Weekend sports wrap

Ben Shaw and Wade Gleeson

TOO much sport will be barely enough when Ben Shaw and Wade Gleeson take to the airwaves on community radio Tyga 98.9FM this Saturday. There will be sports news aplenty and probably a few laughs as "Shawry and Gleeso" each Saturday from 8-9am.

"We will be talking all things sport in the Derwent Valley - footy, cricket, basketball, netball, soccer - whatever we can come up with," Ben said. "We will have a huge focus on trying to let people know what is on in the Valley to either participate in or to go watch," he said.

There will be a special guest interview each week, starting with Eagles coach Mathew Smith this Saturday. Smith's mother Lee is also in the news this week, celebrating her 600th game with the New Norfolk Hockey Club.

The show will also advertise junior sports events, ground changes and game cancellations. Another aim will be to try to build up sports that would not normally get many participants or recognition. "We would like any input into the show you could give us, so if you're involved in any sport at all at any level, and you want to get something out there for the community to hear, please contact either of us and set up a way to get the info through and we will gladly relay it on the show," Ben said.
