  Usually at the weekend we split the sporting duties. Jeff does the outdoor sporting pursuits - the football. I do the indoor ones--tennis and swimming (in the warmth, with a cup of coffee and a magazine, so no contest). He does the 7.30am Match of the Day Sunday sitting, I do the mum's much-needed Sunday lie-in (back of the net!). However, with Sunday's after-match dinner comprising of listening to Oscar's lively match reports over a...

  Clissold Rangers U8's season is only 2 games young and already they have 21 goals for and none against. An impressive start for the boys and their current captain Oscar who again grabbed a beautiful goal and was voted man of the match by his team mates. He's a short profile of Clissold's current 'joueur du jour'. Name: Oscar Team Number: 4 Favourite Position: Right midfield or anywhere Donnie the coach puts me. Strength: Shooting...

  It was hard not to feel sorry for the opposition. Due to FA regulations we cannot mention them, but we wish them well, knowing they will undoubtedly get better as the season progresses. For Clissold Rangers' new under-8s side, it was the best possible start: a 14-0 romp, with goals spread throughout team. Supporters basking in the glorious Indian summer sun were treated not just to a goalfest from the Clissold boys but to an all-round...

  Many Islington residents have expressed sadness and frustration today at the news that Islington Council is comsidering banning cricket from being played at the borough's only ground, following a dispute between the Pacific Cricket Club; an established team and one angry local objector. It's been reported that the Town Hall had to pay out £680 to a motorist who was concerned about damage to his cars while games were taking place....

  Earlier today, the Twitter feed @thechessforum picked up a tweet claiming that the London Borough of Islington was the largest town without its own chess club. This surprised me, along with a few others who said they'd be delighted to attend such a club if it existed. So far we've managed to track down one existing chess club in the borough: but it's not quite what you'd expect from the famously intellectual game. 'Chessboxing' at the...
