To be fair I watched it and it was pretty dramatic. Whether it was worthy of winning is another conversation.
Netball team was streets ahead of the other candidates.Greatest sporting moment. Women's netball at the the commonwealth games.
Unsung hero Kirsten ewen. Very unsung I've no idea.
Best not say too much more the southern supporters will say I'm been mean

Yes a great sporting moment that nobody watched. Nail biting stufff.
A penalty shoot out win for the England football team that had one of the highest viewing figures ever.
It was a political feminist agenda for the right on bbc.
BBC do put-out perceived 'right-on' things but they guard neo-liberalism in every other outlook.
I think they push certain cultural aspects to mask this and also to meet other criteria. A kind of false generosity if you will.
Well
Viewing figures don’t determine what a ‘moment’ was like.
The netball team scored a ,literally, last second goal, against the favourites, in their version of the World Cup. Thr football team, sadly, won **** all and didn’t even reach the final

It was the Commonwealth Games wasn't it? Their version of the World Cup is their World Cup.
And, dare I say it, it is more of an achievement to reach the semi'final of a competition entered by 200 countries around the world than the final of the Commonwealth Games.
Yeah it was (my lazy paraphrasing)
However, no it wasn’t more of an achievement for the football team.
The netball may as well have been their World cup as all the teams above them in the world rankings, including the Aussies that they beat who are ranked number 1, are in the commonwealth games anyway.
And it was for a ‘sporting moment’ not an achievement anyway...and it was a better moment IMHO
It was a moment, and sport has to be live, that no one saw.
Coincidentally it was on the beeb. Who'd a thunk it.
I saw it live, so that debunks the 'nobody' comment for starters.
I was there at the match. Love Netball and captained my High School team. Also loved other sport at that time being Hockey and Athletics captain.

It's cracker time...
When my girlfriend told me she was pregnant, my whole life changed.
My address, phone number, the name I used.......
An art gallery has refused to exhibit the work of inmates, from the local prison
Apparently, hanging's too good for them
Can't believe I got sacked on my very first day as a signwirter.
When life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.
I cannot stand people who think they're worse off than everybody else. My mate Gerry is brilliant, he had a bad accident where he lost his voice and both legs.
Does he make a song and dance about it, well does he?
I'll tell you what I really hate about my new Thai bride. She keeps leaving the toilet seat up
I got a new job with the Samaritans last week. I tried to phone in sick this morning but they talked me out of it!
If I was a plastic surgeon... I would definitely put a squeaky toy in every breast implant.
I said to my wife over breakfast "Were you faking it last night?" She said "No, I really was asleep!"
After my prostate examination the doctor left, then the nurse came in & whispered three words that no man wants to hear..."Who was that?"
I'm only jingling three quarters of the way this year and honestly it's less work and no one can tell.
