NO GUESTS BUT LOADS OF LOCAL SPORTS REPORTS WITH PLENTY OF NAME DROPPING!! · The Folkestone & Hythe Sports Podcast

0:00
Hide sports podcast every local sport across the district. This is Kevin Dailey,
0:20
the sports for It here on one oh five point nine, bringing you the
0:25
focus on a high sports show. On this the twenty ninth day of February.
0:32
Fellas, do you know what that means? Twenty ninth of February.
0:36
Will stay out the way because it's the day that women can cast a side
0:40
tradition, go down on one knee and propose to you. If you're a
0:48
runner, go for a run, a very long run. Mean while on
0:58
the show this week, I'm afraid we have no guests available. Couldn't track
1:02
anybody down, but typical I had three for next week and one for the
1:06
week after, So we have a mixture of sports and a bit more music.
1:11
We've got reports on football, rugby, hockey, including a special report
1:19
on the Optimist under fourteen boys team who are now in the semi final of
1:23
a national Cup. We've got news of the Ashford ten k basketball and wheelchair
1:29
basketball, plus any other sporty snippets that I can find. So in the
1:34
meantime, have a little listen. To start in the show, we've got
1:38
abba does your Mother Know? Followed by local music and Lenny local music there
1:57
Lenny and ready to fluff. I think he crashed the right time for some
2:04
football news. Now, Well, it was a wet and miserable Saturday as
2:07
two of our local clubs had their games postponed. Unfortunately, Concord Rangers from
2:12
Canvey Island in Essex were at the Folks in Victor ground when the game was
2:15
called off around two o'clock after the pitch was declared playable at half past ten.
2:21
Now you have to feel for Concord, but it's not in Victor's fault.
2:23
They don't call the game off. It's a referee and if it pours
2:27
down while the away team are traveling, that's the worst scenario. But this
2:30
season has been one of the wettest I can remember. It's happened so many
2:35
times to traveling teams. Excuse me, well, I was at the ground
2:40
around one thirty and what's a referee make two pitch inspections about half an hour
2:45
apart and was told in good faith that he would have started the game if
2:49
it was at all possible, especially as Concord had traveled and already five games
2:53
behind in Victor. Tuesday evening, another home game was scheduled and fortunately this
2:59
one went ahea. However, he ended in a Neil Neil draw in front
3:01
of four hundred and eighty two fans. Now, on a side note to
3:06
this, congratulations must go to the former guests of the show, Aidie Dwks
3:10
and his colleague Charlie Prescott for transmitting the commentary live from Sheeriton Road in their
3:16
very first home broadcast under the banner of Seasiders Radio. And this is really
3:22
becoming popular now speaking to aid and Charlie, people you know that are on
3:27
holiday or expats, as he said, living in Malta, or even if
3:31
you're living up north somewhere, you can tune in and listen to the game.
3:35
And Saturday they will be broadcasting live once again. As in Victor traveled
3:38
to Chessant for an away fixture on Saturday. Hive Town suffered the same as
3:46
in Victor, but their game was called off at the early inspection and their
3:49
opponents, sitting Born, were duly informed, so there was no traveling.
3:53
Tuesday evening it was another home game scheduled, this time against Little Hampton,
3:58
which is nearly one hundred miles one way trip, but thanks to the ground
4:01
staff who worked their socks off. The game was played as we hear the
4:05
this report from Tom illerby Hive managed to cling onto a narrow lead and take
4:11
three points at home to Little Hampton Town at Riachfield Stadium on Tuesday night.
4:15
Due to the weather, this match was the first home game in three weeks
4:18
for Hive, making the victory even sweeter for the fans. Manager Steve Watt
4:23
was unable to attend the match and play the responsibility of management in the hands
4:26
of assistant Alex Fischer, but he made five changes from the seventy two defeats
4:30
Chathamtown a week ago in the Kent Senior Cup as Jake Embury, Franni Collin,
4:34
Jack Sevenson, kaigar Rand and Kean Garlinge all returns at starting eleven.
4:40
The game started in Hyde's favor as in the eighth minute Johann Kney Bryant hit
4:44
a powerful looping shot past the outstretched palm of the goalkeeper James Binfield into the
4:48
top corner, giving Higher one nill lead. The first half continued with neither
4:53
side managing to get on the scoreesheet and Hythe had to make a change as
4:56
Kean Garlinge went down injured and was helped off the pitch. The rest of
5:00
the match went on with the visitors dominating and Hide struggling to get the ball
5:03
out of their own half, but despite the pressure from Little Hampson, they
5:06
didn't manage to break past the Canons defense. The full time whistle blue to
5:11
mark and much needed three points for Hythe in their race for the playoffs.
5:15
The Canons will face a tough challenge on Saturday as they traveled to fifth place
5:17
side Herne Bay at three pm. I had a big thank you there,
5:21
Tom. Let's our man pitch side. It's ended in the report We're down
5:25
to you Tom, well as Tom says, the next fixture is an away
5:29
game on Saturday against Herne Bay. But they've got an artificial pitch, shows
5:32
every chance that that will go ahead. But as a bit worrying for Hive
5:38
because the next four games they're all at home, so let's hope that the
5:42
old pitch dries out by then. Now. One game that was on was
5:46
played in Dartford in the Kent County Premier League, and that was Fleet Down
5:49
United versus Hawkins Town, one that Hawkins might have wished was postponed as they
5:55
went down for one. This was made even worse as their close rivals Halls
5:59
AFC beat Stansfield three to one, putting Hauls top of the table two points
6:03
ahead of the Hawks and still they've still got that game in hand now.
6:08
This Saturday, Hawkins visit Tentterdon Town who they very recently drew two all with
6:13
so to maintain the pressure on Hales they need three points. That's the definite.
6:17
Hauls themselves have a tough fixture though, that's a way to fleet Down
6:20
United, who must be feeling very confident after last week's victory over the Hawks.
6:27
Moving on to Garret Wilson's in Victor disability team now and they fought hard
6:32
for their one nil victory over a quality Welling United death side. Welling struck
6:38
the crossbar twice in the first after taking advantage of the wind. The game
6:44
was a neil neil at halftime. In the second half, keeper Wayne Froud
6:47
had a quiet game as in Victor pushed on. The goal came from an
6:51
excellent corner delivered by Billy Hayter which found the head of Peter Lee and went
6:56
flying into the net. In Victor then saw the game out, winning one
6:59
ne and doing the double over Welling. Man of the match went to Troy
7:02
Harding, so overall a great all round team performance, so well done to
7:06
Garret Wilson and the team there. Now I've seen this Welling Deaf team play
7:11
actually a couple of times now and they are really one of the best teams
7:14
in the league. Well did you see that Maystone FA Cup game? There
7:19
was no way Coventry were going to do what Inswich did and underestimate the opposition
7:24
and they run out five new winners. Despite the loss, the Stones fans
7:29
had a great evening and we'll be telling FA Cup stories for years to come.
7:32
The cup runners put the club, the town and the fans on the
7:35
map and it has proved once again there is nothing like the magic of the
7:40
FA Cup. Some people say that it's the FA Cup now it's the same
7:43
old stuff, you know, but it's not. There's there's always a story,
7:46
isn't there. You know, there's always a team and this year it
7:49
was Maystone and they make everybody want to watch the game. Well, w
7:55
will Maystone take it out on the next opponents or will they be a little
7:58
bit flatch? I think? Well, I looked up the fixture and believe
8:01
it or not, the next game is the way at Dover and Dover are
8:03
really struggling at the foot of the table. So this game is either going
8:07
to go two ways. Over are going to get their first win for ages
8:11
or Maystone are just going to murder them. Anyway, Maystone United FC,
8:16
I want to say a big thank you to everybody involved at the club for
8:18
giving us, all US football supporters in Kent and around the globe, some
8:22
wonderful football memories. You did yourselves proud. Nineteen eighty four Howard Jones there
8:43
they late to get to know you well, and do you remember him?
8:46
But he's like a spiky head, a really bit of a one off,
8:50
really, I think he used to do stuff on his own, but he
8:52
made quite an impact, didn't have many hits. But I'm having a bit
8:54
of fun in the studio here actually because I was looking up something about Howard
8:58
Jones and then it's got how to get late to get to know you will
9:03
lyrics. So I've got the lyrics up. I've been singing me had Off
9:05
here in the studio. That's quite an easy one to sing too. But
9:07
have you done this at home before? It had come on own up.
9:11
You've gone on YouTube, clicked on the lyrics of a song, singing along
9:15
and think, do you know what? I've been singing the wrong words for
9:16
years? But anyway, I love that track. Howard Jones liked to get
9:20
to know you well. Okay, bit of hockey news. Now. The
9:26
Folks and Optimists got back on track and fielded all twelve teams at the weekend.
9:31
The stats, however, showed that it was not one of their best
9:33
weeks. They played twelve, they scored goals four was twenty, goals against
9:39
was thirteen. The amount of games they won was only three, They lost
9:45
five and they drew four. Now the men's first eleven drew one against gore
9:50
Court thanks to a late equalizing goal from Jamie Miller hayse Things. The Seconds
9:54
look to stay at the top of the league in the Kenny Vickser League with
9:58
a four niel victory over Canon. Garrett Llewellyn scored once and lorc and Doyle
10:03
got a hat trick. The third to beat Ash for two to one goals
10:05
coming from Freddy Brown and Kyle Mackett. The fourth team drew one all with
10:09
New Indond Nomads thanks to a goal from alex Cross. The fifteen loss to
10:13
four ones and Mardern Russet's. The six team lost six to Ford. That
10:18
must have been a game ten goals there six to four to Gillingham and Courian's
10:22
and the seventh team drew three all, also with the Gillingham and Coourian side.
10:26
Now this was a great result for the seventh team actually because injuries to
10:31
players caused a bit of a reshuffle at the last minute and the league leaders
10:35
and Coourians only scored late in a goal to equalize. The Ladies First eleven
10:39
drew one all with burnt Ash from Bexley Becky Whitt scoring the goal. The
10:43
Ladies Second's, thirds and fourth team all lost two nil to Canterbury, gord
10:48
Call and Dartford respectively. But the good old fifteen they go marching on as
10:52
they beat the burnt Ash side three to one goals coming from Wendy Blackall,
10:56
Janet Fuller and Emmy Gainsford, despite the game being briefly halted due to a
11:01
Hailstone blizzard. Now, last last Sunday, it was yeah, I went
11:07
down to the Three Hills and what's the wonderful game of hockey? And I
11:11
was caught up with an old friend of mine called Brian Murrell. But we're
11:15
going to play some music and we're going to do another report on the hockey
11:18
under fourteens. Well, great punches tracked there from Wax the Bridge to Your
11:41
Heart. It didn't make many songs, just a couple, but there was
11:48
a product. So byproduct of TENCC. When TENCC packed up, two of
11:52
them got together again and put that song out and yeah, I really really
11:56
enjoyed that one. So I'm playing a bit more music today because we haven't
12:01
got a guest in and it just kind of gives me a chance to have
12:05
a look at the playlist and there's a great playlist. I've got to thanks
12:07
for us for putting all these great songs in and it does make a little
12:11
bit of difference to me. I mean, when we have guests in,
12:13
we might have a nearly a twenty minute chat and if you get two of
12:18
them in an hour. So I get the chance today to play loads more
12:20
music. But it's time to do a bit of sport now. On Sunday
12:26
afternoon, I went to the Three Heels to watch the Optimist Under fourteen boys
12:30
team take on Saffron Walden in the quarter final of the England Hockey Tier two
12:35
National Cup. Well it's a good job I got there before the game started
12:37
because Oscar Daily and no relation by the way he put the ball in the
12:41
back of the saffron Walden net with less than a minute on the clock.
12:45
The Ops looked much the more confident side, but it took until halftime before
12:48
Alfie Ball made it too nil. The Ops Boys came out the stronger in
12:52
the second half, with Oscar getting his second goal and Harry Rowe making it
12:56
for n Il. Now bearing in mind this game is played with four periods
13:01
of fifteen minutes each, so if you like three quarter time the opposite switched
13:05
off a little bit and saffron Walden pulled two goals back. The next came
13:09
the goal of the match from me. This was scored by will Ball,
13:11
who calmly rounded the goalkeeper and stuffed it in a net and then went on
13:16
to score again, making it a final score of six goals to three and
13:20
a place in the semifinals. So with four teams in the semifinals, if
13:24
an away fixture is made, the other three teams are as follows. First
13:30
is Wallingford, which is thirteen miles south of Oxford. That's a one way
13:33
trip of one hundred and twenty six miles. The second one is Winchester,
13:37
one way trip of one hundred and thirty miles. Then that's just north of
13:41
Southampton. But the third one, which they don't really want a tool is
13:45
Timperlei, which is a suburb of Manchester, and that's a one way trip
13:48
of nearly two hundred and seventy miles. Now, while I was watching the
13:52
under fourteens, I was joined by an old friend of mine in every sense
13:56
of the word, Brian Murrell. And now I don't mean that disrespectfully when
14:00
I say an old friend, but when I tell you that Brian is still
14:03
playing for the men's seventh team and that in April he joins and not for
14:07
the first time the England listened to this the England over eighties national hockey side
14:13
as they will welcome a Dutch side of a Dutch over eighties side for a
14:18
match to be staged in Canterbury. Now we chatted at length about his England
14:22
career and how he's trying to stay injury free whilst enjoying his hockey with the
14:26
seventh team and it was very interesting to note that he told me that some
14:31
of the under four teens that we were actually walking watching played for the seventeenth
14:35
the day before, and there was definitely a few of them that you could
14:39
tell. And I don't know much about hockey, but you could tell they
14:41
were much mature hockey wise for their age, after gaining experience by playing against
14:46
senior opposition. Now, Brian is a very private and modest man who doesn't
14:50
like a fuss, and he declined the offer of coming on the show,
14:54
but you've got to take your hat off to him, and he still plays
14:56
the game he loves at the age of eighty three, not just for his
15:01
club but for his country. So I'll be keeping an eye on that result
15:05
in April. Oh. By the way, a coach for the under fourteens
15:09
is Drian Rowe, and the Shoe texts me to say that the draw had
15:13
been made for this MS and that the boys are lucky enough to have a
15:16
home tie against Winchester on the seventeenth of March, so avoiding along away journey.
15:22
The finals been scheduled for the twenty eighth of April. No venue chosen
15:26
as yet, they might choose a venue somewhere halfway between where the two teams
15:30
are, and I will say that my last bit of hockey news is hopefully
15:35
coach Adrian will be free to come into the studio a couple of days before
15:37
the semi finals played. So that was a really really exciting morning for me
15:43
and it was great to cratch up with Brian Murrell. He is such a
15:46
gentleman, you know, and he deserves all the credit he can for just
15:50
playing that lovely game. Right time for the music now, and we've got
15:54
Criss Cross and a song called jump Penny Lane there. I member ors I
16:18
current track there and you know what, I've been to Penny Lane and it's,
16:22
to be honest, there's nothing special about it. It's just an ordinary
16:25
street in Liverpool and it's got the barber shop there where he shaved and of
16:29
the customer. But it's just it's known all around the world. And if
16:34
you go on one of the go to Liverpool and go to on one of
16:37
those magical mystery tours, it will take you to Penny Lane and it takes
16:42
you to Strawberry Fields and you've got to have your picture done by the sign
16:47
Penny Lane. Gold knows how many of those signs have gone missing over the
16:51
years. The first one definitely did. Whoever's got that is sitting on a
16:55
gold mine. But if you get a chance and you love your sixties music,
16:59
go to liver, go to the cavern, do the ferry, cross
17:03
the Mersey, you will have such a wonderful time, I'll tell you.
17:06
Okay, so times knocking on a little bit, and because I've got no
17:08
guessing, I've been talking a lot. I'm playing a lot of music.
17:11
But we've got some cracky music on the playlist today and I'm just enjoying it
17:18
so much. Next week I have got some guests in I'll tell you about
17:21
those in the second half of the show. So but coming up in the
17:25
second half, I'm hoping to catch up to date and bring what sorry bring
17:29
you up to date. I've got some rugby news, I've got some running
17:32
news. I went to the ash for ten k on Sunday, so i'd
17:36
be telling you about that. And I've got some news from the Saints basketball
17:38
team, and also a little catch up on the wheelchair basketball team that top
17:44
of the league. You know, they're doing really really well. There's not
17:47
many games left to go, so there's every chance that they could win that
17:49
league, right, So I'm gonna hopefully this song will take us up to
17:55
the news. And this is Gabrielle. Give me a little more time and
17:57
I'll see you after break. One oh five point nine Academy, The Folkston
18:03
and Hide Squads Podcast. One five point nine Academy, The Folkston and Hide
18:19
Squats Podcast. This is Kevin Daily, back with you here on one of
18:33
five point nine for the Folks on a Hive sports show. I do apologize,
18:37
but I couldn't pin any guests down this week. It is a tough
18:41
time to try and get him in on a Thursday midday. But I might
18:45
even have three guests in next week. It's it's like buses. You eat,
18:48
none come along, then you get through at once. Well, we've
18:56
still got some more local sports to get through. I've got rugby to tell
19:00
you about. Some running news. Me and Missus Ferrick went up to Ashford
19:06
to watch the Ashford ten k I'll be telling you about that. And we've
19:10
been catching up with the Folks and Saints basketball and the Folkston Arrows wheelchair basketball.
19:15
So there's plenty in this half. Oh and I'm going to do my
19:18
little bit about Heartbeat. Play a couple of songs from Heartbeat. I love
19:23
Heartbeat. I know I'm going to get a lot of stick for this,
19:26
but they play such great songs from the sixties, always linked in with the
19:30
story. And I know I've told you before, but I've been to Heartbeat
19:37
Country. I had a point in the adens Field Arms and I loved it.
19:41
In the meantime, we have got starting the second half, we've got
19:45
super Trump and Dreamer and then some local music, you know, no local
20:14
music there or FeelA, and you know what I used to love working with
20:18
all FeelA. They are such a lovely two sisters and a brother, A
20:22
bit like the cause. Really, you know, you think, how could
20:25
they work together? They surely they must argue all the time, but they
20:27
made some great tracks and got to know mom and Dad and they're just a
20:32
lovely, lovely big family. They're kind of gone their separate ways now,
20:34
which happens, you know, people growing up and making their own direction in
20:40
life. But it's lovely to hear them back on local music. Oh Radio
20:45
is time for a bit of rugby news now now with the Six Nations taking
20:48
part of the weekend, folks in Rugby Club's third fifteen was the only result
20:52
I could find, but it was good news as they beat Sheppy by twenty
20:56
seven points to seven. This lifted them off the bottom of the table,
21:00
one place above Faversham. The Saturday, all three teams are in action.
21:03
The first fifteen welcome Matstone to the Burlington Fields who are in eighth position in
21:07
the league, whilst Folks Doing have slipped down to fourth out of twelve teams.
21:11
The second fifteen are away at Snowden who are sixth out of ten,
21:15
whilst the Seconds are third in the table and the third team are at home
21:19
to Old Graves Indians who are fourth and as we said earlier, the Thirds
21:23
on our ninth out of ten teams. And looking back at the weekend sixth
21:29
Nations Ireland certainly looked unstoppable whilst England lost to Scotland. But you have to
21:33
feel for the Italians. Did you see that finale? Ah and nail bitten?
21:37
Was it now? Kasher missed it? This was how it went.
21:41
The score line's thirteen all, and it had passed the eightieth minute of the
21:45
game. But unlike most games, the game doesn't end in the eightieth minute.
21:49
It carries on, especially if a team just won a couple of points.
21:53
It carries on until the ball goes out of play, so it could
21:56
go on for another five minutes. Anyway, it was thirteen all and the
22:00
Italians had to just score with quite a straightforward conversion to win the game.
22:07
Now, the kicker has a countdown of thirty seconds in which he must kick
22:10
the ball. With about ten seconds left on the clock, the ball wabbled
22:14
and fell off the tee, so Paolo Garbizzi had to rush to replace the
22:18
ball, step back take his run up. No doubt his concentration and his
22:22
focus had been disturbed. However, he hurriedly took the kick and it agonizingly
22:29
sailed and it hit the upright, the outside of the upright, and they
22:33
missed the chance, denying them of the victory. It would have been the
22:37
first time that Italians have been in France for a very very long time,
22:41
if in fact they have ever beaten them at all. And it was such
22:45
a drama, it really was. Everybody felt for the Italians. They played
22:48
so so well. Lady horsiver a bit of music and oh I haven't heard
22:53
this one for a long time. XTC make him plans for Nigel. Well,
23:25
a really strange song there called a by a group called Space a female
23:29
of the species. And I wonder whether our presenter in chief Ross put that
23:34
in on purpose, because do you know what they is today February twenty ninth,
23:40
and do you know what that means? Be careful, fellas, don't
23:41
go home too early, because if you're just in a relationship, perhaps living
23:47
together, it's traditional that the female of the species can get down on one
23:51
day and ask you to marry them, putting you in a sport and oh
23:56
dear, I don't think i'll go home today, right So anyway, once
23:59
again, I've been watching my recorded episodes of Heartbeat, and you know what,
24:03
I know I'll get a lot of stick for this, but I just
24:06
loved the songs and I just love the way that they link in with the
24:08
sixties music, with the storyline. For example, when I was watching last
24:12
night, there was a lady retired and moved to Yorkshire, lovely, prim
24:17
and proper lady, and she loved her painting, and she was in her
24:19
garden painting a quaint little cottage and this song came on. I am just
24:34
mad, She's just there. We go Donovan there. I bet you haven't
24:48
heard that for a long time. Nineteen sixty six. And as I said,
24:53
this lady who was doing her painting in the front garden there and this
24:57
farmer come along. And this lady loved the countryside, but she soon changed
25:03
the mind when the farmer, the next door farmer, he was doing muck
25:06
spreading in the field next door, and it went all over her and her
25:08
canvas. So I should have seen her. I could smell it through the
25:11
tilly, I'll tell you anyway. The next scene that was a little Boy
25:15
about a little boy. He was around about ten years old. He was
25:19
constantly at the beck and call of his mum, who wasn't very well.
25:22
She was pretty poorly and she got very lonely. She wouldn't let him play
25:26
football, and sometimes she made him stay home from school and just sit there
25:30
while she fell asleep on a sofa. So whilst all this was going on,
25:34
this particular song, I was focusing on the poor young lad and this
25:40
is what they played the Worry. Well. What a great track that was,
26:23
and it just fitted in so well with the storyline about this poor little
26:26
ten year old. It's a heartbeat always as a happy ending always has a
26:32
happy ending though, And yeah, it's really really if you get a chance
26:36
to just go on YouTube and listen to some music and see how it affects
26:40
the scenario at the time. And someone that loved to sing songs on Heartbeat
26:45
was Gina, the Liverpool bar maid from the aidens Field Arms. And I've
26:52
had a pint in the aidens Field Arms, you know, Have I told
26:53
you that before? Probably now she went on to sing songs. It's just
26:57
like Lulu. She was kind of Lulu look alike, but Lulu did once
27:02
appear on the show. But one of the many particular favorites that I enjoy
27:07
her singing was this one, and it's her rendition of the Supremes and where
27:12
did Our Love Go? Vo Devo, let me go, Supremes? Where
27:33
did our Love Go? Come? On? Girls? Which one were you?
27:34
Was you the one in the middle, Dinnah Ross or was you one
27:37
of those ones in the background. We don't hear much about it anymore,
27:41
but this is the very reason why I love Heartbeat, and only the early
27:45
ones, the sixties ones, because the story relates, and if you like,
27:51
I grew up in those times and I just those music I've been playing
27:55
today will still be going in twenty years time, Rightio, So are we
28:00
going to play? What's the time? Okay? Perhaps I will do a
28:03
bit of sport as it is a sports show. Well. Last Sunday morning
28:07
myself and Missus Ferrett went to watch the Ashford ten k. It was a
28:11
relaxing morning for me, not being on the mic, not setting up at
28:14
the crack of dawn, just watching and enjoying. Following loads of running friends
28:18
who I never normally get to talk to when I'm busy. Eleven runners from
28:21
the Folks and Running and Athletic Club took part. First mail across the line
28:25
was Simon Ramsey, who actually finished fourth overall in a time of thirty six
28:29
minutes and four seconds, followed by Nicki Goodwin who was third lady overall in
28:33
forty one minutes of fifty eight seconds. Special congratulations go to Torbyn Jessen thirty
28:40
nine to twenty one now he was the first in his VET male sixty age
28:44
group, and Kathrine O'Connor forty four to thirty nine she was first in the
28:48
female VET fifty in her age group. So World un two Tauburn and Katheryne
28:52
there for winning your age groups. Other times where Tony's got fifteen nineteen,
28:59
Diane Parsons fifty one eleven, Phil Bridge's fifty one twelve, Jenny Quinn fifty
29:04
four to twelve, Jonathan Drinkwater fifty seven forty five, Autum Richardson won our
29:10
three minutes and nine seconds and Katherine Curtis won hour nineteen exactly seven. S
29:17
Avcent Harriers also took part. Private place went to former guests of the show.
29:21
Darren Scrivens all his guests of the show in the last couple of weeks
29:23
ago. There's so many former guests of the show that are still putting out
29:26
excellent sporting performances. Anyway. Darren was twelve overall b and his PEB by
29:33
a minute in a time of thirty eight minutes, twenty six seconds. Other
29:37
times were Mike Hayley forty six forty three, Craig Hoveman forty nine twenty seven,
29:41
Jenny Spalane fifty three fourteen, Steve Waite in Now he also knocked a
29:47
minute off his PEB in a time of fifty three forty four, Ian McMahon
29:52
fifty four thirty and Carolyn Waite's fifty six twenty six now. The winner was
29:56
a lively twenty one year old called we Gatar's her home from Ashford Athletic Club,
30:02
in a time of thirty one minutes thirty seven seconds. Now he is
30:04
a protege of a coach for the club, Stella Bando. Now. Sue
30:08
and I have known Stella for many years and it was great to catch up
30:11
with her now. She seemed a little bit nervous and a bit excited and
30:15
a bit anxious as another one of her pupils, Marshall Smith, was running
30:18
in the Brighton Half Marathon, a race in which he came second last year.
30:22
Well later on that afternoon I checked the results for the half and was
30:26
pleased to find out that Marshall Will gone one better and one in a time
30:30
of one hour, seven minutes seventeen seconds, eleven seconds ahead of his nearest
30:33
rival. So massive congratulations must go to coach Stella. She must be very
30:37
proud of her two star pupils Marshall and Wegata both winning races eighty miles apart.
31:12
There we go. That's the original Buddy Holly Heartbeat song. I've finally
31:18
had my heartbeat fixed. This week that's because we've got had no guests in
31:22
and I've had plenty of time to just have a chat and play a bit
31:25
more music. I might cancel my guests for next week. I've enjoyed it
31:27
so much, but no, no, next week, I've got to I'll
31:30
tell you about that in a minute, right, because I've still got a
31:33
bit more sport to do, and we've got news from the Saints basketball team.
31:37
This gets a bit complicated. I'll try to explain it. Now.
31:40
The boys under fourteen's beat seven Oaks by ninety seven points to twenty five.
31:45
Now, sadly, the under eighteens lost to the talented Northfleet Crusaders by one
31:48
hundred and ten points to forty four. The under twelve mixed team, and
31:52
I did find out that the age group of under twelve is a mixed boys
31:56
and girls, and then when they get to fourteen, they go into each
32:00
gender of the girls order boys. Anyway, the under twelves mixed team beat
32:05
Worthing Thunder by eighty nine points to thirty six. And then they played a
32:08
different Worthing team and beat them by ninety four points to sixteen. Now,
32:14
if that wasn't enough, the under fourteen's team took on two Worthing under fourteen's
32:17
team and beat both of them. I mean, what an achievement. That's
32:22
four games are without defeat. Four games to Folks them against Worthing. But
32:25
the under fourteen story doesn't end there. What it is is the Worthing have
32:30
got so many children down in that area that they managed to put two teams
32:34
together and put them in the same league. So if Folks then go down
32:37
to Worthing there is a chance. I'm sure it's amicable that they played both
32:44
of them and the Saints have played Worthing are coming up to Folks them this
32:49
Saturday and they've got two games. They've got one eleven fifteen and then one
32:53
at five fifteen. That's amazing well done. Now other fixtures of the under
32:59
eighteens once again again they play Northfleet Crusaders. That's going to be a tough
33:04
game. The under sixteen boys played the Kent Panthers that they come from Rochester.
33:08
Then on Sunday the under sixteen girls play against the Cambridge Cats. Now
33:14
the Folks and Arrows Wheelchair basketball team sit top of the table, one point
33:17
above the Thames Valley Kings, with the game in hand, so if just
33:22
three more games to go before the season is over, they need to keep
33:24
the pressure on if they're to win the league. Last week they traveled to
33:28
Chichester and beat the Suthern Sharks by fifty seven points to thirty four. The
33:32
next their next fixture is not until the twenty third of March when they play
33:37
Herowood Heat, which means a trip to Cambridge. Now, the last times
33:40
these two teams met in Folkston, the Arrow has won by forty four points
33:44
to thirty six in a very close game. Right, a bit of music
33:47
now, as we are wrapping up the show, we just got some tracks
33:50
to play and this one is the David Bowley dancing in the street. Stop
34:00
you up David Bowie there. I'm not quite sure if Mick Jagger was in
34:24
there, but I do remember that a classic video with Bowie and Jagger dancing
34:29
industry. It's one of for them special live aid concerts. I think you
34:31
know a video It was really great when two super singers get together and then
34:37
they started doing kind of compilation. The idea caught on, didn't it.
34:40
So yeah, great times in the music industry. Well that's it for me
34:45
for another week. It looks like, yeah, another weekend coming up,
34:47
so let's hope all the local football goes ahead. They'll be playing right up
34:52
till Christmas. But no, the league, they got to get the fixtures
34:55
in, you know, And it could be that people like well, especially
35:00
Concord Rangers World Concorded Rangers. They're about five games behind already. They could
35:04
be playing Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday. You just don't know this. Running
35:08
the weathers that have never been so bad. Effects in the pitches, it's
35:12
been really, really tough. Next week I hope to have on the show
35:15
two members of the Nice Work running event team telling us what it's like,
35:21
if you like, behind the scenes, what it takes to put on a
35:22
running event. Now, this is just ahead of the twenty mile and a
35:28
half marathon at lid where many folks and athletes will be taking part in their
35:30
preparation for the build up to the London Marathon. Sort of turn up,
35:34
get your number and run, don't you. But there is so much more
35:37
to erase than meets the eye. There's so much behind the scenes, risk
35:42
assessments, medical cover the list just goes on and on and on. So
35:46
but next week I'm hoping to be joined by the managing director Rachel of Nice
35:54
Work, and also the chief timer, Kevan is going to be telling me
36:00
like what it's like. People expect their time, expect you to be right,
36:02
and you know, chip timing is quite a science, so listen out
36:08
next week. Well that's it for me. As I say, I've got
36:12
a pretty quiet, sporty weekend, but I'm sure something will crop up,
36:17
so stay dry and I'll catch up with you next week.
