  • Week 80 – Septemeber 22nd – Kent v Middlesex at Canterbury – Part 2

    Today I went to Canterbury for the final county championship match against Middlesex, who ever won this game would win the division three title.

    It was good to meet up with Nick Coffin, as usual late to the match, but that is old news. 🙂

  • Week 80 – September 20th – Claire sponsor walk

    Today was the final day of Claire sponsor walk challenge for the London Air Ambulance.

    Unfortunately we didn’t make the walk goal distance due her operation during the challenge.

    Just like to say thank you again to the people that have sponsored Claire.

  • Week 79 – September 18th – Kent win the Vitality Blast 2021

    After beating Sussex earlier in the day, they went on to face Somerset in the final.

    Kent Spitfires 167-7 in 20 overs (Zak Crawley 41, Jordan Cox 58*, Roland van der Merwe 4-0-19-3) beat Somerset 142-9 in 20 overs (Will Smeed 43, Joe Denly 4-0-31-3, Qais Ahmad 4-0-19-2) by 25 runs.

    Kent Spitfires ended their 14-year wait for a piece of silverware as they beat Somerset by 25 runs to win the Vitality Blast 2021.

    Homegrown 20-year-old Jordan Cox smashed 58 in 28 balls to fire the Spitfires over par with 167 for seven.

    Cox’s outstanding fielding and spin twins Joe Denly and Qais Ahmed’s shared five for 50 stopped Somerset short and handed Kent their first Blast trophy since 2007.

    Though I’m a not a big fan of this version, always good to see Kent win trophies.

  • Week 79 – September 17th – Newcastle United v Leeds United

    FRI 17 SEPT 2021 PREMIER LEAGUE

    Newcastle United 1 Leeds United 1 HT 1-1

    Saint-Maximin (44’minutes) Raphinha (13’minutes)

    Assists –

    Joelinton (44’minutes) Bamford (13’minutes)

    Allan Saint-Maximin’s fine equaliser lifted the pressure on Newcastle boss Steve Bruce as his side earned a point against Leeds.

    After a week when Bruce had to defend his position following further criticism from fans, the mood turned ugly inside a packed St James’ Park when Raphinha cut in from the right and sent his cross into the far corner of Karl Darlow’s goal after 13 minutes.

    As Leeds threatened to run riot against a disjointed Newcastle, “we want Brucey out” was sung by all sides of the stadium.

    Marcelo Bielsa’s free-spirited side should have been further ahead before the break, but after Matt Ritchie hit a post, Saint-Maximin lifted the mood when he danced around the Leeds defence before finding the bottom corner.

    It was a massive goal for both Newcastle and Bruce, who punched the air in delight, and restored some equilibrium after a torrid first half.

    There was less stress for Bruce after the break as Newcastle switched to four at the back and Saint-Maximin twice tested Illan Meslier in the Leeds goal.

    The result left both sides still searching for their first win of the season, and at the wrong end of the table.
