I've pulled together a list of all the sporting events in London with tickets available over the next week, including the football league, County Championship cricket, and rugby league. Which one would you go to? 😎

1. ⚽ Men's football: the Premier League kicks off this weekend, with three London games (Arsenal vs Coventry on Friday, Brentford vs Spurs on Saturday, and Fulham vs Chelsea on Monday), but those all need club membership so they're not really an option for most of us this week. Here are my top 3 picks from the rest of London's football instead.
   • West Ham vs Charlton, Championship, London Stadium, Saturday 22nd August, 3pm. Tickets from £30.
   • AFC Wimbledon vs Reading, League One, Plough Lane, Saturday 22nd August, 3pm. Tickets from £27.
   • Sutton United vs Hartlepool, National League, Gander Green Lane, Saturday 22nd August, 12.30pm. Tickets from £21.
2. 🏏 Cricket: County Championship
   • Surrey vs Nottinghamshire, Thursday 20th to Sunday 23rd August at the Oval. Tickets £15. Surrey are doing their ‘Work From Oval’ scheme so you can take a laptop and grab a desk while watching the game.
   • Middlesex vs Kent, Thursday 20th to Sunday 23rd August at Merchant Taylors' School, Northwood. Tickets £20.
3. 🏉 London Broncos vs Halifax Panthers, Championship, Cherry Red Records Stadium, Sunday 23rd August, 3pm. Tickets from £18.
4. ⚽ Women's football - my top 2 picks below
   • Dulwich Hamlet Women vs Saltdean United Women, FAWNL South East Division One, Champion Hill, Sunday 23rd August, 2pm. Tickets £5.
   • AFC Wimbledon Women vs Dulwich Hamlet Women, London derby, FA Women's National League Cup, Imperial Fields, Wednesday 26th August, 7.45pm. Tickets £8.

One other thing to mention: the ballot for this year's World Darts Championship at Ally Pally in December opens soon too (ballot 1 on 1st September, ballot 2 on 8th September), worth registering if you fancy a shot at tickets since they're not expecting a general sale once it closes.

Let me know what you think of this list! Are you going to something this week? Anything else on your radar? 😊

£5.80 pint of Morreti. Decent
