    Treble Triumph, Family Feud and Saving Henley’s Rowing Legacy

    This week, we’re serving up a packed show full of drama,surprises, and sporting milestones from around the globe. We start with the Rugby League Grand Final-and Hull KR have done it! In front of nearly 69,000 fans at Old Trafford, they stunned Wigan Warriors with a dominant 24–6 victory, completing a historic treble. Mikey Lewis was electric, scoring the opening try and earning the Rob Burrow Award for player of the match.  In the Women’s Cricket World Cup South Africa stunned India in a thrilling upset, while England’s Sophie Ecclestone spun them to victory over Sri Lanka with a masterclass in bowling. We say a big farewell to a Lioness, as Millie Bright, a stalwart of England’s defence, announces her retirement from international football. In one of the most extraordinary stories tennis has seen, Valentin Vacherot, ranked 204th in the world, came through qualifying and defeated Novak Djokovic in the semis before beating his own cousin Arthur Rinderknech in the final of the Shanghai Masters. Vacherot’s win makes him the lowest-ranked player ever to win a Masters 1000 title. Our guest section this week sees the return of Barry Wood,our very first guest from Episode 1, who joins us to ask listeners for their help in his passionate campaign to save the artefacts and the iconic Redgrave & Pinsent statue in Henley, following the closure of the River & Rowing Museum.

    Bugs stop play, another double hole in one and Robins close on treble.

    At the Women’s Cricket World Cup, play was bizarrely haltedduring the India vs Pakistan match—not for rain, but for a bug invasion! A swarm of insects forced players off the pitch and brought out the fumigation squad in one of the strangest stoppages we’ve seen. In golf, Gavin Bourne hit two holes in one in the first round of a competition in Droitwich. The odds of this happening are over 67 million to one, and we’ve brought you two in one year!! It was a golden week for Team GB at the World Para AthleticsChampionships in New Delhi. Hannah Cockroft led the charge with a triple gold, while Aled Davies and Dan Pembroke defended their titles in style. And in rugby league, Hull Kingston Rovers are still on trackfor the treble after a gritty semi-final win over St Helens in the Super League Play-Offs. We preview their final – a rematch of last year’s game against Wigan. We also have football, rugby union, tennis and a new recordat the Cardiff Half Marathon.

    World Cup Heartbreaks, Cycling Heroics and Golf’s Unusual Hoods

    First up this week, we cover the Women’s Rugby WorldCup Quarter Finals, where the top four teams—England, France, New Zealand, and Canada—powered through to the semis.

Then, to cycling in Spain, where the final stage of La Vuelta a España was abandoned in extraordinary scenes. Pro-Palestinian protesters brought the peloton to a halt in Madrid, forcing organisers to cancel the stage and podium ceremony. Jonas Vingegaard was crowned champion,but not in the way anyone expected. We also pay tribute to a true warrior of the ring. Theboxing world is mourning the tragic passing of Ricky Hatton, aged just 46. We reflect on his legacy and memories of him as a youngster. And finally, a moment of pure golfing chaos at the BMWPGA Championship—Adrien Saddier’s ball took a detour into a spectator’s hood, saving him from a watery hazard.
