Welcome back to another Matchside weekly roundup!
Did you know there are 17 pro football clubs in the top 5 leagues based in London? This week we’ve picked out Fulham as they’ve got two home games giving you the perfect opportunity to go and experience Craven Cottage right on the River Thames in South West London. There’s also ice hockey and badminton happening over the next few days.
Tickets have just gone on sale for Middlesex’s T20 Blast games this summer and if you’re into your niche sports, then snap up tickets for the UK Open Pool Championships - the biggest pool competition in the UK! Finally, the Autumn International fixtures at Twickenham have been announced and tickets are going on sale so stay tuned and I’ll let you know when they drop.
