So my 20th season of reporting pro rugby league starts. Midlands Hurricanes v Siddal in the Challenge Cup. Nice to meet the new Midlands managing director Eorl Crabtree who's played a bit in his time.

The calm before the storm. Photo taken from McDonald's car park, with Maccas packed with police fueling up before going into battle. Cardiff v Swansea kicks off at 12.30pm. I'll be reporting on the latter stages live on @gtfmradio.bsky.social from 2pm.

30 years ago today, I was at Day 1 of the Australian Open. Programme signed by Jim Courier, who was champ a couple of years before, and future French Open winner Michael Chang. Second day programme signed by Jeremy Bates and I remember leading the crowd into the chant "Bates eats Swedes" as he won.

Nice to have done a quick 121 interview with Lauren Price at Nos Galan tonight. I was given two minutes, I did 90 seconds. It'll be on GTFM soon. Cheeky pic was also in order.

Happy (US) Black Friday. It's amazing what an offer does in some countries, this being France. My book is number one in TV guides on Amazon there right now.

A good couple of hours. My car was on less than 40 percent so I gave it five hours charge on the cheap rate overnight then topped it up this morning. Probably about 30 miles free driving to come. Had the clothes washing and drying and the dishwasher on. Breakfast cooked at 8.50am.

Hi Blue Sky peeps. What I sometimes do on a Saturday. Presenting "The Season Ticket" on @gtfmradio.bsky.social alongside Tomos Oakley. Grey rainy skies out there today with three Super Rygbi Cymru games, even one with a 4G pitch and lots of local football already off. Llandovery was for high winds.

I've interviewed quite a few people over the years. For WRL, radio, newspapers and magazines. Even the odd video. However this is my most memorable. I will always be indebted to the FAW in 2012 for getting me a 121 with Ronnie Corbett when he helped launch their league, sponsored by Corbett Sports

As often in Wheelchair Rugby League, it's a score that doesn't do justice to the effort the losing side put in.
An excellent effort from the Irish, especially when they scored three on the bounce in the second half. Great that half of their squad were from their new domestic clubs too.

Hi Andy. It wasn't a full international but Wales @cymrurugbyleague.bsky.social faced France B in Nantes in 1954 when the full France side were winning in Australia. It was Billy Boston's only match in a Welsh shirt.
