Tonight’s show has a family feel about its as we look at two son’s emulating their fathers, and two brothers enjoying sibling rivalry of a far more serious nature.
Plus we urge you to get on your bike for a good cause, and take part in or sponsor someone taking part in the Perth Great Bike Ride this Sunday. Find out how on the show tonight.

Ricki Herbert, has worked wonders as the All Whites coach and has steered the New Zealand team to their second World Cup finals, their first since 1982 when he was a player. We will catch up with the man who swung in the corner that saw Rory Fallon – whose dad was assistant coach in 1982 – score the decisive goal, Leo Bertos.
Hockey
Another sportsman following in his father’s footsteps is Brent Dancer who has been selected for the Kookaburras as they contest the Champion’s Trophy in Melbourne at the end of the month. Brent’s father also steered the Kookaburras to Olympic Gold in Athens in 2004 as national coach.
Boxing
The State boxing titles were held over the weekend and although there was no father and son connections we did witness two brothers fight each other for the state title. Boxing’s Head of Development at WAIS Geoff Peterson joins us to review the weekend.

Last year WA’s Great Bike Ride raised over $250,000, this year’s event gets under way this Sunday, and individuals can still register. We will talk to Vicki Rasmussen Fundraising Director of the Heart Foundation about this year’s event and the target in terms of fundraising.
