Jezza's football favourites are Bristol City FC.
Sadly some of the good city fan sites seem to have disappeared but I recommend a visit to Bristol City - the Bright City Life, The Bristol City Band, cidered.net, city-ground.org.uk and the rather good BBC Bristol City site
Soccerworld has lots of stuff about local non-League football, also unfortunately some stuff about the other (recently relegated!) league team in Bristol (avert your eyes!)

If you can't get to the game you can follow the live commentary here and also a live text commentary from BBC Bristol

Cricket

I support Somerset County Cricket Club winners of the Cheltenham & Gloucester one day trophy in 2001. For a more independent view try Grockles.com or Sabretalk.
I sometimes follow Test and other cricket on CRICKINFO. Ball by ball match reports and live audio & video feed of some overseas Test matches (depending on contractual arrangements).
