Three competitions where we've no skin in the games taking place this weekend. First it's the Ladies Cricket World Cup Final which will feature South Africa v India. In the semi's, South Africa battered England, winning by 125 runs, whilst India chased down a world record 338 run Aussie score to win by 5 wickets, with an over and a half to spare.

England men play the 3rd ODI v New Zealand but having lost the first two this game isn't going to win the Town Hall Clock for anyone.

We've also got the 2nd RL Egg Chasing Test between England and Australia at Everton's shiny new stadium on Saturday afternoon. England will be lookng to put up a better performance than last weekend at Wembley, but those Aussies look as formidable as ever.

Back to the Rounders for Fat Blokes. It took 18 innings (a normal match is 9) and over 6 hours to get a result in the 3rd match of the series at Dodger Stadium. The LA Dodgers eventually scored the winning run for a 6-5 victory and a 2-1 lead. On Tuesday the Jays bats came out firing again, though they only hit one home run they won 6-2 to level the series at 2-2. Come Wednesday night and the Jays came out swinging. Two home runs in the first 3 pitches of the first innings (a series first) set the tone for the game. Meanwhile Yesavage pitched another record beating game for a "rookie" with 12 strike outs to restrict the Dodgers to 1 run. The Jays meanwhile batted and walked in another 4 runs to win 6-1 and head for home leading 3-2. One win from the two home games, tonight or tomorrow could spark another "Touch them all Joe" moment for Da Jays, or they could Blow it. The games start at 1:00 am our time for you night owls and insomniacs.

The CFL Egg Chasing semi finals take place this weekend with Winnipeg at Montreal and Calgary at BC on Saturday. If you can tear yourself away rom the wall to wall Prima Donna League and FA Cup R1 coverage tomorrow, games are streamed live on CFL+. https://www.cfl.ca/plus/ Add 5 hours to the posted ET start times for kick-off time over here.

I might have just mentioned football. FA Cup games are being covered from tonight, across the weekend to 4 games on Sunday and one on Monday night. You'll be shocked to find these are all games where an upset might occur with Tamworth (amongst others) once again throwing hot potatoes into Orients box this season. Trying not to be annoyed with getting no FA Cup games to show as they are split between the Beeb and TNT Sports, Sky have scheduled Wrexham v Coventry toinight, 3 Chumpionship games for 12:30pm including The Baggies v Wendies, and a pair of Prima Donna League games for 5:30pm and 8pm on Saturday, in addition to their usual two games on Sunday.

Along with radio commentaries or the usual Saturday afternoon pundits on certain TV channels watching the goals go in, that's around 10 hours of wall to wall football sports fans. Remember to eat so you don't pass out too early. Happy weekend and don't eat too many of those chocolates that the kids have snaffled for you.
