Hello everyone,

There will be no ‘The Back Pages’ scheduled tomorrow but it’s all for good causes. Throughout Saturday, Storm FM will be presenting the Varsity Championships as we face Aberystwyth University. It will be a day full of surprises, thrills and spills and I hope you will all come out to support Bangor as I’m sure it will be a fantastic day of sport.

Hello everyone,
Just to let you all know that this Sunday will be the final edition of The Back Pages until September. Thank you so much for your support throughout the year. We’ve enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

To thank you, we are doing a super special show this Sunday seeing it is the final day of the Premiership season. We will be on air from 4pm so Nick, John, Drew and Adam are going to get you updated on all 10 Premiership matches from minute 0 to minute 90. Hope you all can join in with all the sporting debates. This 2-hour special is just a one-off so we hope you tune in between 4-6pm on StormFM

Many thanks,
From all at The Back Pages

Today, Stormfm will be proudly giving you coverage from Aberystwyth of the competition everyone is talking about! John Price and Adam Gardner will be on air throughout the day giving you up-to-date scores of the Varsity Championships.

In 2010, Varsity Championships were in Bangor, and won by Bangor 12-9 and we are hoping for a similar outcome today. 400 competitors took part last year and this year will provide with more action and drama than ever before.

So if you couldn’t be in Aber today, not to worry because Storm comes to the rescue.

The final whistle has blown on Storm FM’s Six Nations Prediction League, we had 8 people invovled in this week’s predictions and special mentions go to John who was top of the leaderboard for this week scoring 3 points, one of two people to correctly predict an Irish victory! (with DJ Onshore being the other person)

Ireland made sure that this was a low scoring week with a shock victory over England, it seems that St Patrick was looking over them on Saturday. No-one got any bonus points this week, our closest predicition being one of John’s saying that France would win by 15 points and they did win, but by 19 points.

So, without further ado here is the final standings of the league meaning that the winner is….

15pts Adam
12pts John
10pts Amy
9pts Nick, Garreth
7pts Dion, James, Drew
6pts Cam, DJ Onshore
3pts Alex
2pts Sam
1pt Darren

So, congratulations to Adam, the winner of Storm FM’s Six Nations Prediction Legaue and he wins…nothing!

Thanks to everyone who took part, I’m sure we’ll be back with the League again next year! Make sure to tune in next week and every week at 4:30pm for The Back Pages!

We have now entered the final week of the Six Nations Prediction League. The competition has been fierce and Adam looks to be running away with it. Seeing Amy not competing the previous week, this gave our co-presenter an opportunity to increase the gap at the top of the leaderboard.

Only five people took part in last week’s prediction league which saw Italy defeated all of the competitors for this league as well as the French 22-21. However, the Welsh beat Ireland controversially 19-13, but Adam has to thank Mike Phillip’s winning try as he said Wales would win by six points. He gets the only bonus point of the week.

Without further ado, here are the current standings with just ONE week to go.
13pts Adam
9pts Amy, John
7pts Drew, Garreth, Nick
6pts Cam, Dion, James
5pts DJ Onshore
3pts Alex
2pts Sam
1pt Darren

Remember, there is ONE week to go so Adam hasn’t quite won it yet. Unless someone gets an prediction absolutely right, you could be on your way to an honourable victory. Here are the fixtures for this crucial weekend of rugby.

Saturday 19th March 2011
2.30pm Scotland v Italy
5pm Ireland v England
7.45pm France v Wales

The deadline for this week’s predictions are this Saturday 2pm, half hour before kick off so make your predictions the most accurate and Adam and Nick will announce the result this Sunday from 4.30pm and the full results will be posted on the blog next week.

Hello everyone,

Hope you’re enjoying the glorious north Wales sunshine. If it’s not sunny wherever you are then… I’ll move on.

Just a message to say that there has been a change to The Back Pages. The show has now been extended to a further 30 minutes so we now start at 4.30pm and finish at 6pm. The idea was for the show to produce more local sport’s outcome so we won’t let you down. The sports show will have more sporting debate than ever before.

Also, today we have Nick Bell replacing Drew Turner until after the Easter break so we welcome him to The Back Pages home.

So remember, 4.30pm is when we’ll be on air from now on. Today we’ll be announcing the leader of week 4 of the Six Nations Prediction League so please don’t miss out.

What an amazing tournament! Loving every minute of it and only two more weeks of action-packed drama to go. Sorry, if Week Three’s result hasn’t come any sooner.

Before we announce the result, we’d like to thank Nick Bell who single handedly did the show for us in all our absence last week. We appreciate it.

Now for week three’s result and it’s hotting up at the top as we have a clear leader. Adam (one of us) correctly said that England would defeat France by eight points. He gets a bonus point, as do Dion (for the England v France match) and DJ Onshore who said Ireland would beat Scotland by three points.

Here’s the table:
10pts Adam
9pts Amy
7pts John, Nick
6pts Cam, Dion, James
5pts Drew, Garreth
3pts Alex, DJ Onshore
2pts Sam
1pt Darren

Week four is officially open and would love to see your predictions. Here are the fixtures:

Saturday 12th March
Italy v France 2.30pm
Wales v Ireland 5pm

Sunday 13th March
England v Scotland 3pm

Predictions close half hour before the first match (i.e.) 12th March 2pm, so don’t miss out on your vote. Things are starting to get a little interesting here and someone has to knock Adam off the top spot. Will someone do so? Listen to The Back Pages this Sunday.
