0:22
This is Kevin David, the sports perrit here on one of five point nine
0:26
and on today show. We've got some hockey, some rugby, We've got
0:33
folks on Saints basketball, we've got a report on the pool Hill cross country
0:38
run and an update on the South kN Harrier's Couch to five K. In
0:47
the studio, we were supposed to be joined by two guests, but unfortunately
0:51
one I had a phone call last night. One couldn't make it, so
0:54
we understand that. So that was Ruth from Hot Pod Yoga, but she's
0:59
very keen to come in another time. So in the first hour we would
1:04
be chatting with Adye Dawks, who's the number one PA man at Folkston in
1:08
Victor, and he'd be telling us all about what it's like to volunteer down
1:15
at Folkson in Victor, and be telling us about the folks and in Victor
1:19
Radio and a new set of podcasts that's coming up. In the meantime,
1:25
we got a little bit of music from the Bellamie Brothers and some local music
1:29
with Katie Bradley one oh five point nine Academy a Fair, the Folkston and
1:34
Hyde Sports podcast, every local sport across the district, are Okayte Bradley,
1:51
they're rocking away. Let the good times roll. What a great track that
1:53
was. Now we're joined in the studio by the folks and in Victor PA
1:57
man Adie doalks. Hello, aady, how are you? I'm not too
2:00
bad to put a head cold, but good afternoon and welcome. Yeah,
2:04
well lovely. Now we've spoken to you before on the phone and a socially
2:09
distanced interview, but I'm really glad that you've actually managed to get into the
2:14
studio. So tell us a bit about your PA background and how you got
2:19
the job, bearing in mind that there are a lot of volunteers up there
2:22
and you are a volunteers. Yes, I've been volunteering all since, all
2:27
the way back about twenty and fourteen. I come back from Oxford. I
2:31
was there for twenty years and come back here and obviously we wanted to watch
2:35
my hometown team like I used to. Watched it for about a season and
2:38
then I got in. I asked if anybody wanted to anything they had to
2:46
help. I wanted to throw my hat into the ring. And then Terry,
2:50
who used to do the PA box, was stepping down to watch the
2:54
games. More than do the PA. He stepped down and I said,
2:59
oh. Spoke to Clive Arnold, who was the then Supporters Club chairman,
3:04
said I, you know, I wouldn't mind doing the PAM. I do
3:07
a disco anyway, so I know roughly what sort of records and music to
3:12
play before kickoff, and he was delighted for me to come forward and fill
3:16
Terry's boots so to speak. Oh good. Yeah, so it's quite quite
3:21
a big boost to feel actually, because Terry was a legend down there,
3:24
he'd been there a number of years. But so yeah, everything's move on.
3:29
So the transition wasn't too great for you then, No, not really,
3:32
miss I'm used to talking with them in front of a mic and playing
3:37
music. So and that was easy enough to do during you know, before
3:39
the matches. That sounds easy enough, But the ninety minutes that's a little
3:45
bit of a bit of a different Kettler fish, isn't it. What goes
3:46
on in the ninety minutes? Well, leading up to the game, obviously
3:52
we have the team MWS that comes through, so we have to wait until
3:54
we've got that. Then we go through the teams, let the spects know
4:00
who's playing, who's not playing, etc. Then we play the walkout song,
4:05
which at the moment is liquid data, and then basically we have to
4:10
keep our eyes on the game, knowing the substitutions, how many minutes are
4:15
left, if there's a goal scored, that we have to make sure that
4:18
we get the right goal scorer, which we don't always do, and then
4:25
just relay the messaging on to these spectators. Really all right, and you're
4:30
right actually, because it must throw a different light on the game rather than
4:32
being a spectator. And we've had this conversation before, but it's I always
4:36
think it's like being a photographer. You've got kind of you're focusing on the
4:40
game, but you're not on the game. You know, when you get
4:42
home you sort of shout your head off because they scored a goal. Yeah,
4:46
I mean you have to obviously be a little bit of a professional.
4:49
For instance, when the other teams score, you have to make you know,
4:54
tell them who scored and the score is. And it's really sometimes it
5:00
can be a bit. Now. I've looked at some of those team sheets
5:02
and when you announced the teams, you get a team from South London and
5:08
they're a bit some of them a bit tongue twisters, aren't they some of
5:10
them? Yes, I dread it when we played teams like Carrying Gay Barrel
5:15
or Renfield. They've got some choice names. Yeah. But you've got a
5:20
new lad to come and joined you on the team just recently, haven't you.
5:24
Yeah, young Charlie, he's he come along. I've not been very
5:29
well and I needed somebody to fill my boots while I was in hospital.
5:32
And he's done a fantastic job with me. He taken over the reins as
5:38
well from doing the radio that we do. And yeah, he's coming and
5:44
he's he's filled my boots quite quite nicely. Well, I've not been there.
5:47
He's a good attachment to the team actually, I mean at this moment
5:50
in time, I must have met that I will step in if you're short.
5:54
But he's taken a lot of pressure off me actually, because for those
5:58
of you that listening, I do go down to folks in Victor and spend
6:00
a lot of time in the PA box. And it's always best to have
6:03
two sets of eyes, isn't it. Definitely definitely, because we've often said
6:09
oh, the Smith School with the girl and I say no, no,
6:11
it was Jackson. And then then there's this thing called the Football League web
6:15
pages because somebody with bearing in mind that we are at one end of the
6:18
ground and on a Tuesday evening when you're playing under lights and someone scores up
6:23
at the other end, it is a bit of a job to see it.
6:25
It is. Yes, So I hope the new directors are out there
6:29
listening because we want a really nice, warm, insulating questbooks in the middle
6:33
of the halfway line up. That would be lovely. Yeah, So we're
6:39
going to talk about it later. But you did mention about your commentaries,
6:43
so we talk about that later. And so I mean, what else do
6:47
you do for the club as a volunteer. We well, we personally I
6:54
do the match commentary for folks in Victor folks in Victor Radio, which we
7:00
do at the moment. We just cover the away games and we have listeners
7:03
all over the over in the world, to be honest. We have the
7:05
people in Norway, We've got a supporters Club branch out there they listening.
7:12
We've got people from Malta, South Africa and New Zealand that tune in regularly
7:16
to the show. Amazing, and you know that's great. I mean the
7:20
person from Malta actually was in folks And not so long ago, and he
7:26
came into the PA box and introduced himself and thanked us for doing the commentary
7:31
and him being able to keep up with what's happening for his local team.
7:35
Actually, some of those countries you mentioned it must be a bit tough because
7:38
the time zone, especially New Zealand, what have you. In South Africa.
7:44
Never think of that, having to set your alarm in the middle to
7:46
listen to folks in Victor. Oh, that's great. Yeah, So what
7:51
else do you do for the club? What else I do? I run
7:56
a bing go for them as well. We do that of rates, funds
8:00
for the supporters Club initially for and then it obviously goes to the club eventually
8:05
when they they require money for something, and the Supporters Club then sponsor it
8:11
or just pay for whatever they need. What else do I do anything?
8:16
They really want me to? Really? Right? Okay, we'll tell you
8:20
what because you're having to think there, we're gonna what we're gonna do.
8:22
We're gonna play a bit of music and we're going to come back. But
8:24
I think you might like this one. Ad specials there in a ghost town,
8:48
now, Adrian, that's a bit of a special song for you,
8:50
isn't it? Oh? It certainly is. Yeah. I love the special
8:52
my favorite band, and but sadly we lost one of them recently, didn't
8:58
we. There might have been a while going now, Yeah. Yeah,
9:01
it was almost a year to the day when Terry Hall unfortunately passed away with
9:05
pantrack pantry attic cancer. Unfortunately it's no longer with us. Yeah, okay,
9:11
And do you think that's the Specials? Have they folded or are they
9:16
just gone into doing other stuff? I do. I know you love your
9:22
reggae and your scar but there's nowadays not just for that genre of music.
9:26
But there are so many tribute bands out there, aren't they? And I
9:30
must admit they are good quality a lot. There's some fantastic ones out there.
9:33
The Madness and Specials tribute bands are exceptional, some of them at the
9:37
moment. This weekend I'm off to Coventry, home of Two Toned, and
9:43
they've got a dance Craze tribute weekend starting tomorrow and then Saturday, where the
9:52
tribute bands of the Specials and Madness and Yeah, home of two Tone.
9:58
Roddy Radiation of the Specials lead guitarist is also performing, So there'll be a
10:03
few a few two tone heroes of mine there this weekend, which I'm looking
10:07
forward to. Good. On that note, you're heavily involved with the Scarborough
10:11
Festival, aren't you. Yes, I am in Dad one of the organizers
10:16
there with John Simms who organizes it, and Amanda Murphy. We we're all
10:22
dedicated to scar music and putting on the weekend in September for all of you
10:28
to come down and listen to some decent scar music and reggae etc. And
10:35
does that a tract? We'll have a way that people travel to come down
10:39
to you all over We've got people from up North as well Scotland. They
10:45
come from all over the country, which is great. We try to put
10:48
on a decent artist each year. But this year we've got Dandy Livingston,
10:54
the old Trojan Warhorse so to speak. He's joining us from Jamaica. He's
11:03
flying over especially really for that. Yeah, Oh that's great? Is that?
11:07
Is that? Does that sort of thing happen very often in down at
11:11
Scarborough? You know? Yeah? I mean we've had did we have?
11:15
I can't remember. We flew somebody else over a couple of years ago.
11:18
I can't remember. That the three tenors, we've had them here and we
11:22
flew them over. Daddy Livingston was supposed to be coming during COVID, but
11:28
obviously that never happened because he wasn't able to fly. So this year is
11:31
the first year has been able to join us. So we're really looking forward
11:35
to that. So just remind us when is that. That's the second week
11:39
end in September, which I believe is the thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth.
11:43
Okay, that's right, yeah, So okay, well it's a long way
11:46
off, so I'm sure we've been mentioning that between now and then. Stick
11:50
him with the music theme and bingo if you like, And we spoke about
11:54
your volunteer and for the folks in Victor Supporters Club, which a bingo is
12:01
bingo still popular. It is very popular. And it's not just an old
12:05
people's you know, people suggest seem to think old people go to bingo.
12:11
It's not like that. The majority now is under forty undred thirties, so
12:16
you know it is not just old and you know it's not just bingo in
12:22
numbers. We do bingo with music as well. Well, that's what I
12:24
picked up on that one explain to me, what is it like what I've
12:28
seen advertised rock and roll bingo? Is it like that? Exactly the same?
12:33
Yes? So what is what is rock and roll bingo? Then to
12:37
well, basically it's exactly the same as bingo, but you just replace the
12:39
numbers with records music and then you have to guess the title and the artist.
12:50
It's all done on a bit of paper. So for instance, if
12:52
you've got like you just played specials there ghost Town, if you've got that
12:56
on your piece of paper, you mark that off and then you if you've
13:01
got a line, the shout four corners, you give a shell and if
13:03
you give a full house, you shout and then you win a decent prize.
13:07
Yeah. Good. So is that down to you to organize and you
13:13
know, pick songs and stuff like that. Yes, you can do it
13:16
that way, yeah, sort of. Mostly you buy a kit and you
13:20
can they send you a CD with it, and then you've got the cards
13:24
et cetera, which obviously replaces the bingo books and you just say you just
13:28
mark it off and it's it's very easy and quite enjoyable. Once the ladies
13:33
have had a one or two percos they all sing along. It's quite good,
13:37
good evening. We've got one coming up on the tenth of February.
13:41
Tenth of February, that's not too far away. So how do people find
13:46
out about that? They can do that on our Folks in Victor Bingo site.
13:52
You can look through on there and then that actual one is being done
13:54
at Saint Joseph's Hall, Churchill in Narrabeen Road. That's where the venue is.
14:01
Unfortunately, we couldn't have the folks and bar at the time that dug
14:03
out because there is an alternative thing on that night. So unfortunately we couldn't
14:09
have the venue, so we've had to move it to say Saint Joseph's Church
14:13
Hall in Narrabin Road. Right now, I must just pick up on this
14:18
because I think bingo is going to be very special in your memories in the
14:22
future. Because I saw a little clip of you game there on one knee
14:28
bingo session. What was that all about? There? Well, I met
14:31
my fiance through the bingo. She started to come and we obviously we spoke,
14:37
and then we went out for a drink and went out for a couple
14:41
of meals, and we started going out with each other and it got to
14:46
the Christmas bingo, and I decided to propose to her. We had a
14:52
music bingo round, and I must admit I fixed the game so there would
14:56
only be one winner, which was and I told her at the start if
15:05
she was to win the bingo, we had a box A, B or
15:09
C, and inside the box would be a mystery prize. And I told
15:13
her to pick box A if she won, knowing full well that she would
15:16
win this particular game, and I told all the people there beforehand. When
15:20
she wasn't there, so she picked box eight, expecting to get maybe a
15:24
cash prize or a decent prize, and when lo and behold, she opened
15:28
it up and inside was our love Heart with marry Me on it. Oh
15:33
yeah yeah. And she opened that, looked at it and then thought what's
15:41
this sort of thing? And then I popped the ring out and got down
15:43
on one of the two half song it must be Love, and proposed to
15:48
her. Did you manage to get up again? Only just? Well?
15:54
I must have been that. We went to your engagement party on Saturday and
15:56
there was a great crowd there and it was lovely see everyone to join herself
16:00
and your fiance Sam looks so happy, so Yeah, she's made me very
16:04
happy as well, especially after what we've been through. Better. Mean,
16:10
it's no secret you've you've been through a really tough time. You've thought cancer
16:12
and you've come out the other end. So for you, your life's really
16:15
changing, isn't it It is. I mean obviously if you've had cancer,
16:21
or you know somebody that's had cancer, you know how it impacts on your
16:23
life, and you do have different aspects on life once you've had that,
16:27
and you know you want to live each day as it is your last because
16:33
you might not wake up tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you must
16:36
learn a lot a lot of lessons learned there. Okay, let's switch it
16:38
back to the football now. So folcusing in Victor Supporters Club and PA,
16:45
So are you short of volunteers down there? Yes, we're always sure.
16:49
We can always do with a couple more people. Some of us aren't as
16:53
young as what we used to be, so we you know, we we
16:56
do need some fresh new blood. It doesn't matter how hard you are,
17:00
but there's always something to do at the club. We are, as you
17:03
said, volunteers. We give our time. The club would like to pay
17:07
us, but most of us just saying you know, no, we do
17:10
it for the love of the club. And yeah, I mean, especially
17:14
on match day, there's always something to do, and there's always so how
17:18
can people what do they do? Do they just come down a match day
17:22
and make themselves known. Yeah, I mean you can come into the PA
17:23
box and I can put you in the right direction. John Law who's normally
17:29
there on a match day. He organizes the away travel for the supporters club
17:33
and he does a lot of work. Won't thank me for saying it,
17:37
but you know on a match day he's there cleaning the pigeon muck off of
17:44
these seats and yeah, putting the bins out, emptying the bins at the
17:48
end. You know, as I say, there's always something to do,
17:51
and he's him and his crew just keep the update of the ground. But
17:56
obviously more people that help the better. Okay, brilliant. It's been great
18:00
to get you, actually get you in the studio. As I say,
18:03
in the past, we spoke on the phone and we did a socially distanced
18:07
interview and it's really nice for you to come in and tell a little bit
18:11
about the club and just what the club needs people like like yourself and like
18:15
John Laws and we would really love to see plenty more people down there.
18:19
It would be nice. Okay, Adrian, all the best, thank you
18:22
very much, You're welcome. Thank you, Caddie Stowns and Nights on Broadway.
18:33
Okay, some a bit of football news now focused in Victor before Saturday's
18:37
kickoff, had on paper a really tough task on their away fixture against Enfield
18:42
are in the playoff places, but as Brian Clough once said, you don't
18:47
play the game on paper, you play it on grass and the end result
18:49
was an excellent too nil victory, pushing them up the table. So have
18:55
a little listener now because our men on spot we mentioned him earlier, Charlie
18:57
Charlie Prescott, who's an addition to the PA team. He was at the
19:00
game, he did the commentary, the waiting away game commentary and he sent
19:06
us in this report you joined me at the Q two stadium where folks in
19:10
it to travel to take on Enfield Town in an issue in Premier Division fixture
19:14
folks. That made just one change coming into this game. With Jordan and
19:15
Babio dropping to the bench, Jason Fredno came in for his first start in
19:19
Black and Umber. Enfield started the brighter the two teams and as an early
19:23
ball whipped him from the right hand side, one of the Enfield Town center
19:26
halfs got up high in headed goalwards and Joe Carmen was scrambling backwards, but
19:30
he got a big claw out to his right hand side to tip it round
19:33
the post and folks And survives an early scare and it was still Neil Neil
19:37
in the game and only took folks In thirteen minutes to get going. It
19:41
was a long ball forward from the back. Target man Tom Derry got it
19:44
down onto his right foot and slotted calmly into the right hand corner and folks
19:48
And the Victors took a shot lead at the q E two stadium and it
19:51
was Folksing Vic to one Enfield Town nil on the thirteenth minute. It took
19:55
just ten more minutes for Folksing to double their advantage. Derry again was out
19:59
on the right hand side looking to whip the ball in towards the penalty area,
20:02
but it was a good block at their post. Black block felt just
20:03
as far as Addie Cole, who had some space inside the penalty aer he
20:07
drove towards the byline cut it back and none other than Scott hard was there
20:10
at the fire poster turned it in. He took a whack off the posts
20:12
for his troubles, but he didn't care. It was folksing it to two
20:15
Enfield Town. Nil Folkson had to survive a quick reply from Enfield Town.
20:21
There's another ball in off a corner from that right hand side and Nollie Knight
20:23
peeled away at the fire posts and he had the whole goal to waiyhim out.
20:26
Joe Coleman was stuck in no man's land and he put it wide at
20:30
the right hand post, so Folks and survived another scare and they're headed in
20:33
at halftime too. Nell up Enfield throw everything at them. In the second
20:37
half. Joe Payne kept coming forward with a host of long froes from either
20:41
side, but it was well marshaled by Jake Goodman, Callum Davis and Jason
20:45
Frederner. Folks instead had an outlet with Derry and Smith upfront and they caused
20:48
problems steal from Field Town, with Joe Payne, Scott Thomas and Hers and
20:52
Alvez all on bookings for bringing them, foxing the men down folksing them to
20:56
survive for the rest of the second half, with Jason Fredern there picking up
21:00
folks of vic to radios. Man of the Match six hundred and twenty eight
21:03
came out at the Queensenlizabeth Stadium. That's where I'm reporting from. It was
21:06
me Charlie Prescott from the QUT Stadium where the final score is nfil Town New
21:11
Folks in Victor two. Well, a big thank you there, Charlie.
21:12
That's a great report and it's nice to have out on the spot reporters.
21:17
Now this is working out really well now because you know we're trying to build
21:21
up an entourage of reporters to bring any sport. Really they can send us
21:26
in a voicemail and we'll push it out anyway. That game that pushed in
21:29
Victor up into sixteenth place, three places and seven points above the relegation zone.
21:34
Tuesday evening's game home to Craig Wanderers was postponed due to a frozen pitch.
21:38
So this Saturday is an away game to the only team that play in
21:42
Whiteheart Lane, that's harringay Burrough. Did you know that Totham Hotspurs postal address
21:48
for their ground is actually in high Road, Tottenham so there's a little claim
21:52
to fame there for Harringey Burrough. Now the teams have met twice before,
21:56
and not Tottenham, that's Harringey. They've met twice before, once in the
22:00
FA Trophy where Harringay came out on top in the penalty shootout after two all
22:04
in ninety minutes, then one all in the league back in November. Harringay
22:10
are currently in that relegation zone in twentieth place out of twenty two, so
22:14
Victor will definitely be looking for three points now high toown. Last Saturday they
22:19
faced the biggest game of the season when they welcomed Chorley from the National League
22:23
North to Reachfield's for the fourth Round Trophy. So let's listen to this man
22:29
on the spot there. This is Tom Illerby. It finished Hidetown one surely
22:33
too in the last thirty two stage of the FA Trophy at Reachfield Stadium on
22:37
Saturday, bringing a historic FA Trophy run to an end in front of seven
22:41
hundred and thirty fans. The atmosphere is electric in the first half was extremely
22:47
even hide matches. Strike first, Aaron Barnes sent a ball to the near
22:51
post to Jake Embury, who slotted it into the far corner, much to
22:53
the light for the Hive fans. National League's North side Chorley managed a level
22:57
of scores on the stroke of halftime when Jack Hazlehurst got himself into a good
23:02
position and placed his shot perfectly. Hithkeeper Steve Phillips managed to get a hand
23:07
to it, but there was nothing he could do to stop his equalizer.
23:10
The second half began in a similar fashion to the first, with both teams
23:12
putting up a strong fight. It was surely who managed to take the lead
23:17
in the second half on seventy three minutes as a free kick was sent into
23:19
a box and was nodded in by Jack Sampson past the blindsided Steve Phillips.
23:25
Hythe continued to fight for their lives in the final stage of the game,
23:27
but they were unable to create any cutting head chances to make it to too
23:32
The full time whistle blue to mark the end of an FA Trophy run which
23:34
saw Hive beat three teams from leagues above them, making history and giving their
23:38
fans plenty to cheer about. Big thanks to you there, Tom and for
23:42
that high I report he was their pitch side. Tuesday evening away game against
23:47
Lancing in front of just one hundred and eighty five fanes saw hythe go to
23:51
kneel down within fifty five minutes. They managed to pull one back in the
23:55
fifty eighth minute, but lost the game by two goals to one. And
23:57
on Saturday it's a home fixture against Earth and Bilverdire with a three pm clickoff.
24:03
But please everybody, if you're go into any fixture, I can't emphasize
24:06
this enough with the way the weather's going, and please check social media before
24:08
you sit out. Now, Hawkinstown they had a game on Saturday, so
24:14
sit back and listen to this report from Bradley Kilgeriff. Hawkins Town Football Club
24:19
looked to continue their fine form when we traveled to Stansfeld, Oxford and Bermsey
24:23
Saturday. The Hawks looked a bit shaky for the first five minutes and seemed
24:27
to struggle to organize themselves. Thankfully, this was short lived and we finally
24:32
started to get our feet into the game. Max Cooper managed to find the
24:34
goal for the Hawks seven minutes into the first half. This was also Cooper's
24:38
first start for the club. The boys continued to create opportunities and again in
24:42
the twenty fourth minute, Captain Luke Greeve netted the second goal off the afternoon.
24:48
Stansfeld managed a few opportunities, however really didn't test our keeper and at
24:52
halftime the Hawks found himself in a two nail lead. A perfect start into
24:56
the second half saw Tyler Clements give us free goal lead and then two minutes
25:00
later Stansfeld was a ward of the penalty they converted to make the score free
25:06
one. Probably the highlight of the game. On the seventy fifth minute,
25:10
Jack Taylor found himself one on one with the keeper and could have easily converted.
25:15
However, unselfishly set up Leadahara, who was unmarked in the box,
25:18
to make the score lone four to one, a great display of teamwork.
25:22
Hawkins continued to have chances, however, it was Stansfeld who scored again in
25:26
the ninety third minute to make it four two due to lapp of concentration from
25:30
the midfield. However, this wrapped the pot game up for the boys and
25:33
we took the three points. Man of the Match was awarded to Carson phil
25:36
Pott, who was quality in the middle of the park today, got and
25:38
assist and got back when needed. The Hawks face i'd hear at home Saturday
25:44
for a two pm kickoff at Hawkings Pavilion. Any sport would be welcome and
25:48
please do check out our social media channels for further information up the Hawks.
25:52
Well, the big thank you to Bradley there for that great report to keep
25:55
the coming in. Bread and Saturday's opponent's Idle Hill are fourth in the table
26:00
whereas Hawkins are on our joint top so it looks to be a pretty tough
26:03
game now. Lastly, bit of football news. On Sunday the folks in
26:07
the Victor Disability team traveled to Faversham to play in a Kent Disability Football League
26:11
tournament. Now they have two sides, a Premiership side and a Championship side.
26:17
The Premiership side were a man sure actually and played five against six,
26:21
losing one nil to three sides. They lost one nil to Southeast Goals Maidstone
26:26
and Chatham and Drew Neil Neil with King's Hill. Man of the match for
26:30
the Premiership side was Jared Prescott, who I do believe is Charlie's brother.
26:34
The Championship Drew Neil Neil with Maidstone Silver lost one nil to Charlton. Drew
26:41
Neil Neil with Southeast goals and lost one nil to Maidstone Copper, so not
26:45
many goals about them during the day, but man of the match and the
26:48
championship team went to Steve Lake. Manager Garret Wilson's ere he couldn't knock the
26:53
lads despite not winning any games, which is a bit unusual. Normally they
26:56
go to Faversham and they have a really good record, so perhaps they're just
27:02
not used to playing with each other because of the shuffle round that they had
27:06
to do. Their next fixture is an eleven a side game away at walter
27:10
Mabbe. A win could see them top of the table. Okay, that's
27:14
enough football nown worn out listening to all worlds reports. Let's have a little
27:18
bit of music now from the Rhythmics. Would I lie to you Eurhythmics?
27:27
There? Would I lie to you? Time of a bit of rugby news
27:32
now from the folks and Rugby Club. The first fifteen had an excellent forty
27:36
five points to fifteen away victory against Medway, keeping them top of the table
27:41
three points ahead of seven Oaks, who have a game in hand. This
27:44
weekend is a home game against westcom Park who are currently in fourth spot.
27:48
The Seconds narrowly lost home to than It Wonderers by nineteen points to seventeen,
27:52
putting them in the fourth spot out of ten teams. This week they are
27:56
a way to Canterbury Deacons who are eighth. The third team suffer the thirty
28:00
six points to five defeat against New ash Green, seeing them in ninth place
28:03
out of ten teams. That's not so good. And on Saturday it's home
28:07
to Sheppey who are third. Now the only game that I have to mention
28:14
is that the Ladies. The ladies don't play very often, but they've got
28:15
a fixture away on Sunday. They are a way to Maystone. That's a
28:19
two o'clock kickoff, so good up to the ladies there now. On Sunday
28:22
morning, I was returning back from the pool Hill cross country race which I
28:27
attended in Sandlin. I'll tell you a bit more about that later on in
28:30
the show. When I came past the folks in Rugby Club, I came
28:33
up I think they called it black House Hill and as you come up it
28:37
was just to seem to be a hive of activity over on the right there
28:41
the two pitches across the road. It seemed that the minis, the six,
28:45
seven, eight and eleven year olds were hosting Canterbury for training and Canterbury
28:49
always come over mob handed. The under ten's had a triangular fixture against Dover
28:53
and Deal, the under twelves had a Kent Cup game, and the under
28:57
nines, thirteen's and fifteen he's had training. The place was absolutely mobbed.
29:03
I was a bit gutted really because I couldn't pop in there and I had
29:06
another commitment. So I want to big thank you, big the shout out
29:10
to Ollie Smith there, who's part of the team up there that looks after
29:12
the youngsters for let them let me know about that. And so parents,
29:17
if you've got any youngsters the fancy a game of rugby and want to try,
29:21
please just go to the rugby club or their Facebook chide page and drop
29:23
a message. Olli Smith or anyone else will pick it up. Coming up.
29:29
Now we've got Oh, it's a great I haven't don this one for
29:32
ages. Don't play your rock and roll for me by Smoky. You know,
29:41
I haven't heard that track for a long long time. It's a as
29:45
Adrian said this to here, and they don't make them like that anymore.
29:48
Okay, a little bit of a netball news now. This came in this
29:52
morning actually because the Netball League play on a Wednesday night, and a big
29:56
thanks to Hannah Palmer for sending this in. And I'll just read you out
29:59
the result as they've come in last night. Well it was very very cold,
30:03
but the pitches were playable. The Scorpions beat Ice thirty six points to
30:07
twenty. The Jets beat Vipers thirty two points to eighteen, the Tornadoes beat
30:14
Black Widows forty one points to eight and Woodpeckers beat Air thirty five points to
30:19
seventeen. Okay, so taking us up to the news now, we've got
30:23
a bit of haul and oes private eyes, So don't go away, put
30:27
your feet up, make a cup of tea, have a little biscuit and
30:30
I'll see you after the news. The Folkston and Hide Sports podcast every local
30:42
sport across the district. So welcome back to the second hour of the show.
30:55
This is Kevin Day on the Folks on a high Sports show and one
30:57
a high point nine Academy FM. Coming up in this hour, we have
31:08
got some hockey, some Saints basketball news. We've got a little report on
31:18
the Paul Hill cross country run and a little update on South Kent Harriers.
31:23
They started their couch to five k last week. We find out it's week
31:30
two. Find out see if they've all turned up for the second week.
31:41
In the meantime, let's listen to the Beatles and day Tripper had a bit
31:49
of local music from Colleidophone. Glidophone then and what You're made of now.
32:10
I met the boys from Colidophone back in the day. It was back in
32:15
the day when, if you like, my running days were over and I
32:20
took upon myself to have another challenge, and this challenge was to walk.
32:24
I did a walk. I'm sure I've told you this before, but yeah,
32:28
but you know what we like to go on about it. I did
32:31
a walk from London to Brighton, one hundred kilometers sixty two miles, no
32:37
stop in our hotels or anything, through the day and through the night.
32:40
And I was I'm sure at the time, myself and Adam Dowling was with
32:45
academy. Adam is now he's gone to hire things. He's on three counties
32:52
of Radio Kent in the afternoon, so he's doing really well for himself.
32:54
Anyway, myself and Adam we put a concert on at the Tower Theater and
32:59
Adam knew these guys from Collidophone and they came along and did a set and
33:02
they are absolutely amazing, they really were. And a couple of them came
33:06
from Maidstone and I became friends with them, and we always at the time,
33:12
I think Maidstone and Folks them were pretty much in the same league,
33:15
and there was a couple of games there where they came down and we had
33:19
a great time. So good luck to you boys from the Colidophone. Nice
33:22
to hear that you're still making music, all right. So time for some
33:25
what we've got now some basketball news, folks on Saints basketball teams were busy
33:30
once again at the weekend. The under eighteen to beat Seven Oaks seventy two
33:35
points to forty four, placing them second in the league with three games in
33:38
hand over top teen Graves and Spartans. The under sixteen girls narrowly beat Brentwood
33:44
Fire by fifty five points to fifty two, and that is absolutely really minimum
33:49
in the game of basketball, just three points between them anyway, That kept
33:52
them top of the league at one point clear of South End Scorpions. Now
33:55
I couldn't find a result for the under twelves, but I can tell you
33:59
that they are top of their league, whilst the under fourteens are fourth in
34:02
the table and have two games in hand over top teams Kent Panthers. Now
34:07
the Saints are holding a February half term camp, which is a nine till
34:10

34:24

34:29
up now, we've got two classic tracks. You're going to love these.
34:31
You've got the Suite Playing the Ballroom, Blitz and l John and Kiki D
34:36
Don't God Break in my Heart you'd be fourty there, I got you,
34:52
babe. Now our time for a hockey roundup. Last Saturday, the Folks
34:58
and Optimist fielded NILT twelve teams. As per usual, It's amazing some of
35:04
it all up. It went like this, played twelve one six drawn,
35:07
one lost, five goals four, twenty four goals four and twenty two goals
35:14
against so pretty even Stephen weekend all round, the Men's first beat burnt Ash
35:20
three to one, keeping them top of the table. The Seconds had a
35:22
closed victory beat in k Sports three goals to two. The third beat Blackheath
35:28
Heathens a four nil jack see Grave got one and Sorry See Grove. Jack
35:32
Ce Grove got one and Freddie Brown got a hat trick. The Fourths lost
35:37
two to one to seven Oaks, The fifth beat Sutton Valance four to two.
35:42
The sixth team lost one nil to Old Willis That's the Old Williamsonians to
35:45
you, and the seventh team had a walkover victory against Grevesham and Welcome.
35:51
The Ladies First added an excellent three nil win over Matstone, keeping them joint
35:54
top. The second threw won all with seven Oaks, and the third,
35:59
fourth and fifth all Saday lost the Saturday another twelve fixtures. The Men's first
36:04
are away to Herne Bay, the Ladies First are at home to Woking,
36:07
and the Ladies fifteen, the team I like to keep an eye on,
36:10
are hoping to bounce back from the last week's defeat when they play Faversham at
36:15
home. However, they are still top of the table. After an excellent
36:17
first half of the season, three points clear with a game in hand over
36:22
Saturday's opponents. You've guessed it, Faversham, so a win would make that
36:25
gap even wider. And a big thank you to Amy for the Hockey Club
36:30
for supplying all that information. And it's worth mentioning that it's not all about
36:34
hockey. The Optimists are support in the Folks and Food Bank throughout January.
36:37
There'll be a box on the bar on Saturday at the Three Hills for donations.
36:43
So while un to all the Opts for supporting a great local cause much
36:45
needy at this time of year. And if you ever boored in wants something
36:49
to do and you're just watching a bit of sport, perhaps you've never watched
36:52
hockey before, then go down the Three Hills almost any Saturday because there's bound
36:55
to be games on. We have twelve teams at least well six of them
36:59
have got a bit at home, and you can get you in. There's
37:01
such a friendly bunch down there and you really will have a great time and
37:07
you can work the beauty of the Three Hills. You can watch the game
37:09
from the nice warm bar looking out through the window. Okay, so time
37:14
for a bit of music. Now we've got coming up. We've got Shallama
37:16
and George Harrison. Well another song Loving for a very very long time,
37:39
and it's a classic track from the sixties. I reckon it was about the
37:44
mid sixties and about sixty four sixty five. I remember that as I was
37:49
growing up. Shows you how old I am. Now, Okay, time
37:52
for a bit more sporty stuff. Now, Sunday morning, I attended the
37:57
pool Hill cross country Run. Now, Paul was a focused running club member
38:01
who sadly passed away in two thousand and four. But the club follow a
38:07
route that Paul, myself and several running colleagues used to run back in the
38:10
day. Now, at a certain point in this run, there's a huge,
38:15
huge farm gate and which Paul, now he wasn't the tallest of chaps,
38:21
he attempted to climb over, resulting in him falling in off the top
38:23
of the gate into a big pile of mud. Now this story is told
38:28
every year for the sake of new runners, because the next runner that followed
38:30
Paul just clicked on the latch and the gate opened. Calls in absolute ructions
38:37
of laughter. There's now a couple of memorial stones up there by the gate
38:40
in his memory, and it really is a good fun event. Now my
38:45
running days are over, but I must admit that I was really envious of
38:49
the runners as they came back, big rosy red cheeks, some covered in
38:52
mud, laughing and joking. It really is something I really really do miss.
38:57
And Paul's widow, Christine put on a lovely spread of tea cakes and
39:00
other delights, helped by my partner Sue Elkins. It's a fixture on the
39:04
calendar which all of the runners look forward to. This year, the number
39:07
reached about thirty three thirty four, which was really good turnout to be fair,
39:12
a lot of people still running and a lot of spectators. They're remembering
39:15
Paul. It was a really good fun morning, so a big thank you
39:19
to all those who took part. Now southkn Harry has started a couch to
39:22
five k last week and coach Karen Quinn told me that there was another great
39:28
turnout for the second week and they've got a few extras, which is good.
39:31
I won't be called in on Karen every week, but I just wanted
39:35
to know how the second week went. Karen is going to keep me in
39:37
the loop and said she'd be sending me a big report when they finished the
39:40
ten week course. And I think the ultimate goal for these people that have
39:45
gone from zero to five k will be to run the NonStop for the Folkston
39:50
Park Run. Okay, time for a bit of music now, and it's
39:53
the crush test dummies, Brian Adams. They can't stop this thing. We
40:04
started thirty nineties, about ninety one, I think. Okay, so let's
40:09
just recap about the London Marathon now. I'm on a bit of a mission.
40:14
I want to find runners that have never ever done a marathon, but
40:17
I've got into the London for the very first time, so that's two boxes
40:22
to tick. The very first marathon, the very first time they've got a
40:27
London entry, and of course the very important fact that they're running for a
40:30
charity. Now, have you meet all those conditions? Please drop me a
40:34
line because as we come up to the marathon, which is on April to
40:37
twenty first, I do believe I shall be leading up to the marathon do
40:43
a marathon special and I'd like to hear from people. I have got a
40:45
few lined up, but I could do with more. You never know,
40:50
it's great to hear these stories of people are just having to go and doing
40:53
something special and raising the money, raising money for charity, putting themselves,
40:58
stepping outside the box and doing something really special. Okay, a little song
41:02
now from day clock five and this is the runout tune. You think he's
41:07
pretty sure it's for Crystal Palace Academy, the Folkston and Hyde sports podcast,
41:15
every local sport across the district. They clock five. They are are glad
41:29
all over. I remember seeing them at the Tottenham Royal. If I've been
41:31
to the Tottenham rules probably knocks it down. Now that was back in the
41:34
sixties. Oh dear, it was a long time ago. Okay, well
41:37
that's it from me this week. Next week at the moment, I've no
41:40
guests, so I should be on the lookouts. On Sunday morning, I'll
41:45
be freezing cold on the mic at the Canterbury ten. Now that is a
41:47
sold out race, so I don't know. There's over a thousand there,
41:50
and I'm sure that some of my potential candidates for a London marathon will be
41:54
there, so I hope they're going to come up and say hello. So
41:59
stay warm if you watching an outside match or outside anything really and keep an
42:02
eye on social media for any cancellations due to the weather. So stay warm
42:07
and I'll see you all next time.
