Day 1 of this round saw a positively hot day at Chelmsford which is where I was, for the match between Essex and Yorkshire. I had been hoping to see Joe Root, but neither he or Harry Brook were present. A look around the country on Day 1 saw a mixed bag runs wise. There … More County Championship Round 6 – 2025
May Day saw glorious weather across the country, I’m starting this write up on the morning of Day 2. We had just 3 Divison 1 matches and the full 4 in Division 2. Things weren’t over quite as quickly in this round, with two matches finishing on Day 3. After a lazy morning on Day … More County Championship Round 5 – 2025
I’m staring out on the morning of Day 2, having had a rugby match to watch and write up last night.

But, here we are and … More County Championship Round 4 – 2025

Division … More County Championship Round 2 – 2025

That meant each team had to make a choice about whether they included their international players, well, England players anyway. Player welfare doesn’t seem to matter … More Saracens v Harlequins – The Showdown
We are in the 27th year of the Premiership, a competition that started as the Allied Dunbar Premiership and had many labels over the years. I thought I’d take a look at the winners over those 27 years. The 3rd column is for Saracens fans to look over the history of those years. Sports runs … More Exeter Chiefs v Saracens
I had to bite the bullet and subscribe to Premier Sports for this one as the weather put paid to my plans to drive to friends.

Premier Sports has been a controversial new platform … More Munster Rugby v Saracens
Nanny duty on Saturday morning meant I came to this match late, SofaScore had kept me up to date with the score until just after half time, so I knew I was in for some pain!
