Today's Sporting Round-Up

by Shaky Parkinson

It appears that there was sport today with results culminating in many various wins across the UK.  Football and rugby were amongst some of the big favourites that suffered defeat with darts coming in a close third.  The tennis versus curling bout won't be decided until the fifth round with a 2-2 outcome prevailing in the sailing.

Extreme sports sore a boost against the dollar but took a beating against the FTSE 100 which triumphed against Swansea but lost its footing when Windsor came back with a last minute point.

The diving was forced into catastrophe while a runaway shuttlecock caused an upset for Jenson Button in the Doncaster Grand Prix.

The cricket was called off, as was the rain that left a clean path free for Bradford Unathletic when they stormed to victory against everyone in the cup final semis.

There was a penalty fine when Kingsley hit a rounder in the UFC, which caused ripples amongst the bowling clubs of London who lost a 15/1 bet on Wilbur's Knob in 9:17.5 at the oval.

Snooker was up with Jimmy White's ten-hour return from retirement proving unsuccessful when Ryan Giggs scored a century at Highbury Park.

Injuries were numerous with David Beckham and Wayne Rooney both being excused from play while Alex Ferguson had to bow out of a charity fistfight due to stress and a brain haemorrhage.

In the Premiership, football went down by three with Queens Park Rangers getting a thumbs up as Chelsea went ahead by fifty to secure a place in the Championship Euro.

The pools saw an upturn in numbers with a 4,4,2 win from Charlton racking up a ten second lead in the hundred metre hurdles with a new world record still under questioning.

And that's the sport.
