    The Wellington Phoenix have endured their fourth straight football defeat, losing 5-nil to Sydney FC at Wollongong in the women's A-League

    The Wellington Phoenix have endured their fourth straight football defeat, losing 5-nil to Sydney FC at Wollongong in the women's A-League


    The Northern Brave remain the team to beat in the men's domestic T20 cricket competition.

    They've notched a six-wicket victory over the Central Stags at Pukekura Park to move six points clear on 18 at the top of the table.

    Captain Jeet Raval hit an unbeaten 66 as the Brave reached their 146-run target with two overs to spare.



    Indian pace bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami have taken three wickets each as the tourists dismissed South Africa for 191 to claim victory by 113 runs on the final day of the first test at Centurion.

    The visitors are aiming to win their first series in the Republic at their eight attempt.



    Ashes match referee and former Australian cricketer David Boon has tested posted for Covid and will miss the fourth test in Sydney next week.

    The "five foot two Tasmanian with the flared pants" will quarantine for 10 days in Melbourne before returning to his role for the fifth test in Hobart starting January 14.

    Sydney-based Steve Bernard replaces him.

    There's minimal disruption to Boon's player comfort level - he's asymptomatic and vaccinated, including a booster.
