Women's Metrobank 50 Surrey - Next 'Must Win'

The path to silverware comes like this. Beat Surrey today at the Oval. The beat Hampshire at Southamptonin the 'Eliminator' next Wednesday. Then beat Notts at the same place in the Final. Simples. The path starts today with a game in London. Win and we go on, lose and an excellent season ends at that point. Hope Springs eternal. Liv Barnes returns in stead of Jazz Westley today.
Women's Metrobank Must Win v Lancashire

The Women have two games left to get into a position to go forward into a semi final and a possible place in the Final of the One Day Cup in Southampton in about a fortnight's time. Both our Somerset sides could be in a trophy final stages in the last week of the season. But the women have to win both games to be certain and may still need Warwickshire to mess up along the way. You can only do what you can do and each game left in the season counts. We face Lancashire at Taunton today in what could be Kate Cross's last professional match of a phenomenal career. Sophie luff has won the toss and elected to field first. The ground looks ready so we seem to be starting on time
CC1 v Leicestershire and Friends!!

We go to Leicestershire for the first time in a long time for a Championship match and Jake Ball returns to a sidse that is pretty much the one that beat Glamorgan in 3 days last week. the rain has delayed the start but the Foxes have won the toss and decided to bowl first. We face ex Somerset players, but not the ones you would expect. no Ben Green or Josh Davey in the side but we will be seeing Nathan Gilchrist who has been loaned to Leicestershire by rivals Warwickshire for this game. He'll then be returning to Birmingham to help in their attemp to win the CC1 when they play the Foxes in their lasat game. What a coincidence that he should be surplus to requirements when Somerset are pushing to for the title and then is necessary in their own Championship run in

Early days of Autumn

I’ve waited a few days before writing this. Sometimes it’s better to allow thoughts to gestate. Tuesday night’s game against Rotherham still represents a major improvement in the way we are playing. The result could be very important for us by the end of the season.

Spanish GP: Scrappy qualifying for Williams F1 Team

Qualifying for the 2026 Spanish GP was what was descibed by their drivers as both scrappy and tough the Atlassian Williams F1 Team would see Alex Albon make it into Q2 finishing in 16th while teammate Carlos Sainz was one place behind in 17th. Both drivers would have their own issues that impacted their qualifying efforts with the smallest of margins between the pair in Q1 yet Alex would make it into Q2 and Carlos didn't. So very frustrating but both drivers are going to work to achieve a good result. For Carlos he will start from 20th after receiving a penalty for impeding. This is going to make their task that much harder.
Spanish GP: Challenging Friday for Williams F1 Team

Friday practice for the 2026 Spanish GP was a challenging day for the Atlassian Williams F1 Team as we would see Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon finish in 16th and 18th. Both drivers would enjoy the new Madring circuit but at the end of the day the team was overall not very competitive as both Carlos and Alex continued to struggle with the weaknesses of the FW48. Whether the team can make some progress going into Saturday is far from certain. But there is still a lot of work to do for the team and hopefully the team can make some steps forward.
Spanish GP: Atlassian Williams F1 Team Grand Prix Preview

Just one week after the Italan GP the Atlassian Williams F1 Team moves to Madrid and the Madring circuit for the 2026 Spanish GP. With the track been Carlos Sainz home race it is hoped that the team can come away with a successful race. But given that this is a totally new track with a whole series of unknown elements, ranging from the track surface, energy management, through to the banked curves, it going to be a demanding event. But for the team it will see them run their special livery with its FW07 heritage so again hopefully this will see the team be successful.
