2025 at @yorkshireccc.bsky.social meant a LOT!

From leading the white-ball Men’s and Women’s broadcasts to sharing the box with so many brilliant people.

So many on-field highlights and a great crew off it!

A special season, professionally and personally - a link to my grandad Ray Valente. ❤️🏏

Ethan Nwaneri is a STAR! This kid can PLAY!

The 18-year-old is a joy to watch, helping England go 5/5 in EURO 2027 qualifying, winning 4-0 in Slovakia.

Grateful to be trusted by the FA on England U21s commentary once again - their EUROS ‘three-peat’ is on!

BAD MEMORIES FOR ARSENAL AT BAYERN… A DIFFERENT STORY TONIGHT? A Pernille Harder hat-trick sunk Arsenal to a 5-2 loss at Bayern, one of the Gunners last games under Jonas Eidevall. Remarkable to think that was just over a year ago, and that under Renee Slegers WON the #UWCL! #football #Arsenal

Young baller 🚨 - SAMUELE INACIO! 🇮🇹

Four goals at this U17s World Cup, this number 10 is a natural playmaker & finisher. Already at German club Borussia Dortmund, a finishing school for top talent, it was a joy to commentate on him in full flow!

📺⚽️🎙️I love the unpredictability of football - 24TH plays 6TH, BATTERS THEM 5-0! 😂

A big win for Peteborough United against Blackpool in a game that genuinely could’ve finished about 6-5 based on the chances created!

YouTube video by FIFA Canada vs Uganda Highlights | FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2025

📺🎙️🇨🇦🇺🇬 Always fun and rare to commentate on history for BOTH teams!

#Canada get their first U17 Men’s #WorldCup win at the TWENTY FIFTH attempt!

The Canadian comeback meant Uganda’s first World Cup game at ANY level ended in heartbreak and a 2-1 loss.

Yep! Vast majority don’t get used but have to be ready for whatever direction the game goes in.

MAGIC MOMENTS…

The Harder hat-trick to thrash Arsenal 5-2 last year.

The Stanway comeback to beat Benfica in 2022.

Maybe me commentating at this ground is the #Bayern good luck charm? 😂

BREAKING - Spurs midfielder Yves Bissouma stretchered off seconds into his competitive return for Mali.

Seems to be a bad ankle injury, leaving Bissouma visibly distressed.

It was his 1st competitive game since the final day of the last #PL season.

CAN MADAGASCAR REACH THE MEN’S WORLD CUP? 😮📺⚽️🎙️

Ranked 108th in the world but a win at Mali, Ghana losing to Comoros, and an 8-goal swing between both would be some Malagasy magic to book their spot!

🎙️⚽️📺 OH LEUVEN FIGHT BACK TO DRAW 2-2 AT PARIS FC!

Great to start my 4th season on the UEFA Women’s Champions League with my 30th commentary on it being a cracker.

So good to see this awesome competition keep growing, curious to see how the change to a league phase goes.

SEMI-FINAL SPOT ON THE LINE, WHO TAKES IT?

Awesome to see English 🏉 having its Lionesses 2022 moment.

Now they MUST capitalise on it with the PWR domestically:

- In the big stadiums

- On TV/streaming to widest possible audience.

- Get 81,885 who watched the final at Twickenham back to see the #RedRoses for their clubs.

YouTube video by Michael McCann Dickie Bird Yorkshire CCC president interview: McCann Meets

Dickie Bird will be badly missed.

I'll never forget at my 1st ever Test @yorkshireccc.bsky.social Dickie stopped to chat with my grandad and I for a good 15 minutes.

Years later I had the honour of interviewing him: youtu.be/LJFNvzgJGmI

He always had time for you, cricket was brighter with him.

🏏 Lancashire are DOUBLE WINNERS!

No trophies in the KSL or regional era, but now County Cup and One Day Cup champs!

Gaby Lewis with a superb 141*, grateful to be on commentary for these magic moments!

Hope you enjoyed the coverage, just glad we got a game in!

Kudos to @glamcricket.bsky.social too, League Two T20 semi-finalists and One Day Cup runners-up, it took a strong Yorkshire side to stop them in both.Lauren Parfitt good with bat and captaincy, run machine Bethan Gammon, Gemma Porter a star of the future, superb spinners etc. #womenscricket #cricket

🚨CHAOTIC 🏆 LIFT ALERT 🤣

@YorkshireCCC.bsky.social deserved winners as common sense helped get a final in vs @glamcricket.bsky.social before lots of rain.

Olivia Thomas deserved POTM after 3-14. Erin Thomas with a season-best 62*, Lauren Winfield-Hill a superb 62.

ETHAN NWANERI - THIS BOY’S A BIT SPECIAL! 

The Arsenal 18-year-old ran the show for the England U21s in my commentary, always satisfying when a player scores a great goal just as you’re talking about how impressive they are!

HIGHLIGHTS: A double hundred and a 4-fer for Glamorgan, and a strong resilience from Northants 🙌

Highlights of the day: commentating on an Asa Tribe double ton, magnificent Mason Crane ripping his leggies and Saif Zaib batting beautifully. As importantly, a class game of tennis ball one-hand one-bounce cricket in the commentary box with the Northants media team at tea! 😁 #cricket #countycricket

Remarkable to see how far #Womensfootball has come in England and great to be part of that journey!

Six years ago all WSL games were live streamed for the first time.

Now Chloe Kelly and co. had 65,000 at a Lionesses victory parade and she starts at a packed Emirates, with all games on BBC/Sky!
