#SJA2022: Mum's the word for brilliant McColgan after 2022 to remember

Eilish McColgan thanked her mother for her dedicated coaching as she rounded off an incredible 2022 by receiving the SJA Committee Award for her outstanding achievements on the track.

McColgan won gold in the 10,000m final at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, with her winning time of 30:48:60 breaking the Games record set by her mother Liz 32 years prior.

Honeysuckle Claims First Defeat Following 16 Races Unbeaten

If you listened closely enough to those ‘in the know’ in the lead-up to March of this year, you may have heard whispers of Honeysuckle – the horse who cannot be beaten.

It’s always interesting to hear people speak of horses who cannot lose. Of course, they can. But for Honeysuckle, it was unlikely.

The mare, trained by Henry de Bromhead, was unbeaten in 15 races going into the Champion Hurdle on the opening day of the 2022 Cheltenham Festival.

The Rookies Of 2023: Who Are Formula One’s New Stars?

Formula One will see some seismic changes for the 2023 season with regard to the driver line-up. With four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel retiring in what is a sorrowful time for fans of the German superstar, and long-term fan favourite Daniel Ricciardo also stepping away from the grid next year – it poses a lot of questions around how the new driver line-up will look.

In a rather bizarre couple of years for Ziyech, now is the time for redemption as the creative winger heads to his second World Cup – the last attempt in 201

George Russell's Fight For A Formula One Title

George Russell’s move to Mercedes for the 2022 season was one of the more unsurprising transfers in F1 history, with rumours circulating for what seemed like an eternity before pen was put to paper.

The Kings Lynn native looked too good for his sluggish Williams in which he sat for three seasons before switching to the Silver Arrows.

Looking back on the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix, where Russell kept Lewis Hamilton’s seat warm following a positive COVID test, it was evident that Russell could drive

Katie Taylor set to defend undisputed boxing title at Wembley Arena

Wembley Arena will welcome Katie Taylor this coming Saturday where she will defend her unbeaten record and collection of lightweight belts.

In what has been a fantastic era for women’s boxing, especially in London, the fight follows the colossal match between Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall at the O2 Arena, which saw Shields become the undisputed middleweight champion earlier this month.

Taylor is a huge name for the sport and will certainly draw a crowd to North West London on Saturday
