AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Welcome back everyone to the qualifying rounds of the marble sand rally tournament, here at Brightsea Beach.
You can see there quite a few socially distanced fans here today cheering their favorites on.
We’ve also had lots of tweets from people who want to root for individual marbles, like this one from Tom in Brazil: “Go Blue Sky! Blow the other teams away today!”
So, we’ve got five marbles in the starting position – and they’re off.
Blue Sky is speeding up as it goes into the first part of the course, but now Red Rose is catching up.
Will Red Rose be able to keep up with Blue Sky?
No, Red Rose is slowing down now… slowing down… Red Rose has dropped back into last place behind Sunflower – and it looks like Red Rose has been knocked out of the competition. Unlucky!
Oh no! It’s starting to rain.
We’re going to have to call off the next round until the weather improves and we can restore the course.
