'National teams all over the world are standing up and uniting to make progress for themselves'

"I don't think it's going to stop the forward momentum" - Author and documentary maker Susie Petruccelli joins us to discuss the development of women's soccer in America after the US National Women's Team lost their equal pay lawsuit. The team are appealing the decision and Sarah Mulkerrins joins us to explain the background to the case. Former USWNT players Brandi Chastain and Sarah Hagen give us their thoughts on the fight for equal pay and we also speak to Lindsay Eanet. She recently became the first female public address announcer for a professional sports team in Chicago. She's employed by the NWSL side the Chicago Red Stars. "In France if you are a good jockey but a woman you are just a woman jockey. I don't want to be that, I want to be just a jockey like Frankie Dettori." Mickaelle Michel tells us how she's using television shows to teach herself Japanese, with the long-term aim of basing herself there. Over the winter Michel rode a record number of winners for a foreign jockey in Japan. She's back in her native France now and describes the "really strange" atmosphere she encountered racing behind closed doors as she won in Chantilly this week. #AbideWithMeNHS - This Saturday the 139th FA Cup Final should have taken place at Wembley. The game was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but that hasn't stopped some members of the 2015 FA Cup Fans Choir from coming together to record their own version of the famous pre-match anthem, Abide with Me, with the aim of raising money for charity. Stuart Green is a member of the choir and he tells us about the idea and why he will be singing on his doorstep at the time the game should have kicked-off. Staying with the FA Cup and this week's Sporting Witness recalls the "Matthews Final" of 1953, where the legendary Stanley Matthews led Blackpool to a 4-3 win over Bolton. And - we hear from American baseball player Jake Brigham, who is currently playing in the Korean Baseball Organisation for Kiwoom Heroes. It's one of the first leagues to return during the Covid-19 pandemic. Players are not allowed to shake hands, hug or spit on the ground.
