REPORTS ON LOCAL CRICKET, NETBALL, DISABILITY FOOTBALL, WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL, A 200 MILE RUNNING EVENT AND A RECAP OF MY CYPRUS HOLIDAY · The Folkestone & Hythe Sports Podcast

0:14
Speaker 1: This is Kevin Sports very daily here back in the
0:17
Speaker 1: chair after three weeks in Cyprus. Well, we only got
0:29
Speaker 1: back last night, very late, and you know it's not
0:33
Speaker 1: a good into holidays. It the planes delayed forty five
0:36
Speaker 1: minutes and we hit overnight diversions. The twenty three was
0:41
Speaker 1: shut and we diverted off the twenty five around Maidstone
0:49
Speaker 1: right back and focus then about bus three in the morning.
0:52
Speaker 1: So not much sport prepared for today. But bear with me.
0:56
Speaker 1: If your radio goes quiet, just give it a kick
0:59
Speaker 1: and wake me up. But we had a great time
1:02
Speaker 1: and I'll be telling you a little bit about that
1:04
Speaker 1: later on. But I do have some sport news. I
1:06
Speaker 1: did do a little bit of research. I've got reports
1:10
Speaker 1: on the local cricket scene, some netball results, the disability football,
1:16
Speaker 1: the wheelchair basketball news, and the story about a man
1:20
Speaker 1: called Carl who, as I speak, is running a two
1:24
Speaker 1: hundred mile e race. So it's never dull here at radio, folks,
1:30
Speaker 1: and especially when it comes to the sport anyway. The
1:41
Speaker 1: first track up on the playlist is one of my
1:44
Speaker 1: all time favorites. I Must Have Met is a cover
1:48
Speaker 1: version of a fantastic song made famous by the Small
1:52
Speaker 1: faces that this is m people's version of Itchy Koo
1:56
Speaker 1: Park the Bridge ASA nineteen ninety four. You did, it's
2:58
Speaker 1: a coop out there, But I I wass have this
3:00
Speaker 1: argument with myself. Do I prefer the original or the
3:04
Speaker 1: cover version? Now some songs you just the original every time?
3:08
Speaker 1: But you know what, that one's pretty close. I love
3:10
Speaker 1: that song. Okay. Now, then while I was away, right, yeah, okay,
3:16
Speaker 1: I kept in touch, but I didn't want to do
3:18
Speaker 1: too much because I wasn't holiday, you know. And what
3:22
Speaker 1: do I see? That the Sports Center is due to
3:25
Speaker 1: reopen in conjunction with Roger Dehannt and the Sports Trust?
3:29
Speaker 1: I mean, what good news is that for this town?
3:33
Speaker 1: I mean, how many people were excuse me, how many
3:36
Speaker 1: people were devastated when these news about the sports Center
3:40
Speaker 1: hit the headlines and it was closing And it was
3:43
Speaker 1: so sudden, wasn't it a lot of people, even the
3:45
Speaker 1: staff and well, I didn't know much about it. And
3:49
Speaker 1: it's been a while. It wasn't out some months ago
3:52
Speaker 1: that somebody got hold of it, but again it was
3:55
Speaker 1: kept under wraps, but it was finally released. Was it
3:58
Speaker 1: last week that it's going to reopen? Now? No doubt
4:02
Speaker 1: there will be another delay in only a serious delay
4:05
Speaker 1: because they've got to reassess the building, you know, the
4:08
Speaker 1: things like the swimming pool obviously, all the equipment, and
4:12
Speaker 1: it's got to be health and safety risk assessments done.
4:16
Speaker 1: But what a step in the right direction. I mean,
4:20
Speaker 1: sort of knocking the place down and building another sports
4:23
Speaker 1: center somewhere else, which was really never never going to happen,
4:27
Speaker 1: was it. And so we've got to, you know, give
4:30
Speaker 1: Roger Dehant and a sports trust a massive pound the
4:33
Speaker 1: back and for the sake of this town, and no doubt,
4:37
Speaker 1: as the news breaks a bit more formally, if you like,
4:41
Speaker 1: we will, we definitely will try, and we've got contacts
4:44
Speaker 1: at the Sports Trust and we will get someone in
4:48
Speaker 1: to tell us all the latest exactly what's going on.
4:52
Speaker 1: So that was a great bit of sports news to
4:55
Speaker 1: come back to now. Just like I say, I've been away,
4:59
Speaker 1: been on hold, and I might tell you about it
5:01
Speaker 1: if i'll get time. I don't want to bore you
5:02
Speaker 1: too much, but it was good fun at three weeks
5:05
Speaker 1: in Cyprus. But I've done a bit of research today
5:07
Speaker 1: and I've got to call up with some cricket news,
5:10
Speaker 1: local cricket so a crack on with that now folks
5:14
Speaker 1: the first eleven lost their home to Bickley Park by
5:16
Speaker 1: seventeen runs and this Saturday they are away to Leeds
5:20
Speaker 1: and Broomfield, which doesn't mean to trip up north, it
5:23
Speaker 1: means a trip up the twenty to leeds Castle region.
5:27
Speaker 1: Now folks that have only played two league games, having
5:30
Speaker 1: a one to one and lost one, and they are
5:32
Speaker 1: in the Championship section of the Kent Cricket League, having
5:35
Speaker 1: beaten at Bromley Common the week before. Hive Cricket Club
5:39
Speaker 1: won their first game beating a Saint Lawrence and Highland
5:41
Speaker 1: Court thirty eleven by sixty runs. And on Saturday there
5:45
Speaker 1: are homes of Willsborough. Now they play their cricket in
5:48
Speaker 1: Division eight in the Shepherd Section that is also in
5:51
Speaker 1: the Kent Cricket League. I have green. Last Saturday I
5:55
Speaker 1: traveled away to play a Whitstaball thirt eleven and won
5:58
Speaker 1: the match by eight wickets. Opener's opener's James Wybrow owned
6:02
Speaker 1: Paddy Cox, scoring seventy six of the one hundred and
6:06
Speaker 1: three runs needed. This week the Greener at home to
6:10
Speaker 1: a local rival Saltwood. That should be a good match
6:12
Speaker 1: and that's in Division nine of the Shepherd Section. Meanwhile,
6:15
Speaker 1: Saltwood last week beat Kennington by four wickets. Sipton Park
6:20
Speaker 1: beat up Church in the away fixture by nineteen runs.
6:23
Speaker 1: Then on Saturday it's a home to Offham Cricket Club.
6:26
Speaker 1: Now I must admit I didn't know where that was.
6:28
Speaker 1: I don't know whether they've just come up into this division,
6:31
Speaker 1: but Offham Cricket Club they will be traveling down from
6:35
Speaker 1: West Morling and that's in Division five of the Crent
6:38
Speaker 1: Kent Cricket League Hurricane Section and haw and finally Hawkins
6:44
Speaker 1: last week beat Ash by nine wickets and Saturday they
6:47
Speaker 1: are at home to betts and Colliery in Division eight
6:51
Speaker 1: of the Shepherd Section. Now next week I'll be doing
6:54
Speaker 1: some research into the Kent Cricket League. I did it
6:56
Speaker 1: last year and it's quite amazing, absolutely how many two
7:00
Speaker 1: tames and how many divisions and some of these names,
7:02
Speaker 1: like Division eight Shepherd Section, there is a little link
7:05
Speaker 1: there to the Kent Cricket Fraternity. So I'm going to
7:10
Speaker 1: try and you know, check it all out so we
7:13
Speaker 1: can make a bit of sense of it. But there
7:16
Speaker 1: is so much cricket in ken you won't believe it.
7:19
Speaker 1: I'll do you. I'll try to stort it out, let
7:21
Speaker 1: you know. So now I'm back. I've checked the weather
7:24
Speaker 1: for Saturday's games, looking forward to a nice sunny day
7:26
Speaker 1: for cricket. But you know what, it's typical. It doesn't
7:29
Speaker 1: look too good and it could be a few games
7:32
Speaker 1: left with Rainstop play, Oh dear, welcome home anyway. This
7:37
Speaker 1: one is from nineteen ninety eight, and this is the cause,
7:40
Speaker 1: and so young, that's the cause. There are nineteen ninety
8:04
Speaker 1: eight and like I say, unfortunately I've had too much
8:09
Speaker 1: time to do some sport. But so it'd be a
8:11
Speaker 1: lot of chatting and telling you about my holiday later on.
8:15
Speaker 1: But when was in holiday? I mean we were away
8:18
Speaker 1: for three weeks, so you do miss your family. Me
8:22
Speaker 1: and missus Ferry. We both got grandchildren and so it
8:24
Speaker 1: was nice to keep in touch with them with this
8:26
Speaker 1: wonderful thing called FaceTime. I mean, isn't it good when
8:30
Speaker 1: you use it properly? We were in Cyprus and my
8:35
Speaker 1: grandchildren were in Bogner Butling's on their little holiday, the
8:41
Speaker 1: little family holiday, and had a chat with him, soho's
8:44
Speaker 1: the children? Grandchildren hadn't been anywhere. They're in focus. But
8:49
Speaker 1: they were excited because one of them, Isabella, went to
8:53
Speaker 1: see Oli Murs at the O two and she was
8:56
Speaker 1: telling us all about that. But the main thing was
9:00
Speaker 1: I still trouble getting my head around it. I'm old fashioned,
9:03
Speaker 1: I know. But she had a friend in I Beefer right.
9:08
Speaker 1: She went on holiday to ide Beefa with some of
9:09
Speaker 1: her friends and they went to a nineties festival and
9:13
Speaker 1: we were talking to her from Cypress to I Beefa
9:16
Speaker 1: and she was telling us all about this nineties festival
9:18
Speaker 1: and that all of a sudden she'd become in love
9:21
Speaker 1: with Ronan Keating. So, Fern, this is one for you.
9:25
Speaker 1: This is the best one I could ever find. I
9:27
Speaker 1: love this. It makes me think of mister Bean, so
9:30
Speaker 1: please enjoy this. Fern. Let me go, boys, I owned
9:53
Speaker 1: a ninety ninety seven and if you've watched to Hit
9:57
Speaker 1: her clip on YouTube, I had to track it down.
9:59
Speaker 1: It does show miss been in there and they're all
10:01
Speaker 1: messing about and they all came down to his level,
10:04
Speaker 1: you know. But what a great look song. That is
10:08
Speaker 1: right time for a better sport now. So I've got
10:10
Speaker 1: a report now from the folks in the Victor Disability team.
10:13
Speaker 1: The manager Garret Wilson. Now, while I was away, they
10:17
Speaker 1: played a game against a team called Everett Rovers, who
10:20
Speaker 1: traveled down from Watford. And it's just as easy for
10:23
Speaker 1: me to read out the whole report and so you
10:25
Speaker 1: can get the flavor of how the game went. Okay,
10:28
Speaker 1: So in Victor got off to a fast start and
10:30
Speaker 1: created a chance which was fired wide. However, as at Chelsea,
10:35
Speaker 1: in Victor gave away a penalty when John was a
10:37
Speaker 1: judge to foul. Wayne saved the penalty, and in Victor
10:40
Speaker 1: made Everett pay when good link up play saw Troy Kurl,
10:44
Speaker 1: Homly Opener, Mark Jordan and Peter all defended well. The
10:49
Speaker 1: second goal was a move of quality, with Troyett, Riley
10:52
Speaker 1: and Billy combining then crossing for Kert at the firepost
10:56
Speaker 1: to flick it in for the second, and Victor went
10:58
Speaker 1: close to adding a third three her Sonny every It
11:01
Speaker 1: pulled one back when they broke through after a ball
11:03
Speaker 1: over the top allowed to forward to shot on goal
11:06
Speaker 1: and he scored. Wayne was alert to another shot and
11:09
Speaker 1: he pushed that one onto the bar. In the second half,
11:12
Speaker 1: in Victor came out of the blocks fast, good into
11:15
Speaker 1: play with Paul and Troy put curtain and he scored
11:18
Speaker 1: through the keeper's legs. Two minutes later, good present from
11:21
Speaker 1: Sonny saw the ball won back in midfield and Sonny
11:24
Speaker 1: was sent through to score. The fifth came not long after,
11:28
Speaker 1: Sunny following up after a Troy shot was blocked. Harry
11:31
Speaker 1: had a chance and blocked a corner and Jared also
11:34
Speaker 1: had a chance. Kyle was defended well as he mustn't
11:38
Speaker 1: forget the defenders and all this. However, in Victor got
11:40
Speaker 1: caught out of the back and the ball found the
11:42
Speaker 1: net from an ever forward. Christian and Brody came on
11:45
Speaker 1: late in the game to add fresh legs in Victor
11:48
Speaker 1: c in the game out and Garrett said that what
11:51
Speaker 1: they've been doing in training paid off despite missing three players.
11:54
Speaker 1: Everyone worked their sucks off. So there you go. That's
11:57
Speaker 1: the little summing up from Garrett and the final score.
12:00
Speaker 1: There was a focusing in Victor disability team five. Everett
12:04
Speaker 1: rove us from what for two Just to recap the
12:07
Speaker 1: goals came from Troy. He got one, Kurt got two
12:10
Speaker 1: and Sonny got too and the man in the match
12:13
Speaker 1: he must have had a good game, Troy Harding. So
12:15
Speaker 1: the next game is a way to Clacton on Sunday
12:18
Speaker 1: the first of June. So big thanks to form of
12:21
Speaker 1: guests to the show, Garret Wilson sending in that report
12:23
Speaker 1: and keep them coming in, Garrett. We want to know
12:26
Speaker 1: how you got on in Clacton right times and music
12:30
Speaker 1: now and we got this one. Butore, this is a
12:32
Speaker 1: late one twenty fifteen. One direction, Drag me down. I've
12:38
Speaker 1: got fire for a heart. I'm not scared of the dark.
12:42
Speaker 1: You've never seen it look so down. One direction there,
12:51
Speaker 1: dragged me down. I got some netball news now. Now
12:55
Speaker 1: got some results from the fourteenth of May. It's a

Speaker 1: Danielle and If you want to find out anything about netball,
13:44
Speaker 1: then you can go to the netball page Folkston and
13:47
Speaker 1: Netball League. It's on Facebook, and just send Daniel a question.
13:51
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to know anything about training,
13:52
Speaker 1: perhaps you want to come along, Perhaps you have just
13:55
Speaker 1: moved to the town and you want to find out
13:57
Speaker 1: the netball scene here in Folkston, then just give Daniel
14:00
Speaker 1: a little message. Now some wheelpair wheelchair basketball. Now again
14:06
Speaker 1: the wonders of modern technology. I was in Cyprus and
14:10
Speaker 1: I watched two games from the Folks and Arrows. Yeah,
14:15
Speaker 1: how good is that? Well it was good, but unfortunately
14:19
Speaker 1: the results wasn't too too clever for the Arrows. So
14:22
Speaker 1: let me just read this little write up and then
14:24
Speaker 1: we'll have a little chat. Now what they did. They
14:28
Speaker 1: were in the playoffs and they were all played at
14:30
Speaker 1: the University of Worcester. Now, the Arrows faced Swansea Storm
14:34
Speaker 1: but sadly lost this one of fifty five thirty five
14:37
Speaker 1: in the semi final. But then they came up against
14:40
Speaker 1: Jaguars from Nottingham who were on top form, beating the
14:43
Speaker 1: Arrows fifty one twenty eight. But you must remember, right,
14:47
Speaker 1: this was the playoffs where the teams were the best
14:50
Speaker 1: in the country at Division three of the National League.
14:53
Speaker 1: I mean, but there were teams from places like Nottingham
14:56
Speaker 1: Swansea who got a much much bigger catchment area, massive towns,
15:01
Speaker 1: you know, much bigger than Folks then, So the Arrows
15:04
Speaker 1: have done really well to represent Folks in the national
15:06
Speaker 1: competition and they've done wonders in the name of the
15:09
Speaker 1: town and the sport. So a big well done moscoach
15:12
Speaker 1: with Ben and Becky Potter and all the Arrows players,
15:15
Speaker 1: and I look forward to following your next season. Actually,
15:19
Speaker 1: now we did have them Ben and Becky in a
15:22
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. They were so knowledgeable and they loved
15:25
Speaker 1: their sport. They really did. So let me just point
15:27
Speaker 1: out actually that the Arrows still gain promotion. Now. The
15:31
Speaker 1: playoffs were just to find out who is the best
15:33
Speaker 1: team throughout the country at this level. So the level
15:37
Speaker 1: was the National League Division three and the Arrows play
15:41
Speaker 1: in the South, so there's other regions out there and
15:44
Speaker 1: they all got together to play just to see who
15:48
Speaker 1: was the best team in the country. But didn't mean
15:51
Speaker 1: anything else. It does mean that the Arrows go up
15:54
Speaker 1: and I shall certainly be looking forward to following them again.
15:57
Speaker 1: And see if we can get Ben and Becky in now.
16:00
Speaker 1: As I was saying at the start of this little
16:02
Speaker 1: clip that we were in Cypress, and I picked up
16:05
Speaker 1: on the link that Becky put on her Facebook page
16:09
Speaker 1: allowing me in Cypress to watch live live streaming for nothing.
16:15
Speaker 1: These the both the Arrows games and from Worcester. So
16:18
Speaker 1: good is that? To be fair? The other two teams
16:21
Speaker 1: they were pretty tough. I've seen I've seen the Arrows
16:24
Speaker 1: play a few times and I don't know they've they've
16:28
Speaker 1: they whitewashed. This is the southern section here. They went
16:32
Speaker 1: through the season unbeaten, but perhaps up in the north
16:35
Speaker 1: or in the central, the middle of the middle of
16:38
Speaker 1: the country, places like Nottingham and on the west there Swansea.
16:42
Speaker 1: Like as I said before, much much bigger catchment area,
16:45
Speaker 1: got lots more players to choose from. And I mean
16:48
Speaker 1: all the players in the Arrows don't all come from Folkston.
16:51
Speaker 1: They come from all over the place. In fact, because
16:54
Speaker 1: the Arrows are the only wheelchair basketball team in Kent,
16:57
Speaker 1: so that makes it an even better achievement. And what
17:00
Speaker 1: they've done up there, right, Okay, so we're going to
17:03
Speaker 1: play this one now, and this is one that I
17:07
Speaker 1: heard quite a bit on holiday actually because this is
17:09
Speaker 1: a cover, not a cover, but it's a version that
17:12
Speaker 1: a lot of groups love to play. And this is
17:15
Speaker 1: called the End of the Line by the Traveling Wilbury's
17:22
Speaker 1: Simple Minds there for one night only, and I'm sorry
17:26
Speaker 1: about that. I am a bit out of practice, don't
17:28
Speaker 1: you love a live radio Yeah, I have no excuses
17:31
Speaker 1: for that one. I was looking straight at the Traveling
17:35
Speaker 1: Wilbury's end of the Line, but the indicator of the
17:38
Speaker 1: queued up indicator wasn't pointed at it, so I hit
17:42
Speaker 1: the wrong button. But I'll try and to play that
17:44
Speaker 1: later on.
17:45
Speaker 2: Right.
17:46
Speaker 1: So now then I've had a message from a gentleman
17:50
Speaker 1: called Carl Fraser. Now kyl Is as we speak, is
17:53
Speaker 1: doing a massive challenge now an Ultra marathon, right and
17:57
Speaker 1: anything ultra is marathon is twenty six point two. Anything
18:03
Speaker 1: Ultra is over the twenty six point two right now, Carl,
18:08
Speaker 1: as he heard about a race is called the Wild
18:11
Speaker 1: Horse two hundred and I, believe it or not, it's
18:14
Speaker 1: a two hundred mile event, two hundred miles. He's running
18:18
Speaker 1: from Chepstow to Wormshead on the west coast of Wales.
18:22
Speaker 1: The race itself has got thirty thousand foot of elevation
18:25
Speaker 1: and that's the height of Mount Everest. What he told
18:28
Speaker 1: me he thought it was way beyond what he was
18:31
Speaker 1: capable of and he's still incredibly daunted by it, but
18:35
Speaker 1: he's looking forward to it and so much. He spent
18:37
Speaker 1: many months training for it and has had several trips
18:40
Speaker 1: to Wales to practice on parts of the route. So
18:44
Speaker 1: what he told me was that he felt so lucky
18:46
Speaker 1: that they got the North Downs here on our doorstep
18:48
Speaker 1: and he's trained a lot there which is pretty rugged. Now.
18:51
Speaker 1: The longest single run he did this is just a
18:53
Speaker 1: single run listened to. This was from Folkston to Dover,
18:56
Speaker 1: then he went to Canterbury, who went to Wyre and
18:59
Speaker 1: then backs to Folkston. That was about sixty miles. Now,
19:02
Speaker 1: what he's doing is aiming to raise as much money
19:04
Speaker 1: and awareness for a group called Action on Homelessness, which
19:10
Speaker 1: is in Folkestone and it's a charity and he regularly
19:14
Speaker 1: volunteers for it. So he started yesterday at six o'clock.
19:20
Speaker 1: So say, he did ask me about we were going
19:24
Speaker 1: to try and get him in on the show. But
19:26
Speaker 1: what we do we give him a few weeks to
19:28
Speaker 1: recover and then we see if we can get him in.
19:31
Speaker 1: So now Carl has raised over nine hundred pounds of
19:34
Speaker 1: the one thousand pounds target. And as I said, this
19:36
Speaker 1: money is going for a charity called Action on Homelessness,
19:41
Speaker 1: which is in Folkston. So good luck to you, Carl,
19:45
Speaker 1: and I just hope we can catch up with you
19:49
Speaker 1: when it's all over and you have recovered. Right, I'm
19:52
Speaker 1: going to see if I can hit the right button
19:54
Speaker 1: for the right song. Now. Now, if all things go
19:56
Speaker 1: to plan, this is jumping jumping, just Timberlake. What goes
20:01
Speaker 1: around comes around. Justin Timberlake, what goes around comes around.
20:27
Speaker 1: I am now going to tell you about what's coming
20:29
Speaker 1: up on Saturday. Right Saturday, I'll be back a co hosting.
20:34
Speaker 1: Thank goodness, I don't have to press all the buttons
20:37
Speaker 1: with ad Adie Dowks. But we have got a guest
20:40
Speaker 1: who was in just a few weeks ago. Her name
20:42
Speaker 1: is Ellis and she is the physio at Whitstaville Town
20:47
Speaker 1: Football Club. Now, when she came in last time, it
20:51
Speaker 1: was she was so excited because she was going to
20:53
Speaker 1: Wembley as a part of the physio team. Because Wistable Town.
20:58
Speaker 1: We're in the final of FA VARs Well once again,
21:02
Speaker 1: I'm so lucky. Probably if I was in England I
21:04
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. But in Cyprus I managed to watch
21:07
Speaker 1: the whole game on the Cypress TV and oh how
21:11
Speaker 1: exciting was it? And so and it's come on and
21:14
Speaker 1: saw us several times on the Telly. And also at
21:17
Speaker 1: the same time, although we didn't see him under Telly,
21:20
Speaker 1: my colleague and co presenter Adrian Dawks was at Wembley
21:25
Speaker 1: commentating for Seasiders Radio. And so they are both going
21:29
Speaker 1: to be here on Saturday. And I'll tell you what,
21:31
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm going to get a word in
21:33
Speaker 1: because they would be so excited at swapping stories. And
21:36
Speaker 1: I especially want to hear from Ellice and just what
21:38
Speaker 1: it was like. And it only started out if she's
21:40
Speaker 1: a student at Canterbury University and she wrote to Whitstable
21:44
Speaker 1: Town asking if she could have a policeman as a physio.
21:48
Speaker 1: She wrote to a lot of football clubs in whitchtaball
21:50
Speaker 1: were the only ones that replied, how good is that? Well,
21:53
Speaker 1: I'm back working on a Sunday, I'll say working, I
21:57
Speaker 1: should be on the mic as a focused in coastal Ten.
22:00
Speaker 1: I haven't had much time to prepare, so I've just
22:03
Speaker 1: got to make a few notes and head down to
22:06
Speaker 1: the lees there by the Lower Lees Lift. I think
22:08
Speaker 1: it's sold out, so please come along and spectate it.
22:13
Speaker 1: And it's also it's going to clash I think with
22:16
Speaker 1: these folks and rowing club regatta, believe it or not.
22:21
Speaker 1: It's on the same day and the runners have got
22:23
Speaker 1: to run past it, but that that point there will
22:25
Speaker 1: be heavily marshalled. So that's all about Saturday. So let's
22:29
Speaker 1: see if we squeeze another song in and I'll tell
22:32
Speaker 1: you what I'm going to play it now. We're going
22:34
Speaker 1: to play the Traveling Wilbury's and end of the line.
22:51
Speaker 1: The end of the line, well that's the Traveling Wilberries.
22:55
Speaker 1: And believe me, it was the Traveling Wilbury's. And I'm
23:00
Speaker 1: hoping to get a few songs in actually, just to
23:05
Speaker 1: take us back to Cyprus anyway, my Cypress holiday. I
23:10
Speaker 1: could go on about it for ours and ours do
23:11
Speaker 1: a free hour show about it. It was so good,
23:14
Speaker 1: you know. But it started with a I think called
23:17
Speaker 1: a path run, not a park run. It's on the
23:20
Speaker 1: first Sunday of the month. It used to be called
23:22
Speaker 1: a park run, but there was a bit of slight disagreement,
23:25
Speaker 1: but we won't go into that. But it's run every
23:28
Speaker 1: first Sunday of the month and this week sorry, this month,
23:33
Speaker 1: we happened to be there. There was a total of
23:35
Speaker 1: eighty eight runners, a lot of locals and obviously a
23:39
Speaker 1: lot of tourists. A lot of people come along and
23:41
Speaker 1: they do ask the Pathwors Running Club about the Cypress
23:44
Speaker 1: Path Run. I mean there was people from Edinburgh, people
23:48
Speaker 1: from Stamford, a new port in Wales, and there was
23:51
Speaker 1: one runner there from Za in Russia and they were
23:55
Speaker 1: under the guidance of the boss, the run director, Sue Cawdrey,
23:59
Speaker 1: So a big thanks to Sue Caudry there and the
24:01
Speaker 1: Padfless Running Club. All the volunteers. I try and name
24:05
Speaker 1: as many as I can. There was Helen, There was Truce.
24:08
Speaker 1: There was Chris Coleman, he does all the producing the results.
24:12
Speaker 1: There was Jane and the team. They were selling t shirts.
24:15
Speaker 1: And a big extra thank you to Alan. Alan is
24:18
Speaker 1: a great cook. He'd make loads and loads of lovely
24:21
Speaker 1: flapjacks which were demolished in Steve's Bar after the run.
24:26
Speaker 1: And now you know I've just running Pathless Running Club.
24:28
Speaker 1: I was such a friendly, friendly bunch, you know. It's
24:30
Speaker 1: great to see them on our trips when we go
24:32
Speaker 1: to Coral Bay. And of course I mustn't forget Andy
24:35
Speaker 1: and he was at the turnaround point and he took
24:38
Speaker 1: so many pictures of lots and lots of lovely smiley faces.
24:43
Speaker 1: And as for me, what did I do? Well, got
24:45
Speaker 1: to do something. I was the role of the tail
24:48
Speaker 1: walker Sue Missus Ferrits, who did actually run on the day.
24:53
Speaker 1: My running days are pretty much over. So what I did.
24:55
Speaker 1: I chatted for five k with a lovely lady called
24:58
Speaker 1: Venita who came from Wembley. She was the final walker
25:02
Speaker 1: runner and she was over with her family and it
25:05
Speaker 1: was lovely talking to her. And she lives very close
25:08
Speaker 1: to Wembley Stadium. She can see the arch from her house.
25:11
Speaker 1: So it's been a bit of a busy place Wembley
25:13
Speaker 1: Stadium just lately, isn't it. But it really was a
25:15
Speaker 1: lovely sunny morning. Now, the holiday wasn't all about running,
25:19
Speaker 1: although I did have a couple of Saturday morning run
25:22
Speaker 1: walks with the Pawfus Running Club who meet on a Saturday,
25:25
Speaker 1: as I said, and they have a breakfast at a
25:27
Speaker 1: lovely name of Frog and Toad. This is a little
25:30
Speaker 1: bar cafe and it was celebrating the tenth anniversary, so
25:35
Speaker 1: it meant a couple of Saturday afternoons listening to some
25:37
Speaker 1: great live music. So I'm going to play a couple
25:40
Speaker 1: of tracks and just take that. These tracks really got
25:44
Speaker 1: us all dancing. They really did. So we're going to
25:47
Speaker 1: start with Yeah, I think we'll have that one, and
25:50
Speaker 1: then we're certainly going to chuck this one in and
25:55
Speaker 1: just see if this would get you up on the
25:57
Speaker 1: dance floor.
26:13
Speaker 2: I want to.
26:21
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to cut somebod these song short because
26:23
Speaker 1: I want to squeeze a couple in. And that was
26:26
Speaker 1: rolling Stones painted black and old people do get up,
26:28
Speaker 1: we do Dad's dancing. We're all over the place, but
26:31
Speaker 1: we actually love it. And now there was another one
26:33
Speaker 1: that's really got the crowd rooking, and that was this one.
26:44
Speaker 1: I did my best to notice.
26:48
Speaker 2: When the call came down the line up to the
26:52
Speaker 2: platform of surrender, I was brought but I was kind.
26:59
Speaker 1: Sound that's the killers there. And that was another one
27:06
Speaker 1: that we really enjoyed a holiday. And there's a group
27:10
Speaker 1: there that they left that one till last, and honestly
27:14
Speaker 1: the dance floor was packed. Now it was, like I say,
27:16
