The Mayor of the West Midlands’ intergenerational Cricket Cup has made a return to Edgbaston stadium.

Last year’s match was cancelled due to the pandemic, but the sporting event returned to the County Ground this week.

Former Liverpool and England striker Roger Hunt has died age 83, the Premier League club has announced. He was part of England's 1966 World Cup-winning side and is Liverpool's record league scorer with 244 goals.

The forward won 34 England caps, scoring 18 international goals after making his debut in 1962 when Liverpool were in English football's second tier.

Bechem United FC  and Diaspora Africa Forum in collaboration with Miracle Africa International Foundation is organizing the First Annual Football Tournament in Accra Ghana, hosting prominent football teams and scouts from various countries such as Mali, Togo, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, and France.

In an effort to make an impact in society and to showcase what young Africans have to offer Diaspora African Forum launched the initiative Education through Sport.

It’s one of the most emotive moments of any sporting event and over the past few weeks, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) have been recording the national anthems for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

All 72 anthems were arranged and conducted by Royal Academy of Music professor Philip Sheppard, who specialises in film and television soundtracks.

In order to ensure the 2021 campaign could be completed as safely as possible given the COVID-19 pandemic, the Vitality Netball Super League (VNSL) played out at two centralised venues (Production Park Studio 001 and the Copper Box Arena) thanks to funding from the government’s Winter Sport Survival Package. The majority of matches were played behind closed doors with spectators only permitted into the arenas from Rounds 17/18 onwards.

Warwickshire won their first County Championship since 2012 as they beat Somerset by 118 runs at Edgbaston.

After declaring at 294-3 to set Somerset 273 to win in 79 overs, the Bears bowled out the visitors for 154.
