00:04 I'm at the ITTF Para-European Table Tennis Championships, which has been taking place since Monday and run up until Saturday.
00:12 It's quite a sight to behold if you can get down in the next couple of days.
00:15 Lots of action going on, 12 tables, much easier when there's only three or four to keep tabs on,
00:20 but it's something really to enjoy and experience.
00:24 Looking ahead to the sports weekend supplement, we're looking at football.
00:27 We've got a big interview with Clinton Morris in the form of Sheffield Wednesday.

00:40 York City have a new manager, plus we've got news of England as they head to Rocklav to take on the Ukraine in the European qualifiers.
00:47 The big sporting event of the weekend, though, is the Rugby World Cup,
00:50 which kicks off in France on Friday night when the hosts take on New Zealand.
00:54 The big game, though, for England is against Argentina.
00:57 Can Steve Bothwick's men lift themselves from their recurrent malaise against the Pumas?
01:02 Cricket-wise, Chris Waters brings us news of Yorkshire as they head to Glamorgan.
01:07 And it's the start of the ODI series between England and New Zealand.
01:10 The crunch is coming at the bottom of Rugby League Super League.
01:13 Wakefield Trinity host Catalan's Dragons on Friday night.
