0:24
hot places. Anyway, this is Kevin's Sports Very Daily here on one oh
0:29

0:51
report on charity donations made after the silt Wood Boxing Day run but across country
0:58
news and I mentioned for two special ladies who completed their own personal January challenge.
1:08
So don't go away, put your feet up. We've got a great
1:11
mixture of music and sport coming up over the next two hours. Have a
1:19
cup of tea in the conservatory. I bet it's nice and warming there right
1:25
In the meantime, we've got some man from Man's Earth band are blinded by
1:29
the light, and some local music, So sit back and take it easy.
1:41
Local music there from tests and that was a song called save Me from
1:44
Myself. Okay, let's start with football, and I'm going to start with
1:48
two words that you must have rammed down your throat at the weekend Maidstone United.
1:53
Now I know it's not focused on hives, but folks on, I've
1:56
had some ding dong games against Maidstone United and you've got a just hold your
2:00
hand up and say, how well did they do against Ipswitch in that cup
2:05
round? Well did you watch it? I mean me and missus Ferrett,
2:08
we watched it and we were buying our nails. You know, you couldn't
2:13
look at one time. It was like Doctor Who when used to get beyond
2:16
us over if, I just can't watch this anymore. And as the clock
2:20
ticked down and the final whistle went, oh, it was just magic and
2:25
you just got a feel for the Maystone supporters, you know, the whole
2:28
town. Now it's lifted them. It's amazing because the capacity of the ground
2:31
is about two and two hundred and fifty. Yet yeah, four thousand people
2:37
from Maystone went up to what's the game? But yeah, why not just
2:40
get beyond the town. So it's fantastic. Okay, So let's move on
2:45
to some local football. Last Saturday in Victor we're at home to Carl Schlton,
2:49
so let's have a little listen to this report from Charlie Prescott joined me
2:53
from the Our Client Stadium where Folks and the Victor took on Carl Sharlton Athletic
2:55
in a six goal thriller in the historyan Premier Division. So he changes with
3:00
Folks and coming into this game. Addi Cole, Louis Collins and John the
3:04
Babio all dropped out of the team, with Toby Byron, Eddie Alsop and
3:07
David Smith coming into the eleven. There was a familiar face on the bench
3:10
for car Sharlton Athletic this afternoon as Ibrahim Alatade lined up for Carl Schulton,
3:15
hoping to come back and haunt his former side. It was an end to
3:19
end start to the game and Folkson got on the score sheet first. After
3:22
ready Ulsop picked the pocket of his man high up the pitch, got out
3:24
to the byline whipped it in. It's a magnificent bit of quality from Eddie
3:28
Alsop and Sadie's Snogo was there to turn it into the back of the net.
3:31
So just nine minutes on the clock it was focused on one Carl Scharlton
3:34
Athletic nil. However, Folkson's lead was short lived as cars Schulton cooked up
3:38
for replies. Straight away the ball came in from the left hand side of
3:42
the air and Babajide was there to nod it past Joe Coleman from just six
3:46
yards out and with ten minutes on the clock it was focusing in it to
3:49
one car Schultzen Athletic one. The game really continued to deliver from there.
3:53
This time it was Carl Schulton who had a corner from the left hand side.
3:55
It was whipped in towards the near post. Babagie Day there to get
4:00
the flick on on it and Luke Reid was there at the far post to
4:03
turn it in and seventeen minutes gone it was Carl Shulton too. Folkson won,
4:08
but this time it's Folkson's turn to cook up a reply, for after
4:12
just two minutes the ball was launched high up in the air from the back
4:14
and before it got a chance to hit the deck, Tom Derry was there
4:16
to get that magnificent head on the end of it and turn it in to
4:19
the far left corner. A goalkeeper had no chance and it's folksing too.
4:24
Carl Schulton too. Folkston carried on pushing for the rest of the second half
4:28
and it took them twenty minutes before lower in front again. The ball made
4:30
its way out to the left hawn side for Toby Byron who for the first
4:32
time in the game got his delivery and off his left book swung it in
4:36
from the far left hand side and Tom Derry was there again, a bullet
4:40
header rising from the far post and Folkson had the lead for the first time
4:44
in the game and they kept that until half time. So at half time
4:46
it was Folksing it to three cars Shulton Athletic two. It was a quiet
4:50
start to the second half, but on sixty three minutes Ibraham Molatade came on
4:55
for Sewn O'Brien to return to the Alkali Stadium. It took him just fifteen
4:59
minutes to get involved. With the seventy ninth minute, Ibbs was released on
5:01
the right hand side for Carl Schulton got the ball right out to the touch
5:03
line and put it on a plate for Babajida to double his tally for the
5:08
day and it's Folksing free, Carl Schulton Athletic free. The drama wasn't there
5:13
on there though, as Tom Derry on the eighty second minute came flying in
5:16
on the halfway line put in what looked like a good challenge show around the
5:19
ground, but the referee took an exception to it and he cautioned Tom Derry,
5:24
to which the folks and bench weren't happy. Andy Drury, Chris Lynch
5:27
and Andy Morris were all surrounding the referee on the touchline and Andy Dury obviously
5:30
said something to upset our match referee and he was showing a straight red on
5:35
the eighty second minute until they had the game just edged out. Addie Carle
5:39
replaced Eddie Allsop on eighty eight and I Met Everett replaced Quacku Frimpong for carl
5:44
Schulton on ninety But that was all from the Arkline Stadium. An action pack
5:47
game, a thrilling game, folks, and returned to action on Tuesday as
5:50
they entertained top of the league corn Church with a recently appointed manager, but
5:56
full time here folksing victor three cars Schulton Athletic free Charlie Prescott from the Ourchlives
6:00
Stadium had a big thank you there to Charlie. I was at that game
6:04
and it was NonStop six goals, so stand off and get six goals down
6:08
to the Alkaline. But yeah, it was a good it was a good
6:10
point I think anyway. Now I unfortunately the game that Charlie mentioned that was
6:15
on Tuesday night they lost too Neil to horn Church who are top of the
6:18
league. So this Saturday is another tough fixture when they travel away to biller
6:25
Rickey who are third in the table. Now staying with folksed in Victor last
6:29
night, we've got to give congratulations to the in Victor youth side who beat
6:32
Chathamtown in the Kent Intermediate Cup quarterfinals by three goals to one under the Guy
6:39
under the guidance of a former guest of the show, Paul Stanton. So
6:42
once we find out the fixtures for the Semis and we'll let you know.
6:46
Now. At Reachfield's last Saturday, both sides miss chances in the high versus
6:49
seven oas game, the score ending Neil Neil and on Tuesday evening the game
6:54
has postponed against Herne Bay due to the pitch being waterlogged. The Saturday,
6:58
as they start to play catch up with fixtures, they face a really tough
7:00
home game against Ramsgate who hold the top spot in the in the table eight
7:04
points clear of Cray Valley HOI are currently in twelve spot, having played five
7:11
league games less than the Rams. Hawkings Town had a fine four and I'll
7:15
win against Kent United and that meant they had to go up to Dartford for
7:19
that, Goals coming from Teddy Nelson and Max Cooper, with Keny with one
7:25
apiece and Luke Reeve who scored twice. Man of the match going to Josh
7:29
Hastings. This week's the Hawks travel to Eeriff to take on Haul's AFC in
7:33
the big top of the table clash. Both teams level and forty five points,
7:38
but Hawls have a game in hand, so I should definitely be looking
7:41
out for this result. Time rebing of music now and we're gonna have some
7:46
Beg's Now and Night Fever. Well, a couple of great songs there from
7:55
the seventies BG's Night Fever seventy seven and Dan Hartman Instant Replay eight and first
8:03
of alle must say that unfortunately I haven't got any guests in today. I
8:07
think I've just about interviewed everybody in folks and where it comes to sport,
8:11
so I'm after start going around again. But a bit of a lean week
8:13
this week, so I do apologize. I'll try and get somebody in for
8:16
next week. But a little like it does, it pops up on social
8:20
media pages, and ah, there was a thing popped up about Celine Dion.
8:26
Now we don't play much of her on Academy of FM, and I
8:30
mean, there's she's there's nothing to her, is there. She's a waif
8:33
of a woman, very thin and her exit looking, but such a powerful
8:37
voice. Now sadly she's suffering from a thing called stiff person's syndrome, which
8:43
is is a disease that there's no cure for it. They just got to
8:46
contain it, you know, and nurture it. And it makes all the
8:50
middle muscles in your body and your torso that go really really solid, and
8:56
they're in chronic pain. And I don't know whether she'll ever actually be out
9:00
on the road again. It is such a shame. But she's god such
9:03
a powerful voice. She'd be remembered obviously for the song about the Titanic,
9:07
but I found this one on the system and I think it really deserves the
9:11
place. When I was young, Celene de on there. How can so
9:22
much noise come out of such a little person's hope she gets well soon and
9:28
it's back on the road. Okay, if you just tuned it in and
9:31
wondering what's going on, this is Kevin Day and the Folks then a hive
9:35
sports show. Unfortunately I haven't got any guests in this week, which means
9:37
I'll be playing a bit more music and woffling on a little bit more than
9:41
usual, So please stay tuned and you might learn something you never know.
9:46
Switching back to local sport, now it's time for some news from the Folks
9:50
and Rugby Club where they fielded three teams last Saturday. The first fifteen were
9:54
away, so I go in Gravesend where they beat them fifty two points to
9:58
sixteen, setting up a massive game against park House who traveled down from Bromley.
10:03
Now, the playing record of these two teams is practically identical as they
10:07
have both played sixteen one thirteen, drawn neil and lost three and both teams
10:13
are on sixty three points. Folkstone are just ahead in the league table due
10:18
to a better points difference. So do you know what, I'm going to
10:20
really try and get down there and what's that game? It sounds like it's
10:24
a really juicy fixture and the one to look forward to. The second team
10:28
lost at home to top of the table Rya by thirty nine points to seven,
10:33
keeping Ryan at the top of the table whilst Folkston are in fourth place.
10:37
This week they are a way to East Peckham and Paddockwood. The third
10:41
suffered the heavy defeat against Dover by forty points to nil. This week they
10:45
are at homes of Deal and Betsanger. The Ladies, who are third in
10:48
the league, are with twenty four points visit Uckfield on Sunday who are top,
10:52
but only four points separate the sides, so it should be a close
10:54
game. And it's a weekend of several youth team games. The under tens
11:01
and under elevens away at Whitstable, the under twelve Spitfires are at home to
11:05
Blackheath and the under twelve Hurricanes are at home to Tunbridge Wells. The under
11:09
thirteens are at home to Lordswood and the under fourteens are away at Seven Oaks.
11:15
So it's a great following for the youngsters down there and it's really really
11:18
good to see. If your youngster wants to try rugby then they're just get
11:22
in touch now for further information on the both senior and junior fixtures. Please
11:28
visit the Folks and Rugby Club facebook page. Okay, on to some music,
11:33
man, and this one is red Box, and it's a song called
11:35
Lean on Me Billy Joel, Tell her about it. Now, did you
11:50
know that Billy Joel concerts, certainly in America. He likes to keep the
11:54
front rows empty. You know what he does. He gets the dorman and
11:56
people like that to round up the homeless people and get them in and come
12:00
and listen to the concert. Well, a great idea. Okay, time
12:05
to get back to sport and this time it's basketball now. News from the
12:09
folks in Saints Basketball Club. The under twelves continue their unbeaten run after a
12:13
fifty two to forty three victory over Brighton Bears. The Twelves are top after
12:18
eight games and eight victories. That this was a tough close game against the
12:20
Bears because the Bears are in second place, so world done to the Twelves.
12:24
The folks in the Academy Under nineteens find themselves in the final of the
12:28
Kent School's Cup after beating North School from Ashford, also in a close game
12:33
by forty nine points to forty four. Now, the week before they didn't
12:37
seem to be many games played, so the players were put to the test
12:39
to learn what it's like to be on the scoring table and possibly to be
12:43
like a ref. It was back to the classroom, learning the rules and
12:48
regulations of the game. Now, I think this is a great idea.
12:52
Every game, every game, you know, the youngsters as they grow up
12:54
should know the rules, and it's nice to just give them a little test.
12:58
It's a great idea, you know. And because you learn, make
13:01
them learn understand and you know what I mean. Some of the Premier Division
13:05
footballers could do with some of that, isn't they do You think some of
13:09
them know the rules? They seem to know better than the ref sometimes,
13:11
don't they. Wheelchair Basketball News Ben and Becky Potter would like to thank everybody
13:16
who came to their fundraising quiz for the Folks and Arrows. They raised a
13:20
magnificent four hundred and thirty one pound which will help to continue to keep wheelchair
13:24
basketball alive in the community. They don't forget you can give it a go
13:28
when they don't have a match. They train on a Saturday at the Folks
13:31
and Sports Center, so please go to their Facebook page to check all the
13:35
details. Now their next fixture is at home to Hampshire Harriers, who will
13:41
travel up from Southampton to the Sports Center on the seventeenth of February. Now,
13:46
I last night sitting in front of the telly, having my daily digestive
13:50
of Heartbeat. You know, I love it when the sixties the songs come
13:54
on. And one song came on and I thought, oh, I've got
13:58
to play this. You know. The story sort of went like they're all
14:01
farmers around there up in Yorkshire, and the story went about a jealous farmer
14:07
husband and he he was getting really on top of him, and what does
14:11
he do? He go and gets his shotgun and then the next thing you
14:15
know, this song is playing. What a powerful song there from Jimmy Hendrix.
14:33
Need us to say in Heartbeat, no one got shot Constall Rowan's got
14:37
there in time and saved everybody head time for some sport. Now it's a
14:46
hockey readout Now news from the folks in Optimius Hockey Club. Last week they
14:50
fielded eleven sides. The men's fifteen were without a game, so some of
14:54
it all up we have where they played eleven they won, six lost four
15:00
drew one. There was goals four, tally was twenty four and goals against
15:05
was ten, so over half the size, winning with an excellent goal difference
15:09
thanks to a fine A nine nil win by the men's six team over Ashford
15:13
Crusaders with goals coming from Alfie Ball, Theo Coombs and Steve Rowe, who
15:18
all scored twice, then won a piece from Harry Row, Jude File and
15:22
Daryl Gillham Jones. The men's first lost two ones of Eastbourne, the second
15:26
beat Sitting Born. Both goals come in from Josh Bunzio. The third beat
15:31
Deal three nil, the fourth team beat Old Williamsnian's one nil, and the
15:35
seventh team drew nil Neil with seven Oaks. The ladies first team lost one
15:41
nil to seven Oaks, the seconds lost three nil to South Saxons, the
15:45
third beat Case Sports two nil, and the fourth team lost to a BBHC.
15:50
That's Bexley Heath and Belvedere. They lost two to one. It always
15:54
throws me out that bbh C. I'll explain in a minute. And the
15:58
fifteen march on the four one win over the Old Williamsonians. That's goal shared
16:03
out between Phoebe Norman, Beca Shaw, Wendy Blackwell and Emily Gainsford, keeping
16:08
them top of the table. Twelve game scheduled once again this week. The
16:12
men's versare away to Ashford, Ladies First are at home to Bromley and Beckenham.
16:18
Sorry the Ladies first are at homes of Bromley and Beckenham are so confusing,
16:22
That is the other BBAC and the Ladies fifteen are at home to University
16:27
of Kent and we haven't finished yet. This has got to be worth a
16:32
mention. The Ops under twelve boys played in an invitational tournament in Canterbury recently.
16:37
They played against seven teams. They played against Ashford, Tunbridge, Wells,
16:41
Epsom, Seven Oaks, Noel Park, Surbiton and Canterbury and how do
16:47
you think they get on? Well, they only win and beat all of
16:49
them. They'd be all the seven teams and given them victory and brought them
16:55
home to trophy. So a massive well done to the under twelve players there
16:57
and a big thank you to the co which is and families for their support.
17:02
Now can you imagine how they felt they'd beaten six teams and it looks
17:04
like they were on their way to lift a trophy and they go into that
17:07
seventh game and that seventh game against Canterbury, but obviously they did the business
17:14
and wow, that is the team for the future. So a big thanks
17:17
to former guests to the show Amy for sending in all those reports there at
17:22
time. Was the music and this is from Touch and Go and it's called
17:25
Wooda. I've noticed you're around. They we go from the sixties there.
17:37
The holly is just want to look the songs from sixties, you know,
17:40
they were a lot shorter, and it's a bit of a conundrum actually when
17:44
you're trying to play these songs, you get something like that Jimmy Hendrix was
17:48
nearly four minutes and you get a sixties song and it's just about two minutes.
17:53
Oh yeah, I was just right. I'm sorry, I was miles
17:56
way there. I'm just trying to think of We were talking about relating in
18:00
songs to somewhere where you've been, something that sticks in your mind straight away.
18:04
Well, this song will take me back to my youth when I had
18:07
the first taste of fair grounds, if you like, and you know in
18:11
the fair used to turn up on the weekend and wait till he's dark.
18:17
And all the noise and the songs pounding out and something as you're growing up,
18:23
it was like something that really stuck in my mind. And this song
18:26
will forever stick in my mind every time I see a dodging car or a
18:33
Worlitzer thing. See you after the news, Sweet Welcome back to the second
18:49
hour of the Folks on the High Sports show. This is Kevin Day the
18:53
Sports for Folks and here on one o five point nine Academy FM. Unfortunately,
19:00
we haven't got any guests in today, so it's me just playing a
19:03
bit of extra music and waffling on about I don't know anything really that pings
19:10
into my mind when I look at these songs. I'm just trying to relate
19:12
them to something that's happened in my life and it's very important. So if
19:18
you've got a special song that you played on Academy FM and it relates instantly
19:23

23:52
three spiky head girls and think they got away with murder? Really didn't they?
23:57
Okay, so we're talking about music related songs. You know something that
24:03
just you hear the song and it takes you back. You're there straight away.
24:07
It might be happy and for some people to be fair, and it
24:10
does to me. It takes you back to a funeral, very poignant when
24:14
they played that last song, and that does really really stick in your mind,
24:18
doesn't it. Now? Back in the day, I went to Canada
24:22
and I got on a jumbo jet for the very first time, and I
24:29
couldn't believe that there was upstairs on an aeroplane. All right, so it
24:33
was a tiny, tiny spiral staircase, but upstairs on an aeroplane, what's
24:37
that all about? So I settled down and enjoyed the fly eight hours.
24:42
We went to Canada, went to Niagara Falls, went to up the Sea
24:48
nd Tower and there's a little bit in the Sea End Tower. You can
24:51
pay a bit extra and go up, and it's got a glass bottom.
24:55
It was like iconic in them days. There's lots more of those sort of
24:57
platforms around these days. But oh my word. So for I've come all
25:02
this way off here around the world, I've got to do it. And
25:04
we got in with this family. There's myself and my colleague. Actually we
25:07
both used to play football together. He was called Kevin as well, and
25:11
he was Irish. And people used to think that I was a Cockney come
25:15
from London and knew everybody in London. So I played on it a bit,
25:18
I must admit. And we got in with this toe in toe with
25:22
this family, and they said about taking us to the lakes. Yeah,
25:27
yeah, we're going to the going for the weekend. We go up to
25:30
the lakes. We take you with us. So we got to these lakes
25:33
and there's me looking across to see if I could see the other side.
25:37
It was actually Lake Ontario. When I got home, I looked at it
25:41
on a map and it's as big as a great Britain and they call it
25:44
a lake. Anyway, the song that was played when I was on this
25:48
jumbo chat, I put the headphones on and cranked it up loud, and
25:53
the quality was something like I'd never ever heard before. You're talking about back
25:57
in the day of cassette tape and things like that. You know where the
26:02
quality was. We just thought it was great. But when I heard this
26:04
song over with the headphones on and I just turned it up loud, it
26:11
always reminds me of my first trip in a jumbo jet. But I went
26:15
to Canada. I just love that track. I was there on the airplane,
26:36
headphones on, music up loud, not care in the world, and
26:41
you know there's a I've got a home somewhere. I've got a CD with
26:45
a They've got a seven minute version of that and it's great. I mean,
26:48
you must do this. Come on own up. You can get your
26:49
favorite track in the kitchen when you're getting getting a meal ready. You know,
26:55
you have a little glass of wine and you're there, You're floating around
26:57
the kitchen and you're singing along, thinking you sound like the artists. You
27:02
don't sund like them a bit, do you? Well? We better get
27:04
on with some sport. That's what we're here for. This is Kevin sports
27:07
her at Daily on one oh five point nine Academy FM. And we're digressing
27:11
a little bit today because we've got no guests in. Unfortunately, everyone's so
27:15
busy, and I think I've interviewed everybody in folks and has got anything to
27:18
do with sport. So we might have to go around again, as I
27:21
said earlier. And but what we're going to do now is talk about the
27:26
Saltwood Boxing Day Run. Now it seems like ages ago, but last year
27:30
the Saltwood Boxing Day Run was staged for the forty seventh time. It attracted
27:33
over eight hundred runners. And during the week I was chatting with race director
27:37
Greg Boorman. He told me that nearly five thousand pounds was donated to charity,
27:42
not all one charity. It was shared between two seven hundred and fifty
27:47
pounds for motor neurone disease, one thousand pounds for the local village church.
27:51
And on the day, actually to be fair, the local reverend and his
27:53
wife came along. He started the race and she she ran it. Actually
27:59
there seven hundred and fifty pounds for McMillan Cancer and two hundred and fifty pounds
28:03
for the Channel Rotary who I think the Channel Rotary are going to distribute that
28:07
towards the local charities that they support now. They also managed to hold back
28:11
two hundred and fifty quid which is to kickstart the next event in twenty twenty
28:15
four. Greg Greg wanted to say that over the years, motor neurone disease
28:21
have benefited by forty five thousand pounds from this event and the toll raise since
28:26
the run has begun. It's getting on for and listen to this sit down
28:30
because this is a massive figure of three hundred thousand pound. Greg also wanted
28:36
to thank the sponsors for their help. That's the main sponsor's Jenners, the
28:40
Prince of Wales Pub in Palmash, Channel Rotary folks and Printing and I want
28:45
to thank all the volunteers on the day who made it so much fun and
28:48
without their help, which couldn't put these races on. Now, last,
28:52
but not least, we've got to say a big thank you to the man
28:53
himself, Greg Boorman. Now he's from the Trophy Shop in Hive and he
28:59
donates all the men he goes out in the morning, he checks and he
29:02
marks out the course and he deals with anything else that comes his way on
29:06
the day. And of course a big thank you to everybody who ran or
29:10
supported on the day. It really was a buzzy, productive morning raising money
29:14
for good causes. And if you've never done it before, and I mean
29:18
it's always a tough call between the Dip and these Saltwood Boxing Day Run,
29:22
but the last couple of years the place has been absolutely packed. I see
29:26
him crossing the line. I'm on the mic and there's so many happy,
29:30
smiley faces, all ages, kids, families out, some people that have
29:33
come down for Christmas from Yorkshire or somewhere are hoping for a quiet Christmas get
29:37
dragged out and do the Seal Word Boxing Day Run. It really is a
29:41
fantastic event and it's nice to hear that these charities are benefiting. That's all
29:47
that fun and all that money raised goes to a good course. Right,
29:51
Okay, time for a bit of music now are Brian Adams here we go,
29:55
Academy EVM, the Folkston and Hide Squads podcast, Local sport across the
30:00
District, The Switch Old music from the sixties. Oh there's some great music
30:12
in this show today. There really is that was actually in the playlist.
30:15
I must have meant to slipping one or two extras in the playlist here because
30:19
we had no guests. But so that was cracking. I've heard that for
30:22
a long time now. Last week we're talking about the Denny Cup, now
30:26
Denny Cup. Last week our guest Terry Hardy from the Folks Indoor Balls Club
30:30
sold us about their team that has reached the quarterfinals of the Denny Cup,
30:34
which is a national competition, sadly focused and lost by eighty five points to
30:38
fifty four, but are very proud to have reached the quarter final stage.
30:42
And there was kind of a little bit upset with themselves because they don't think
30:47
they performed as well as they could have done. Now, the side they
30:49
played against was a Turkey and they did have three regular national players in their
30:55
lineups and so they are a very strong side. However, one of the
30:59
top players who won the men's World Championships at Potters last year. Now Potters
31:03
is like the equivalent of Wembley's to football rugby is to Twickenham, and so
31:10
that player he was actually beaten by the Folkston four that came made up of
31:14
youngsters playing against them, So well done to the youngsters. I mean,
31:17
what a great experience that must have been up against really top international players.
31:21
So sad news for the team, but they got to the quarterfinals. Something
31:25
to be proud of. And thanks for that report their terry and keep me
31:30
up today as I'm sure you'll be going again next year. Time for a
31:33
bit of cross country news now. Two members of South Kent Harriers took part
31:37
in the Southern Cross Country Championships at Beckenham last weekend, Darren Scrivens and Max
31:41
Hamilton. Andrew Darren ran a good race, finish in five minutes faster than
31:47
last year in fifty seven minutes thirty nine seconds. Oh and by the way,
31:51
it was a nine mile course but the runners thought it was half a
31:53
mile short and Max runs sixty two to twenty nine despite losing a shoe in
31:57
the mud which he reckoned cost him about five minutes. And we got another
32:02
story here. There's a lady there that took her a little holiday right across
32:07
the other side of the world. She ran a half marathon in much nicer
32:14
conditions whilst she was on holiday. She completed the Marrakesh half marathon in twenty
32:21
degrees of heat in a time of one hour fifty five minutes. And that
32:23
was Rebecca Young. Now what we're going to do is, once again we're
32:28
talking about places that straight away spring to mind, now, the Marrakesh experience.
32:35
I just immediately thought of this song. Well, what a great track,
32:47
just to remind Rebecca Young. That's for you, Rebecca, to remind
32:51
you of the Marrakesh half marathon. Once again, another tenuous link. You
32:54
know, I hadn't heard the word Marrakesh for ages. Then the Rebecca runs
32:59
in the half marathon. Bang, this is a song pops right up into
33:02
my head. Now, if it happens to you, if you're out and
33:05
about and there's a tenuous link to a song, then why don't you just
33:08
send me a little message and we'll see if we can find it. As
33:12
you said before, it could be a sporting event, it could be anything.
33:15
It could be somewhere where you've been on holiday. That's normally the songs,
33:20
isn't it. You know when you've been on holiday and they play something
33:23
and as soon as you get home you want to hear that song and then
33:27
you forget all about it. And perhaps a year later picking it pops up.
33:30
So if you've got a link to a tenuous link to a song,
33:35
then just let me know right this is a lovely song as well, which
33:37
I do really really like this one. This is by Cheryl Crow and it's
33:40
a change. Will do you get Cheryl Crow? There had a change is
33:55
going to do a good right now, I must give us special mention to
34:00
two folks and ladies who, during January set and completed their own personal challenge
34:07
and should be an inspiration to us all. Now. Fiona Stanton chalked up
34:12
and listened to this four hundred and eighty two thousand, five hundred and eighty
34:16
steps in the month of January, raising money for a motor neurone disease in
34:21
memory of her husband Mark. Now, Mark was a local, really top
34:23
local footballer and he was well respected in the town and I remember playing him
34:30
against him several times. It used to be on a Tuesday night on the
34:32
original AstroTurf, which was like a stone beach. It really was solid.
34:37
But I was played right back and it wasn't fair. You always used to
34:42
play left wing and I'd see him coming and there was a puff of wind
34:45
and he'd be passed me and a board be in the net. But anyway,
34:50
well down to you, Fiona. Fifteen thousand steps a day that was
34:53
really really good. And let's face it, the weather wasn't particularly nice in
34:57
January, was it. So a very special pat on the back to you.
35:00
Now. Imaging Island committed herself to thirty one minutes of exercise during the
35:05
thirty one days of January and she finished off with a ten k run that
35:08
lasted ninety minutes, so it just goes to show you how much she improved.
35:13
Imagen was raising money for Crones and Colitis UK to raise awareness and help
35:17
a family member. These two ladies have shown us that you can step outside
35:22
the box and do something special, something we should all do once in a
35:24
while, so massive well done to Fiona and Imaging there. We should all
35:30
follow their example and just you know, do something a little bit different to
35:32
help other people. So well done. Okay, so we've got a Livy's
35:37
Gus guest. Where is this hour gone? Its like two hours supposed to
35:40
be sport. It's nearly all me talking about live songs that I can remember
35:45
back in the day. But it's been great fun. I might stop inviting
35:49
guests in. I've really enjoyed it so much. We got living in a
35:52
box now by living in a box, bok this morning to be another can't
36:15
do it a new resistance as a body someone's doing. I'm morning to the
36:34
door with one. I'm living in a car, I'm living in a bus,
36:44
I'm in a card. I'm saying a bus lack bow and circles obel
36:58
and wonder what I'm the door, the com com com on, come on,
37:58
come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
38:19
come on the box, come on, come on. I'm come on,
38:35
come on, come on, come on. Living in a box there
38:52
from living in a books and as we play a bit of Elton John.
39:01
That's it for me this week. I'm hoping to go to Rugby on Saturday.
39:07
You watch folks all first of February already today? Did you manage to
39:15
dry January? I did? Wasn't a problem, dry gin, dry martini,
39:20
dry white wine, nothing to it. Got a fixture that you might
39:24
be interested in, shefferld Wednesday playing Coventry on Tuesday, the sixth of February.
39:31
They're the ones that will play Maidstone. So it's not on the Telly,
39:37
So I expect a contingent will go up and be interesting because they'd have
39:42
to watch both sides. Weren't they keep an eye on both sides find their
39:45
weaknesses. Now? Is that Sunday? Sunday I'll be at Bedgbury on the
39:54
MIC as a run out of the Forestry Commission. Lovely, lovely place is
39:59
normally Fulham. Anyway, That's it for me this week. I have a
40:01
great weekend and I'll see you all next time.
