The Umpire Strikes Back
from Null and Void Hosted by Null and Void
In Episode 104 we bring you updates from 13 different sports and a fantastic guest from the world of rowing. Patrick Lockley has experienced many different roles in rowing-a rower, a coach and a race umpire. He shares with us his insights into each of these roles, as well as explaining what the role of the umpire is in racing, and some of his highlights and favourite venues from his time umpiring and coaching. In other sports we look back at the last day drama in the Premier League and Women’s Super League-with relegation and titles being decided in the final games. In Rugby Union it was the Premiership final, with Saracens returning to the top of the pile, and we also discuss England World Cup winner Vicky Fleetwood announcing her retirement. We have another world record – in Ultramarathon- as Candice Burt smashed the previous women’s record of 22 ultramarathons in 22 consecutive days by running 200 ultras in 200 days! Cycling’s Giro D’Italia finished in drama, with Primoz Roglic snatching the title from Geraint Thomas in the final time trial, and Mark Cavendish capping the week where he announced his retirement by winning the final sprint in Rome. And in another Null & Void first, we cover the latest round of the International Hockey Pro-Leagues, with Great Britain, India, Belgium and China all in action in the Men’s & Women’s leagues at the Lee Valley Stadium in London. Another great episode- as Tony sings, it’s “Simply the best”!
