Record attendance at Torquay United women today, for the FA Cup Devon derby tie against Exeter City at Plainmoor. A challenge too far for the Yellows, but great support 👏👏👏

Embrace at Kernowfornia last night. They were brilliant. And what a wonderful festival this is, music on two stages on the beach at Looe. Such a lovely atmosphere 😍

Well, that was a bit tense at times, England v France, but the Red Roses are through to the Women's Rugby World Cup Final! Woo hoo! Two stunning tries from Ellie Kildunne. And what a fantastic atmosphere at Ashton Gate, Bristol. Even saw a rainbow 🌈

Final day of cricket '25 at Taunton yesterday, Somerset just running out of time in their quest for getting Hampshire all out twice in two days. Second pic shows all 11 Somerset players surrounding the Hampshire batters in search of the final 2 wickets. Brilliant drama. See you again next year boys!

Very fortunate to see Dear England at Theatre Royal Plymouth this week, and meet the actors and writer afterwards. You don't have to be a football fan to enjoy it. It's funny, emotional and it's world class. Go see it if you can!

What a fantastic game this afternoon at the Women’s Rugby World Cup at Sandy Park, Exeter, Fiji beating Wales 28-25 in a proper thriller. Lots of points too in the earlier game, Canada beating Scotland. Terrific value for money, these double headers 🏉

What a day at Sandy Park, Exeter, for the Women's Rugby World Cup double header, starting with New Zealand v Japan and then France v Brazil. The quality and the atmosphere was amazing. Just a top day all round 😍
