Happy New Year to all our listeners! We kick off with a quick reflection on the festive season and a review of excellent cheese boards!
We get into cricket with the 2 tantalising test matches, between Australia & India and South Africa & Pakistan proving that test cricket still has plenty of excitement to offer fans. And in Get a Grip we have a swipe at Indian poster boy Virat Kohli after his unnecessary barging into Australian debutant Sam Konstas.
In Rugby Union we bring you the latest from a full, high-scoring premiership schedule, and a world record crowd for a women’s club game between Harlequins &Leicester in the Big Game at Twickenham.
In Tennis the build up has started for the Australian Open, with qualifying underway and Nick Kyrgios speaking out about the doping charges facing both the men’s and women’s world number ones.
In NFL there’s just a handful of play off spots left after the penultimate round of the regular season – so we run the rile over the teams that are already into the Superbowl play offs and those chasing the final spot in each division.
Finally we give a plug to Doddie Aid that takes place each January. Listeners can sign up via www.doddieaid.com and not only get active in January, but also raise funds and support for the MND community. If you want to take on Tony and Andy, then once signed up in the App, join the Null & Void league to see who wins bragging rights this January!
Our first guest of 2025 is our Football Correspondent, Billy Carr. Billy joins us at the halfway point of the Premier League season to look at what’s happening at the top and bottom of the table, where the surprises have come from and what impact the multitude of games over the festive season has had on the table as we reach the turn.
A fantastic episode to kick off 2025!
