January Sports Diary

There’s no time for hangovers as the Australian Open starts the sporting year with a bang. The world’s top players head to the furnace like courts of Melbourne to contest one of the toughest tournaments in tennis.

It’s summer time in the Southern Hemisphere which means the world’s favourite summer sport is packed with fixtures. The Australian, South African and New Zealand cricket teams are always active in January, with a selection of one day international, test and twenty20 cricket on offer.

Football fans can look forward to the 3rd and 4th rounds of the FA Cup. At this stage of proceedings games get interesting as clubs from the lower divisions attempt to engineer giant killings by sending top Premiership teams packing.
