Sports Update for May

May is a busy month for sport and the most exciting F1 season for years is in full swing at the moment and we have three more races this month including the iconic Monaco Grand Prix. That takes place on Sunday the 25th and is preceded by the Miami Grand Prix on the 4th and the Emilia Romanga race, which is taking place at the Imola circuit in Italy on the 18th.

The Premier League is concluding at the end of the month and unless some miracles or disasters occur, depending on your team, both the winner of the league and the relegation places seem pretty much set in stone. There is however plenty still to play for as far as Champions League places are concerned and this should ensure a pretty exciting last day of the season for the fans of the teams

involved.

Tennis fans are treated to the next grand slam event of the season with the French Open being played on the famous red clay surface at Roland Garros in Paris. The event starts on the 19th of the month and goes right through to the finals on the 9th of June.

The Champions League final is taking place in Germany on the 31st of the month and although at time of writing it’s too early to tell who will be involved, the possibility of both Bayern Munich and/or

Dortmund being there will add an extra level of excitement for the fans of both teams. The thought of a “home final” against one of the other top teams in Europe must be a mouthwatering prospect and a great incentive for both outfits, especially Harry Kane and Bayern!

The second golf “Major” of the season, the US PGA Championship, is being played at the tough Quail Hollow course from the 15th until the 18th of the month. The result of the Masters is not known at the time of writing but regardless of how Rory McIlroy gets on at

Augusta, he is a multiple winner here and if he cannot secure his career grand slam at the Masters, compensation may well await here.

That’s about it for May, looks like there’s something for everyone.
