Speaker 1 (00:00):
Libby's been hard at work because she's got the weekend
sports review for us. It's been a crack of a
weekend in the NPC. On Friday, Hawks Bay took out
North And fifty five points to thirty to retain the
ramfory sheld in a game of more than a point
a minute rugby at McClain Park. It's a good game too.
Tasman wallat County's Monacal, going three from three with a
forty eight points to three win on Saturday and Auckland

(00:21):
while they kept win lists by Canbury at Eden Park yesterday,
though North Harbor took out their first win of the season.
Stevenson Tisa and to touch and Harbor win on their
home patch out they pulled away to forty three to
twenty nine, went over Whitekatou and Albany with wing cade
Banks putting down for a four try haul and Wellington's

(00:43):
lines managed to pull out two tries in the last
fifteen minutes of the game to overcome one or two
thirty nine points to thirty one. Wellington veteran Jullian Severe
told sky Sport they went surprised what the turbos brought
to Jerry Collins stadium. We knew one or two always
brings down again against us and that's what it was,
was the battle of sort of grinding down. Wait ti

(01:03):
the final minute and you know, just part of the
boys that we're able to get through that. Yeah. And
in the EPL in Manchester City, Arsenal and Brighton a
top after successive wins in the first two rounds, Earl
Harlan needed a hat trick in City's for one takedown
of Ipswich Town, Arsenal beat Aston Villa to nil, and
Brighton needed a ninety fifth minute winner to edge Manchester

(01:24):
United two to one. Man New United manager eric Ton
Harg wasn't happy with his defenders in Bolve. Goals are
very soft goals. We could see it and as a
team we should have done better, that's for sure. It's
going to be interesting to see how long he hangs
it if they don't get the results. There are also
wins for Tottenham, west Ham, Nottingham Forest and Fulham, and

(01:44):
overnight Chelsea bag their first hat trick of the season
and a thrashing of the wolver Hampton Wolves. The teams
who draw two all before Chelsea Ford Mardicki scored a
wiping three goals in the space of fourteen minutes and
the second half three goals were nearly identical as the
wing of score with low angle shop from inside the
area assisted by Palma on each occasion and in tennis

(02:07):
where not cover. Finally, the six seed Linden Noskova notches
her first WTA title. How Lulu San unfortunately has missed
out on her first title at tennis elite level. The
New Zealander will been outlasted seven six sixty four by
Czech world number thirty five Lindia Noskava in the open

(02:30):
final and while she waits her Moden WTA title maiden
not Moden WTA title, Sun's performance will see her jump
inside the world's top fifty for the first time and
from fifty seventh the forty first ahead of the US Open,
which starts in New York, while her wait for her
maiden WTA title goes. On Sun's performance, we'll see her

(02:50):
jump into the top fifty for the first time. Team
New Zealand Let's Go to the America's Cup has won
the America's Cup preliminary regatta off the coast of Barcelona.
They beat Luna Rossa by thirty four seconds in the final.
The Challenger story starts in four days times where the
teams will contest for the Old Mug. Obviously, yet Tim
MW Zealant won't be part of that. They'll be sitting

(03:12):
there watching and gearing themselves up for the Americas Cup
as such. And over to the Dutch Grand Prix, and
Lando Norris went into race and pole position and confidently
he continued his dominant form. I'm not feeling any pressure.
I'm not feeling any of these things. So now I'm
just trying to do what I know I'm capable of doing.
Work well with the team. The team are doing an
amazing job. We've got some good upgrades here. Everything's flowing well.

(03:33):
Everyone's very motivated and that's what you want from the team. Yeah,
and he did. Lando Narris ended matts for Stappin's unbeaten
home record overnight. The key moment came in the eighteenth lap.
Blando Norris trained to team the lead, touched drawing prix
from the home favorite. He's getting to the Apex first,
He's moving ahead. Yeah, he en. The win was McLaren

(03:53):
drivers second in Formula One career, beating Red Bulls triple
champion by twenty two seconds. It was for Stappen's first
loss Zandfort since the event returned there in twenty twenty one.
Ferrari's Charles Laclerk was third. Ferrari back on the podium
and Indy Cargrom Prex of Portland. There is a shock
pole sitter and it's made for a much welcome bargaining

(04:14):
tool for contract negotiations. Santonio for Aurlchi grabbed I don't know,
I've said that pretty well, grabbed his first ever a
career pole and here he is tooking to Skysport. Hell,
I got some more bargain power for next year. Trust me.
I want to get on that podium so bad and
stand on the top step. Then yeah, road course would
be a way to make it happen. Yeah, they're right

(04:35):
to get up there in your contract negotiations become better.
The key. We didn't quite set things alight in qualifying though.
Marcus Armstrong will start seventh on the grid, Scott Dixon ninth,
and Scott McLaughlin are further back in fourteenth. There we go.
There is today. Well, I'm just scrolling back up to
the top. Actually, that is a wrap of the weekend

(04:56):
sport plus plenty more
