What a moment for Tassie’s 17yo Alicia Dale, defeating #1 seed Kyoka Okamura 6-3, 6-0 at the Burnie International.
This is also Alicia’s very first ITF women’s event!

Any logical explanation why the Allan Border Medal is being held this Monday night when our Men’s test team are in Sri Lanka?

[Rick Fontyn @FontSportsMedia]

Epic! A match of the absolute highest quality.

Huge weekend - terrific to be back calling footy on the livestream and especially in a cracking NTFA Grand Final between South Launceston & Longford with @MichaelManey2 & Darren Crawford
Let’s hope we get to do more.

Over the many years of listening to @karentighe on @abcsport there was barely no sport she didn't give attention too during her career.
Always so well researched, knowledgeable, humble and genuine. Will be missed greatly on the radio.

@TimHarcourt @windiescricket @CricketAus Just beautiful to watch! The joy on all the faces of what they achieved (including the tears of joy from Brian Lara & Carl Hooper who were there) - let's hope that resonates with the next generation that test cricket is the pinnacle.

Shamar Joseph started his journey bowling with lemons, guavas, limes and apples.

Today he bowled with a Pink Ball at the Gabba and took West Indies to a historic win while being half fit. 🫡

Cricket Australia...please put a priority on test cricket and maybe think about a 3-test series rather than a 2-test series?
The purest form of the game delivered a finish for the ages today along with one of the best spells of fast bowling.
Give us more test cricket!

Retired hurt last night, trip to hospital and now one of the most inspiring spells of bowling seen at the GABBA by a visiting bowler in years.
Take a bow Shamar Joseph!

January is tennis & it’s been a big month so far!

This surely has to be one of the more embarrassing stuff-ups in sport at the Pan American Games.
Imagine winning the 20km Walk and discovering you’d broken the World Record by 10 minutes.
Then organisers discover the 20km course was actually 3kms short!

[The Bridge @the_bridge_in]

In a bizarre outcome, timings attained by the women's race walkers were repealed at the Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile, after the course of the race was found to be 3km short of the required 20km.

Absolutely extraordinary hitting from Jansen & Klaasen for South Africa - 138 runs off last 9 overs they faced together.

Well it’s big news in the Netherlands too - made the Dutch papers @jeremyrockliff
Thanks to my Aunty for sending through.

Hayley Matthews of the West Indies has played one of the best T20 innings you will see 132 off 64 balls (and took 3 wickets with the ball)

Check-out the crowd at Longford today for the NTFA Premier Division Elimination Final.
Community footy between two great rivals at its absolute best!
Brilliant contest between Longford & Bracknell. @AFLTasmania

[Rick Fontyn @FontSportsMedia]

Gee, really poor we can’t hear a single word of the presentations on the ground!
@FIFAWWC

[Rick Fontyn @FontSportsMedia]

What an absolutely outstanding @FIFAWWC Final of the highest quality.
