The place of sport in life

Some might argue that the belief held by some that world sports constitute little more than contests between power-hungry nations vying for global pride, supremacy, power, influence and control continued by means other than war has been somewhat undermined by events over the last 100 days in [...]

My sporting weekend

Sam Burns  won the Charles Schwab US PGA at Colonial Texas and – in another play-off – Victor Perez bested Ryan Fox the Dutch Open. I salvaged some self-respect and moolah with a each-way win on Davis Riley. Riley came on the radar a few months ago. He is a youngster who did well on [...]

Saturday Sport

The Heineken final – in which La Rochelle beat Leinster 24-21 – offered much better fare than the other final in Paris. The rugby final was enthralling, reflecting and showcasing the superb state of French rugby. Leinster under Stuart Lancaster are no mean side and led till the end. La [...]

Another defeat for Sussex Sharks.

Last night at Bristol Sussex Sharks suffered their second consecutive defeat in the start of the T20 Vitality Blast competition. Time was when the Sharks could field a side better than some international ones – with the likes of Jofra Archer (broken down with a back injury) and Chris Jordan [...]

Harlequins 28 Gloucester 24

I must speak to Pargie ( John Pargiter) and ask him the odds for Harlequins losing at halftime and winning at full time.  Not great I imagine as except for the recent 31-32 defeat by Northampton Saints , it happens  seemingly every game. The Harlequins powers -that – be took a risk by [...]

The Quins factor

It barely becomes anyone, still less me, to strike a bum note after watching the Harlequins execute yet another of their now routine “coming back from being all but dead and buried on the scoreboard only to snatch victory at the death with another of their harum-scarum all-out attacking blitz” [...]

One size does not suit all.

Watching John Daly tee off to launch the PGA dressed in psychedelic trousers with a logo of skulls and an overhanging gut, flowing blonde hair and beard, I was reminded of a cross between  a superannuated surfer and a wizard in Lord of the Rings. Yet at 54 the 1991 winner at Crooked Stick still [...]
