Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's have a look at the weekend sports review put
together by Libby and the world darts number one Luke
Humphries took out the New Zealand Darts Masters in Hamilton
over the weekend. Humphreys crushed Cruise into the final, with
the highlight of the night being an impressive comeback win
over teen sensation Luke Litter in the semi final. I
saw that actually on the news outstanding the world number

(00:20):
one storm back from six to down to clinch of
seven six victory overs seventeen year old countrymen. And we'll
catch up a bit more with the Masters with Ben
rob After seven o'clock to Indy Cars, Scott McLaughlin had
the lead taken from him with eighteen laps to go
in the latest race in Illinois. A quick pit stop
from the winner, Joseph Newgarden saw the American sneak into first,

(00:43):
and a crash with eight laps to go saw the
red flag signal before new Garden got the jump on McLaughlin.
When the race resumed, McLachlan outlines what went wrong on
sky Sports Helo. It was a one on one with
the teams in the fit stop, so we lost track
position but you know that last restaff for some reason,
my HI didn't work, so I couldn't I couldn't deploy,
so I couldn't get close. Yeah, a big crash at

(01:05):
the start of that too, was a little bit like
the old slot cast back of the day that our
listeners all al'm talking about slot cars. Compatriot Marcus Armstrong
finished eighth and Scott Dixon finished eleventh. As you've heard
in the news, Lidia Coe has finished ninth at the
LPGA Scottish Golf Open.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Too.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Over par final round saw her finish five under for
the weekend, ten shots off American Lauren Coglan, who won
by four strokes. The Olympic champion remained in Scotland for
the World's Open for the Women's Open Major at s Andrews.
That'll be awesome starting on Thursday. And I think Lydia
is not too worried about things now. I think she's
pretty relaxed. Probably got a bit of chance now of
actually winning this the Woman's Open at son Andrews, just

(01:46):
because I think she's relaxed after that gold medal and
that was again one of my favorite things right in Perth.
And this is big news if you're at UFC followers Israel.
Adisunya fell short in this bid for a third middleweight title,
going down to champion Darius to du per See fourth
round submission. But Addisonnya is quashing talk of retirement. In
the Wakers defeat. It was the first career submission loss

(02:07):
and the first time he's lost two fights in a row.
While Dupercy suggested Adisagnya might consider a time, the two
time champion was quick to respond and then when I'm
back in New Zealand, I'm back in the gym, back
on the plan, the offseason plan to keep working because
again I'm not leaving and I feel amazing. I'm not
losing his body these games.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I feel amazing. Bryce.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, it was interesting. I'm not sure if you've seen
the footage, but the South African rugby side were They're
supporting their countrymen over Adisagnya. But it'd be interesting to
see what happens. Right, Let's look at football in the
English Premier League. It's underway and there were more big
wins for the big names. In the opening round of
the new season. Arsenal my team yes cruised or two
nil home went over the Wolves Wolverhampton, while Liverpool started

(02:48):
with a hard fought to nil victory away to newcomers
Ipswich Town. Great to see them back in the Top League.
Brentford started the season with a two to one win
over Crystal Palace and Man United open their title defense
with a two nil win over Chelsea. There it is
the champions are up and running again.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Pap Cordiona beats his old.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Assistant and Zomaraska City show but Harland still has the
goals in his boots. And also this morning I'm just
getting it up. Man City beat Chelsea to nel, so
that should keep you up to date. To that. Now
to rugby and on Rugby League. And on Friday the
Warriors face defeat to the Manly Seagulls, outscored for tries

(03:30):
to two. The sides of leave what ten ten at halftime,
but the Seagulls came back to take the match. Twenty
fourteen deffinitely definitely no more mathematical chance of ending the
Warriors top eight hopes and it's a season destined for
I suppose what ifs?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Really?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Isn't it a lot of poset losses, but it's been
a disappointing year for the Warriors. Let's shift to the
NPC and you heaps going on. Tasman beat Canterbury twenty
seven twenty two to seven and Nelson the Marco second
victory of the new season, and Northland beat one or
two thirty five eighteen and Fine got A. Waikato have
inflicted a third straight defeat on Counties Monaca with the

(04:07):
twenty six to twenty win and Poka Coe yesterday and
Counties Manecour captain James Thompson remains optimistic, though he told
Sky Sky Sports his team are showing minor improvements in
each game.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Last two games. We probably hasn't started the best best
we probably could. We've always finished twelve because it's pleasing
to see you that we did start well. Mix challenges
is putting a full ready together and moving on to
the next. There's plenty once from this team, a lot
of heart and a lot of local boys that want
to play well for their regent.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, and Taranaki Blue the lead in their clash against Wellington.
The defending champions are up nineteen to five at half
time before going down to the Lions twenty six nineteen.
Taranaki captain Ricky Ricky Ricatali told Sky Sports her side
failed to capitalize on the second stands up. We knew
they would come back in the second half and a
b physical and probably didn't win enough moments obviously in

(04:55):
that second half and didn't control the game enough.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
And meanwhile, Mark Kelly will be very happy bar plenty
fended off North Harbor twenty for twenty and Torong and
top the table with three wins from three. He'll be celebrating.
And of course the All Blacks found redemption at Eden
Park on Saturday night. Following last week's shot lost to Argentina.
The Boys came back to beat the Pumas forty two
points to ten in week conditions. Despite gusts of wind

(05:20):
and sheets of rain, The Abi's played as if the
ball was dried, dominating everywhere and New Gualan scored six
tries during the win, and All Blacks half back TJ.
Pillinara said the host went back to basics after suffering
their first lost under coach Scott Robinson.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
We simplified a bunch of our game tonight and David boys,
you know, some clear tasks out there and it was
good man for a big portion of that first half.
I thought we were in control. Boys of physical and
against a good art attend inside. I think we bounced back.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Well, yeah, they did bounce back well. TJ Peranaro what
I liked. He made a run. I mean that try
that was scored by Will Jordan come from him shooting
around the blind side. I think the All Blacks we
need to see our nine running more. They're going to
take on South Africa two games in so the Afia.
That's going to tell us where they really are. And
just to finish off, the highest paid athletes from the
Olympics have been revealed and they are the two Hong

(06:09):
Kong fencing champions. I'm like, sure, you're not going to
try and say their names, but I can tell you
that two fencing champions. They earned a whopping Listen to this,
one point two eight million dollars for their gold medal.
So the whole enjoy that. There we go. That is
a sports review from the Weekend
