16/08/2014 Saturday Sportsday

Hello and welcome to the BBC Sport Centre.

I'm Karthi Gnanasegaram. Welcome to a new series of

Saturday Sportsday. Coming up on this week's programme:

A fourth final for England at the Women's Rugby World Cup.

Can they take the title for the first time in 20 years?

We meet the Blade Babe who's more than just a catchy nickname

and aims to prove it at the IPC European Athletics Championships.

And with the FA Cup back on the BBC, we take a look at the first steps

to Wembley for the minnows, as we go from 368 teams to one winner.

First, let's take a look at some of today's sporting headlines.

Two-time Major winner Andy Murray is out of the Cincinatti Masters.

He was beaten in straight sets by Roger Federer in the quarter finals.

100 and counting for Team GB. Adam Gemili's victory in the 200m

in Zurich marks a century of medals in the European Championships.

And the Premier League starts today. Louis Van Gaal plans to make

a winning start as Manchester United manager in

the early kick off against Swansea. Let's go to the Oval,

where England continue to dominate India in the fifth and final Test.

They resumed this morning on 62 without loss

but promptly lost an early wicket. England had bowled India out

for just 148 on day one. Joe Wilson has the latest.

There are low floodlights on, certainly not the conditions we saw

on Friday. England could imagine themselves 200 runs ahead by the

close, but amongst team progress, there are always individual issues.

Sam Robson clean bowled in the second over of the day, rather stuck

in the crease, but by the time the next Test series starts in the

spring, an alternative candidate may have emerged. England could do with

some acceleration at the top of the order, maybe Alex Hales could

provide it. As per this order, maybe Alex Hales could

provide it. As per this series and this match, all of the questions

remain India's to answer. Joe Wilson has the latest.

The BBC Sport website will have updates of that match, as well

as live commentary of the final day of England's

Women's Test against India. England's women's cricketers are now

full-time professionals - not so for the national women's

Rugby Union side. Well, despite most of them having to

take unpaid leave from work, they are into the World Cup Final.

They last won it 20 years ago. Sara Orchard reports from France.

This is Talinka, an unlikely mascot adopted by England's women

at their Paris training camp. This is a pet whilst we're away

home, so we bought the dogs some treats and a brush.

A happy distraction for a team under increasing pressure.

England's women are heading into a fourth consecutive World Cup final.

With no trophy their name, they are refusing to talk of winning.

No, it is definitely all about the process.

As soon as you start thinking about lifting cups, that is

when you fall over, to be honest. We have worked so hard,

the management, the staff, the RFU, and it would make a massive

difference for us come Sunday night. The Stade Jean-Bouin is sold out

for Sunday's final, and whilst tournament organisers might quietly

bemoan the fact that host nation France never made it through to the

showpiece final, they are thrilled with the tournament's impact.

It has been a phenomenal tournament so far.

We want to develop women's rugby. Back in Canada, it's been amazing

and so hopefully it keeps going. This is the Canadians' first final ,

but England will have little time for their opponents' achievements .

Having last lifted the trophy in '94, maybe woman's best friend

will bring them the luck they need to end their 20-year wait.

Team GB are near the top of the European Athletics

Championships in Zurich and a similar result is hoped for in

Swansea at the IPC Championships, which get underway next week.

But the likes of Paralympic champion Marlou van Rhine of the Netherlands

will be out to stop them. Our reporter Jamie Broughton went to

meet the Dutch sprinting sensation. You do have to train a lot, and I

think you can only train that much if you have fun. And if you have the

feeling that you can win. 42, it is a love of running fast and setting

new world records that has seen her become one of the rising stars in

Paralympic sport -- 42. She lives in Amsterdam but trained near our name.

-- near our name. After starting as a swimming, it was the head of the

Dutch Paralympics team that spotted her potential as a

Dutch Paralympics team that spotted her potential sprinter and he

believes she has the psychological edge over her rivals. When you win a

lot and put them fast times, the others are intimidated. It is like

Usain Bolt, you can't beat Usain Bolt but it is difficult, because he

is Usain Bolt. You have to be really good. Running on carbon fibre blades

makes the Dutch star standout on the track and she has long been known as

the Blade Babe. There are two types of people, one that they get it is a

joke and it is a compliment and the other ones think it is not

politically correct, because you are a girl and you don't have to be

judged how you look. I think that is true as well, but I do think that

when people look at me, they look at my athletic abilities and the name

is just for fun. There is now even an app so fans can follow her

progress on their mobile phones and tablet devices. It has been a good

season for Marlou van Rhine, who won this race in Manchester and then

followed it by breaking the 400m world record in Zurich. May she is

looking to win the 100m and 200m at the European Championships, having

done the double last year in Lyon. I am hoping for a great race, I hope

everyone steps up their game and we make a fun race out of it.

meet the Dutch sprinting sensation. It's a bit longer to wait

for the 2015 FA Cup Final. 284 days, to be precise.

But for many lower league clubs, the competition starts this weekend,

with the Extra Premliminary round. Glossop North End are among those in

action, and as Patrick Gearey found out, they have plenty of history.

Glossop, 150 miles from Wembley, further still from football's

elite. But once, this part of Derbyshire was right in the heart of

the English game. Glossop can feel like a long way from anywhere but a

century ago, these hills would have been teeming with Mills. One of the

mill owners was in charge of the local football club and they spent

their way to the top. Armed with the cash from his cotton mills, Samuel

Hill would help Glossop reach the regional FA Cup quarterfinal and the

first division, the smallest town to ever have a team at the top level.

After the wars, the mills closed and he headed south, where he put his

money into Arsenal. Generations of Gunners and his family went on to

dominate football while Glossop went further down. And ahead of a game of

AFC Blackpool, cup dreams are realistic. We know it is not

something we are going to win, but it is something we can hope to get a

good gate in four and go out and enjoy it. The further we go in the

competition, the more money for the club and hopefully we can draw a

good side from a good level and, you know, have an opportunity to maybe

come in front of the cameras at some point, which would be nice. With a

grand to maintain and improve, cash is important. Glossop one of the 368

teams in the extra preliminary round. Each winning team will pick

up ?1500, and if they win two more, it will and then ?6,000 at least.

But it is more a -- about more than finance. It is always enjoyable to

have an exciting game and just be involved in the cup, in the history

of the world's greatest cup competition is fantastic. Samuel

Hill would way have moved away when the mills close but his resting

place is in a Glossop churchyard. Doubtless, Arsenal's FA Cup triumph

would have given him great joy but this weekend, perhaps he is watching

over his first football love. The FA Cup returns as does the

Premier League, Manchester United and Swansea is still 0-0 at Old

Trafford. There is commentary on Radio 5Live. That is it from

Saturday Sportsday, goodbye.
