Korfball. Parties All The Time. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sport number twelve takes us to visit Sheffield City Korfball Club for their summer tournament where we discover what a fast and fun sport this is. We turned up with no idea of the rules, so naturally we tried to figure it out ourselves.

Hear why parties aren't as good as they sound, what a korf actually is and why so many people start playing at university. Another new sport discove
Hovercraft Racing - Madness On The Water (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To Rother Valley this time for the fun, fast and totally mental sport of hovercraft racing.

Sheffield Giants American Football - Touchdowns and Tailgate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sport number nine takes us to American football with the Sheffield Giants and we were very pleasantly surprised. We weren't sure what to expect but we were blown away by the standard of action on the field and came away wondering why more people aren't coming down to watch this action packed sport. We continued our Sporty Forty tradition as the Sheffield team won again. And as if that wasn't enough we got great coffee, even better cookies and loads of friendly chat and insight from Tailgate Coff
