Almanac Weekend Sports Results 26/6/16

AFL  – Round 14

Round two of the round of byes continues, no Sydney, West Coast, Port Adelaide, Essendon, Melbourne or Bulldogs. It appears Collingwood supporters forgot their team were playing and didn’t show up to watch a rare win, Adelaide proved capable in front of a partisan home crowd on a cold Thursday night, perfect for keeping the Chardonnay chilled.

 

Tigers dished it on Lions in the battle of the big cats while the meek cats from Geelong whimpered against the Saints, OK a loss by three points is close but the Cats were top and Saints down as far as 13^th, not a good game for tipsters.

 

GWS too slick for Bolton’s Blues and Hawthorn, how we wished you lost but you didn’t, YAWN! Gold Coast made you look pedestrian but then you go out and move into the next gear and over red rover.

 

And what about those licorice allsort jumpers the Hawks wore? Major improvement over the usual Hawks away strip.

 

Matches to date winners and losers.

Athletics

Tasmanian Jack Hale has become Australia’s fastest junior sprinter of all time, breaking the Australian U20 100m record in a time of 12.21 in Germany.

Hale ran the time in a heat at the Mannheim Junior Gala 0.06 quicker than the previous record of 10.27, set in March by teammate Trae Williams at the Australian under-20 championships in Perth.

Hale’s time is just 0.05 short of the Olympic qualifying time of 10.16. and has until July 11 to post an Olympic qualifier, meaning he’ll have to do so before the world juniors start on July 19 in Bydgoszcz.

 

Moto GP

Australian Jack Miller claimed his first Moto GP win in the Dutch TT at the Motul TT Assen track. Miller promoted from Moto3 18 months ago and racing in a Honda privateer team won in atrocious conditions. He is the 12th Australian to win a MotoGP race, the first since Casey Stoner in the 2012 Australian Grand Prix.
