2:19
Josh, how are you? Oh Kevin, how are you doing?
2:21
My friend? Yeah? Good? Thanks good, thanks for coming in.
2:23
Oh, thank you for having me back. Right, Yeah, it's been
2:24
a long time. Yes, you haven't aged a day. It's fantastic.
2:29
I don't know what your secret is, but I want it just a bit
2:30
grayer, yes, just a bit. We're both there, man, Right,
2:34
Josh, let's start with tell us a little bit about your career and
2:38
how you got into boxing. How were you when you first put your boxing
2:42
gloves on? When I started boxing, I was thirteen years old and I
2:44
was absolutely shocking by absolutely fell in love with the sport instantaneously. So through
2:49
hard work and dedication, I learned the skills. But yeah, for me,
2:53
it wasn't like naturally talented. It was a struggle. But I mean
2:55
I used to win my fights just purely on my fitness and dedication. I'd
3:00
beat kids that were far better than me. But you know, they're count
3:02
punching me and I'm just find everything but the kitchen sinking them. So for
3:06
me, I learned the hard way how to box. But I wouldn't change
3:08
for the world. It's changed changed my life. So when did it sort
3:12
of start to take structure, if you like? After thirty amateur fights,
3:16
and after it took about thirty fights, and my coach took me to Denmark
3:21
and he just goes watched this ladd in the ring, and I watched the
3:23
lad of the ring and he's just what's he doing? And now I said,
3:27
I don't understand. It looks like he's kind of floating backwards and because
3:30
he's counterpunching. And then then I started learning how to CounterPunch. But up
3:34
until that fight, up to that time, sorry, I was just throwing
3:37
punches for the sake of So I started to learn how to box, right,
3:39
gotcha? So what were your early days in folks? And did you
3:45
you want a club? Yeah? No, So what do you mean?
3:47
Yeah? So I walked in there one summer when I was thirteen, fell
3:52
in love with it and had my first fight with him three months. I
3:53
loved the list could fall back in two thousand and four or five, I
3:57
believe, Yeah, yeah, and that was a big time for you,
3:59
was it must have felt like a pro. My first ever fight was in
4:03
my hometownd, which I was very very proud of me, you know,
4:06
lucky to get that as well. So I was very happy to have that
4:09
and I won, by the way, I just want to point that out.
4:13
So, I mean those early days were were your fights competitive or would
4:18
you say you was sort of much much stronger than than you had the more
4:23
desire. Yeah, yeah, so they were. Obviously when you first start
4:26
outs, you're a novice, and then when you go into your first championships,
4:29
your class is like an open class fighter. Then you go into elite
4:30
championship class an elite amateur. So my first first fifteen fights, I was
4:35
class as a novice. Then I went into my first title championship was called
4:40
the Golden Golden Belt, and then from that I was class as an open
4:44
boxer. But I won that Golden Belt. I was devastated though, because
4:46
the name is very misleading. I thought was I was going to win a
4:48
Golden Belt. I didn't. I've got a certificate. I was devastated.
4:54
So you moved on up to what was your first professional fight. My first
4:58
professional fight was back in two thir and fifteen. That was in Your Call,
5:02
London, and that fight I won in thirty three seconds, which I
5:06
was also. Yeah, I trained for nine weeks and I've done thirty three
5:11
seconds worth of work. So all that training and it's all over and down.
5:14
Oh yeah. But yeah, at the time, it was amazing.
5:16
You know, it was just no, I'll never forget it. But we
5:21
were talking about this off here just now. But have you had a fight
5:25
where you've trained for nine or ten weeks solid and then the opponent pulls out
5:28
at the last minute. Yeah, So I was meant to box in Folks
5:31
and late last year I was boxing the former Commonwealth champion. But yeah,
5:38
trained for a long time and then he pulled out a week beforehand with a
5:41
little cut between his finger and his thumb side to you know, I didn't
5:44
get a chance to box in my hometown, which I'm boxed in Folktions in
5:47
about ten years, so that'd been nice. But you know, it's meant
5:50
to be. It's meant to be. Is that a big anti climax because
5:53
you're hearing to go, is you know do you think, Kevin, what
5:56
do you the next day? You think? Oh, do you go home
5:58
and punch the wall or no? I wont and cried into my pillow.
6:00
Mate. Right, So, how many professional fights have you had? I've
6:05
had thirteen professional fights, and how have you got one out of thirsd I'm
6:10
fighting of one eleven. That means I've lost twice, Kevin, I don't
6:13
want to talk about it. These things happen, you know, No,
6:15
you didn't lose your game seconds. I come second, I come second.
6:19
Right. So, but you've you're going through a little change now giving back
6:27
to boxing. What you've got out of it. We talk about that shortly.
6:30
Yeah, but what you're up to these days apart from the coach,
6:32
you know, you're still keeping from Yeah. So obviously I train. I
6:35
train rigiously, like every single day, whether I'm running or boxing. I'm
6:42
constantly constant in the gym trying to improve my my boxing abilities rather than improve
6:46
my fitness. My fitness is always going to be there, but you can
6:48
always be better at what you're doing. So I'm constantly try and improve my
6:50
boxing, a bility which has happened massively. Yeah, and have you got
6:55
any role models? In a professional game that you look up to and think,
6:58
you know, I like your style, really look up to myself,
7:00
you know, honestly, I like it's not a round model, but I
7:05
like the way box you love watching Prince and seehim, I've got the same
7:09
kind of shorts him, like a little skirting. Its very flamboyant as a
7:12
man before his time. So for me, one of my one of my
7:15
biggest idols would be Prince and Zimhammad. Yeah yeah, right, So we're
7:18
going to talk about the youngsters coming on. But what has it done for
7:23
you? Is it kind of was you a little rebel when you was little?
7:26
I was more I was the rebel. Yeah. So I struggled in
7:29
school with the academic side of things and as a as a thirteen year old.
7:32
Rather than put your hand up, I go, miss, I don't
7:33
understand it. I just thought, now I'm going to leave it. And
7:36
then all of a sudden, the teacher's got this kind of like you know,
7:41
idea of you that you're the naughty kids, so they put less attention
7:43
in you. So before I know, I was falling behind massively, and
7:46
luckily for me, I just happened to walk into the boxing club, and
7:48
it just it changed my behavior and the person I was. You know,
7:51
I couldn't talk to the coaches the way I was talking to my teachers because
7:55
you learn things like this have been the respects straight away. So for me
7:59
by changed my whole verall behavior and outlook on on on what was being a
8:05
teenager. Yeah, yeah, and are you trying to kind of not instill
8:07
that but you know pass that on to you on one hundred pent and still
8:11
that you know, you know, especially the education side of things as well.
8:16
Like I struggled massively trying to get a job after I was kicked out
8:18
of school. So you know, I want to go work for Saga.
8:22
What qualifications you got, Josh? Nothing? So I had to go do
8:26
jobs that nobody wants to do really, So I was working in the kitchen,
8:28
porter the burst in and in other places. And yeah, the whole
8:33
idea is to let the importance of education because what you get in school,
8:39
we know, help you after school. I found out the hard way,
8:41
and my my sessions and my inspecial talks are trying to help kids understand that
8:46
school is one of the most important things. Okay, right, We're going
8:52
to play a bit of music now, but we're going to come back and
8:54
we're going to talk about about your classes, about your academy, your one
8:58
to ones, and so don't go anywhere. This is a bit of a
9:01
Dia Straits over four minutes, the ere of the Dire Straits and Sultan's a
9:15
swing. Well, we're back in the studio, so welcome back, Josh.
9:18
How are you all right? Man? Good? Right, now,
9:20
let's start on the other side of the coin with what you're up to.
9:24
Now, what gave you the idea of starting up on your own? So
9:28
I just like the idea of coaching kids because for me, like I said,
9:31
being coached at the folks and Boxing Club changed my life. So I'd
9:33
like to give that back and if it happens to one person, then it's
9:37
been a success. But you know, I love coaching kids and I hate
9:39
working for other people. So for me, it was a no brainer.
9:43
Fair enough, And what exactly are you coaching? Tell us about like the
9:48
after school club? So the after school club is designed for kids of primary
9:52
school kids age. So looking back at boxing now, when I started boxing
9:56
I was thirteen, I felt another of it. But if you're ten years
9:58
old, there's nothing fun about going to a boxing club. You know,
10:01
you're punching the bag, you sit up bush ups. Unless you're really into
10:03
that kind of stuff, it's not fun. So my afters called boxing Club,
10:05
focus on the fun side of boxing, if you can find a fun
10:09
side, so they'll learn the skills of boxing in various games and races and
10:13
competition and stuff like that. You know, so every every drill is an
10:18
objective in it, so whether it be who can front of much punches in
10:20
thirty seconds or things like that. And it's going fantastic. You know.
10:26
I'll get between ten fifteen, twenty twenty five kids turn up on a Tuesday
10:30
and Thursday. So it's going really well. And like I said, every
10:33
time I finish, it's not less kids winging because they're out of breath that
10:37
they're just smiling when they're leaving. I see you, to see you.
10:39
You literally get any girls. So yeah, I've got a couple guys,
10:41
like about three or four girls. A lot of people think boxing is just
10:43
the man's but like boxing is men's and women's. But like I said,
10:48
mine is the fun side of boxing. They learn to box in the funnest
10:52
way possible. So when they get a little bit older, they could take
10:54
a little bit more seriously, they can then do that and they've got a
10:56
kind of a ground base of of skills already. Yeah yeah, So,
11:01
I mean you've you've touched on the benefits, but do you get any children
11:05
halfway through don't like it? They want to start? No, Hello,
11:09
No, I've never had a kid, so I don't want to come tomorrow.
11:13
I don't want to know never. That's great. Yeah yeah, And
11:16
what about the parents? Do you encourage them to come, you know,
11:18
come and watch? Yeah, like most of them the goal can I stay.
11:20
I encourage the states so they can see what the session's about and see
11:22
what their kids are up to. And again, yeah, one hundred percent,
11:26
I encourage parents to come watch. So yeah, there are always this.
11:30
I've got just as much parents there as I have as kids. That's
11:33
great. Now there's another string that I think you'd really like to get into.
11:39
I'm sure you've got into before. That's going into schools. So what
11:43
I used to de liver boxing, deliver boxing for the sports shops, and
11:46
I went in every school in the district and delivered boxing and the kids loved
11:50
it. That like the school love it. You know, boxing used to
11:54
be in the curriculum back in the eighties, I believe, and I think
11:58
that it should understand being the crew of now not not for kids to compete,
12:01
just for the fitness side of things and to know that if anything did
12:05
happen outside, they can look after themselves. But again, I focus on
12:09
the fundamental, so teaching the kids the correct way, the proper way of
12:11
boxing, rather than fighting. And yeah, so I'm going to be going
12:16
into schools and delivering boxing through through my academy, which I'm really looking forward
12:20
to. Yeah, sounds great. And if a child comes along to your
12:26
your classes after five or six weeks, can you see the improvement one hundred
12:31
percent? Like I said, I do focus on the fun side of it,
12:33
but every now and then I've got to be serious Josh, and right,
12:35
guys, come on, I'm trying to help you here, because sometimes
12:37
I make it so fun they just they just kind of forget that it is
12:41
a boxing class and it's like a youth club. Yeah, cobody club.
12:45
But you know, I can see improvements massively. And there's a few kids
12:48
that I have joined my academy that I now do one to one sessions with
12:52
because their parents are Oh, he really likes it. He wants to get
12:54
a little bit more serious here. So I'd say there's about four or five
12:56
kids that are now coach on the weekends and after schools and stuff that's going
13:01
really well as well. Excellent. So do you do one to ones with
13:05
adults? Yeah? On one. So when I first become a personal trainer,
13:09
it was mainly adults and then all of a sudden, it's my kid
13:11
wants to learn a box. My kid wants to do this. So I'd
13:13
say I'd say seventy five percent of my PT clients are kids, which is
13:18
absolutely fantastic. Yeah. Yeah, and I don't know the parents come along.
13:24
Do you have a chat with the parents afterwards? Are they saying that
13:26
my kid was a bit worried about coming. Yeah, so they absolutely can't
13:30
wait to come in one or two of them. So we didn't know what
13:31
it was a bit expected, but they absolutely fell in love it. Like
13:33
I said, when you think boxing your finger, it's a dangerous sport,
13:37
and now it can be dangerous, but I'm not coaching that side of things.
13:41
I'd never encourage the kids to fight each other, so that it's all
13:43
non contact. They just do pads and drills and things like that. They
13:48
never never hiting each other. If they want to actually hit each other,
13:50
then they can go and compete later on. But yeah, mine is just
13:54
the fun side of things. So what ages are they now? We say
13:56
after school? But what ages? So primary school kids as six to twelve?
14:00
Yeah, yeah, well something here. Well I think second school kids
14:03
there as well, but yeah, six or twelve of my clubs for yeah,
14:05
I mean you're give them a warm up before they start going. Yeah,
14:07
So, like I said, the warm up is a skill based game.
14:11
So like, for example, a classic warm up game would be a
14:15
game attack. The idea of tag is not get taged. The idea of
14:16
boxing is not get punched. So that's a perfect game with a lot of
14:20
relays. We do a lot of reaction games. But yeah, with loads
14:24
loads of decent warm ups in my club. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay.
14:26
And so are you hoping to find a champion or you're just quite happy
14:31
to I'm happy just installing the skills and kids and if they want to then
14:35
go draw an amateur boxing cup. That'll be fantastic. Eventually, after my
14:39
professional career, I would consider turning my club into an amateur boxing club.
14:46
But for now, my academy focuses on the skills and the fundamentals and the
14:52
box and IQ rather than having the kids compete, because not everyone wants to
14:56
compete. They just want to learn how to look after themselves and learn how
14:58
to box. Yeah, and in between the classes, if there's only,
15:01
like say, someone can only make it once a week, do you give
15:03
them any sort of homework to do? No? No, So obviously I
15:07
encourage all the kids to work out as well. Anything I do exercise was
15:09
that it's so simple, it's all body weight exercise that they can do at
15:11
home in their spare time as well. Brilliant. So this is really catching
15:16
on, I think. I mean, I've seen that your Facebook page is
15:18
growing and seeing little clips and the kids really look to be having fun.
15:22
Yeah, of course this is me we're talking about. I'm a super fun
15:24
guy, Kevin. It's a comedy club with a bit of boxer. That's
15:31
right, right, So it's time to let's say pass on that information.
15:37
Well, first of all, in your boxing career. I love name dropping
15:41
on this show. Is there anybody that you really want to thank? Yeah?
15:43
Obviously the main man for me on the main two men as mister Harry
15:48
Slater who started in my boxing journey when I was a kid, Barry who
15:52
took over. You've got Dean who's one of the main coaches there. And
15:58
obviously one of my first coaches was Mark through who was in the corner of
16:00
my first fight. These are all men that have helped me out in their
16:03
own ways throughout my career and again, without them, I wouldn't be the
16:07
person, not just the box of the person i'm today. So I'm very,
16:10
very happy to have those men in months. Those four names. Actually,
16:12
I'm pretty sure that they've been going for a very long time, haven't
16:15
they. We've had a couple I'm running out of things to say. But
16:25
those four people, they've either been on the show or they're still around,
16:30
still giving back, and that's great. And yeah, of course, it's
16:32
like I said, box is one of them sports that you can't keep to
16:34
yourself. Once you've learned it, you're meant to pass it on. This
16:37
you know, it's not a selfish sport. You install the morals and the
16:41
skills into other people. It makes it even more worthwhile. Okay, So
16:45
if anybody has been listening, to this show out there and the driving around
16:49
and they want to get hold of you and your classes. Tell us how
16:52
do they do that? So my classes for my score Box and Carve runs
16:56
on a Tuesday and Thursday at Folks and the Sports Center in the main Sports
17:00
hall. It's four fifteen till five pm and their first session is free,
17:06
so anyone thinking about it, they can just turn up and have a go
17:08
for free and if they want it then they can join afterwards. But they
17:12
don't. Maybach part ways and what have you got any Facebook pages or Yeah?
17:17
So I've got a team Kennedy Boxing Academy on Facebook which all my details
17:22
of the classes and all the videos of the sessions I do are on there
17:25
in case you want to look at them first anything else. So I think
17:27
we covered it all. Yeah, I just want to give thanks to a
17:30
cut the people as well outside of my coaches. So I've got a sponsor
17:33
who sponsors my academy, which is Events in Kent. They've funded me so
17:37
I can get all the nice equipment for the Kids'll shout out to the Folks
17:41
and Sports and if they let me deliver the sessions there. They're always really
17:44
polite to me and welcome my PG clients. If anyone out there is looking
17:48
at sponsorship, I'll be either me as an athlete or my boxing academy.
17:53
Obviously, if you just head over to my Facebook page again, it's Team
17:56
Kennedy Boxing Academy. I can then forward you on their sponsorship package and you
18:00
can see the advantages from a company's brilliant Well, Josh, thanks are coming
18:03
in become a fantastic I mean, I know you've got to shoot off to
18:07
sports Centinels cracking. We haven't kept you too long. But you do talk
18:11
a lot, don't I do. I do talk a lot. Josh,
18:15
thank you very much once again, and if anybody wants to get in touch,
18:18
please just look up those Facebook pages and go along, especially the parents.
18:22
As Josh said, the parents are most important. You realize that it's
18:26
it's fun as well to travel to take on high flying Billericky Town in an
19:10
issuing Premier Division fixture. Folkston came into this unchanged from Tuesday Night's defeat to
19:14
horn Church. Joe Coleman started in goal, Jason for Janie and Gale and
19:17
Callon Davis started at the back with Caine, Penn and Toby Byer and not
19:21
crying. Those wing back spots. Dean rant, Sadie Snogo and Eddie also
19:25
continued their trio in midfield, starting just behind Tom Derry and David Smith,
19:29
who led the line for Folkston. Michael Cabin Junior came onto the bench for
19:32
the first time for Folks and the Victor alongside him with Jake Goodman and Daddy
19:36
cole Chris Dessniong who was returning from injury, and Louis Collins. All five
19:40
were hoping to get on and change the game for Folkston. The game didn't
19:42
take long to go in and there's a ball played over the top of Frank
19:45
Maryfield thought he could get there and misjudged it horribly. Goalkeeper Joe Coleman came
19:49
charging out and got so the ball first. Frank Merryfield caught the Folks and
19:53
goalkeeper from where we were like the Bellericky Man could well be off. The
19:57
referee dipped into his pocket and gave a yellow car to Frankie Meryfield, but
20:02
Joe Carmon continued with the rest of the game with a dead leg. It
20:06
took just thirty two minutes for the first goal of the game. Sadie Sonogo
20:08
won the header off the goalkick and Dave Smith pounced on a loop ball.
20:12
Dan Wilts came charging out, but the Folks and man got their first ficked
20:15
it around the goalkeeper and the referee had no choice to point to the penalty
20:19
spot. Upstep Dave Smith from twelve yards. He was cool, calm and
20:23
collected and slotted it down to the goalkeeper's left town side and Folks on the
20:27
Victor had a one goal lead away from home in bill Ricky. It took
20:32
just four minutes for Folks into double their advantage. Goalscorer Dave Smith was on
20:36
the end of it again on the right hand side. This time he chose
20:37
to draw one into the penalty spot. Target man Tom Darry was there to
20:41
put it on a plate for another pen. Caine pen this time charging in
20:45
from the edge of the penalty area and the ball set up so kindly for
20:48
him and he slotted it calmly to that goalkeeper's left hand side once more,
20:52
and Folks on the Victor doubled their lead. Going into halftime. It's Bilricky
20:56
town Neil Folks in the Victor two. Billerricky made two changes at halftime try
21:00
and get himself back into the game, but the second half fizzled out,
21:03
with the only real chance of the second half falling to Michael Keedman, who
21:07
made his debut off for Folks in the Victor bench. He was slipped in
21:10
on the left hand side and he has so much pace to burn, blitzed
21:12
the fall back and got down into the penalty air and hit one low and
21:15
hard to the goalkeeper's left and Dan Wilkes got down smartly to tip it around
21:18
the post. So Folks and still only had that two goal cushion heading into
21:22
the ninetieth minute. Fast forward to the ninetieth minute and Frankie Merrifield was played
21:26
into the penalty ara on the right hand side. He drilled it low and
21:30
hard at Joe Coleman. It is near post. He was beaten very easily,
21:33
but he was still carrying that knock from the challenge from the goal scorer
21:37
earlier in the game. So Billy Ricky had one back, but they didn't
21:40
have any time to try and search for a second and it finished at the
21:44
New Lodge ground as Billy Ricky one, Folks in the Victor two drama wasn't
21:48
done there though, because Gary McCann had a few words to say to the
21:52
referee after full time and he was brandished a red card. So the Billy
21:55
Ricky manager saw red and was sent off. At the New Lodge Stadium,
22:00
Folks of them play Tuesday night against Craig Wonders where I'll bing you another match
22:03
report from full time here at the Nilas Stadium as Billericky Town one, folks
22:10
in the victor two. Charlie Prescott reporting from Billericky Well. Big thanks to
22:14
Charlie there and oh I am sorry there that jumped in a little bit quick.
22:18
That was scheduled to be just a minute or so later on in the
22:21
show. But we will come back with another report from Charlie very shortly so.
22:26
But what I want to talk about first is, in case you didn't
22:29
know, Maidstone are now playing a Coventry in the fifth round of the FA
22:33
Cup. After Coventry beat Chefl Wednesday by four goals to one on Tuesday.
22:38
The game is to be played on Monday, the twenty sixth to February at
22:41
seven forty five at Coventry. Now this arrangement is mainly for the TV,
22:47
which won't suit many Maidstone fans who might not now be able to travel,
22:51
and we'll have to sett all for watching it on ITV four or ITV X,
22:55
which is great for the club and then we're going to make loads of
22:56
money out of it. But I think you can't be a good old Saturday
23:00
afternoon fixture with a three pm kickoff for an FA Cup game. And I
23:03
must just mention this as well. Good luck to deal Town on Saturday as
23:07
they make a five hundred mile round trip to play Bridgewater in Somerset in the
23:11
fifth round of the FA VARs. It goes like this fifth round, sixth
23:15
round, semi final over two legs and then the final on the eleventh of
23:21
May. And I can remember going to Wembley back in the day in the
23:23
year two thousand when they actually went on and won the FA VARs. So
23:29
good luck to deal Town on Saturday. We're going back to Charlie now and
23:33
you've got history report on the Crag game which went on on Tuesday night for
23:37
folksing in Victor. You join me from the Archalive Stadium where the game finished
23:41
level, but the referee was the main talking point. Both of the Victor
23:45
had two enforced changes coming into this game, Kai McKenzie Lyle came in for
23:48
the injured Joe Cormon, while Malcaul Kentman Junior came in to replace Toby Byron,
23:52
who started the first of his free game ban. The slow starts of
23:56
the game here at the Arkaliz Stadium, they have a few niggerlie fouls to
24:00
start with. The referee dealt with well, but it wasn't until a thirty
24:03
ninth minute where the game really got going. Craig Wonder's Tom Bonner was wrestling
24:07
Dave Smith out on the right hand side corner flag and he obviously wanted the
24:11
Folks and number ten shirt, but the referee had no choice but to award
24:14
the free kick out by the corner flag. Upstepped Eddie Alsop on that wonder
24:18
of the right foot of his. He whipped the ball in, floated one
24:21
in towards a penalty spot and Dave Smith was there on the spot to head
24:23
it past Sean Rowley and Folks and the victor had a one goal lead going
24:27
into halftime. Craig One just started the better the two teams in the second
24:32
half, but they couldn't quite find that elusive goal. There are a few
24:36
questionable refereeing decisions that Dean Rant saw himself cautioned for and Sadie Sonogo picked up
24:41
a yellow card for a late challenge on a halfway line. Fast forward to
24:45
the seventy third minute where Folks and Victor had a corner from the right hand
24:48
side and starman Eddie Alsop came across to take it on that magic right foot
24:52
of his. He floated one up towards the far post and Sadie Sonogo was
24:56
there waiting and he hammered it home after scuffling the penal area, and he
25:00
doubled the Folks in advantage, so on the seventy third minute it was Folks
25:03
in it to two Cray Wonders nil. The game only got better from here.
25:08
David Douaga came flying in and the whole ground thought he was going to
25:12
be sent off, but the referee only chose to caution the man, so
25:15
Craig Wonders had a let off. With ten minutes to go in the game,
25:18
Andy Jury sense Cray were getting a foothold in the game and goalscorer Dave
25:22
Smith was replaced by Jake Goodman. As Folks have switched to a more defensive
25:26
approach for the last ten minutes. The referee continued his yellow cast three and
25:30
Kayi Merckenzie Lyle picked up a yellow card for time wasting and folks then we're
25:37
really looking to struggle in the last ten minutes of the game. The eighty
25:40
eighth minute was where the game turned. Craig Wonders looked like they played through
25:44
well on the right hand side. Sadie's Snogo got a whack through his troubles
25:47
off one of the Cray players and they whipped the ball into the box and
25:49
it eventually ended up of a corner, but the referee obviously saw something different
25:53
to the entire of the ground and Sadysgo saw his second yellow card of the
25:59
game and he was sent tough on the eighty eight so it's tied up a
26:02
nice finish for the away side, but folks were furious and it was a
26:06
very questionable decision from the referee, to say the least. The resulting corner
26:10
was whipped in and it was a scramble around on a penalty spot and on
26:12
the line, and there was questions whether the ball had crossed the line,
26:15
but the linesman said it has and Ellis Brown was there to tap it in
26:18
for Cray Wonders and they had a way back into the game. So ninety
26:22
minutes on the clock and it was Folks a limit to two. Cray Wonders
26:26
won. We had a finish on our hands. Phone come up to the
26:30
ninetieth minute now and everyone's expecting be to be four or five added on at
26:34
the most, and the referees baard went up and there were eight minutes added
26:38
on at the Alkaline Stadium. Meanwhile, while this was going on, Dean
26:42
Rantz had control of the ball in the left hand corner and Alfie Evans came
26:47
flying in again and once more the folks and fans thought there could be a
26:49
red card for the cray Man, but the referee seemed to bottle it again
26:53
and Alfie Evans seemed just received just a caution. We come up to ninety
26:59
seven minute now where another corner was taken from the right hand side and there's
27:03
a scramble on the box. There was hearts in mouth moment for folks and
27:07
fans and unfortunately for those supporting the boys in black and Amber, Anthony Cook
27:11
was there to scramble it in again for Cray Wonders. It wasn't pretty,
27:15
but Cray were level and Chris Lynch had some words to say to the referee.
27:18
He received a yellow card and he carried on and carried on, and
27:22
the referee decided then to show him a second yellow and the Folks's assistant manager
27:26
was sent off. The folks and fans gathered at the tunnel to tell the
27:30
referee what they thought of him at full time and he was greeted to a
27:33
whole house of booze as he walked off the field. But that wasn't going
27:37
to change anything here at the Alkaline Stadium. The referee definitely takes the headlines
27:41
for this. Folks can receive yet another red card to Sadie Sunogo will be
27:47
suspended in seven days time. But as I say, the referee takes the
27:51
headlines. But the game finishes Folks in the victor two Cray Wonders two.
27:56
Charlie Prescott reporting from the Alkali Stadium. Well thanks once again Charlie for that
28:00
report. And we move on now to Hide Town there and we listened to
28:04
first of Tom Elbi's reports on Saturday's game. We're against Ramsgate. A depleted
28:11
high Town side managed to take a good point in a roller coaster of a
28:14
match against Ramsgate, drawing two to two against the league leaders at reach Field.
28:18
Steve Watt, who was suspended for the match, made two changes from
28:21
the goalless straw at seven Oakstown as new signing Josh Wissen came into the starting
28:26
eleven for his first start for Highe along with Aaron Barnes who replaced Liam and
28:30
Ethan Smith, who also suspended. Heid got off to a dream start and
28:33
scored the opening goal as a free kick from Franny Colin landed on the head
28:37
of Lex Allen. Goalkeeper Tom Handler was unable to get a hand to it
28:41
and the ball rolled into the back of the net. Despite Hyde's dominance in
28:44
the first half, it was the rams who scored the next goal, which
28:47
came just before halftime as Jack s Paxman weaved his way past the high defense
28:52
and hit a shot past Steve Phillips to level the scores at the break.
28:56
The visitors managed to take the lead in the second half as on sixty nine
28:59
minutes the ball deflected into path of Alfie Paxman, who smammed the ball in
29:03
at the near posts. Much sourer the light of the visiting supporters. Despite
29:07
this, it was High throughout the final word they managed to break through the
29:10
Ramsgate defense before Jake Henbury smashed the ball in to make it two too.
29:14
The full time whistle blue to mark a well earned point for Hive against a
29:17
difficult opponent. The Cannons will be back in action again on Tuesday night,
29:19
it says, take on Earth and Belvidere at Reachfields. Kickoff is at seven
29:23
forty five pm. Well thank you Tom, and this time now Tom tells
29:29
us about the action that went on at Reachfield against Eeryth and Bildiere. A
29:33
lackluster hide side were well beaten on a damp Tuesday night at Reachfields as Earth
29:37
and Belvidere came away with a three to one win. Suspended manager Steve Watt
29:41
made one enforced change from the two to draw against Ramsgate on Saturday, as
29:45
the injured Aaron Barnes was appraised by Kean Garlinge making his first start for Hythe
29:49
on twelve minutes. It was High who scored the opener from a corner which
29:52
was sent in from Franny Colin and was met by a diving header from Johann
29:56
Kney Bryan. The ball sailed in to make it one nil to the can
30:00
Unfortunately, things got worse from this point onwards. Eerith managed to score three
30:04
minutes later when Henry Arnold was free on the left wing making a run forward
30:07
of the ball. Fullback Sam Fleisher tried to beat him to the goal but
30:11
ended up pulling his hamstring, giving Arnold's space across the ball and to path
30:15
of Macey Mallion, who knocked the ball in to give the visitors the equalizer.
30:18
It wasn't long before they took the leaders in the nineteenth minute, Henry
30:22
Arnold received the ball, turned Josh Wissen inside out and slotted it past Steve
30:26
Phillips. They managed to make it three to one with eight minutes remaining in
30:29
the first half as a cross was knocked on by Mallion to Matt Neary,
30:33
who tapped the ball in to make it three to one at halftime. There
30:36
were no cutting had chances in the second half as the two teams looked very
30:40
even but were unable to create opportunities. One positive for Hythe was substitute Luke
30:44
Russell, who came on in the first half and played several superb first time
30:48
passing crosses as well as making some crucial interceptions. The full time was the
30:52
Blue and the Hive players will surely feel that they had lost a winnable match
30:55
because of the defensive errors. Higher back in action on Saturday as they traveled
30:59
to Littlehampton in Town with the match kicking off at three pm. Well thanks
31:03
John there and finally our men pitchside Bradley Kilgareth sent me in this report on
31:07
the Hawkins' way game at Hals AFC, who play their matches at Earth Leisure
31:11
Center. Hawkins Town Football Club traveled to Halls Athletic Football Club on Saturday in
31:15
a Kent County Premier Division clash. Hales are sitting at the top of the
31:21
table with the Hawks in second place. Going into this game. Both teams
31:23
were level one points. However, Hales with a game in hand, so
31:26
this was a must win fiction for both sides. Hawkins can have asked for
31:32
a better start after captain Luke Reeve scored just six minutes into the game with
31:37
a tidy finish for inside the opposition box. The first twenty minutes Hawkins was
31:41
defending and attacking really well against the well organized Hall side halves. Made the
31:47
score one one after twenty three minutes, a bombardment of opposition players into the
31:51
hawkinsh box managed to connect a loose clearance. The first half continued much of
31:56
the same, both teams creating opportunities, however equally defending just as well.
32:00
It was Hols on the forty fourth minute which found the back of the net
32:02
again from a well worked goal and meant they were leading two to one at
32:07
the break. A big second half was needed from the Hawks. While there
32:10
was a few opportunities for both sides, it seemed quite a scrappy and flat
32:15
at times. How the football isn't always the most prettiest game in the world.
32:19
On the eighty third minute, Luke Greeve got a second goal of the
32:22
afternoon and managed to get the score line back to two to two, which
32:24
seemed we was on course for a solid point away from home against the well
32:28
disciplined organized in a strong Hall side. It was only then again on a
32:31
ninetieth minute, Luke Greeve made a fantastic run and managed to get his third
32:36
goal off the afternoon, putting Hawkings free to up and picking three points up
32:39
away from home. The action from the Hawkings bench and players just showed how
32:44
much this game meant to them. Hawkings are now sitting at the top of
32:46
the table while there was a long way to go. The team continues to
32:50
have a great season. The Hawks finished just nine points away from relegation last
32:53
year and the top format continues just shows how well Mike Sheridan, the first
32:58
team manager and the squad have work to get this far. Hawk's next victure
33:01
is Friday night at Ramsgate Stadium against Minster in the DFDs Challenge Shield, kick
33:07
off at eight pm, where we look to progress into the final. Come
33:09
on you Hawks. Well, big thank you to Bradley there. That's another
33:13
great report and our match reporters have been really busy this week, so a
33:17
massive thank you to Charlie, Tom and Bradley for giving up their time to
33:22
keep myself and the listeners here on Academy of FM up to date on the
33:25
local soccer scene. Well, after all that talking and sport, I'm worn
33:29
out and when it's time to listen for a bit of music from the Commodorees.
33:43
Commodore's There and Sale on from nineteen seventy nine. Okay, this hour
33:47
has flown by, because that just Josh Kennedy, you can speak for England
33:51
can't it, but it's great to see his enthusiasm coming across. Now coming
33:58
up in the second half, we've got some reports on rugby. We've got
34:01
a little wind up of half term camps. Is half term next week.
34:06
There's some cricket news, yes, cricket news already, hockey report, and
34:09
a special report on some local ladies that are making the news in our area.
34:15
It's kind of a girl power report. So taking us up to the
34:17
news. We've got Sister Sledge and Lost in Music and I'll see you later.
34:31
Welcome back to the second half of the show. Coming up, we
34:39
have got some rugby. We've got to lose on some half term camps,
34:51
lose on cricket training. It's been a massive weekend for the folks on optim
35:00
It is both Saturday and Sunday. And I've got a special report on the
35:07
loads and loads of forty local ladies who are making the news. We don't
35:19
go away. We've got another hour of local sport of music. Stay where
35:25
you are, get those slippers on. In the meantime we're going to carry
35:32
on. We've got the Foundations Baby in now that I found you, and
35:37
some local music from Liquid Jacket, Liquid jacket there and their version of a
35:55
rocketman, and if you get a chance to go and see him, then
35:59
please take it. I've seen them quite a few times actually, and I
36:02
saw them last time in the summer. Actually they were playing on the bandstand
36:07
a lovely sunny afternoon, you know. And they're great, live, really
36:10
really good performers. So take my advice, go and see them. Okay,
36:15
let's talk Rugby. Now. Their last Saturday I went along to watch
36:19
the folks from first fifteen in their top of the table clash against park House,
36:22
which resulted in a park House victory by twenty seven points to twelve.
36:28
Now I know rugby expert, just a keen spectator, but it seemed to
36:30
me that park House were the stronger of the two sides and kept Folks doing
36:35
pinned down for much of the game. However, when Folkstone did manage to
36:37
get away, they did look dangerous. Their centers and wingmen caused loads of
36:42
problems, resulting in one particularly spectacular try when a fire move set up by
36:47
Callum Palmieri passed to Charlie Watson, who then ran the ball over the line,
36:52
outpacing the park House defense. Folkston always seemed to be playing catch up.
36:57
As the scoreline went a five NILTA park House, then five all.
37:01
Park House pulled away to twelve five nineteen five twenty two five folks and pulled
37:07
back to twenty two twelve and look to have the upper hand there, but
37:12
park House scored a late try to make the final score twenty seven to twelve.
37:15
Now, I really enjoyed this game and it's really good to get out
37:17
there and the support of the Firse fifteen and I really hope to get up
37:22
there and see how they're getting on and perhaps they will finish top of the
37:24
table. Now on the next pitch, I kept an eye on the third
37:29
team and it seemed that every time I looked over, folks that were scoring.
37:32
And as the thirds came off at full time, I asked one of
37:36
the home players what the final score was and he replied, well, to
37:38
be honest, we stopped playing at halftime when we were forteen nil up.
37:43
The final score was fifteen to il against Deal and bets Hanger. Now this
37:47
Saturday, it's the Six Nations when Scotland played France at two fifteen and England
37:52
are up against Wales at four forty five. So normally there are no lower
37:57
league fixtures. If they do play, it's a local game, no traveling.
38:00
They with a morning kickoff so that all the players can watch the internationals
38:06
and what a great idea that is. Okay, we've got some news on
38:09
half term camps now, with half term approaching this weekend. On last week's
38:15
show, I went to great detail as to what's out there for the kids.
38:19
Now I won't repeat it all, but parents, if you're looking forward
38:22
for something for your child to keep them busy at half term, then please
38:25
go to the following Facebook pages Next Generation Coaching, Elite Community Coaching UK,
38:32
Limited, Folks and Sports Center Trust, the Three Hill Sports Park and Saints
38:38
Basketball Folkston. They're all offering activities to keep the kids busy at half term,
38:45
something that the parents love to let them burn off their energy. Okay's
38:50
I have a bit of music now and we've got a classic track from Tom
38:52
Robinson Band two four six eight Motorway Yeah Zoo There, Yeah Zoo from eighty
39:13
two. The main female singer there is Alison Noye and I used to love
39:19
her songs and one of my biggest regrets actually was that she was on actually
39:22
down at the Leees Cliff Hall and I don't know, I must have been
39:25
working, been on a late shift or something. Couldn't get to see her.
39:29
And I saw the review and she went down a bundle. She did.
39:31
She was a really, really great singer. I think she probably concentrates
39:37
more on home life. You know, she's not out touring anymore. I
39:39
know one of her passions is South End United Football Club. So yeah,
39:45
it'd be not to see if she just released another single, I'd really really
39:47
look forward to that. So it is some cricket news, would you believe
39:52
into February, but we've all noticed to see that the evenings are getting lighter
39:57
and we the clocks change with those of miserable old day there Today the clock's
40:00

40:05

I'm sure it was. Okay, what's next? We got some hockey
41:55
news now, Folks and Optimists fielded twelve teams once again on a day where
42:00
goals were flying in for both the ops and the opposition. Summon it all
42:05
up. They played twelve one to six, drew one, and lost five
42:09
goals for the Ops forty eight and against thirty four, so busy davi for
42:15
goalkeepers. The men's first eleven drew five all with Ashford. Will Mead completed
42:20
his hat trick near the end of the game to secure the draw. The
42:22
other goals came from Max Howitt, who scored twice. Men's Seconds beat Canterbury
42:28
sixty four. The Thirds lost two to one to New Beckahamians. The Force
42:31

sixteen listened to this one. They were six to one down at halftime but
42:45
came back to win seven to six against burnt Ash, and the seventh teen
42:49
beat Maystone two to one. The ladies' first team lost two to one to
42:52
Bromley and Beckenham, the seconds lost five to one to Canterbury, the thirds
42:58
lost four to one to Mepham, lost four to two to Bromley and Beckenham,
43:02
but the steady all fifteen beat University of Kent by ten goals to nil.
43:07
Janet Fuller got four, Becca Shaw got four, with Emmy Gainsford and
43:10
Anna Hegate getting one apiece. They all go again on Saturday. Yes,
43:15
all twelve teams. But if you think that was busy on a Sunday,
43:20
the juniors fielded fourteen teams. That was right across the southeast, from under
43:24
eighths to under eighteens. Now there's too many results to read out, but
43:29
one scene does deserve a special mention. That's the under fourteen boys, a
43:32
team who beat Wimbledon in an away fixture in the last sixteen of a National
43:37
Cup. So they're now in the quarter finals of yes and National Cup.
43:43
So let's hope they get a home fixture. That'd be great, wasn't it.
43:45
So A big thanks once again to all the secretaries who's sending their reports
43:50
to Amy, and of course for Amy who sends them on to me.
43:52
A bit of music now from Gabrielle and a song called Dreams they did under
44:07
with Bennett and the Rebel Rousers there from nineteen sixties sixty five. I think
44:13
it was that was a cover version of the Beatles song you know. And
44:16
I don't know for say this because I love the Beatles, but I think
44:20
I preferred that version Clif Bennett. It was really really good. Great voice,
44:23
isn't he? Great vocals? Okay, now time for a special report.
44:28
This is a lady's only news, a special report local ladies making the
44:31
headlines. Last week I highlighted two local ladies who successfully completed their January challenges.
44:38
Fiona Stanton walked fifteen thousand steps a day throughout the month and Imagen Ireland
44:44
completed thirty one minutes of exercise for every one of the thirty one days in
44:47
January, finishing with a ninety minute run, both raising loads of money for
44:52
their chosen charity. Well, this week I found a group of five ladies
44:57
who formed a relay team and challenged them so to run from London to Paris
45:01
over four days. Joe Bonner, Tika Barrow, Louise Legger, Sarah Walker
45:07
and Becky Young are all set to run a half marathon every day for four
45:10
days, raising money for two charities. Now. The first charity is known
45:15
as SAPHA now think it stands for Soldiers, Sailors and Air Force Association.
45:21
Basically, it's a charity to aid anyone who has completed National service and need
45:24
some help. And the second one is Parkinson's UK. The money raise for
45:30
this one because they aim to raise awareness and work with the NHS to improve
45:34
services in the UK for this terrible disease. Two great causes. Now,
45:38
the ladies start outside the famous Wimbledon tennis courts and run to New Haven,
45:44
remembering that's half a marathon each They camp overnight, Yes they camp, there's
45:49
no hotels on this trip is camping every night. They then take the ferry
45:52
to Diepp. They each do their half marathon and once again camp. The
45:58
next day, the formula is the same, but the terrain becomes much tougher.
46:01
Once again running and then camping. Then the last day sees them push
46:06
on to Paris, where they will all run the last mile together, finishing
46:09
underneath the Eiffel Tower. Now, logistically there is a lot more to it
46:15
than it sounds. Really, Tika will be taking her Volkswagen van and the
46:19
two of them or three of them will possibly share the drive in. This
46:22
is part of a well organized operation. With two hundred runners setting off,
46:27
each one will be traced in case of getting lost or injured. The ladies
46:31
can all run a half marathon, for sure, but can they keep it
46:35
up for four days in a row. I was talking to Joe Bonna during
46:37
the week and as they up the mileage, they will train to run on
46:42
consecutive days. So obviously this determined group not going to take this challenge lightly.
46:46
They aim to raise at least two thousand pound and between now and the
46:51
end of May, I hope to meet them all and find out how the
46:52
training is going. This really is a girl power time at the moment.
46:58
Okay, so we've got another report now for another young lady former guest of
47:01
the show. On one oh five point nine, Academy of FM is making
47:05
us sporty headlines. Good luck goes out to Leah Bamford from the Folkston Indoor
47:09
Bowls Club, who this weekend will be representing England, Yes, England in
47:15
the British Isles Indoor Bowls Council Women's Under twenty five International Series in Belfast.
47:22
So there we go, gil Para again. So we'll let you know how
47:24
she got on and how ring how her England team got on. She's a
47:28
lovely lady, Leah. I've met her and I've met her dad, Peter,
47:31
and is lovely to see that the sport of indoor bowls is on the
47:37
up and up. Name of local ladies in sport. Congratulations go to former
47:39
another former guest of the show, Jay Hopkins. She completed her two hundredth
47:45
park run last Saturday. She's completed her two hundred runs at thirteen different locations.
47:50
Her pebe is twenty nine minutes twenty six seconds and she's shown how unselfish
47:55
he is by volunteering thirty five times, sometimes more than one role in a
48:00
day. Who said ladies couldn't multitask? Well? This one canyp more girl
48:05
power. We haven't finished yet. Folkston Academy student Nive Sorge took part in
48:09
a full knockdown karate tournament in London at the weekend and had to move up
48:14
a category which was aged sixteen and sixty kilograms as she didn't have anyone to
48:20
fight in her own category. Neive, who is forty six kilograms, then
48:24
went on to defeat her opponent who was nearly twenty kilograms heavier. So we're
48:29
done to Neve for being a heavier older opponent. And finally another lady who
48:34
deserves a mention, Sam Miller, decided to start her own running club and
48:38
this week the Hawkins A Hurricans celebrate their eighth birthday under Sam's guidance. So
48:44
Happy Birthday goes to former guest of the show, Sam and all her running
48:47
friends in Hawkins. Now, after that little lot of girl power, come
48:52
on, fellas, where are you get out there and do something? Tell
48:54
me let me know, but it we just had to play this record and
48:58
this is one that absolutely suits this little special report. Cindy Lauper. Girls
49:02
just want to have fun, Cindy Lauper. There, girls just want to
49:13
have That was the original version. But I remember back in the day now
49:22
Race for Life, right, Race for Life came to folks, and I
49:25
don't know, we can't remember how long ago it was over twenty years ago,
49:30
and I've compared every single one up on the leaves there, so I'm
49:34
pleased to say. And looking back, there was one year around about twenty
49:37
ten, I think there was a special version of that song with a lot
49:42
of girl celebrities and they made it especially for cancer research UK. I believe
49:47
there was singers and actresses from Coronation Street EastEnders. Carolyn Quintin I think was
49:53
part of it. I really am a jog in my memory now, but
49:58
that it was a great year. That song was played all around the count
50:01
all around the country actually, but I do remember it at Folkston especially very
50:07
poignant because it's my hometown up on the stage and at the time a race
50:10
for life was ladies only. Is open to all families now, but there
50:15
must have been about two thousand ladies in pink dancing to this song. It
50:19
was a great memory. So well done to all the girls that we mentioned,
50:22
all the ladies that are doing the special challenges in our local area.
50:27
Right time for a bit of music now, Ultra nate and free. From
50:43
nineteen eighty two, the Manita Haller notes, Okay, time for our last
50:50
little bit of sport. Now this hour has flown by as usual. I
50:53
was on the mic last Sunday when nearly three hundred runners took part in the
50:57
Bedgbury Forests ten and five mile race in the driest February conditions we've seen for
51:01
a very long time. Two local runners took part. Laura Dixon run the
51:06
five miler in fifty three three whilst David Collard run the ten in one hour
51:12
forty six fifty two, both representing the happy Birthday team of Hawkins Hurricanes.
51:17
So well done to Laura and David, because it's it's quite a trip from
51:21
Hawkins to Bedgbury. Now just in from this morning actually results from last night's
51:28
folkst and netball league games. Now the name of the outstanding player is included
51:32
in the result. You'll soon get the hang of this. The teams are
51:37
ice twenty seven, leading player was Isabelle. The Scorpions scored twenty three and
51:43
the leading player was Isabella The Black Widows eleven, Jody Tornadoes, forty Emily
51:52
Jets, thirty five Abby Vipers ten viv and Woodpecker's forty eight ash Air twenty
52:02
and this one is shared between Isabelle and Hannah, and a big thanks to
52:07
Hannah. I don't know if it's the same Hannah Hannah Palmer for those results.
52:13
Right, what else we got? Well, I think that's about it
52:15
for another week. At the moment, I have nothing sporty planned, but
52:17
no doubt that will change. The forecast looks pretty dire, actually looks like
52:22
a wet weekend, so I might cheat and go down the three Hills and
52:25
watch some hockey from indoors behind the glass and stay dry. And do you
52:30
say any I think we've just got bad time to squeeze another song in And
52:35
it's Phil Collins studio. What is a studio? I've never ever found out.
52:38
So I have a great weekend and I'll catch ull next time. One
52:42
O five point nine Academy FM.
