Jolly hockeysticks coming up soon - and two of the girls - sorry, gels - were educated at Repton. Mind you, another one's from Belper, so that evens it up a bit.

Probably proved it causes more damage. Padding to the head means you can hit it more. Plus it's a bigger target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on Nick Skelton being the oldest British gold medallist - Jerry Millner was 61 when he won the 1000 yard rifle event in 1908. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding Skelton, he's from a real horse family, young Harry Skelton not a bad rider over the jumps and Dan Skelton not a bad trainer in the making, straight out of Paul Nicholl's yard. Bit of a dynasty in the making. Father really deserves his moment as you say, true olympian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozza Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 i like the hockey solution to penalty shoot outs , needs to be implemented into football that , start with ball on centre spot taker has 15 seconds to score . Far fairer than just taking spot kicks .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterRam Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Wow wasn't expecting the hockey team to come through, I left the action early second quarter and we were truly under the cosh, we really are doing well this Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. And Mighty Mo and possibly a few relay medals to come. The London total is under threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
