Sporty news round up

This was how I felt last night when the result came through that my Vikings had lost their YB40 match against Somerset, but to be fair after the blinding 3.5 days they have just put over I think that they must have been jolly worn out. His Royal Ryanness was back in the team and took two wickets to prove that he is back on form however he got run out when batting.
The Vikings lost by 131 runs! Gillespie the Gallant took to Twitter to say that it hadn't been a great day. I however am not unduly worried, as long as the boys keep up the excellent performances in the county matches, I , Lady Lainey will be a jolly happy lapin.
I am now on countdown to July 12th which is the evening of the Yorkshire T20 match against former besty home county of Durham at the Riverside. This is usually the evening where there is enough rain to float an ark and very little play takes place. Lady Lainey takes shelter but still ends up looking like a drowned rat!.


Tim Bresnan has been talking to 'The Mail' about himself in their series 'Top Secret'/ Well now we all know that Ian Botham is his hero, if he hadn't been a cricketer he would have been a scuba diving instructor. What I Lady Lainey hadn't realised is that we have something in common, that being ( apart from cricket) that we both love 'Game of Thones'.

The Lions match against New Zealand saw the Rot & Bairstow show perform again, however rain dogged their day too. They were on 143 & 45 no out when rain halted play  Meaning that they had to go back into the pavilion and watch the FA Cup final.....................


Which took place at Wembley yesterday afternoon ( I however was having my nap at the time). Which resulted in a shock win by Wigan against Manchester City. By the look on the Wigan Players faces it really was a shock too. Well done to all the players in what really signals the end of the footy season.............for about 5 minutes and then they will all come back, swearing on camera, and spitting on the field YUKKY!!!

Over in the Giro d'Italia poor old Sir Bradley suffered a puncture which resulted in him finishing second in the time trials . He did however lose out to fellow Brit Alex Dowsett who is a time trial champion.

So now it is time to hit the shower, and get ready as Mr Funky the chauffeur is picking me up so that we can go for a walk around Darlington.

Hope that Dame Didi is feeling better today.
