Plenty to keep us occupied over the summer, which are you looking forward to most before the new season kicks off in August??

I'm enjoying the Women's Hockey world Cup at the moment, though England's performance has been piss poor.

A no brainer for me really, it just has to be the World Cup, closely followed by anything else remotely footie related. That said l do enjoy a bit of golf too, so l'll be keeping a close eye on the Open at Royal Liverpool next month.

The annual Manager Hunt is fast becoming my least favourite summer event.

Pfft, as if darts and snooker ever count in the first place.

1. World Cup
2. The Open
2. Tour de France
4. US Open
5. Wimbledon

I can't decide between Tour de France and The Open for 2nd place, possibly Tour de France as it is on for 3(?) weeks rather than just 4 days.

I chose not to select the World Cup, as I think most everyone is looking forward to that. Away from such an event it would be the Rugby Union internationals. There are a lot of enticing fixtures this month.

Surprised Wimbleodn isn't doing better, a British sporting obsession. Guess it shows how big the World Cup is.

Personally speaking, Tennis bores me to tears.
