Welcome to Monday Kids!

Another exciting weekend of sports and not just because of the 46-0 win for the Tamworth Phoenix over the Lancashire Wolverines. Chris Froome had an amazing victory in the Tour of Romandie, leading from the prologue to the finish, and Amir Khan gave a spirited performance in a hard fought win in Sheffield showing that British Boxing still has some pride.

Congratulations are also due to Kim Little who picked up the inaugural female PFA award.
