hoping to put on a good show. it has been more than half a century since sulfite last reach my baby grand occasion and 1969 was their last challenge cup final. beaten on that day they have not returned since. until now. as a community club it would just be huge for us and i'm sad for those people who cannot go and we have to focus on getting the result and going out to win that trophy. fret sulphate to make it to bia—bi isa trophy. fret sulphate to make it to bia—bi is a huge achievement and it's taking a huge effort as well. for all the multi—million pound government loans the postponement and the bubbles and the excitement

of the cup comes with a hint of regret with the fans will not be there to cheer them on. wakey 51 yea rs there to cheer them on. wakey 51 years for this and we can't go. my husband went and have been waiting to go again and we were excited for them. it's a shame we can't be there but it means it's everything. if we limitl but it means it's everything. if we limit i don't know what i'll do. after all this time i cannot believe that we are there, i really cannot. it's like a dream come true. there are some that made their famous final much more recently. this will be his fourth four different clubs, all his previous ending in heartbreak. this may be his final chance. one of my biggest regrets in life is not winning and i can't complain but still go to bed at night with the desire and hunger

that i desperate to win so if we can go out there and when that trophy i don't think it will be a problem. for the opponents wimbley is much more familiar. winners in 2015, a score of that day he continues to spot —— inspire everyone in the game and beyond raising awareness for his motor neuron disease. he will not be at the final but he will be honoured. if i could at the final but he will be honoured. ifi could do at the final but he will be honoured. if i could do even at the final but he will be honoured. ifi could do even half at the final but he will be honoured. if i could do even half of what he's done for this club and where the number seven jc what he's done for this club and where the number sevenjc rich as much character to be a happy man and it would be great to go out there and do that. as fans wave off their teams the only thing for sure if this will be no ordinary cup final. you can watch the challenge cup final on bbc one tomorrow from 3pm and it's also on the spot extra and

the bbc sport website. it's champions day at ascot tomorrow, the finale of the flat racing season and britain's richest raceday. hollie doyle will be looking for her first group one victory to cap a brilliant season. she broke her own record this week for the number of wins by a female jockey in a year and she's been speaking to laura scott about what it's been like racing during the pandemic. it has been weird. to begin with al is not bothered i was just grateful to be back racing and it never crossed my mind but towards the back of the year now and on the big day it is very weird and it's a little bit demoralising but we cannot complain too much we should just be happy to be racing. i embrace the moment there and then am i suppose it isa moment there and then am i suppose it is a bit weird but we all had to adapt to the new restrictions and the social distancing in the room which has been weird but it's normal 110w which has been weird but it's normal now if you know what i mean. the tone has been lowered because in

between races you don't sit down and have a cup of tea and talk like you can't do that now so it is black and white at the moment. do you still like the fact that you are breaking records for female jockeys are due not really that that those records? last year you broke it for the most wins ina last year you broke it for the most wins in a calendar year and you are on track to do the same again this year. do you mind the fact that you have those records associated with you? no, it's good to achieve those records but ultimately it's just that to show other females that you can go out there and do it on equal terms without any kind of excuses so it's great. do you set yourself targets every year? probably to write 100 winds each year now i know it's easier said than done because it's easier said than done because it's not easy at all but i want to write as many wind as i can and get on some quality horses and improve asa on some quality horses and improve as a writer and i've been pretty

blessed this year and i was dreaming of writing this year and i've been better than i ever expected. how would you like to finish it off this weekend at the champions day? it would be the icing on the cake if they won the states but we would just keep being ambitious. now it's a hard enoughjob coaching a national team but imagine having to do it remotely? well that's what's happened to england's jess thirlby who tested positive for coronavirus just before she was due to take her team to new zealand. now thirlby is preparing the players via the internet as they get ready for the three test series against the world champions which starts in 12 days' time. i have been asymptomatic throughout so i have been asymptomatic throughout soi i have been asymptomatic throughout so i have not had any symptoms at all, either pre—or post and tests coming back positive but then when you talk about the context of our tea m you talk about the context of our team it's really tough it's a tough

one to swallow because i feel fine andl one to swallow because i feel fine and i feel physically well so it's been more of a mental toll than a physical one this last kind of seven days. it's a huge challenge and it's not what we hoped for and it's not what i planned for albeit we had several contingencies but i do pride myself on not being defeated and never taking no for an answer and a lwa ys never taking no for an answer and always thinking naturally and i think you know what it is turned the ta bles think you know what it is turned the tables on this and think about what opportunities could be created. i'm a big believer that i genuinely feel this could really strengthen the tea m this could really strengthen the team in the months and years to come and we did not ask for it and we would not choose to do it this way but actually i'm pretty confident it might accelerate the development but some of the behaviours that we speak to every week that we want as part of our everyday culture will stop now to one of the biggest fights of the year... it's in vegas tomorrow night where teofimo lopez will face

vasiliy lomachenko for a winner takes all bout in the lightweight division. and there's a bit of history between them.... two years ago there was an incident in a hotel between lopez's father and lomachenko — so reckon — this fight is not one to miss. what a big shot by lopez! it is done, maybe he is ready because he is well champion of clasie is ready. that guy is there to take my bread and butter and that's what it comes to and i'm not going to have no man, everything had been throughjust

and i'm not going to have no man, everything had been through just for one man because i'm scared? no, i'm not scared. why do i have to be scared? it's very fun, we do this every day, it's very fun. i remember the situation after my fight his father asked me can you make a picture with my son i said ok of course no problem. something happened, something my father didn't like the way he carried himself and my father went off on him. i can't really say what happened but i laughed about it and i will be honest i laughed about it when i found out. it depends on what he's going to do and what he can bring to

the rain. that'sjust what it comes to. i think of it as that and don't get me wrong the man can carry himself the way he has to but he's not a god. there is only one god and that's not him. for me, it's not about him it's about the belt, becoming undisputed world champion. that is why we have despite and did magnitude of eight. it was one and a half rounds and he is well champion and i respect it. personally for me it's another belt and another title. he has to pay somebody like me knowing what the confidence i have i can't wait.

that looks like it will be quite a fight. have you ever made an outrageous pledge and had to go through with it? ashley is a passionate whiles fine and when they sent her back made it england debut he treated saying if cody scored he would get cody's face tattooed on his leg and this is the result. the captain did of course score against wales and 12,000 lights on twitter later, ashley has proved he has good at his word and he told the bbc that he feels a lot better now and has no regrets about the treat, none at all. i'm not sure i would go through it that. that's it for me, from all of us here have a loving —— that of the evening and i'll see you soon. good night. hello.

all that it this weekend. a lot of crowd around and i will be outbreaks of rain or drizzle from time from time to time. into the night as well. we have seen a few breaks in the crowd today. expected to get increasing crowd overnight. temperature is holding up for the most part. claire spells particularly down to watch parts of wales and southwest england and some spots me have been into single figures as we start the day tomorrow but most of us are well above that. a lot of crowd around. from that crowd some light rain or drizzle. i'm parts of scotland and northern england. but again, a lot of cloud around and from that cloud, yes, some light rain or drizzle continuing at times into the afternoon into parts of scotland and northern england. only very limited breaks in the cloud, so, count yourself lucky if you get to see much in the way of sunshine. and there could be a few heavier showers extending from the channel islands towards parts of cornwall and devon. for the most part, the winds are light, but it is a flow of air
