The week's sporting events in images...

gmen · 27th of January 2008 (Sun)

Well, not much of global news interest here... but here are a few of the pics I've shot on my travels this last week or so.

Eye-watering stuff for starters... or are you just pleased to see me?...

Fisheye boxing moment from Friday night...

Good light today so time for 560mm thwunkage...

Life's a beach...

Hockey... can't get enough of it...

Lynes powers his way to the title...

Another team group from the Marshes. One day I'll post a thread with 'em all in...

Some of the UK members may have heard of Havant & Waterlooville FC. Here's a pic from their last (very bizarre) match before their big FA Cup day out at Anfield. If you'd like to see some more pics of a very odd night in South Essex, feel free to let me know...

Plenty more where these came from (unfortunately for you folks!)... full galleries here:

Great stuff as always Gavin. #1 must have 'made an impact' - the picture and caption made me laugh.

I've been following the story about Havant & Waterlooville, so please do post up some more pictures, and let us know the details from the touchline! I know they ended up getting beaten by Liverpool, but they did put two past Liverpool in the process!!

Cheers,

Simon.

Gavin, good stuff as usual...#1 makes me sit up and protect a little better. Liking the boxing, something haven't gotten to shoot yet.

Cheers,
Mike

Well at least you managed to get some shots before the floodlights failed at Thurrock

Great stuff as always Gavin.

Bollan · 27th of January 2008 (Sun)

Great shots as always. First shot is......hmmmmm....cruel

!!!!

Darsk47 · 27th of January 2008 (Sun)

All excellent - that last one is very clean for iso 3200 !

dsul413 · 27th of January 2008 (Sun)

Fantastic shots!

montanafan · 27th of January 2008 (Sun)

Cheers Chris! Thurrock is a long way from Anfield...

The story of the night was the Justin Gregory issue (see below for link):

Havant took the lead not long before the lights went out...

The match officials about to abandon the game in the gloom...

Thanks Simon...

The story of the night at Thurrock starts here: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/spo...cle3239350.ece

Of course, the floodlight failure rendered the potential appeal pointless! A bizarre twist given what had gone before.

Top notch as ever Gavin great sharp shots, #1 will be singing Soprano in team coach

Big Hands · 28th of January 2008 (Mon)

I said to myself as the first shot began to load, "Well, that's not quite the usual 'peak action' shot I'm used to seeing from Gavin..."

Then the rest of the shot loaded... Definitely peak action

And even us hicks here in the states have been able to follow Havant & Waterlooville FC's recent journey. That's what the FA Cup is all about.

Nice work as always and thank you for sharing.

Regards,
Jeff

Thanks very much Jeff! The Havant story has certainly had global appeal.

As for peak action

I'm fortunate to see plenty of that each week on the Marshes... here's a less painful spot of the peak stuff...

Thanks very much Mike. Not sure if they have them in baseball, but a 'box' is used in cricket... perhaps footballers should consider them too!

As for shooting boxing, highly recommended unless you're a bit squeamish!

Good colour on the last shot.
Great set of pictures.
Re the story about Havant, they would have pulled a few bob from the game against Liverpool so that should keep them in the black for a year or two.
