It's All Set to Be an Amazing Year of Sport!

23/3/2016

1 Comment

 
It's Easter in three days, the clocks are about to go forward and *fingers crossed* spring is surely just around the corner, which all means that the cricket season can't be far behind. With all our serviced apartments within walking distance of Trent Bridge Cricket Ground and both local football clubs, Notts County and Nottingham Forest, we often have guests staying with us who are into their sport.

As well as what's happening in West Bridgford, it's a really exciting year for sport with Euro16 and the Olympics and Paralympics, so we thought it would be useful to put a sporting calendar together.

So here is our handy guide to the sporting highlights of 2016:

Cricket

Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club, West Bridgford, NG2 6AJ
Starting with a 2-day friendly against local rivals, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire's first XI have got an exciting season up until September, so too have the second XI and Academy teams. Here's the full fixtures list for 2016 for real cricket fans.

If you prefer the shorter form (like me), here are Notts County's upcoming T20 matches at home (which are perfect to take clients to or just for a really fun day out):

May 20th: Notts Outlaws vs. Birmingham Bears
June 4th: Notts Outlaws vs. Lancashire
July 1st: Notts Outlaws vs. Durham Jets
July 9th: Notts Outlaws vs. Worcestershire Rapids
July 15th: Notts Outlaws vs. Yorkshire Vikings
July 29th: Notts Outlaws vs. Leicestershire Foxes

You can book tickets for all of their matches here.

Football
Nottingham Forest FC, The City Ground, Nottingham, NG2 5FJ
Kicking off (thanks) on April 2nd, Nottingham Forest are playing Brentford in the Sky Bet Championship. Their last home game is on April 30th against Wolves, and their last of the season is on May 7th against Milton Keynes.

Here's their fixtures list for the whole season and you can buy your tickets here.

Notts County FC, Meadow Lane, Nottingham, NG2 3HJ
Notts County's next game is on March 28th at home against Wycombe in the Sky Bet League 2, and their final match of the season, on May 7th, is at home against Carlisle.

Here is their season's fixtures list and you can get your tickets on their tickets page.

This shows you how close to the centre of West Bridgford the football clubs & cricket ground are
There are some other pretty big sporting events happening this year, which are worth a mention...
  • Grand National: April 9th – Aintree
  • London Marathon: April 24th
  • Tour de Yorkshire: April 29th - May 1st
  • Invictus Games: May 8th - 12th – Orlando, Florida
  • FA Cup Final: May 21st
  • Euro 2016: June 10th - July 10th – France
  • Wimbledon : June 27th - July 10th
  • Tour de France: July 2nd - 10th
  • British Grand Prix: July 10th – Silverstone
  • Olympics: August 5th - 21st – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
  • Paralympics: August 7th - 18th – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

It looks set to be a fantastic year of sport! I'm most excited about watching the Olympics/Paralympics and I'm hoping to get along to at least one T20 match this year, they're so much fun. What are you looking forward to watching/attending? Let me know below.

And if you'll be visiting Nottingham to see any of the local action and would like to stay in luxury, fully-serviced accommodation while you're here please get in touch.
