Six wishes for a happy new year

WE ARE three days into the new year and, if you haven't already, it's time to put together your wish list for what you want to see in your favourite sports in 2015.

The biggest event in the local calendar will arguably be the SEA Games in June, and I can't think of any better way to celebrate our nation's landmark 50th birthday than by having our athletes top the medal standings.

It's going to be another busy year for football with the always unpredictable English Premier League (EPL) season heading for yet another nail-biting finish, while Real Madrid and Barcelona are once again neck-and-neck in the race for the Spanish league championship.
