So the Christmas turkey has been well and truly cooked by now, the New Year’s resolutions have already been made, and broken, and those spare chairs which your mum brings down from the attic when she’s got guests around have made their yearly appearance and been sent back to where they spend the other 364 days of the year.
Pandemic FC have seen coronavirus re-sign and extend their deal into 2022, and have brought some friends along to the party, I mean work meeting, with Delta and Omicron joining the club for the season ahead.
It is possible that they could change sport though, with England cricket needing someone to be able to stick around at the crease for a period of time, Covid already showing that they are more capable of that with their stint lasting from 2019 up until the present day.
Although boxing wouldn’t exactly be its sport, as it seems as though it can be controlled very easily through a few simple jabs.
There wasn’t much Snowfall over Christmas, and it was sad to hear that the 2021 Oaks winner had passed away after suffering a pelvic injury, but the horse racing world isn’t focusing on the flat though at the minute, there’s one hill in particular that is jumping out at them the most.
Over the years jockeys would do anything to be the first up the famous Cheltenham hill, this festival will be no different of course, but Nicky Henderson has a difficult choice to make, one even bigger than whether that dress was gold and white or black and blue back in 2015, (gold and black I say), is it going to be Jonbon or Constitution Hill who he sides with for the Supreme?
Some sports clearly like to thrive in the tough wintery conditions though, Fylde rugby union currently sit 4th in their league table and still have an unbeaten home record to go with it, hopefully they can continue to push for that promotion for the remainder of the campaign but time will only tell.
Across to the other code and despite the weather not getting any warmer just yet, the action has began to heat up again with pre-season games underway.
St Helens are searching for that fourth Grand Final win in a row, but while they’ll be looking to break a record, rivals Wigan, Warrington and Leeds will be looking to set it straight and stop the Woolf from howling again.
To much warmer climates now though, and no-one could find the antidote this time around at the Alexandra Palace, because the Snake well and truly did bite, as Peter Wright landed his second World Championship to go alongside his previous success in 2020.
Plenty of sporting action to sink our teeth into this year and I think it’s time we start looking at it all again so, see you in the next blog?
