We discover Kent's most extraordinary island. It is a great | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
world. It is full of bones. Whaler, there will be the bones of people. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
You must make sure that you feel that you can take that. OK, thank | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
you for the warning! The problems on Southern rail caused | :00:21. | :00:30. | |
by the strikes or the franchise? There aren't actually any strikes | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
planned for today at all, so this is, you know, a good day. | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
And football for females over 50. Most of all, I would say, it is | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
going to be exciting and thrilling to walk out onto the pitch and play. | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
I'm Natalie Graham McDowell installed Tories I'm Natalie Graham, | :00:53. | :01:02. | |
with untold stories closer to home. This is all inside out. | :01:03. | :01:15. | |
Hello and welcome to the programme, which this week comes to you from | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
the Isle of Sheppey. We start tonight with an extraordinary story, | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
one which could come from the pages of a Gothic horror novel. In this | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
part of Kent, if you speak to certain people, you will hear tales | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
of a mysterious island nearby. Stories which will send a shiver | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
down your spine. But could those stories possibly be true? Some | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
people may find parts of this film disturbing. | :01:45. | :01:54. | |
I've heard stories about this eerie island off the coast of Sheppey. | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
So I've had to come here for myself to find out whether the truth | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
I'm going to the small harbour town of Queenborough, | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
which sits just across the water from this mysterious island. | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
When I stopped at the hostelry for the night, I was told that | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Others who were curious about the strange tales from the island. | :02:18. | :02:29. | |
They'd heard the story about the hound. | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
Yes, the hound with the red death staring eyes. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
They had heard this story that there were bodies | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
And people said that the hound had eaten the skulls, you see. | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
And they were rowing away into the darkness and the fog. | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
And they suddenly hear the sound and they look, | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
Scarpered? Scarpered! | :02:59. | :03:08. | |
This talk of supernatural devil dogs is obviously just myth. | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
But at the end of the day, can you disprove it? | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
But there is a more serious claim about the island. | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
That it is littered with human remains. | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
You want to make sure you are up to it. | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
It is a graveyard, it is full of bones. | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
Where you look will be bones of people who actually lived. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
And because it's a bone yard, it will have an atmosphere. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
You must make sure that you feel that you can take that. | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
An island solely populated by the dead. | :03:53. | :04:04. | |
Its story seems to have been handed down from generation to generation. | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
And the name of this macabre place is Deadman's Island. | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
The locals were keen to prove there was more | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
So keen that the very next morning, the Queenborough rowing | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
club agreed to take me to Deadman's Island themselves. | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
The island is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, | :04:31. | :04:41. | |
It's out of bounds for visitors due to the birds that make | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
it their home at certain times of the year. | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
But we've received permission for a special visit. | :04:49. | :05:15. | |
I've arrived at Deadman's Island at what's known | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
What I saw will stay with me forever. | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
This island was covered with human remains. | :05:25. | :05:35. | |
That's definitely a piece of a coffin. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
And that...there are two bones there. | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
There's the coffin, Natalie, that's just broken away. | :05:41. | :05:50. | |
So you think this has all come from a recent... | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
There's rather a large ? it looks like it could be | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
A thigh bone and are they some ribs there? | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
I hadn't seen everything this island had to offer just yet. | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
So here we have, clearly, two pairs of human legs in a wooden box, | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
and the rest of the bodies could be under this mud. | :06:16. | :06:26. | |
It's exactly what they said we'd find, | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
human remains buried 200 years ago now being exposed to the elements | :06:33. | :06:44. | |
as nature takes its course over the mud, and this | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
is a really strange sight, there can't be anywhere, I'd | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Well, over two centuries ago, the waters around here were a very | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
They were home to floating prisons, known as the Prison Hulks. | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
They were dark, they looked pretty forbidding, they were meant to. | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
The Prison Hulks were former warships stripped of their masts, | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
Their gun ports were covered with bars and they were given | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
fitting names, like Justitia, Retribution and Captivity. | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
A lot of crimes carried the death penalty, but as a way | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
of being humane and also to inhabit the colonies, it was decided it | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
would be a good idea to transport convicts. | :07:37. | :07:37. | |
Also, there wasn't much space in prisons, but - | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
and this I think has some effect on the inhabitants | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
of Deadman's Island - you tended to find that if people | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
were not considered healthy enough to take the voyage to Australia, | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
I was going to ask about the kind of crimes | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
There were people who picked pockets, including 10-year-olds, | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
who'd been sentenced to 15 years' transportation for picking | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
So we weren't talking about mass murderers off the cost of Sheppey? | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
These were the people who were suffering from the draconian | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
And when those prisoners died, they were buried in unmarked graves | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
An island which is slowly eroding away. | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
Once you start looking, you start to see what might | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
This bit of mud, for example, is it me or does that | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
I would say that that's a coffin and another next to it that | :08:33. | :08:41. | |
This is where you can see the depth of where they were buried. | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
Yeah, six feet, pretty much, isn't it? | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
They were buried properly and deeply. | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
The major problem really was you had a lot of men together or a lot | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
of boys together and therefore if an epidemic began to occur then | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
it would spread and this was particularly important | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
in the early 1830s when Retribution was here, because there | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
was the cholera epidemic, and I suspect a lot of the people | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
I was joined on my trip by archaeologist Dr Paul Wilkinson, | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
who could help me find out more about these remains. | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
It's a human pelvic bone of a young male and obviously died from some | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
disease ? that's why he's buried here. | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
Can you tell that ? we're surmising because of the circumstances? | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
Yeah, and I can tell by the bone itself. | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
What makes you think that's diseased, the holes in it? | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
Probably the holes in it, but also, this particular island was retained | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
for the people that died of contagious diseases | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
and so the policy was to actually bury them all here so that disease | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
couldn't then erupt through the prison ships | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
Isn't it extraordinary to think that 200 years ago, | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
they were six feet under and now these poor souls are about to be | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
They're about to be exposed to the open air, they're | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
about to have their bones and their skulls washed | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
If there were any skulls, there have been skulls, | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
they will go last and they will roll into the water like footballs. | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
We've certainly seen some of Deadman's Island's secrets, | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
but the longer you spend here looking out across the mud, | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
the more you start thinking about the hundreds of other people | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
lying beneath the surface who will no doubt be exposed | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
over the years to come, and you start wondering as well, | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
what kind of society dumped them all here with no name, | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
It would be more right if there was a proper memorial to these poor | :10:52. | :11:04. | |
souls. These have nothing. They just have an island named | :11:05. | :11:13. | |
after them, Deadman's Island. The tide began to rise faster | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
than expected, so we had to leave. It seemed as if the island | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
didn't want to give up too Well, that was an extraordinary | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
place we visited today. It wasn't quite the way some people | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
described it for me - it wasn't particularly frightening, | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
or didn't seem to be a place For me, it was incredibly | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
still and actually quite magical. And I wonder if those myths | :11:40. | :11:49. | |
and legends that have grown up over the years have done the inhabitants | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
of Deadman's Island a favour, by warning the rest of us away | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
and allowing them to rest in peace. And that is certainly a journey I'll | :11:57. | :12:20. | |
Out... It's in the back of the net Out... It's in the back of the net | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
for the older ladies of Crawley Town. | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
Never thought it was going to be me. Very emotional. A few tears. Never | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
done anything like lead a football team ever. Feeling very, very proud. | :12:33. | :12:41. | |
Now, the strikes as Southern rail have caused passengers nearly a year | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
of misery. So why have they gone on so long? Could it all to one days of | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
paperRachel Royce reports. It's 8am and rush hour in this | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
west Sussex village. Over 750 pupils at St Philip Howard | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
catholic school arrive by train. Over 750 pupils at St Philip Howard | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
Catholic school arrive by train. The school's site was especially | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
chosen because it's close Latecomers can expect a ticking off, | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
but for many pupils, being late is becoming | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
a regular event. OK, make sure tomorrow | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
you're on time. I joined a class of year elevens | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
studying for their GCSES. So, first question is, how | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
many of you get the train to school? How many of you had problems | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
on strike days getting to school? And how many of you have | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
problems getting to school I'm showing a reduction | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
in the quality of my school work, because not only do I arrive | :13:34. | :13:42. | |
five minutes late and have missed some of the lesson, | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
but I might get home, it's been an hour and half, | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
I'm freezing and I'm just not Obviously, people have been focusing | :13:48. | :14:02. | |
on the strikes, and they have caused chaos, but there are -- is there | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
more to the problems at Southern? We're going to be looking | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
at the franchise. Well, I'm glad you asked that, | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
because it's a bit complicated. It used to be that the government | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
owned the railway, They thought that could make it more | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
competitive and cheaper. Different train operating companies | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
competed by a bidding process for the right to operate the trains | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
in different areas. It is sealed by a contract on these | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
of paper. Usually they make their profit by | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
collecting fares from passsengers. If they sell more tickets | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
than expected, then If it sells less tickets, | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
then it makes less they take a risk. When the government decided | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
to offer up the franchise When the government decided | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
to offer up the franchise that included Southern, | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
they knew it would be Thee were problems of congestion | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
in the south est and on top of that, Thee were problems of congestion in | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
the south east and on top of that, there was an upcoming ?6.5 billion | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
upgrade of London Bridge. Imagine you're living in your house | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
and you have it reroofed, new electrics, new plumbing | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
new carpets and have the whole place redecorated while you still live | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
in it and you get a sense of what the railway had | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
to do in London Bridge. While all this was going on, | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
it would make it very difficult to attract a railway operator | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
who was looking for a profit. So the government decided not | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
to offer a normal franchise. Instead, they offered | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
a different deal, and it went to Govia ThamesLink railway, | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
the parent company of Southern. Instead of Govia getting the fares | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
from the passengers, the government gets the fares | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
from the pasengers and the government pays | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
Govia to run the service, so the difference this makes is, | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
unlike normal franchises, Govia isn't taking the risk of not | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
selling enough tickets. Regardless of how much money comes | :15:46. | :16:01. | |
in, Southern would be paid the same 3% margin, or somewhere around | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
there, regardless. So all Southern had to do with it | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
their defined targets, and they would get their money. But their | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
train service became the worst performing in the country, and that | :16:12. | :16:12. | |
was before the strikes even started. It's been a nightmare year | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
for commuters, and there have been calls for Govia to be stripped | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
of its franchise. David Boyle is a journalist | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
and blogger who ha a written a book They need to get the new | :16:23. | :16:32. | |
franchising. They have obviously failed, and need someone else. | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
The Department for Transport told us it has no plans to strip | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
The strikes came about because Southern is introducing | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
driver-only operated doors on trains, a job that is usually | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
done by conductors. The change has upset the unions. | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
The strikes have been going on since April. | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
Miss, why is the strike going on so long? | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
Well, there's probably more than one reason but some say that special | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
franchise we talked about is one of the main reasons | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
That's because the company gets paid whether the trains run or not. | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
Some people say this has now become a battle not just between the unions | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
on one side and the train operating company on the other, | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
but say the government is involved, because basically, | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
But Nigel says it's not Southern who's forced this battle | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
The introduction of driver-operated-only doors | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
was insisted upon by the government as part of the franchise | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
because they wanted to modernise the railways. | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
This has not been a desire by Southern, who stood up | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
one morning and said, "I know, let's introduce driver | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
"operation and drive it through regardless because we'll | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
that and that's what the trains with government that they had to do | :17:37. | :17:45. | |
It was a term of the contract with government that they had to do this. | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
Every day for many months at Barnham station, there has been huge | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
uncertainly ? will trains be delayed or even cancelled? | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
There aren't actually any strikes planned for today, so this is a good | :17:55. | :18:07. | |
day. She doesn't like sending me | :18:08. | :18:08. | |
on my own and she gets a bit The fact that | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
driver-only-operated doors was a clause in the franchise | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
agreement is not a secret. But it doesn't seem | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
to be widely known. The government has not been straight | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
about the fact it is involved, because it's a concession which | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
it drew up and signed with Southern, who are trying | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
to meet their requirements. We asked the Department | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
for Transport whether the special franchise has played its part | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
in prolonging the strike. To the pupils and staff here, | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
the politics don't matter. What counts is getting | :18:43. | :18:54. | |
the trains back on track. I don't really mind what the outcome | :18:55. | :19:07. | |
is any more. They just have to sort it out. They | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
are both being stubborn. They are acting like schoolchildren. | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
Rachel Royce reporting. As you get older, you tend to get fewer chances | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
to take part in competitive sport, but over in Crawley, one group of | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
women have not let their age or their gender stop them. | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
A lot of women like to go to Zumba, they like to do dance classes, | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
The ideal thing for me is to have a kickabout. | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
I've spent a lot of time on the side line supporting my husband, | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
supporting my son, supporting my daughter, never had the chance | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
myself ? but now it's my time, my time to play football. | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
I think it was never thought of us older women doing football. | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
I'm 57, it's something that I would positively encourage. | :20:02. | :20:20. | |
Carol Bates has been a long-time fan of Crawley Town Football Club. | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
One day she saw a tweet from the club's community foundation. | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
They were encouraging female footballers to get involved | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
The tweet had a hashtag, #ThisGirlCan. | :20:31. | :20:40. | |
I thought, OK, this girl can, let me try. | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
So I asked what the maximum age was and they said 25. | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
Which meant that Carol was 23 years too old to play. | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
But instead of leaving it there and going back to the ironing, | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
I was a bit disappointed, put one of those emoji sad faces | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
and said maybe I can start a group myself. | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
Crawley Town Football Club agreed to help if Carol could find | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
other women like herself who would take part. | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
So she put the word round that there would be a new group at Crawley | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
for women over 25... Well over 25. | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
Carol got some funding from the English Football League Trust | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
And they called themselves... The Crawley Old Girls. | :21:27. | :21:36. | |
When we first started, there were 10 of us and it really was... | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
We couldn't kick a ball, and then as the weeks progressed, | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
other people heard about it, more people came, so a year down | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
the line, it's slightly different, in that we're not just coming | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
for a bit of fun, we're actually learning things and we're | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
Crawley Town became the first football league club | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
And teaching them to play football is their head coach Marcus Doyle. | :22:00. | :22:09. | |
They won't mind me saying so, they were quite daunted | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
They'd just come along to have a kick around, really, | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
and I noticed initially there were within this group | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
of sort of mad women, there was the potential to see some | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
talent there and after a couple of weeks, we sort of ratcheted it up | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
a little bit and started to take it a little bit more seriously. | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
You have got the talent and the quality. Drive into that space. We | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
know we have got the touch. Today, women's football | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
is a massively growing sport. And it's not uncommon to see | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
young girls playing the game. But when the Crawley Old Girls | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
were young girls, they missed out. I'm of a generation that | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
missed out on playing football. And to actually get the chance | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
to pull on a shirt, go out there, kick a ball around is the best thing | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
that's happened to me, best thing. And now it's their head coach | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
Marcus Doyle who is facing the challenge of bringing the lost | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
generation up to scratch. Do that one for about six or seven | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
seconds. Come on, reset! I don't want to say too much | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
about him because his head might get But since he's come along, | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
he has changed us all. He believes in us, he calls us | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
footballers, you are not just, you know, just women playing | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
football, you are footballers is what he keeps telling us, | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
believe in yourself, Don't say too much, cos he will, | :23:36. | :23:37. | |
he'll get too big-headed. In just under a week's time, | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
the Crawley Old Girls face their local rivals | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
the Lewes Ladies Veterans. OK, so you will be getting changed | :23:45. | :23:55. | |
in the first team changing room, all right? The first-team will not be in | :23:56. | :23:56. | |
there! It will be their first match | :23:57. | :23:57. | |
at the Checkatrade Stadium, the home of Crawley Town | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
Football Club. To walk out of that tunnel tonight | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
with my Crawley shirt on, it's just going to be | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
a dream come true. It's the last training session | :24:08. | :24:09. | |
before the big game, and Marcus is about to announce | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
the team's new captain. Yeah, shocked to start with, | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
very emotional, a few tears, never done anything like lead | :24:16. | :24:28. | |
a football team ever. Once you get them into that | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
competitive situation, We will meet at the players' | :24:35. | :24:51. | |
entrance. Meet there, OK? Tee where is the players' entrance? | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
Once you get them into that competitive situation, | :24:54. | :24:55. | |
they want to come along and they want to have fun | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
and want to enjoy themselves, have a little bit of a giggle | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
and what-have-you, but they want to win. | :25:02. | :25:02. | |
I don't see them then as women who have come along for a laugh, | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
I see them as players that want to win a match. | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
Some of the team take the training for the big match very seriously, | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
as the rest discovered when they met up for lunch to discuss some | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
Me and my friend Sandra popped in for our daily bacon sandwich. | :25:19. | :25:30. | |
Hello! Hello! You all right? Three Bacon signees, please. No. | :25:31. | :25:40. | |
Jane, who's our captain, refused to serve us | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
It wasn't a very healthy lunch, they wanted a bacon sandwich | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
and I refused them purely because we've got a very | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
And then Dermot, the manager of Crawley Town, walks in, | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
Can I have a bacon sandwich, please? There you go. | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
..sidles past us and gets himself a bacon sandwich. | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
A little bit disappointed, I must say, but then, | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
Jane's got our interests at heart, I suppose. | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
Last time these two teams met, Lewes won. | :26:14. | :26:23. | |
So how do the COGs feel about tonight's Sussex derby? | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
We will obviously be going out to win, but it's | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
It's about camaraderie at this age, but there's still a little bit | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
To put that Crawley Town shirt on and go out, | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
us COGs all together, is an absolutely fantastic feeling. | :26:43. | :26:44. | |
I think there's going to be a bit of anxiety, but most of all, | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
I would say it is going to be excitement and thrilling to walk out | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
I'm incredibly proud of what they've achieved. | :26:52. | :27:02. | |
The game flies by and there are goals aplenty. | :27:03. | :27:14. | |
So how did the COGS do in their big derby match? | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
The final score was Crawley Old Girls, 1, | :27:19. | :27:20. | |
Lewes Ladies Veterans... 4. | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
But after such a crushing defeat, the mood is still high. | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
Good stuff, well done. Go and have a glass of wine. | :27:33. | :27:35. | |
I don't even care, the fact that all these women are playing | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
Brilliant, I couldn't ask any more of our girls. | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
Win, lose or draw as a COG, we're a team, we're a family, | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
we enjoy it, it's the best thing we ever do, and I don't | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
And it isn't just for young women either. | :27:51. | :27:59. | |
Brilliant! Where do I sign? Now, for more information about the | :28:00. | :28:22. | |

family. Someone now needs to step up and take ownership of this, and say, | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
I'm really sorry it's gone wrong, but we will sort it out. | :28:43. | :28:46. | |
And why winter is a great time to find your way around the | :28:47. | :28:49. | |
countryside. Winter is actually quite a fun time | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
to do it. There are fewer leaves on the trees, so we can look at things | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
we can see in summer. That's it for tonight from us. Thank | :28:57. | :28:59. | |
