsored by JJ's Taxis, who would like

  Speaker 1: So that's the pretenders there and once again a massive
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: thank you to JJ Tax's first sponsoring that Christmas soul. Now,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: our first interview of twenty twenty four was back on
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: January the ninth when I asked my dance contact Terry
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Dunham to come into the studio at very short notice,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and we talked about sixteen year old Luke Littler who
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: had just won the World Dance Championship.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: So let's have a little listen, shall.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: We rock the boat there by Hughes Corporation. Well, we're
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: back in the studio and we are talking dance. It's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the sport at the moment. If you was tuned in
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: last week and you must have been really excited at
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: this final and perhaps you learn a bit more about
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: darts as well. So I'm joined back in the studio
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: by Terry. You're right, Terry, thank you? Yeah, good now, Terry,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you say you've been up to Ali Palli a couple
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of times, and it's a kindval atmosphere. So what do
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you think. Do you think that helps the darts players
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: or it puts them off?
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: I think it's a combination of both, depending if the
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: crowd's on your side. I mean, we've seen it with
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: a few people I know, go In Price, probably Darryl
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: Gurney a few times the crowd, crowd get on top
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: of you, it can play in your mind. But again,
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: if you've got the crowd back in, like quite a
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: few of them have, then I think it can spur
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: you on, just you know that little bit more.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean Louke litterly, he did kind of
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: rise to the crowd, didn't he For a youngster, I'll say,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: with little experience. But that's not quite true because I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: was looking up his Wikipedia and he's been playing dulls
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: for a long time. In fact, I can tell you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: here was here that he did. He did a nine
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: dart finish at the age of thirteen. I mean, have
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you ever done a night Darce finish?
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: I'd love to know coaches I've ever got coach I've
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: got six I think, But was it? It's one of
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: those things you know, it's the holy grail darts players
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: in a nine dart finish and to say you've done
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: it at thirteen, it's.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like it's like a golf that does a hole
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: in one or a snooker player against one for seven.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: Is that is that it's one of those things that
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: it's harder to hit a nine dart or one four
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: seven or a whole year one.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, brilliant.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: So anyway, Luke Litlter, he's set the nation of light
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: with his darts, And do you think it's now going
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to make an impact on youngsters who might want to,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you know, think, oh I just try to, you know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: go a little bit better than playing in the shit.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I mean I think it will. I mean I hope
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: it will.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, you don't get anywhere without youth progressing and
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: coming through, no matter what sport you play, say with
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: his football, cricket, darts, rugby, you've got to have the
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: youth to come through for that next generation. So I
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: think it will spare a few people on. I mean,
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: my oldest at schools telling me his old year was
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: tuned in to watch the darts and they were constantly
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: on about him. Old do you know him, you know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: how's he getting on and things like that. So just
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: just by one sixteen year old doing that, you've got
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: you know, a whole whole year at school now watching
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: darts and that's on a in a more scale.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right then we were talking off before the start
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of the show that you went to Romania.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, twenty two went out to Romainia open just as
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: a went with a friend, got dragged along and you know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: a a go I was okay, what's the worst that
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: could happen? Well you were playing, yeah, very badly, but
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: it doesn't matter. You were there, so did how did
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: you get roped into that? Then old friend of mine
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: was out there, he's done a couple before, the Lithuanian
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: and something else, and he was like, oh, come along,
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: what's the worst that can happen?
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: I need I need a pairs partner.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: So oh yeah, yeah, you know, Jawn off on a
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: little holiday, never been to Romania before, and yeah, next
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: next thing, I know, I've rocked up in this building
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: and yeah there's former World champions you know, Champions elect,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: World Champions Elect there. It was a bit like oh right,
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: different league, very different. Yeah, yeah, for what did you get, Oh,
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: didn't go past the first round.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't even win a game really, but I saw
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Luke Litl's name against them of Romania.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: Was that the same year? It was the same year. Yeah,
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: come across him a few of his games. Even watched
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: him in the final and he I think he'd beat
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: a former world champion in yellow class and in the
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: final work he was only what fifteen then?
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: As we wow?
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that that never came to anybody's attention, did it? Well,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: we might have done in the darts community, but I
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: certainly keep an eye on what's going on in sport.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And I must admit I'd never heard of the name
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Luke Litler until this competition.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: But you knew, you knew he was in the circles,
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: didn't you. Yeah, I've had loaded name for what sort
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: of three four years now. I mean obviously with my
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: boys playing you for you obviously hear who are the
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: good young players around? And then you know, you sort
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: of keep keep tabs. You just keep an eye out
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: every time you see and hear the name. And yeah,
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: he's just grown and grown this year on the youth circuit.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: He's pretty much won everything there is to win yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: excuse me. So it's going to change his life, isn't it.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I mean he's now going to be asked to advertise
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: dance flights and you know, dart boards and things like that.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Do you think.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: You can't stop anyone progressing? But do you think it's
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: come too soon for him?
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: It depends how you want to look at it depends
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: how he handles it, I think. Yeah.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: I mean there was the old sayings that if you're
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: good enough, you're old enough, right, yeah, and he certainly
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: proved he's good enough. I think you know, his family
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: and his management they're probably keeping grounded. Yeah, I mean they.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: I think they've dealt with him quite well. I mean
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: British media doesn't help. It doesn't help anyone who's successful.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: So you're right they like to jump on them straight away,
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: didn't they exactly? And a few people have, you know,
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: a few of the experienced process. They just leave my alone,
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: let him play darts. So I think as long as
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: he's looked after, I don't think it will phaze him.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: And he's respected, isn't he by the other dance players.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: He's not just like I've got to beat this kid,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you know, it's I'm really I'm really up against it today.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And what did I hear? I remember it. I was
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: reading about Luke Humphreys. During the game. He said to himself,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I've really got to up my game. I've got to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: beat this this opponent. He didn't call him a child
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: or a boy or anything. He said because he's going
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to be around for a long time. And that's what's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: buried him on because he knew that this Luke Litler
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: was going to be knocking on the door for you
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in the next few years. So he hasn't a respect
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of others. Do you think you might encourage more dance
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: players to play locally as well in your league?
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it can do it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: I mean this time of year, you know everyone gets
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: the buzz of darts.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: It's that time of year.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: So I mean there's I know, there's a few local
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: leagues finishing up at the end of the season. You know,
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: they're always looking out for more players, more teams, so
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: opportunities there for more people to join.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, And before we go, I mean, is
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: there anything that's really kind of struck a nerve with you,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: really really brought home that is the game what he's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: done to the game.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: I think he's taken it to another level without shadow
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: of a doubt. I mean, you know, back in the
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: day you had Eric Bristow who was the flamboyant one. Yeah,
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: you had deed Phil Taylor who dominated for years. I
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: mean Michael van Gerwin then come through and sort of
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: took it. I think I think Luke will take it
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: to another level again. I think, but for the slightly
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: younger generation and give them an.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Idol to follow. Yeah, yeah, that's great.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: As we said, he doesn't look sixteen, but he's going
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to get that stick all the time, isn't he? And
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: he certainly needs to shave. But I mean we know
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: he's sixteen because it says that last last last year,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: he was studying for his GCSS thing and he said
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: he'd be glad when he passes his driving says, so
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: they don't have to drive a bit like you.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: They don't have to drive him around everywhere. Yeah, save
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: a bit on Petro wuldn't they? Yeah, I mean at
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: that level, they probably get all that paid for him. Yeah, yeah,
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: I'm sure.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well I'll tell you I'm so glad you come in,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Terry because it's nice to know that even like grassroots level,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: like you play Roundy Folkston and yourself, that you've been
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in if you like, in the same competition as a
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: current world champion. It's you didn't know that at the time,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: of course, but.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: No, I didn't he you know, you knew he was
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: going to go and do great things, but at the
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: time he was just you've champion.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: You probably thought, oh, he's going to be a good
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: plot dance player one day, but you probably never thought
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: he'd make well champion at the age of sixteen.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, like I said, out there as well was
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: Bo Greaves and she's a two time Ladies champion at
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: the age of nineteen. Yeah, and she was out there
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: at the time, so yeah, I mean you had former
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: world champions, so it's yeah, you can go and mix
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: it with these people.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's great.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: So what advice would you give to people that they like,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: they don't like to play a little bit darc In
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the sheard, but they've seen they've seen Luke Litler and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: what can do and it wants to entice them to,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you know, get a bit more involved. What can what
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: advice can you give to people that want to get
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: involved in dance. How would they go about it? Be confident,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: believe in yourself and reach out.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Like I said, there's you've got team leagues locally, you've
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: got singles leagues, and there's always next steps if you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: if you find that you want to go and push yourself,
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: there are there are other levels to go a lot
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: super league. So you know that there's plenty out there
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: for people that if you want to play on their
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: own or they want to be part of a team. Yeah,
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: there's definitely plenty out there. I mean we can always
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: point them in directions. Yeah, needed for whatever they want.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: So people can drop you a little message, yeah, means
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: always happy to help. Terry, thank you so much for
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: coming in. It really has opened my eyes to it.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: We we we've highlighted dance before before all this has happened,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: but I never thought we'd been sitting here talking about
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you playing in the same tournament as a world champion.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Me neither, Thanks Terry.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: So that was Terry Dunham and me having a chat
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: at the start of the year about World Dance Championship,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: which is coming around again as we speak, and I'm
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: pretty sure that I'm gonna have to get older Terry
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: to get him back in the studio to find out
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: how has dars changed in that year the local dance scene,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I mean youngsters picked it up, as you know, they've
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: been inspired by Luke's performance. So we'd have to get
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Terry back in in the new year and he can
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: bring us up to date. We're just going to keep
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: one eye on the Dance Championship and see what happens.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: And by the way, if he was watching Sportsview Personality
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: of the Year not so long ago, Luke Litler won
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a couple of prizes. He one was it a Youngster
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of a Year or something, but he was also third.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I think he was third in the actual full competition.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: So he's made a real name for himself. Okay, it's
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: a little bit of music. Now we've got Will Young
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and who am I? Sometimes?
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: You know you pushed me so hard.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know how.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: You are.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: As real young there from two thousand and six. So

  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Because last week on the program, I think it was
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: that I looked at the Google map out and found
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: out where the other teams were.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: And the further is that you might have had to
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: travel was Manchester, wasn't it It was?
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that'd have been a bigger way game.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean it would have been a great
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: experience for the boys. But I mean from an administration
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: point for Three Hills and that it's it's nice to
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: be on home territory at obviously an advantage.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Now now the boys been training this.
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: Week, they have we train every Monday.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: We've really been putting a focus on the cup games
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: without putting on too much pressure.
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: Lots of gameplay in training.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: We're so fortunate to have lots of people that have
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: got expert knowledge that have come down to help us out.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: We've got hockey playing parents who have played, you know,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: very high suandard of hockey. We've got old club members
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: that play played national league, all been helping us out.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: So it's fantastic.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's really put I don't know, it's almost
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: put the club back on the mat, really, hasn't it.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: It has, especially in hockey circles folks, and always feels
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: a little bit on the edge, I think because we're
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: surrounded by the sea and never sort of seen as
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: one of the big clubs, but it's really great to
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: put our name out there in the national competition.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Oh brilliant. Yeah.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: So let's get back to basics for people that don't
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: know hockey. How many in a team? Eleven on the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: bitch and how many in your squad?
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: We've got fifteen?
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Fifteen? And are you a loud If a player comes off,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: can he go back on again? Yes?
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Rolling subs?
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah. And the one thing I did learn actually
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: when I was chatting with Brian Murrell watching the game
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: your it would have been your quarterfinal, was that in
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: actual fact, the game is played in four quarters of
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, isn't it?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: It is actually that can it can be halves? That
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: it's normally agreed beforehand. So the England Hockey guidance actually
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: is to play halves at this age group. The coach
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: from the other team and I agreed on this occasion
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: to play quarters.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: Okay, so what will happen on Sunday? Will you have
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: a chat between you again or halves?
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Behalves this weekends? Yeah yeah, So does it actually make
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: any difference? Players sort of cool down and then take
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a bit of time to get going again.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it really depends on the circumstances of the game,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: because actually sometimes it's a good opportunity to get them
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: together and have a chat about something that you want
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: to change if you're playing quarters, whereas a half is
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: a long time. Yeah, and changing something while they're trying
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: to play is not that easy.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Right, I mean it was when I watched the quarters,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: it was good. You're I got there in time because
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I think the first goal went in with about thirty
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: seconds it is.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you couldn't think of a better way to start
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: a game, to be honest, I don't think the other
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: team had to touch the ball before it when.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: You're right, Yeah, but they did pull the couple back
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and it was a really exciting game. Now, what was
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I going to say? I noticed I don't know much
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: about hockey, but I noticed that some of your players
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: that were playing that Sunday they look like they've had
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a bit more experience. And I talking to Brian, he said, oh,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: it was a couple of those played in the seventeen
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: with us yesterday.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: So that must make a big difference, wasn't it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: It definitely does.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: So when the lads turn thirteen, they're able to play
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: in adult hockey. So the ones that are in the
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: older age group of the under fourteens this year have
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: been exposed at adult hockey. It makes such a huge difference,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: really changes the way they play their game.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because Brian was telling me that the day before
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the quarters, the goalie, your goalie, who didn't have much
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: to do really on the Sunday, he was flying about
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: all over the place on the second.
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: I believe he got that game.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Oh so that's that's really good.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: And I can see from being, if you like, uneducated
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: hockey spectator, that some of them definitely had a bit
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: of an older hockey head on them.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: Didn't they.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right there the opposition.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I don't suppose you know much about them, apart from
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: going on their website and having a little Yeah, I suppose.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: That's a good thing about these national competitions is that
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: you actually don't know, but it's all very unknown. I
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: think they're a similar size club to ours. Their lads
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: play in a league, the same you know, similar to
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: what you know, similar to us. It would just be
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: what comes up on the day.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, And no doubt is they've got the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: same structure, which I think they have. They've got four
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: ladies teams and seven men's teams, no doubt some of
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: their juniors that have got senior heads on as well.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Ye yeah, okay, So I don't want us to name anybody,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: but do you think you've got any like budding players
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: coming through in your team?
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: They really do play exceptionally well as a squad or fifteen,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: but there are I think at this age it's hard
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: to tell because of them developing at different times. You
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: know who is going to become a star. But yeah,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: there are absolutely some you know, excellent, excellent hockey players
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: in there.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: And do you find if you've got a pick eleven,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: is it on a bit of a round robbin system
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: or you do kick off with you even best players.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: So in the league we do a bit of round robin,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: you know, depending on the game circumstance, depending who we're
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: playing against in the cup, particularly these last three or
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: four games, we've we started with our best eleven.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, and they and the subs if you like,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: except that if it's a very close game, a very
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: tight game, they might not get on they do.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: I've not known maturity from lads that are just thirteen
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: like it. You know, they completely understand. They're all about
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: the squad and the team and you know, the result,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: the process rather than themselves.
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: It's fantastic.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's great game, gamemanship, discipline anyway, and it
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: should be like that in any sports.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: And at thirteen, that's a very mature way to look
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: at sports. I think it's not about me, it's about
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: the team. Yeah, And do you think it's really sunk
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: in or I mean thirteen fourteen year olds you know,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: you know it might go whatever, But has it really
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: sunk in that they're in a semi final. I think
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: they recognize that it's a pretty big deal. They are
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: the most cool, calm and collective.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: Group of lads. They keep me Corkharma.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Collected, and so I think they understand, you know, that's
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: probably the biggest game they've played in.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: But also they're ready.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, now you're the coach. But behind the scenes,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: so to speak, there must be lots of people helping
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: you out. So I know there's probably too many to mention,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and you don't want to leave anybody out, But tell
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: me what goes into what else do you need to
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: run an under fourteen side apart from a coach.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, I mean so many people. Really, all I'm doing
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: is keeping the cogs turning. But the parents are so
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: dedicated to take their you know, lads to all parts
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: of the country to play hockey.
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: We couldn't do it without them. We have lots of
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: different coaches.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: We have a really good junior leader program within Optimists
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: where the older juniors come down and help coach. The
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: lads really respond well to that because it's a peer
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: almost rather than a coach, you know, umpires that give
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: up their time, you know.
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: For nothing.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: And like I said, we've got seven players in the
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: square who have got hockey parents and it's great to
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: have their expertise.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I did notice that over the years, and I've been
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: reading out these results and it might happen later on
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: in the show. Actually that some of the names that
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: do come around again, you think it must be it's dead.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: But just on that you've hit on that point about
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: umpires for the semi final. Do you have to have
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: independent umpires?
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: We don't club the club, So what we decided to
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: do as a club is a point level one umpires
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: who umpire lots of different standards, not just juniors.
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: So yeah, I'm they'll be great.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good right, Okay, now before we wind up, is
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: there anything else you want to say or any thank you?
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: It's always a tough one, this one, but now's your
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: chance to mention anybody that you really really want to,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: anyone that's helped you. Yeah.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'd like to thank the lads really, because
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: they've made it an absolute privilege. It's not a difficult
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: job because they do such a good job. They're such
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: a dedicated, committed group of lads and they make it
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: thoroughly enjoyable. So the credit goes to them. So you
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: say you've been with these boys as they've grown up.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: They've moved on here every year, so it's two yearly.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: So I started with them when they came into under twelve,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: so I've had them. This is my fourth season being
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: around them.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: And will they stay together for next year's under fourteenth
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: to fifteen sixteen six?
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Yet that always tends to pieter off a little bit
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: in all clubs because they're playing lots of men's hockey.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: But this group I think will be keen to carry
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: on as a group of juniors as well.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: So we'll be entering under sixteen leagues next year.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, so right now, before we go, last little thing,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: tell us when and where the game is and when
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: people have.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: Got to be there on time.
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: Beyond hopefully for an early goal.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: So the game is this Sunday at Three Hills and
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: pushed back as a midday.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Right, brilliant, Adrian, thank you so much for coming in.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I am determined to be down there. I'm really really
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: looking forward to this one. And so I want to
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: wish you and all the under forties all the best,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: and I hope that lots of hockey people are out
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: there listening to this and you just get along there.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Just if you've never watched hockey before, just go down.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: You've never been to the three yearls before, just go down.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Have a look. This is on our doorstep. It's a
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: national competition. So Adrianne, thank you so much.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: Thank well.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I went and watched that game and the boys won
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: five to one. You know, it seems ages ago, but
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: it was such an exciting period for the folks and
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: optimists and for the fourteens. Now the final unfortunately was
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: played in Nottingham. There was no way I could get
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: up there against a team called Wallingford and the result
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: was a resounding a nine to one victory. So once
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: again we've got to get Adrianne back in for an
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: update and see how the boys are doing this season.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Hockey in this town has just become massive, you know,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and I think it's bigger than football, I really do.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: It's such a popular sport.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: If you can go down anytime at the weekend, any
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: weekend almost well when they start again in January, but
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: if you get out to the Three Heels you almost
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: certainly find a hockey game going on.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Righty ho. We've done a bit of sport and now
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: it is time for a bit of music.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: And I just love this track. This is the shape
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Shifters and a Loaders theme. That's the shape Shifters there
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Loaders theme. That's a really rockiness great, that's just what
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: we need for a thirsty lunch time. Okay, so not
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: long till Christmas? Now, have you done all your Christmas shoping?
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Where you be?
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Like me? You start tomorrow? Well, I think the only
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: thing Christmas I've done so far I had a huge
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Christmas dinner yesterday me and missus Ferret. We went up
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: to the Indoor Bowls Club and the lovely Lacy there
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: full house there, and she served up a fantastic It's
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: like a carvery. You know, you've got to be a
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: member to be fair to get the special privilege of
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: going into the Indoor Bowls Club for lunch. But well, yeah,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: it's like a carvery. You just go up and melt
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: yourself and it's just like it was never ending, never ending.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: As far as Christmas is concerned about, the only thing
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I've done so far is I posted my Christmas cards.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: I just got in.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: That's right bang on the deadline for the last day
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: of the second class post, so I got them away.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: They've got a few to deliver by hand. But I
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: do hope to get around to see all the family
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: on Christmas Day and going to Christmas. I think it's
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: about time we had another adopted Christmas song.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: One oh five point nine Radio Focus.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Then this Adopted Christmas song is brought to you by
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Kerry Holloway.
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: Who would like to wush a very merry Christmas and
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: a happy New.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Year Folkstone's radio station Radio Focus.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Then he.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Chris smile you ever Blue.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Blue, Blue Blue Chrismus There from Elvis Presley.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: And that's an interesting adopted song there, because I found
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: out this morning that this song has been adopted by
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: an ady called Kerry Holloway, and I had to find
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: out who or what was business what. But she is
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: actually a friend of Paul Reynolds and she's a listener
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: in America. So how cool is that? So massive?
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: Thank you to you carry for sponsoring that Christmas song.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, so this third interview, I wanted to get these
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: interviews in the start of the show, if you like,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: because I do think they're important. And it really was
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: a tough call. These three interviews that I've done today.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: They're not favorites or anything. It's not for because I
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: found out that anybody that comes through that door wants
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: to speak about this sport once are there's a bit
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: of a slow start, but quite often it's his job
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: to shut them up because they're so passionate about what
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: they do. Now, So if you have got a story,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: a sporty story, it doesn't have to be a result
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: or anything. If you know there's someone behind the scenes
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: of a club that really deserves to mention, you want
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: to come in and speak about them or just tell
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: us about your under thirteens, whatever team or whatever. Then
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: this is a focused in community radio show for you people,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: radio station, for you people out there. So I want
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: you all to just think about it and next year
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: and come along, come into the studio and have a chat. Now.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: The last one, Now, back in August, I tracked down
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: ultra runner Jody Jackman.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: Now this was immediately and I mean immediately.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: It was about five minutes after she'd finished a one
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: hundred mile run along the North downs Way.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: So just have a little listen to what we were
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: talking about.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I've at the Julie Rowe Stadium today because I've
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: come to watch the finish of a fantastic event which
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: we were telling you about last week on Radio Focus.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: And I'm joined now by Jody Jackman, who's just finished
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: one hundred miles on the North downs Way. Now it's
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: a bit of a stupid question, Jody, but how are
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: you quite so quite tired?
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: And we started running at ten past seven yesterday. Wellning
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: and I finished about quarters to twelve this afternoon.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: You've done the South downs Way. How does that compare
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: for today?
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: South Downs Way? Our film was more runnable. There was
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: a lot more grassy areas that were nicer underfoot. North
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: down Way is locks and lots of rocks, incredibly steep
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: hills up and down, and it really really does take
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: it out of.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Later in your body. Yeah.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, so let's say the first half was that comfortable.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: You know, he was in your sort of comfort zone.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I was okay up until about fifty miles and
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: then I think this tired and this hit making. So
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: my nutrition went to plan. I was eating while I
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: was drinking. Well, but I just I just think I
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: got so tired. It was so demanding.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Yes that, Yeah, you pulled through it. I mean what
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: was your thinking about? What helped you?
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Sort of your body's losing power and energy? What goes
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: through your mind?
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: You just focus on checkpoints to checkpoint. You might plan
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: what food you're going to get when you get there.
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: And my husband Alex came out to cruise for some
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: of the earlier checkpoints before we had to leave because
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: he had work today, so I knew sort of after
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: maybe seven miles I would see him again.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: That was always a nice distraction.
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: I also have some friends who were volunteering at checkpoints
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: out on the course, So again knowing that you're going
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: to go into their checkpoint and actually get.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: To see it lift you when you see people that
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: you brilliant.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: I mean all the stuff there, all the volunteers on
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: the checkpoints, and the volunteers at the end. You made
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: it feel so welcome. Whether you know them or not,
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: they really do take good care of you.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: So what do you feel like when you came off
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the trail, when you came in through East will Manor
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: and you thought it's not far and now surely I felt.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: Like the longest four miles in the world at that point.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: It was just a case of power walking, really, and
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: my feet I've got untold blisters on them and they're
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: very swollen and very sore. So yeah, just power walk
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: in get to the finish line.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: Did you have any misshaps on along the way?
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: I fell over twice before twenty five miles. Yeah, I
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: fell over twice in five minutes as well. And one
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: guy finishing today he's said, and I said, how are
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: you still running?
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: I actually heard you hit the.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: Dell really, so yeah, I've got some ice bruised elbows
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: and swollen knees from it.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: And I mean the finishes into this stadium, I mean
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: it's not as if it's jam packed, but there were
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: some lovely people here to see. Did you know your
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: family were coming in?
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: I had asked if my Land was able to come,
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: because my Land's never been to see me do any
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: of my big graces because I'm normally.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: Away out of town.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: So that was really nice that and because of the
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: time of day that I finished, she was able to
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: come and make.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: It, so that was lovely.
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: I managed to finish before my husband started work that
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: he was here, and I knew my kids were here,
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: but I didn't realize my cousin and my aunty were
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: coming here.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Ra lovely and there must be such a lift.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I know it's all over, but just to have smiling,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: happy faces at the end of the race is So
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: what's next? The feet up?
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Are you going to have a risk now?
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: But do you kind of switch off from running there
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: or you've.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: No, I'll probably have of a week or Tuesday break,
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: just do some gentle walk in gentle stretching as part
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: of my recovery, and then just gradually get back to
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: running for fun and build him a distance up.
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: Although I haven't actually got anything else.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: But no, I spoke something to come along though, Jody,
• 31:59

  Speaker 1: tracking and see where you were.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: And I'm so pleased that I got here.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: And I just people can't get inside the mind of
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: an Ultra one hundred miler. So you are an amazing person.

  Speaker 4: And thank you for having a chat.

  Speaker 4: You're welcome, Jody, thank you.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: So there you go.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: That was Jody Jody Jackman after an epic one hundred
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: mile run. She sounded fine, but shortly after that interview
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: she had and I quote a funny turn, went dizzy
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: and felt very sick. The medics were on hand, but
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: they couldn't stabilize her blood pressure, so she was taken
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: just up the road to from the stadium to the
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: William Harvey Hospital. After an overnight stage, she recovered and
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: is currently fine and back running with no side effects.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: She's one very tough lady. So we're down to you, Jody.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: So there you go.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: You know I was looking back through the interviews and
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: over the year I did thirty interviews in this very studio,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: and sometimes there was more than more than one guest
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: of a two or three a time in here been
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: a bit manic. So the point is, if you've got
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: something to tell me about, as soon as you come
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: through the door in the studio, you can just be
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: yourself and just talk about your chosen sport and share
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: and we can share it through the power of radio radio.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Time a bit for a bit more music now, so
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: we've got the Kooks and a naive.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Listen to this.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Nothing mister Kooks there and a song called a naive. Okay,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: so it's time now for some wheelchair basketball news now.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: The Folks and Arrows opponents last Saturday, Hero but he
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: made one hundred and twenty mile journey from Combeton in Cambridgeshire,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: but went home with nothing to show as the Arrows
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: beat them fifty one points to forty three in what
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Becky Potter told me was a very close game. Their
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: next game is away fixed chairs on against Surrey eighty
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: nine as they're called, So that means a trip to
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Guildford on Saturday January fourth, a bit of rugby neues now.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Folks from first fifteen also had a narrow victory when
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: they traveled to Dullig in South London and came away
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: with a thirty six points to thirty three win.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Now that is a bit close.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: This pushed them up from eight to six in the table.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: This Saturday they're at home to Aylesford Bulls. The second
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: fifteen lost fifty four to seventeen away to Tunbridge Wells
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: and this week they're there away again. It's their turn
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: to travel to Aylesford. Okay, some park run updates now

  Speaker 1: first lady home and the first lady in her age category.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: There was no hanging about after the race. They took
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: a well deserved lunch then called the flight back home
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: in time for a night out on the town, so
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: they tell me. Other local runners visited Warwick Racecourse, Ashford
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: and Dover Waterfront. However, two local runners found themselves just
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: forty miles apart on the other side of the world,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: as Adam Hughes completed the Gordon Carmichael Reserve Park Run
• 35:35
