Cardiff’s first match under new management saw them take the spoils and entry into the 4th round at St James’ Park.

The match that had us talking most was the game at Roots Hall. Floodlight failure and late threats of abandoning the game due to the weather didn’t stop Southend beating opposition from 2 leagues above in the match which ended after the Arsenal SPurs match started.

Leyton Orient didn’t manage to grab any headlines at Yeovil.

This week we mainly concentrated on the Football League action as the majority of league teams started their season as soon as this week’s Between the Lines started, at 3pm.

We kept on top of all the scores in the first half, although we experienced the same issue that all other media organisations had when trying to bring the the second half updates. The results involving the local sides:-

Carlisle 1-5 Leyton Orient
Gillingham 0-1 Colchester
Fleetwood 3-1 Dag & Red
Southend United 1-0 Plymouth

As is the case this time of year, our featured cricket team, Brentwood CC, had a busy week. They won the Essex 20/20 cup last Sunday and face Norfolk side Horsford in the regional final next week. Things didn’t go as well for the side in the Essex League this weekend, as they lost to last year’s champions, Wanstead, by 1 wicket in a long match.
Brentwood 163 all out.
Wanstead were 164 for 9.

See you next weekend from 4 as the Non-League teams start their campaigns. When the Premier League season starts the show moves to 3pm so you won’t miss an update in the new 3 hour Phoenix FM sport show.

On this week’s sport show we reached a major turning point in the Ashes 1st Test from Trent Bridge. During the show England had turned a finely poised match into one where they ended the day as more likely favourites, partly due to some fine bowling from Graeme Swann. Australia finishing the day at 174 for 6 and needing a further 137 runs to reach their victory target at the end of day 4.

Local cricket was featured as always. A day after this year’s Lashings match, Brentwood CC taking on Shenfield and losing the match by 2 wickets. Shenfield’s reply to Brentwood’s 317 for 9 over 64 over’s proving to be too much as they reached 320 for 8 as the evening action drew to a close.

Gerry Smith brought us action from the local friendly football match between Billericay and Romford. The team from outside the M25 winning 2-1 on home turf.

The other sporting news included the world of tennis following Andy Murray’s win at Wimbledon. We featured updates from athletics, the women’s football Euro championships and motor sport as well as previewing the local events for the next few weekends and playing some good summer music in between.

This weekend on Between The Lines, I spoke to Paul Webb less than a week before the Lashings match at Brentwood Cricket Club. This coming Friday you’ll have the chance to see some of the world’s top cricket players in Brentwood as they play the Buccaneers at the Old County Ground.

The women’s singles final at Wimbledon, Lewis Hamilton’s pole position at the German Grand Prix and the British and Irish Lion’s win against Australia were all sporting events featured during the two hours, even though I had very little voice.

Hoping to be back in full fettle next weekend so join me from 4pm for Between the Lines.

This weekend on Between The Lines, we spoke to Rory Barlow ahead of the Southend Half Marathon. Rory is raising money for Havens Hospices and his Just Giving Page has more details.

We also featured all the summer sport with cricket updates from Shenfield v Brentwood. Shenfield won this with 161 for 7 in response to Brentwood’s 160 all out.

We had news leading up to the Canadian Grand Prix and ahead of the Le Mans 24 Hours, which I will be at in 2 week’s time, bringing all of the action from France.

Tune in next week from 4pm for the Phoenix FM Birthday sport show.

We were visited on Saturday by Steve Watson and Aaron Millar from Essex Spartans American Football team. We spoke about the amount of American sport available to do in Essex, with the Leopards basketball team and Essex Redbacks Baseball both having come to the studio recently.

Essex Spartans American Football

The question – What number does Aaron Millar wear on his team kit?
All answers by email to sport@phoenixfm.com and please include your name and a contact telephone number.

We will announce the winner of the competition in this Saturday’s Between the Lines show on Phoenix.

Again, there was very little in terms of local fixtures for the weekend as waterlogged pitches took their toll on the football action. The 4th round of the FA Cup kept us busy with updates on upsets taking us through the first hour of the show. Both Brentwood and Billericay had their league matches called off. Mike Jones brought us reports from Victoria Road as Dagenham & Redbridge lost at home to Morecambe.

Local results included:-

Nuneaton Town 2-4 Braintree Town
AFC Hornchurch 1-1 Tonbridge Angels
Truro City 1-2 Chelmsford City
Bury Town 0-4 Concord Rangers
Canvey Island 3-0 Harrow Borough
Aveley 3-1 Ware
Maldon & Tiptree 2-2 Redbridge

Harry Redknapp and Delia Smith would both have been expecting more. QPR becoming the first ever Premier League side to lose to non-league opposition in the FA cup as Luton must have taken inspiration from Bradford City’s Capital One Cup heroics during the week. The Norwich loss at home to MK Dons just reinforced the Norfolk side’s terrible lack of recent form.

We looked at the Australian Open tennis, with Andy Murray’s final up tomorrow. Brought the latest news of rule changes in Rugby League and union.

Join us every Saturday from 4-6 for up to date sport action.

With very little local action as a result of the weather, we were able to concentrate mainly on the Premier League, Championship and League One action.

Rugby Union and League action kept us busy.

Further stories on reactions to Lance Armstrong’s interview with Oprah Winfrey came through during the show. Sunday Times journalist David Walsh looking at his options for suing the disgraced and de-throned former Tour De France winner.

Andy Murray in the Australian Open, the latest disability sport news and England’s loss against India in the third test gave us a chance to recap on earlier news.

Colin Besley brought us the classified football results after 5 and we kept an eye on the weather forecast and travel news with an eye to the sky.

Join us next weekend when we hope to have more local action.

After a very busy show last week, all of the local matches have already been called off:-

This Saturday we concentrated mostly on sport with a mixture of good music and local politics.

We started off with Neil Diamond’s version of Daydream Believer and took it from there. Following on from the defection of Nigel Clarke from the Liberal Democrats to the Conservative Party, we featured the official statement from Cllr Clarke’s previous party.

In football, both Billericay and Southend held on to their positions at the top of their leagues despite mixed fortunes.

Join us this weekend when we’ll be joined on the phone by Joe Hallett from Always A Chance.

As none of the top two sides in the Ryman Premier League were playing on Saturday, Billericay made the most of it and went back to the top of the league after beating Wingate 2-0.
As for Brentwood they lost 1-0 against a resiliant Enfield in front of a crowd close to 500 at the QEII Stadium. Brentwood even missed the chance to score from the spot as Dave Kendall was sent-off for Enfield and Brentwood missed the subsequent penalty.
