If you're sick of football...

WHAT A thing to say! As if anyone could be sick of football, what with the World Cup on 24 hours a day, the fixtures for next season already doing the rounds...

I guess you see my point. For those who don't worship that certain round ball game, you do have salvation this summer. Hoping the weather will hold for some decent cricket this summer, be it the village game (all those simmering rivalries and the like), the county cricket scene or the Test Match Special variety, that the leather on willow game will be entertaining this season, even if the highest level do have alot to live up to (Small matter of the Ashes to play for once again later this year).

Also the time has come for Wimbledon, which begins at the All England Lawn And Tennis Club (SW19, isn't it?) this coming Monday, 26th June. Can Henman, Rusedski or Murray bring home (so to speak) the big prize in the men's game? Messrs Federer, Nadal, Roddick et al will no doubt have their own plans for the tournament. As for the Ladies' tournament, Venus Williams will be looking to retain her Rose Plate (I think that is the description for the top prize in the Ladies' game), whilst Maria Sharapova (pictured above) will be looking to repeat her triumph of 2004. Best of luck to all involved, whatever your game.
