It has been becoming more and more obvious to me that we are currently standing at a crossroads. We are living in very turbulent times and how we react right now is probably more important than we might think. When I read my Bible, and particularly some of the New Testament bits, I am so […]
As I write this blog I have literally just arrived home from a trip to South Wales. Over the past weekend I have met up with guys who have a heart to reach their mates for Jesus and I spoke at a men’s breakfast where 60+ guys came along to simply hang out with each […]
I have two passions in life (that is apart from my family)—following Jesus and Welsh Rugby. One of these passions brings me unbridled joy and a purpose to life, the other brings me ecstatic joy in the moment and a fair bit of disappointment along the way. I do believe that being a Welsh Rugby […]
The whistle went, the crowd booed, and the ref sprinted for the tunnel. It’s safe to say that Scotland vs. Australia did not end up the way that anyone with blue face paint on that day wanted. The fateful quarterfinal will probably be a memory I carry with me for a long time. We were […]
Have you ever introduced a friend to a favourite sport of yours? I tried this with my wife (then fiancée) during the Six Nations last year. “It’ll only take one game and she’ll be hooked,” I mused. But which game would I choose? It couldn’t be Scotland v. England (I have split loyalties). Now, I […]
Sunday saw two huge matches in the Premier League. Manchester United kept up their seven-point lead ahead of local rivals Manchester City with a 2-1 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford. Robin van Persie turned in Ashley Young’s low cross in the first half and his free-kick was turned in by Nemanja Vidic to make […]
All but one of the 32 ties in the third round of the FA Cup were played at the weekend and most of the big boys made it into the draw for the fourth round. Manchester City and Chelsea both had comfortable win, beating Watford and Southampton 3-0 and 5-1 respectively. Luis Suarez returned to […]
Chelsea were the only team to gain maximum points from their three games played over the festive period so far. They followed up their 8-0 thrashing of Aston Villa with wins over Norwich and Everton. Manchester United fought back from drawing with Swansea to stretch their lead over Manchester City to seven points, coming from […]
Robin van Persie’s last-minute free kick won an exciting Manchester derby for United 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium. United had taken a 2-0 lead into the second half thanks to a brace from Wayne Rooney but the momentum shifted in City’s favour after they capitalised on an incorrect decision to rule out Ashley young’s goal […]
England stunned the New Zealand at Twickenham, ending the year in fine style with a 38-21 win. The All Blacks were heavy favourites but a superb first-half defensive display coupled with the faultless goal-kicking of Owen Farrell meant England led 12-0 at half-time. Their illustrious opponents put up some resistance in the second half, scoring […]
