What's Up In Sports?

          In my entry today, I will share with you some updates on the world of sports. Nowadays, sports world has so  many exciting events going on here and there. Let us try to know what are some of the latest inspiring events in sports.

          In the world of Australian football, the famous AFL (Australian Football League),  the Melbourne Demons will face Greater Western Sydney in a game which will be held at the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) on Sunday. Earlier this year, they have emerged triumphant over teams such as Essendon, Richmond, Carlton, and Adelaide. Meanwhile Geelong Cats made a masterful triumph over Carlton at Docklands. This indeed became a much needed preparation for them for their next game against Hawthorn which for many is considered to be a blockbuster encounter.

          And as of this date, the top teams at the ladderboard for AFl are the following: Geelong with 16-0 standings, Hawthorn 15-0, Sydney 15-0, Freemantle 13-0, Fort Adelaide 12-0. These are the best performing teams so far in the AFL standings.

          Meanwhile in golf, Bradley Dredge of Wales, presently the first round co-leader in the Danish Open Golf, is sitting eight under par at the halfway mark. This tournament is the national open golf tournament of Denmark. And Fijian former world number 1 ranked Vijay Singh is promising to make a comeback after a few so-so performance in the tournaments that he had participated in. When he was at the prime of his sports, he coveted major awards in winning three majors thus making him world number ranked player for 32 consecutive weeks and these were on the years 2004 and 2005.
