[Me]Sports: Olympics and Barnet!

I also have a sports post for you! Two different flavours today for you. First things first, there's a show on BBC1 tomorrow (29th July) at 10.35PM. Titled 'Olympic Dreams'...

...it shows the life of Britain's young Olympic stars as they prepare to take on the best of the world in the upcoming Beijing olympics, and also their training for London 2012. This is however the 3rd in the series - so why am I blogging about it? Because it involves two great young table tennis players, Darius Knight and Paul Drinkhall (Picture.

My second sports update is on my team, Barnet FC, and most notably their recent game against Arsenal. Final score was 1-2, however Barnet did take the lead with a wonderfully placed free-kick from left-back Kenny Gillet which beat Manuel Almunia. For the second half, Arsenal played a completely different 11, consisting of many new faces to football fans, from Arsenal's very successful youth setup. These youngsters actually played better than the more accomplished Arsenal team from the first half, and goals from Jay Simpson and Nacer Barazite sunk the Bees. The games was, however, a very good lesson for some of the younger players, and possibly one of Barnet's brighter young stars, Danny Hart, looks like he could turn out to be a very good player.

Until next time! Mr. Bean.
