#BarnetFC v #OxfordUnited friendly at the Hive, with the visitors managed by ex-Wales and #Arsenal favourite Aaron Ramsey
If you like a barrel load of laughs then get down to the Apollo theatre 🎭 for ‘The Truth’, a mix of Noel Coward, Alan Ayckbourn and Moliere. Written by Florian Zeller and with a knockout cast led by Stephen Mangan. Glorious fun 🤩
👀 It's high time you checked out what we're doing @newwomenssportmag.bsky.social - with our front page currently featuring in-depth stories on #swimming 🏊♀️ #cricket 🏏 #tennis 🎾 #football ⚽ and the imminent Commonwealth Games aka #Glasgow2026. 👇 thenewwomenssportmagazine.com
👀 Pillar of the community! Spotted on a pillar box opposite @orangetreetheatre.bsky.social is a tribute to local resident David Attenborough 🌍 and some of the creatures he’s championed 🐧 🐙
👏🏽 Great camaraderie between Team GB 🇬🇧 winning athletes Josh Kerr and Keely Hodgkinson trackside at the Olympic Stadium - with a nod to inspiring the athletes of the future. 🏃♀️ 🏃🏽♂️ 🏃
🤩 Wow. Tremendous run by Josh Kerr 🇬🇧 who breaks the world record in the mile! 💥
This afternoon @bafta.org I will mostly be drinking Thistly Cross #cider from #Scotland 🏴 with lots of ice 🧊
⚽ Finally! The huge #WSL transfer suddenly happens. #Alexia Putellas signs for #LondonCityLionesses and Michele Kang can hardly contain her delight. Kang compares this to getting a great chef in a Michelin-starred restaurant - but you also need the right ingredients and set-up!
🎾 #NaomiOsaka 🇯🇵 makes her quarter final entrance at #Wimbledon. Can her brilliant Czech 🇨🇿 opponent make much of a dent in Naomi’s title ambitions?
🎾 Oh. My. Word. He’s only gone and done it. Arthur #Fery has beaten Dimitrov in the final set tiebreak at #Wimbledon to go into the quarterfinals! 🇬🇧 #bonkers
🍿 Blockbuster incoming! #Wimbledon quarter-final between #Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk and #Italy's Jasmine Paolini this Wednesday will be fireworks. Or as the saying goes: Absolute Cinema 🎬
🎾 Was courtside at #Wimbledon for Jasmine #Paolini’s 🇮🇹 win on Saturday and also managed to talk to her in the press conference after. Such an entertaining player to watch up close. Harder challenge v Alex Eala 🇵🇭 tho.
Just love ❤️ watching Marta Kostyuk 🇺🇦 play at #Wimbledon 🎾 with such poise, passion and passing shots 👌🏽
🏏 Amazing. Another record crowd. Just terrific atmosphere too at the Oval. England 🏴 v South Africa 🇿🇦 - with the hosts looking certs for Sunday’s final at Lord’s after a very shaky start.
🏏 Terrific T20 WWC semifinal between #England and #SouthAfrica at the Oval. Great crowd and atmosphere too!
😉 Cheeky #Wimbledon programming on Court 3 on Tuesday has on-form Katie Boulter immediately followed by fiancé Alex de Minaur.
🎾 Ooh. Serena’s first singles match back at #Wimbledon is on centre court on Tuesday afternoon. Read more about her comeback @newwomenssportmag.bsky.social
Amazing 🤩 to be part of #history at the Oval - biggest ever attendance for T20 WWC group game. 🏏 #England v #NewZealand
Yes. The Oval is a very beautiful #cricket 🏏 ground. Especially when it’s midway between weathers and day/ night. What a sky for T20 WWC match between #England and #NewZealand
At the Oval for T20 WWC 🏏 match between #England and #NewZealand and the wickets are finally starting to fall!
Great bit of inside info from the #Trailfinders presser with Barney Maddison and Abi Burton now: #ChloeKelly is not only a Trailfinders fan now, but the #Lionesses and #Arsenal star's uncle actually works on the gates at Trailfinders!
👀 Well now. Not content with playing doubles with older sister Venus at #Wimbledon, #SerenaWilliams is also in the singles now! #wildcard 🎾
🎭 Three of the plays I’ve seen this week have appeared to be about one thing but are actually about something else entirely. #Driftwood at the Kiln. #Sting at Young Vic. #Ron at Riverside Studios. Lots of layers. Recommend all three. Theatre is indeed in rude health. 👏🏽
🇹🇹 Go see Martina Laird’s staggeringly good debut play ‘Driftwood’ at the Kiln Theatre 🎭 and thank me later!
🧤 Glove Story! Ex- #England keeper #MaryEarps (33) signs for #LondonCityLionesses from #PSG ✍️
🎾 The irrepressible #EmmaRaducanu talkin bout a revolution for her season on grass 🍃 notably at #Queens where she’s not dropped a set, including a quarter and semi final today. Into the final! 💥 And hopefully at #Wimbledon 🤞🏽
