00:02 - Hello and welcome along to this festive look back episode
00:16 of Invicta Sport.
00:17 It's been a very exciting six months
00:19 on the KMTV sports desk
00:21 after relaunching our dedicated sports show.
00:23 And I can't thank you enough for sticking with me
00:25 on this journey.
00:26 But first, let's roll back to the very first episode
00:29 of Invicta Sport, when we spoke to Danny Brazenall
00:32 from Seven Oaks, who decided to cycle 2,500 miles
00:37 to visit all 92 football league stadiums.
00:40 Let's take a look at just how well he did
00:43 and the chat that we had on his return.
00:45 Have you ever wondered what it would look like
00:47 to visit all 92 football league grounds?
00:50 Well, you're looking at it.
00:51 2,500 miles in just a few weeks
00:55 after setting off from Carlisle on 13th of August,
00:58 ex-cab driver Danny Brazenall has done it.
01:01 All in an effort to raise money
01:03 for the Great Ormond Street Hospital,
01:05 the cycling novice set himself the challenge
01:07 after wanting to do something to give back to the charity
01:10 that looked after his niece when she was unwell.
01:12 From Premier League giants to Gillingham in League Two,
01:16 Danny visited them all.
01:17 As they flash by, can you spot the home of your club?
01:20 The route was based off last season's teams,
01:23 taking him from Carlisle United
01:25 all the way down to the likes of Liverpool,
01:27 a dip into Wales where he reached Swansea,
01:29 through and past the London clubs,
01:32 and finishing right down in the southwest at Plymouth.
01:35 And of course, as a massive United fan,
01:37 Danny couldn't resist but to visit Old Trafford
01:40 wearing his kit.
01:42 And here on Invicta Sport,
01:43 we've been following Danny's journey
01:44 from some last minute training at Priestfield Stadium
01:47 to checking in when he reached Bristol City.
01:49 Overall, Danny's cycling efforts
01:51 raised just under a whopping £12,000 for the charity.
01:56 So it's safe to say a job well done.
01:58 But from just a few months ago
02:00 having barely any cycling experience,
02:03 all that's left to ask is what will Danny pick up
02:06 and challenge himself to do next?
02:08 Well, I'm pleased to say that Danny joins me
02:12 in the studio now.
02:13 Really great to see you, Danny.
02:15 How did you get through it all?
02:17 - I don't know, really, to be fair.
02:19 Just kept going every day,
02:20 just take it one day at a time.
02:22 So yeah, it's really good.
02:24 - Yeah, no, I mean, I'm looking at it,
02:25 like I've said before,
02:26 it's not something I could ever achieve.
02:28 But I mean, before and going into this,
02:30 you weren't a cyclist.
02:31 I mean, you'd sort of not really picked up,
02:33 picked up it much.
02:34 I mean, has that changed now?
02:35 Are you going to carry on with the cycling?
02:36 - No, I would just go out
02:37 and do a cycle every now and again,
02:40 but not too sure really.
02:41 But I'm not going to do it again.
02:43 Never.
02:44 It's game over.
02:45 - Well, no, of course.
02:46 I mean, I don't expect you to go up
02:46 and do the whole sort of 92 again.
02:48 But I mean, any more sort of fundraising in the pipeline?
02:51 - No, definitely not.
02:52 I've done quite well.
02:54 - Well, let's talk about what you have done then
02:56 and what you have achieved.
02:58 Last time I checked, it was just under 12,000,
03:00 but we were talking just a little bit before
03:02 and it's not quite right.
03:03 Plus gift aid, how much have you read?
03:04 - 14,188 so far.
03:07 - I mean, congratulations.
03:08 That is an incredible amount.
03:09 And I mean, what you've done is just fantastic as well.
03:11 It's all going to Great Ormond Street Hospital.
03:14 Just before we talk about that,
03:15 you can see on the screen there,
03:17 just some of the pictures that you sent through
03:18 from those 92 stadiums.
03:20 Now, can you just remind us why it was
03:21 that you chose Great Ormond Street Hospital?
03:24 - Really, our friends really,
03:26 speaking to some of the friends,
03:27 got to know them really well.
03:28 And some of their stories that they were going through
03:31 and they were saying like their children
03:32 have been in Great Ormond Street.
03:34 And once I got to know them really well
03:36 and heard some more of what they've been through,
03:38 I just thought, yeah, Great Ormond Street's the one.
03:40 So, yeah, really good.
03:42 - Yeah, and you were telling me before,
03:43 and we spoke about it the last time you came,
03:45 you used to be a cab driver
03:46 and there is that Black Cabs up in London.
03:49 There is that sort of link, isn't there?
03:50 - Yeah, definitely.
03:51 It's like, they don't charge people
03:53 when they come out of the train station
03:54 to go to Great Ormond Street.
03:57 It's really good, so yeah.
03:59 - Well, let's talk about the bike ride then.
04:00 I mean, we've got the picture,
04:02 we've got the correct picture on the screen now
04:04 of you at Old Trafford.
04:06 Obviously, Manchester United fan.
04:08 Was this your favourite?
04:09 I mean, what was the sort of, your favourite one?
04:11 - My favourite one was Harrogate Town.
04:13 - Okay.
04:14 - When they went up into the National League,
04:16 I think it was 2017, I think it was,
04:19 they had the cup still in the actual cabin they had
04:23 and they offered us to hold it,
04:25 so that was quite touchy.
04:26 - Oh, brilliant.
04:27 - So yeah, that was my best one,
04:29 and obviously finishing it.
04:30 Old Trafford's just Old Trafford, that never changed.
04:33 - I mean, you've been there before, haven't you?
04:33 - Yeah, yeah.
04:34 - You go there all the time as a fan.
04:35 Yeah, no, that's brilliant.
04:36 Well, I mean, going through it then,
04:38 I mean, you've got to be,
04:40 you must be quite the resilient man
04:42 to be able to go through 2,500 miles.
04:46 What was that like?
04:48 How did you get yourself into that mindset of,
04:50 I'm just gonna carry on until I get to Plymouth?
04:52 - When I first started, I decided to put it in
04:55 as like a day job, 23 days, has to be done,
04:58 there's no getting out of it.
05:00 - Exciting stuff there, but it wasn't just our guests
05:03 getting out and about this year,
05:05 our presenters all got involved too.
05:07 Here's a look back at a story from Abbey,
05:09 who had a go at trying out paddleboarding in Tunbridge
05:12 with a group who have been striving
05:14 to clean up the Kent Rivers
05:16 so that more people can enjoy the sport.
05:18 Take a look.
05:19 - A passion for paddling,
05:21 protecting wildlife and reducing plastic.
05:24 Here's a sport that encompasses all three.
05:27 Paddleboarding.
05:30 Sup with Anna was born out of a love for the water
05:33 during a very isolated time in the pandemic.
05:37 And the water sport has since soared in popularity.
05:40 - It's the fastest growing sport in UK at the moment.
05:43 Definitely more so with female attendance.
05:48 So from my stats, about 88% are women,
05:51 but also we have some men just a bit more
05:54 on the competitive side.
05:55 So we have racing as well.
05:58 We do loads of our members do race.
06:01 Yes, huge, huge growth in the last four years.
06:06 - And Anna, a huge issue that we've seen
06:07 hit all the headlines recently as well is sewage
06:10 and the sewage discharge pollution in our rivers,
06:13 like the River Medway that we're on right now.
06:15 How worried are you about river pollution
06:17 and what that could mean for your business?
06:20 - Super worried.
06:21 There's more and more we hear about,
06:23 obviously because the paddleboarding community is growing.
06:26 So there's a big campaign out now by Lizzy Carr,
06:29 who is the founder of Planet Patrol.
06:30 We're actually testing the waters and it is huge.
06:34 I mean, every year I probably have a one week off
06:37 because of the algae and because of obviously
06:40 the farmers around us throwing all the chemicals in.
06:42 You have to stop.
06:45 So for me, a week in the height of the summer, it's huge.
06:49 And also obviously for the benefit of all these people,
06:51 their mental health, they wanna be out on the water.
06:54 It's not good, definitely not good.
06:57 Yeah, and wildlife, you know, not the last thing.
07:00 Wildlife, you see dead fish, you see dead sheep,
07:03 you see, it's not good.
07:06 - But it's not just sewage polluting the river.
07:09 - Found a glass bottle, a shoe.
07:13 Someone was obviously drinking shots
07:15 'cause there's loads of shot glasses in there.
07:18 There's a football, if I didn't mention that.
07:20 Plastic bottles, loads of paper.
07:23 - How long did it take you to find
07:25 everything you've got today?
07:26 - Probably about 10 minutes in total.
07:30 It was a good but very sad for you.
07:33 - Clearing up the river is just one way
07:35 of giving back to the water they paddle on every day.
07:38 And not only does the sport boost their bodies,
07:41 but these enthusiasts say it works magic for their minds.
07:46 - It makes your mind just go quiet.
07:48 Nothing stresses you out.
07:50 Once you come out of your paddle boarding,
07:52 it's like you are completely refreshed.
07:54 - Really good in terms of thinking about
07:57 in your head, the balance, but also in your body.
08:01 So good for muscles all around.
08:04 - It's fantastic, it really does help.
08:06 I actually, if I've not been out for a few days
08:09 because of work or family,
08:11 I start to feel that I need to get out.
08:15 - It's not just stand up paddle boarding,
08:17 sit down or kneeling down.
08:18 You can also do yoga on these boards
08:20 and a litter pick as you go down the river.
08:23 But also, it's a pretty interesting way to walk your dog.
08:26 Come on then.
08:29 Abbey Hook and Lola for KMTV.
08:35 And of course, in July, it was Wimbledon season once again.
08:38 So with the tennis fever taking over,
08:40 I went to visit one of Kent's local junior clubs
08:43 with a very special reason as to why they coach tennis
08:46 for so many youngsters across the country.
08:49 Wimbledon is back and whilst the world's greatest players
08:52 are currently battling it out in Southwest London,
08:55 I've come to Bridge to see one of Kent's
08:57 many grassroots initiatives
08:58 where the Wimbledon stars of tomorrow
09:00 are just beginning their tennis journeys.
09:03 The Sadie Bristow Foundation was set up
09:05 by Stuart and Claire Bristow from Chatham
09:08 following the sudden death of their daughter
09:10 due to allergies in 2018.
09:13 Before her passing, Sadie became the UK's
09:15 number one under nine seed and her love of tennis
09:18 inspired them to make it their mission
09:20 to see as many children pick up the sport as possible.
09:24 And that's why they now run weekly after school sessions
09:26 and work with clubs across the country
09:28 to widen the opportunities for young people
09:31 and to raise awareness and guidance for allergies.
09:34 - We started, we created For Sadie.
09:38 Our community here at the club and beyond,
09:42 was nationwide because Sadie with her talent in tennis.
09:45 We're very supportive and they raised a lot of money
09:50 for Sadie and for us as a family
09:52 so we put everything into the foundation.
09:54 - You're gonna see chaos and mayhem.
09:57 (laughs)
09:58 That's pretty much what it's gonna be.
10:00 Organised chaos and mayhem.
10:01 You're gonna see an array of kids
10:03 from the age of five to 11 all coming down.
10:05 For me, the main thing is engagement and having fun.
10:08 It's creating an environment where they feel comfortable.
10:10 It's creating an environment
10:11 where they're enjoying themselves.
10:13 - And chaos was an ace description.
10:15 I saw a passion fill the court in a flurry of swinging,
10:20 serving and smashing the ball as hard as possible.
10:23 From balancing drills and practising returns
10:25 to game scenarios, the players were split into groups
10:29 based on their ability rather than age.
10:31 - I like competing and playing tennis
10:35 means I have a lot of chance to compete against other people.
10:38 - I love how when you play tennis,
10:40 you don't know where it's gonna go
10:41 because it could go anywhere.
10:44 - I like hitting the ball over the net and hitting it back.
10:47 - Well, I like learning something new every time I play.
10:50 - I want to practise and practise until I get good
10:55 so that I might win the competition.
10:58 - So we always had this dual mission to do tennis,
11:01 sport-related health and the allergy side of things.
11:04 So predominantly I've been working
11:06 with other medical professionals
11:08 and other charities and organisations
11:10 to try and spread awareness and education.
11:13 So primarily we've been going into small clubs or schools,
11:18 creating online events or in-person events for parents
11:22 and anybody who looks after a child with allergies.
11:24 - So with Sadie's spirit at the heart of the foundation,
11:27 Claire and Stuart are rallying to share their message
11:30 and to serve up the next generation of champions.
11:34 Now we've reached halftime,
11:35 which means it is time for a break,
11:37 but coming up, we'll be looking at
11:38 when Football Cup fever took over Kent
11:41 in the form of both the World Cup
11:42 and a very special visit from the FA Cup itself in Thanet.
11:46 Plus we'll have a very special look
11:48 at some of the best action replay submissions
11:51 from you, the KMTV viewers.

15:07 Hello and welcome back to this very festive look back episode of Invicta Sport.
15:14 Lovely to still have you with us.
15:16 Now not too long ago, FA Cup fever hit some of our non-league clubs.
15:20 Sheppar United reached the first round for the first time
15:23 and Ramsgate reached the second round for the first time.
15:26 And with the Rams gearing up to face League 2 Wimbledon at the start of December,
15:30 one secondary school in Thanet had a very special visit from the famous cup itself.
15:35 Here's how it all went down.
15:36 The FA Cup, 6.3 kilograms of silver,
15:42 wrapped in tons of football history and previously held by some of the sport's greatest.
15:48 Seen here held by former Medway school boy Chris Smalling
15:52 when he won with Manchester United in 2016.
15:55 Ahead of Ramsgate FC's first ever foray into the second round of the competition,
16:00 the cup itself has been on tour.
16:03 Stopping here today at Heartstown Academy,
16:06 which just so happens to be the workplace of Rams manager and school deputy head Ben Smith.
16:11 I mean it just breeds belief and confidence, you know,
16:15 that local people, you know, can have success.
16:18 You know, if I go back to the game against Woking,
16:23 you know, one of the goal scorers was TJ Jadama, ex-student of Heartstown Academy.
16:29 You know, so it's nice to show students that actually this is an ex-student here.
16:33 You know, and hopefully they can be the next TJ and not only a fantastic player,
16:39 but you know, a fantastic role model for the work he does in the local community, his coaching.
16:44 So yeah, it's great to show, you know, what our alumni can achieve.
16:50 Yeah, it feels surreal coming back to the old school where it all started
16:53 and speaking to the teachers, seeing some of them here.
16:56 We used to talk about the FA Cup loads in school,
16:59 so it feels good to bring it back here and have it for the community.
17:04 So I know a lot of the kids that go to this school
17:06 and way back when I was here I didn't think I'd be at this point,
17:09 but obviously we've worked hard to get where we are.
17:11 And yeah, hopefully for them and for some of our family,
17:15 we get to the next round and get through.
17:17 And with a capacity away crowd set to travel to Wimbledon this Monday,
17:21 many of these youngsters will be left to watch the game live on TV.
17:25 I think it's brilliant how far they've come and then how much further they could go.
17:30 You can look up to them and use them as a role model.
17:33 I've had about three and a half thousand people ask me for tickets,
17:36 so yeah, there's been massive response from all the fans.
17:43 It's just the pubs, all the local pubs are showing it live.
17:47 There's so many people interested in it.
17:51 It's just everywhere in the local area, you know,
17:53 even outside the local area, everyone's talking about it.
17:55 You can't get physically much closer to the Cup than this,
17:59 but in terms of football, well Ramsgate have never been this close either.
18:03 If they beat Wimbledon on Monday, well,
18:06 they'll be even one more step closer to the FA Cup.
18:09 Bartholomew Hall for KMTV in Thanet.
18:13 And of course, another huge footballing event this year was the Lionesses
18:17 taking England to their first senior World Cup final in more than 50 years.
18:21 Abbey went down to Chatham Town's Boval Stadium
18:24 to watch the final with the ever-growing community there.
18:27 Nerves, anticipation, the weight of the world on their shoulders,
18:35 all in the hopes of holding that cup when the whistle blows.
18:39 Come on England!
18:42 Hundreds came to watch at Chatham Town Football Club
18:45 with high hopes for another super strike from Maidstone's Alessia Russo.
18:49 So with millions of eyes on the TV, could our Kent connection keep hers on the ball?
18:55 A nail-biting game mirroring the tense match last time England took on Spain
19:06 and became European champions.
19:09 But an early goal from the red side set the pace for the rest of play.
19:13 When that half-time whistle blew, some of the fans at Chatham Town lost faith,
19:20 but hope remained for those future Lionesses.
19:23 I don't think it's going as well as we hoped it would.
19:25 I think we look a bit nervous, but we know we can bring it back
19:30 because we've done it in the past and I think it's just 45 minutes left,
19:33 so we've just got to put everything on the line.
19:35 Yeah, I feel like maybe changes might need to be made.
19:39 It looks a bit slow and there's a bit of gaps in the field area.
19:43 I mean, we've had a few chances, but I think Spain are on top.
19:47 I think their possession is much more effective than ours.
19:52 They're keeping the ball better.
19:53 You know, we're forcing it.
19:55 We've had opportunities, which is great, but we've not really taken them.
19:58 And I think it's just not flowing very well, which sucks, I guess.
20:03 But there's hope. I have hope.
20:06 They'll come out second half and hopefully they'll get a goal.
20:09 But it wasn't meant to be.
20:13 A double substitution at half-time saw Russo on the bench for the rest of the game.
20:17 Spirits were dampened, but a penalty save from Mary Earps
20:22 put the roar back in the Lionesses and the fans.
20:26 Yeah!
20:39 The Lionesses just couldn't quite equalise, losing to Spain 1-0.
20:45 But staying true to their title showed bravery and courage throughout.
20:52 And later this year, one of Kent's iconic spots for motorsport,
20:55 Buckmoor Park Karting Circuit, celebrated 60 years of fostering some of motorsport's biggest names.
21:02 From Lewis Hamilton to Lando Norris, the famous track has seen some of the greatest
21:06 speed around its tight corners and narrow straights.
21:09 Here's how the track celebrated the 60th.
21:11 Kent's very own Buckmoor Park, renowned for being one of the best karting tracks in the world,
21:16 let alone the country, has celebrated its 60th anniversary
21:20 with a charity kart race featuring local racing drivers and famous YouTubers.
21:24 Having been built in 1963 by the Royal School of Military Engineering,
21:29 the local scouts used the track for a few decades until it fell into disrepair in the 1980s.
21:33 In fact, in 1985 it was on the verge of being shut down permanently due to safety concerns
21:39 before new owners were found and it went under extensive restoration.
21:42 Despite recent struggles, circuit director Philip Ling
21:46 outlined just what it means to have the circuit going from strength to strength again.
21:50 "Honestly, really difficult to put into words, to be honest. You're absolutely right.
21:56 Really difficult few years. Being able to hold on as we did and actually come back stronger from it
22:02 was really brilliant for us, definitely."
22:05 A 90-minute charity race followed a quick 15-minute practice session,
22:09 with the grid for the race being decided by those who donated the most to charities,
22:13 including Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulances, as well as other causes.
22:17 Having been spotted by Buckmore Park's eventual owner and Formula One legend John Sertiz as a
22:22 youngster, British touring car driver Michael Kreese discussed just what significance Buckmore
22:26 shares within his career.
22:28 "I just came along and raced with my mates in a championship and then I got spotted by John
22:34 and he asked me to race in the Hemmings & Hayes Foundation, which I competed in and I ended up
22:39 doing very well that day against all the Formula One stars of today and
22:43 come away with three trophies which are still a prized possession of my house."
22:48 Back on the track and the drivers battled fiercely, split across two classes.
22:52 Signor Frogs B, a team run by the popular YouTubers The Sidemen,
22:56 managed to fight their way into the top three and finished third in the race,
23:00 marking a terrific occasion with an equally popular result.
23:03 "Today it was good. It's weird though, like there's one section of the course that's wet
23:08 and then the rest of it's pretty dry. So yeah, other than that it was sick. Loved it."
23:14 "I've known me to Buckmore. I've done a few karting experiences in my life,
23:17 mainly stag do's and I seem to remember my 15th birthday party,
23:21 but I'm just here having a good time and racing is my life of charity."
23:24 Having helped to nurture the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and Johnny Herbert in
23:29 its first 60 years, without a doubt Buckmore is going to host more world-class talent
23:33 as it continues to challenge karters from across the country.
23:37 Shea Rogers for KMTV.
23:41 And finally, these six months of Invicta Sport would have never been the same if it
23:45 wasn't for the feedback and support we get from you, the KMTV viewers.
23:49 As always, we say this is your show just as much as it is ours,
23:53 and we always encourage you to take part and get involved.
23:56 And that's why our next look back is one of my personal favourite parts of Invicta Sport.
24:00 Action Replay is the segment where we take a look at pictures and videos sent in by you,
24:05 and it's always open to more submissions.
24:07 So make sure you're sending in your sporty clips and pics to be included in 2024.
24:12 But here's some of the best from 2023.
24:14 Welcome to this week's electrifying edition of Action Replay.
24:19 And this pair from Ashford have taken on an astonishing 1 million step challenge,
24:24 all to raise money for the East Kent Hospital's charity.
24:27 Danielle Bryant and Ruth Maguire smashed their target and completed the challenge.
24:33 Danielle, who has multiple sclerosis, says the 400 mile feat was definitely a challenge,
24:39 but overall saw lots of benefits for their own health and well-being too.
24:43 History was made in Kent this week as a woman became the first ever to swim the channel with
24:49 a stoma. 43-year-old Jill Castle swam mostly in the dark after setting off from the Kent coast
24:55 at half past nine on Monday and arrived in Wisson just before half 11 in the morning on Tuesday.
25:01 Jill took on the 21 mile challenge to raise awareness of childbirth injuries
25:05 and to raise money for stoma nurses in Kenya. What an achievement.
25:10 English football all-time record-breaking goal, which took place in Chatham.
25:15 Jack Lyons scored this screamer from the centre spot, opening the scoring for Rostelev C for what
25:21 would go on to be a dominant youth FA Cup match for the Tunbridge Wells side over Chatham Town.
25:28 The eager 15-year-old then scored twice more, sealing himself a well-deserved hat-trick.
25:33 The clip has since gone viral on social media.
25:36 This shocking clip shows a man surfing during Storm Kieran, which battered Kent this week.
25:41 This photo, sent in by Richard Parker, captured the moment the man plunged into the sea
25:46 during 85 mile per hour winds. Whilst these pictures may look spectacular,
25:51 many have deemed it reckless and irresponsible.
25:54 And finally in Tunbridge, a paddle boarding group went on the River Medway,
25:57 dressed up as Santas, as you can see here.
26:00 The group, Stand Up Paddleboarding with Anna, meet regularly for beginners
26:04 and experienced paddle boarders, and make quite the sight along some of Kent's most renowned rivers.
26:10 This time, dotting the waterway with red costumes,
26:13 the group made sure to bring up the festive mood for everyone walking by.
26:17 Well that's it for this week's Action Replay.
26:20 Don't forget it could be you in next week's edition.
26:22 Just send in your pictures and videos on social media, or to sport@kmtv.co.uk.
26:28 And that is full-time on Invicta Sport in 2023.
26:33 It's been an absolute blast sharing this show with you,
26:35 and we can't wait to do plenty more in 2024 and beyond.
26:39 We hope you're having a fantastic festive break,
26:41 and we'll see you on our first episode on the 5th of January.
26:44 Bye-bye.
