FESTIVAL OF SPORT ON SUNDAY

NEXT Sunday (March 13) is 'Festival of Sport' day at Market Rasen Racecourse.
As well as all the thrills of jump racing during the afternoon, a host of sporting celebrities will be coming along to entertain the crowds.
There will be chance for visitors to test their skills at the oche against darts legend Bobby George.
Spectators can also prove their punches with British Commonwealth featherweight boxing champion Charles Shepherd.
A man used to a very different kind of racetrack will be at the Lincolnshire racecourse - that's World Supersport motorbike rider Sam Lowes with his team and bike.
Add to all that the presence of members of the Leeds Rhinos Rugby League team and a fantastically exciting day is in prospect.
Pip Kirkby, the racecourse's managing director, said: "We have a cracking afternoon of entertainment laid on for our visitors. There really is something for everyone at the racecourse on Sunday.
"It is the beginning of a massive week for horse racing - with the Cheltenham Festival at our sister racecourse in Gloucestershire - so we're looking forward to welcoming the top jockeys as they prepare for the big races during the week."
A special Sportsman's Package has been put together for the event. For £20, and booked in advance, it comprises admission to the Tattersalls Enclosure, a pie with peas, a free pint, a discounted Tote bet and the racecourse's new-look raceday guide.

A Sunday Roast package is also on offer - £55 per person to include use of a private hospitality box overlooking the track, two-course Sunday lunch, County Enclosure admission (worth £19 alone) and a raceday guide.
