Rugby:
Wales 59 - Uruguay 9 earlier in the week, the English
were next.
It can’t be denied, it was time to trounce the English
and boy did they get trounced. What a match. Back and forth, back and forth
right up to the last minute. Every Welsh
supporter on the edge of their seats, I could barely stay in the room to watch.
I got so excited and like everyone else in red waiting and waiting for that
final whistle. I jumped up and cheered at the last.

English defeated
on home ground by the Welsh in the Rugby World Cup was unthinkable; unless you
are Welsh of course, (and I am, well half Welsh anyway), in which case it was
entirely possible. Fabulous match, just
fabulous. Excellent play on both sides. Up the Welsh. Let the red dragon fly
high. England and Wales have been playing against each other since 1881. This
was the one to win and they did.
South Africa:
Time to regain your reputation South Africa having been
beaten by Japan. Whilst the USA were beaten by Samoa in their last match the
Samoans have yet to beat The Springbok. Maybe this weekend they will. No tears
from me if South Africa loose. All cheer
for Samoa. They do the Siva Tua before each match. It is a war dance. Here it

F1: Japan
I wish better luck to Lewis Hamilton for his race in
Japan this weekend having gone out of the Singapore Gran Prix last weekend.
Still ahead in the driver’s championship he needs to get a move on to become
unassailable. Lewis is always good in the rain but it may be dry for the race
itself. Who knows what Sunday will bring. 2nd on the grid, it’s time
to overtake now Lewis, rock and roll.
Formula 1 we must remember is not a safe sport. The
drivers risk their lives bring us the excitement that is Formula one racing. In
deference to Jules Bainch who died in July 2015 from head injuries sustained in
the Japanese Gran Prix of 2014, the FlA have retired his permanent race number,
the number 17.
Golf: PGA Championship
The PGA (Professional Golfers Association) in Atlanta is
going well for Paul Casey, 5 under par and currently number 3 on the leader
board after round 3. Rory Mcllroy, 4 under par and number 6 with Justine Rose
is number 8. That’s 3 Brits in the top
ten. Let us hope the 4th round goes really well for all three.
Cricket:
Nominees for the PCA (Professional Cricketers
Association) Player of the Year Award have been announced. They are Jonny
Bairstow, Matt Coles, Ashwell prince and Chris Rushworth. Presentations take
place at Tobacco Dock in London on Tuesday 29th September.
Athletics :
Over in Turkey on the 19th our young athletes,
both men and women came third in the European Champions Clubs Cup for Juniors.
Two clubs represented Great Britain, Blackheath and Bromley Harriers (women)
and Shaftsbury Barnet Harriers (men). They came in behind Turkey and Spain.
That’s it for this week folks except for one item:
