Football Focus

Racing from Cheltenham
12.30 The Daily Express Triumph Hurdle Race Trial (2m)
1.5 The Bula Hurdle Race (2m)
1.40 The Kennedy Construction Gold Cup (Handicap Steeplechase. 2 1/2 m)
Fred Winter, who won last month's Mackeson Gold Cup with Half Free, goes for a hat-trick of wins in this valuable event following Observe (1982) and Fifty Dollars More (1983).

Ski-ing
from Val d'Isere, France
Men's Downhill
What some men will do to deliver a box of chocolates! Olympic Champion Bill Johnson could get there first, but World Cup Downhill Champion Urs Raeber and Austrian Franz Klammer, a previous winner here, will push him hard. Speculation is that David Vine might be fourth.

Rugby Union
from Murrayfield
Scotland v Australia
The Grand Slammers of Scotland are bound to give the tourists from down under a warm reception - one way or another! Yes, the true test of the Aussies' ability is upon them!
(Organised by the SRU in association with The Royal Bank of Scotland)

Trampolining
from Crystal Palace
The Hermesetas World Cup
There you are, 20ft up, upside down, in the tucked position, and two-and-a-half twists still to do. Second nature to this lot - Sue Shotton, World Ladies' champion, who, with Kirsty Macdonald, is also World Synchro Champion - but the sport does bear a serious health warning to those of vaulting ambition in the upstairs front room.

Motor Racing
from Brands Hatch
The BBC Grandstand Formula Ford 2000 Series
The 'flying featherweights' of formula motor racing are 'go' for the final round of the series, which last time out produced one of the closest finishes ever seen at Brands.
