Broken Trophy podcast The Broken Trophy Podcast

This week, to close of the series, we're joined by coaching couple Georgie and Ben Gulliver. They talk us through their journey in rugby leading to coaching Ivybridge Ladies RFC and the challenges and the enjoyment of coaching together. They also talk about the similarities between women's rugby and the championship and what the championship needs to be more successful ! Finally, Tom has to talk about Poppy Cleall and Stefan has to talk about open water swimming!

This week we’re joined by Jersey Cricket captain Chuggy Perchard and teammate Jonty Jenner to talk about their winning campaign at the recent ICC 2022 t20 World Cup Europe qualifiers. Jersey topped the group having beaten Italy, Germany and Denmark, and will progress to global qualifiers in Zimbabwe next year, where they could face Ireland, Netherlands, Oman and Zimbabwe. Chuggy and Jonty tell us how they’ve helped their team reach 22 in the global cricket rankings, compare cricket in jersey to other successful sporting teams on the island, and tell Tom and Stef that Stinky Bay is now the beer of choice on the island, usurping the once-loved Breda.

In this week’s episode we catch up with Liam Cook, coach of the Cricket Brasil Women’s team, following their ICC Women's T20 World Cup Americas Region campaign.

Liam tells us about the team’s performance in that tournament, what he was pleased about and what the team need to work on, how they continue to develop their players in the future and find out which Brazil Cricket player Liam is tipping to become the first Brazilian cricketer to play outside Brazil.

Plus the usual silliness including Liam’s two week holiday in Spain to get around COVID protocols, who is playing Liam in the Disney remake of the Brazil Cricket story, who is Danny DeVito cast as, and how many times can the guys say ‘amazing’ and ‘brilliant’ between them? Stef keeps count…

Oh, and Afghan Hound racing at Crayford Dogs…trust us, just listen…

This week the boys welcome back cricketer, TMS commentator and paediatric physio tech, Emily Windsor.

What a year Emily has had; hitting the winning runs to secure the Southern Vipers' second Rachel Heyhoe Flint Trophy in a row, appearing for the Trent Rockets in the inaugural Hundred tournament, and commentating on England women's matches for BBC's Test Match Special.

Emily tells us all about her incredible year, how she almost failed her physiotherapy exam, what her car singalong song of choice is, and reveals a shocking revelation about her GCSE Art...

After a six month break (well, there's not been much sport on, has there) Tom and Stef are back to reveal the healing process they've embarked on to get back in the studio together, what their top three sporting moments have been since we last spoke, and look ahead to some brilliant new episodes in the weeks ahead! 

The boys are joined by Rocky Clark, Georgina Gulliver and Kim Oliver to run through the Finals Day weekend in the 6 Nations. We go all 'match of the day' with each of our guests covering a specific game:

England 10 v 6 France - Rocky 

Ireland 25 v 5 Italy - Georgie

Scotland 25 v 5 Wales - Kim

As well as discussing all the key moments from all three games, we chat England's scrum issues v France, how good is Poppy Cleall, how media coverage of the 6Nations has been good but could be better, and what Rugby boards of the 6 Nations countries need to do to help their teams improve. If you're interested in women's rugby, this is a must-listen.
