This Footle Suite has an underlying sports theme based on  terms germane to  multiple sports eg cricket, rugby, swimming etc

50 footles amount to a 100 lines hence the title 

Win gold be bold Long run such fun High jump speed bump Grand prize all eyes Close race in chase Drab match I catch Ground stroke no joke Tiebreak heartache Foot fault must halt Forehand so grand Deuce court report Drop shot on spot Backspin just in Closed stance advance First serve hold nerve All out no doubt Arm ball your call Back foot well put Feet sore crowd roar Pit stop right flop Air jacks not lax Catch fence immense Choose cone in zone Downforce of course Dry line sounds fine Black dot so what Box-kick smart flick Breakdown don’t frown Eight-man staunch fan Fend-off not half Fly half big laugh Five-eight high rate Foul play no way Free kick quite slick Full-back don’t slack Knock-on now gone Loose head instead Pop pass first class Red card off guard Set piece they tease Shoeing booing Touch judge won’t budge Midcourt retort High clear hear hear Backstroke awoke Duck-Dill instil Frontcrawl your call Grab start look smart Pull Buoy alloy Swim Down don’t clown
