The final countdown....

After a great six days of sporting activity the World Firefighter Games is nearly at a close.
But what a fantastic last weekend it was.
I dropped in at Otterspool Promenade on Saturday to see the start of the Chiefs Challenge.
The London Fire Brigade parachute team did an aerial display to start the race and luckily the rain held off long enough for the runners - and riders - to make their way along the five mile course to the Echo Arena - and raise tens of thousands of pounds along the way.
The winner was Dave Robinson who managed to run the course in an impressive 25 minutes.
Also at the Arena on Saturday were the qualifying heats of the tug-of-war, the darts and the arm wrestling.
It was fantastic to see the support from the crowds for Merseyside's A and B tug-of-war teams.
The A-Team - under the coaching of Assistant chief fire officer Bill Evans eventually took Gold and the B Team took an impressive bronze. Congratulations to both teams - and their coaches - for a job well done.
On Sunday was the final of the Toughest Firefighter Alive.
Despite the driving rain people still came out to support the final few contestants over the course.
This year looked a real toughie of a competition with Austrian Herbert Krenn and Swede Daniel Hallgren taking joint honours. The team from the Czech Republic also stole the show by sweeping the medals board in the age category - and winning the team title.
Event co-organiser Mike O'Mahoney, from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service took silver in his age category (40-44) an impressive result following his gold medal in the rowing on day one of the Games.
Ben Walker, 28, and James McCabe, 50, from Tyne and Wear fire service were also British winners in the TFA 30 and under and 50 and under categories. Ben also took silver in the judo despite breaking a bone in his foot in his first bout.
Both guys were sent best wishes for the Games by Newcastle manager - and former Liverpool FC player - Kevin Keegan.
