Mike Silva took a look at Sri Lanka’s performance against England in the Cricket World Cup and how youngster Lahiru Thirimanne played his socks off to rival the skilled batting of his senior Kumar Sangakkara. Striding out to the crease facing a tall 300+ total to chase against an Anderson led English bowling attack, Sri Lanka’s batsmen had a real fight on their hands. It wasn’t long before the unflappable cover drive was unleashed, crunching the ball for a boundary, which was ever so needed to settle the ever so fickle Sri Lankan nerves. It was as text book as a cover…

For Loughborough Women’s first eleven February 25th was to be an important stepping-stone towards reaching the BUCS knock out cup final. This was the day of the quarterfinal match against Bristol.

Last year Loughborough had won 5-2, but this did not change…

At first chain mail was exciting. You were intrigued and believed that you would meet the love of your life in the future if you forwarded the message to ten friends. Even when you were getting slightly older and had developed enough sense to recognise the ridiculous nature of chain mail, you still considered sending the message in order to prevent any doubt about receiving a horrible punishment. So…

Today Label Sport take a look back to the Men’s Gymnastics Trials that took place in November, these trials were to assess who would become the National Teams for this year of competitions. Daniel Connoly was there to tell us all about it. When we think of gymnastics, we think of the Olympic games. We think of Louis Smith.

Also known as a week of crazy campaigning by some very zealous and extremely excitable individuals who are adamant to get onto Hall Committee. **Warning: eyebrows might be lost over the course of this period** The Hall Committee swap over is bound to cause more of a stir than the parliamentary cabinet reshuffle. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then shame on you. Now we all know those people who made Freshers the best seventeen days of most of our lives to date,…
