— i'mjane dougall. top of the table for the new year after trouncing saracens, it's a great day for bath's premiership title hopes. ryanjoyce comes through a third round thriller to make it into the last 16 at the pdc world championship. and we hearfrom unsung hero award winner adam kenyon on the archery club that helps its members beyond the sport. welcome to the programme. it's been a busy day in rugby union, with a stunning performance from bath at the rec. they put 10 tries past saracens to open up a five point gap at the top of the table. the 68 points to 10 victory underlined their credentials as title contenders at the halfway point of the campaign. patrick gearey has this report.

the drum roll has been running for more than 28 years at bath, it's been that long since this famous club or england's champions. now they are the team to be stopped. saracens could only do it illegally, deliberately knocking the ball out. penalty try. they went from that errant hand to a hard shoulder, the contact with the head meant read for toby knight and effectively ended the contest because now bath were rampant. finn russell conducting, others scoring. the extra man, the extra space made to count, by half—time they have the bonus point effectively out of sight. fittingly for the time of year, this was now about the leftovers, bath picking off saracens who had been forth whenever they felt hungry enough. a run—in a hat trick and bath

gorged on an incredible ten tries, believe the hype. 2025 might finally be there year. patrick geary, bbc news. elsewhere in the premiership, northampton saints ran in nine tries as they comfortably beat newcastle 61—nil. the home side tookjust14 minutes to secure the bonus point when some quick thinking saw alex mitchell go over. rory hutchinson put the bow on the victory as he ran from inside his own half to complete the rout. the result temporarily moved northampton up to seventh, ahead of harlequins. and as things stand, that's where they will stay, as harlequins trail leicester tigers in the annual �*big game�* at twickenham. freddie steward's second half try nudged the visitors in—front but a marcus smith penalty has made the score 27—all, as it approaches the closing stages. before the men's game, harlequins ran in eight tries to move top of the women's premiership with a commanding 112—17 win over leicester tigers at twickenham.

and in doing so, they earned a crucial bonus point in the process. ellie kildinne scored two of the tries — this was her second, showing why she was named world rugby women's 15s player of the year last month. edinburgh bounced back from their defeat to rivals glasgow warriors last weekend to win ten points to seven in the united rugby championship. in a tight game in front of 40,000 fans at at murrayfield, edinburgh led 3—0 until glasgow were awarded a penalty try with the game an hour old. edinburgh fought back and pierre skooman�*s converted score gave them victory on the day. glasgow though retain the 1872 cup after finishing ahead with the scores from the two matches combined. ulster travel to connacht in the late game, which has just kicked off. darts now and luke littler is back in third round action at the pdc world championship this evening, he takes on compatriot ian white, while the three time world champion michael van gerwen

also takes to the stage at alexandra palace. 12th seed nathan aspinall was one of the three players to progress in the afternoon session. earlier our reporter james gregg spoke to sarah mulkerrins with an update. it was a cracking afternoon session, it started off with a bit of an upset. ryanjoyce, knocking out the 16th seed now here with the final set, 11—3 in the end from the furthest he's ever been at the world start championship. ——the furthest he's ever been at the world darts championship. just after the outcome of the german knocking out a semi finalist here in scotland, that was a 4—1 win, really comfortable for the berlin boy, nathan aspinall, perhaps the worst anybody�*s ever played here to win 4—0. he doesn't care, it sets him up with the meeting in the last 16. it's interesting because

there's so much increased attention on this event and the sport of darts because of the youngster, luke littler, we are going to see him in action this evening. after the first appearance from him this season all the emotions came out of the end. you just wonder if he's feeling his way into this tournament and whether we might see a little bit of more composed luke later tonight. i've made this point many times over the course of the last 10—11 days. all eyes are on him now. he's the favourite with pretty much every bookmaker, he is the poster boy, his face is literally everywhere, from programmes to the beer cups, everything. his life has changed, darts has changed and it's a different feeling. he did really well to keep a lid on all of that for his second round match as it was, where hejust seemed to block all of that out, being on the red carpet for sports personality of the year and i think the emotion did get to him

a little bit, but now i think he's got over that first hurdle, back in the palace, yes he can do it, yes he can perform and notjust perform 0k, perform amazingly well. so i think tonight will be a lot more comfortable and feeling a bit more at home as the favourite and all eyes are on him. we obviously had luke humphreys last night getting through to the next round, but there is a lot of strong competition for luke littler and he will be in action for the three—time champion. up against brendan dolan, bit of a crowd favourites, but kind of put the two luke's in their own stratosphere, their own category, really difficult as we get into the later stages, that's when it such a good performance, such high scores, and then let's not forget, three—time winner here,

two or three years ago, a headliner, even 12 months ago, but he is going to be really difficult man to beat. everybody is talking about the two luke's. eyes on a certain dutchman, though. australia remain in charge of the fourth test in melboune, but india have hope, thanks to a superb first test century from nitish kumar reddy. playing only his fourth test match, the 21 year old hit an unbeaten 105 to drag his side from 191—6 to 358—9 at the close of play. you can see what it meant to his dad here. bad light and rain arrived soon after to end play, with india 116 runs behind going into day four — but they have hope of at least a draw thanks to reddy�*s hundred. the series is currently tied at 1 all. south africa will begin the fourth day of the first test against pakistan at centurion needing 121 more runs to win with 7 wickets remaining. aiden markram and skipper

temba bavuma will return to the crease with their side 27-3. nick kyrgios says the high—profile doping cases involving grand slam winners jannik sinner and iga swiatek are "disgusting" for tennis. the australian was speaking ahead of his return to competitive action at the brisbane international. italian men's world number one sinner still faces the threat of a possible suspension after he twice tested positive for an anabolic steroid in march. swiatek served a one—month suspension after testing positive for a banned heart medication in august. ijust think that it has been handled horrifically in our sport and two world number one is getting doped for doping is

disgusting for our sport. it is a horrible look. tennis integrity right now, nobody was to speak about it, it is actually awful. and it is not ok. i know that people don't like when i speak out about things and be honest about things, but as a kid that grew up playing tennis it is ridiculous in my opinion. i'm not going to shut about it anyway. both sinner and swiatek deny that they knowingly cheated or took performance enhancing drugs. there's no premier league football today but for champions manchester city the pressure to rediscover their form is mounting. after dropping more points on boxing day, pep guardiola's team face leicester away tomorrow. city are now in seventh — a massive 1a points

behind leaders liverpool. it might not be easy to fix it, it will take time, i will not give up. ijust try it will take time, i will not give up. i just try to it will take time, i will not give up. ijust try to be as calm as possible to try to read what is the situation. what we are doing for one game to the next to make it better. it has been difficult to try to get results, the players will do it. liverpool could be nine points clear at the top with victory at west ham tomorrow. the merseysiders are still the only side with an unbeaten away record in the premier league. if you work in a big club like liverpool, there is always pressure. i think last season, halfway through the season, weren't they also number one? i think they were last season. it's not so strange for a club like us to be on top of the league, but we know how many good teams there

are in this league, they are able to win almost every game as well. now to one of the bbc sports personality of the year unsung hero award winners. in 2008 adam kenyon set up an archery club in sittingbourne with the aim of giving young people something to be proud of and improve their confidence. now, there are more than 80 members of all ages, including both able—bodied and disabled athletes selected for team gb. james dunn went to meet him. when we started up, it was an archery club. the more we got into it, the more developed. it became about the growth of the individual shooting as we've gone over the years, they've changed in their ability to deal with communication, authority, dealing with adults has changed, so the club has grown because we now work

the whole person not just the sport. archery has offered opportunity to many of the members here. i've been to switzerland, luxembourg, croatia, more competitions in canada and bulgaria next year hopefully. team gb aiming for the olympics in 2032. he's taught him much more than how to shoot. when i very first started, i had very low self—esteem, embraces all of that. it makes a welcoming environment for us to come and shoot. sh was a student here but she thought archery was out of reach for her. she almost went to the paralympics. i grew up in quite a sporty family, but never quite found a sport that i could fully participate in and enjoy. i don't have a hand, so this was a cast of my arm and it was designed and made on a 3d printer for me. adam, bless him, gave up his christmas holidays when you're to come up with this design and i thank

adam every day that i shoot because it really has changed my life. he is always here, come rain or shine, his commitment. is tangible, and what's also i clear is the effect and impact that he has on other people. i've seen that over- quite a number of years. just to be nominated was what mattered. and the nomination in itself for me made me feel worth a million. i would do it again and i will do it every day, and we will make a difference. whether it's elite archers or those picking up a bow for the first time, adam �*s teaching everyone here to aim high. so well deserved, congratulations to adam. and finally, world chess number one magnus carlsen has quit

a major tournament in new york after a row over his jeans. the grandmaster was defending his titles at the fide world rapid and blitz chess championships when officials objected to his choice of trousers. despite offering to change them for the next day, carlsen was fined and told he needed to change immediately. instead he decided to pull out of the tournaments altogether. the norwegian also hit the headlines last year when he settled a long—running legal dispute after accusing a rival of cheating in a tournament. a reminder of our top story before we go. bath put 10 tries past saracens to open up a five point gap at the top of the table. the 68 points to 10 victory helps with their bid to be title contenders at the halfway point of the campaign.
