Fix 'n' Mix: A busy weekend for the Diamond geezers.

I must apologise for the lack of this feature last week, no other reason than all staff required to work on a number of our projects. I know, they had to do their day jobs, bless them. This week will not include Harpenden Rugby, who have the weekend off from league duties. You still will be able to catch a match at Redbourn Lane, as the 1st's have a friendly and the other teams will be playing.  In Basketball, Hull Wasps season ended 2 weeks ago, they finished 5th in the league, just missing out on the play-offs.

We are fast approaching the business end of our 'March to the Arch' campaign.  This weekend, in the F.A.Vase, Coalville take a 3-0 1st leg lead to King's Lynn Town, in the 2nd leg of the Semi Final.  In the F.A.Youth Cup, Aston Villa host Sheffield United in the 2nd leg of their Semi Final.  The blades take a 1-0 lead to the Villa.

In European football, the boys from St Pauli travel to FC Schalke 04 on Friday night.  Kult & Punk had last weekend off, due to internationals, they used their time wisely and both scored personal bests on the 'table top' Space Invaders in Zoe's Bar.  UD Lanzarote hope to continue the impressive push for the title.  They hope to extend their lead in the league, but they have a tough trip to Santa Brigida.

Rugby League: London Skolars search for their first win of the season. They entertain the famous Whitehaven on Sunday at New River Stadium, kick off 3pm.  A great day out, go on pop along with your Mum for Mothers Day.

On Saturday, Hainault Bulldogs open their clubhouse at their new home.  Details can be found on their website, go along and support them if you're in the Dagenham area.

In Super Rugby, the Rebels travel to Perth on Saturday, to take on Western Force.  Melbourne go there on the back of a fabulous home win last time out.

In Speedway, Newcastle Diamonds have the toughest weekend.  The lads have had a perfect start to the 2011 season.  On Friday they open their league account with a trip to Scunthorpe Scorpians. They then travel to Hertfordshire on Saturday to take on Rye House Rockets in Hoddesdon.  On Sunday, they then head back to the North East, to entertain Edinburgh Monarchs in the Premier Shield.

In Ice Hockey, Chelmsford Chieftains also have fixtures this weekend, but we will provide more information on these later this week.  The Ice Man cometh - so beware.

As always please check with clubs featured to confirm time, date and venue - HAPPY SPORTING.
