Canterbury’s four semi-finalists for the MILO Trophy have been found

05-Dec-2002Canterbury’s four semi-finalists for the MILO Trophy have been found.Some close games were required before the positions were filled.As a result of those game, the first semi-final will see Avonhead play Elmwood.Avonhead qualified by beating last season’s finalists Oaklands while Elmwood, the defending champions beat Cotswold. Their match will be played at Avonhead School tomorrow, starting at 1.30pm.Amberley and Tai Tapu will play out the second semi-final. Amberley go into their semi-final early next week with some good form behind them, including several scores over 100. They have a strong, all-round side and beat Fernside earlier in the week in their inter-zone final. An outbreak of measles at Sheffield School resulted in them having to default their quarter-final.Tai Tapu have also looked strong, accounting for Springston and Bromley in the knockout phases.The Canterbury final is scheduled for next Friday, December 13 and is set to be a classic town versus country battle.

Liverpool have expressed an interest in Inter Milan and Italy midfielder Nicolo Barella, according to Italian journalist Enrico Camelio.

The lowdown

Barella made 36 league appearances for Inter last season, scoring three and assisting seven.

A well-rounded player, he averaged 1.6 tackles, 0.7 interceptions, 2.2 accurate long balls and 1.3 key passes per 90 minutes (via WhoScored).

The 24-year-old is currently on Euro 2020 duty and was on target on Friday night as the Azzurri beat Belgium to progress to the semifinals.

Retired footballer and commentator Ray Hudson tweeted during the game that Barella is ‘as slippery as an eel covered in Italian olive oil’.

The latest

Camelio claims Liverpool have ‘asked for information’ on Barella amid Inter’s financial struggles.

The Serie A champions are set to bank €71million from Achraf Hakimi’s move to PSG, but ‘another sale will be needed’ to solve their financial woes.

However, Inter don’t regard Barella as one of their ‘transferable’ assets and have made that clear to Liverpool – he is currently valued at £58.5m by Transfermarkt.

The verdict

Liverpool need to replace Georginio Wijnaldum this summer to ensure they’ll have the depth to compete.

And Barella would be an excellent candidate – it’s not a like-for-like replacement by any means, but the Reds don’t need to be stagnant.

At the Euros, he’s showcased his ability to play defence-splitting passes and gracefully elude challenges, boasting 1.8 key passes and 1.5 dribbles per game at the competition.

While Inter have rebuffed Liverpool’s initial approach, the need to offload another star means there could yet be hope.

In other news, Liverpool have entered the race to sign this England international. 

“Somerset are on the look out for new talent,” Cricket Development Officer Andrew Moulding told me earlier today when I visited the Centre of Excellence at the County Ground

Richard Walsh21-May-2002″Somerset are on the look out for new talent,” Cricket Development Officer Andrew Moulding told me earlier today when I visited the Centre of Excellence at the County Ground.Andrew continued: “In the near future there are a couple of opportunities for youngsters who are not known to us to come along and show us what they are capable of.”The first of these activities will be the Nat West Interactive Cricket Zone that will be part of the Royal Bath and West Show that takes place at the showground near Shepton Mallet between May 29th and June 1st.The Cricket Development Officer told me: “The Interactive Cricket Zone will be staffed everyday by Somerset coaches, and we look forward to welcoming everybody along to the stand.”The second activity is the `Corner Festival’ that takes place over the forthcoming summer half term, and is named after Tony Corner who was a great champion of youth cricket in the county.Over three days, Sunday June 2nd, Thursday June 6th and Friday June 7th the five age groups, Under 11,12,13,14 and 15 will get together in their areas or `corners’ and play against each other on a round robin basis.Andrew Moulding told me: “The `Corner Cricket’ in June is for development squads, which is a level below our county teams, so we will be hoping to unearth some new talent over the week!”Any youngster or parent who would like to find out more about the `Corner Cricket’ for 2002 should make contact with Somerset Youth Coach Pete Sanderson who is based at the Centre of Excellence in Taunton, telephone number 01823 352266, or 01823 272946.

Swansea City have confirmed the signing of former Bristol City midfielder Liam Walsh on a three-year deal, as reported by Bristol Live.

The Lowdown: Swansea City get busy moving towards 2021/22

Looking towards the new season, fans will be intrigued to see how Steve Cooper’s men bounce back from May’s play-off final disappointment.

Making moves in the transfer market, the Swans have secured deals for former PSV Eindhoven man Joel Piroe alongside Scotland under-21 international Kyle Joseph [Transfermarkt], and a third summer signing will now be making his way to the Liberty Stadium.

The Latest: Walsh completes Swansea move on three-year contract

Free agent Walsh has completed a deal at the south Wales club following his release by the Robins, signing a three-year contract for Cooper’s side [Bristol Live].

Despite being highly-rated at Ashton Gate, manager Nigel Pearson had decided to let the 23-year-old leave due to financial concerns, therefore enabling Swansea to swoop for his services [Bristol Live].

Intriguingly, Walsh follows a very similar path to his new team-mate Korey Smith, who also swapped Bristol City for Swansea 11 months ago [swanseacity.com].

The Verdict: Walsh seems an astute piece of business by Swansea

Upon reflection, Walsh would appear to represent an astute piece of business by the Swansea hierarchy. Young, available for free and with plenty of scope to develop further, he could well prove to be an inspired acquisition come the end of the forthcoming campaign.

He suffered an injury-hit 2020/21 campaign, managing just three appearances [Transfermarkt], but he is still highly-regarded by many around him. His admirers include Premier League legend Matt Le Tissier, who once labelled the Huyton native as ‘top drawer’ during his time with Coventry City [Coventry Live].

Pressing ahead to pre-season, Swansea will no doubt look to get Walsh up to speed in order to realise his qualities on a weekly basis.

In other news, this former Swansea City man has applauded an ex-teammate’s transfer.

Duas boas notícias para o torcedor alvinegro. Carli e Camilo trabalharam com bola normalmente na atividade técnica desta segunda-feira e devem ficar à disposição do técnico Jair Ventura para o jogo contra o Olímpia-PAR, no Nilton Santos, pela terceira fase da Copa Libertadores. Enquanto isso, Montillo treinou com bola, mas separado do elenco. O camisa 7 havia sentido a coxa direita no jogo do Chile – semana passada – e corre contra o tempo para ficar disponível.

O treino alvinegro foi dividido em dois blocos: primeiro, o posicionamento da defesa, com Marcelo, Emerson Silva e Carli revezando. Posteriormente, o grupo foi separado em três blocos, com Camilo sendo encarregado da transição da bola para o setor ofensivo. Os atletas que foram titulares no clássico contra o Flamengo fizeram apenas um leve regenerativo nas dependências do estádio.

Desta forma, o camisa 10 deve mesmo voltar ao time nesta quarta-feira. No caso do zagueiro – que vinha de lesão, diferentemente de Camilo – a avaliação da comissão técnica será determinante para o seu retorno ou não entre os titulares alvinegros. Montillo – com uma lesão leve – treinou com bola e passará por um tratamento intensivo até momentos antes do jogo no Nilton Santos.

حوّل فريق يوفنتوس هزيمته إلى فوز أمام نظيره كالياري بهدفين لهدف، في منافسات الدوري الإيطالي، مساء اليوم السبت.

وحل يوفنتوس ضيفًا على كالياري، ضمن مباريات الجولة الثانية والثلاثين للدوري الإيطالي لموسم 2021-2022.

وتقدم كالياري بهدف أول عن طريق جواو بيدرو في الدقيقة العاشرة، بعدما قُطعت الكرة من ديبالا، واستلم جواو الكرة وسدد وسط تخبط دفاعي من يوفنتوس.

ثم تعادل يوفنتوس عن طريق بيلجريني وبعد احتفال لاعبي السيدة العجوز بالهدف، قرر حكم المباراة إلغاءه مشيرًا لوجود لمسة يد على أدريان رابيو الذي اصطدمت به الكرة من الخلف أثناء انحنائه، وسط اعتراض كبير من لاعبي البيانكونيري على القرار.

وقبل نهاية الشوط الأول نجح المدافع الهولندي ماتياس دي ليخت في اقتناص التعادل ليوفنتوس بهدف من رأسية في الدقيقة 45.

ومع بداية الشوط الثاني تقدم يوفنتوس بهدف ثانٍ لكن يقرر الحكم عدم احتسابه لوجود تسلل على القائد جورجيو كيلليني.

Lahore Whites powered their way to a big first innings total Tuesday in their Quaid Trophy Grade-I game against Rawalpindi, thanks to patient half centuries by a trio of their batsmen

13-Feb-2002Lahore Whites powered their way to a big first innings total Tuesday in their Quaid Trophy Grade-I game against Rawalpindi, thanks to patient half centuries by a trio of their batsmen.After being put in by Rawalpindi captain Naveed Ashraf, Lahore were an impressive 315 for eight at the close of first day’s play at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.Opener Kashif Siddique and Rizwan Aslam struck identical scores of 74 and were partners for the second wicket that yielded 105.Kashif smashed 11 boundaries in a 132 minute stay at the wicket and faced 111 balls while Rizwan was more patient and took 226 minutes for his knock and hit 12 fours. However, a middle order collapse that saw the visitors lose three wickets at the total of 173 briefly put them off track but they recovered well in time with Adnan Usman stroking a fine unbeaten 71. His innings had seven fours.The wicket-taking honours went to Yasir Arafat who took three for 82 while Mohammad Zahid had figures of two for 53.

Say what you like about all of the on-field errors that West Indies’ cricketers have committed on this tour of Australia

John Polack13-Jan-2001Say what you like about all of the on-field errors that West Indies’ cricketers have committed on this tour of Australia. But save some energy for condemnation of the off-field howlers too. The omission of batsman Ricardo Powell from a Test squad sorely lacking attacking strokemakers, for instance, was a glaring oversight. And it was one that it took him just ninety deliveries to authenticate as he led his side to a tense one wicket win with eight balls to spare in the Carlton Series match against Zimbabwe here at the ‘Gabba ground in Brisbane tonight.For all of the unpredictability and mystique that one-day international cricket has relinquished over the course of the last nine months, it still retains an innate capacity to produce wonderful twists and turns and breathtaking finishes. This encounter was one to exemplify the fact. West Indies’ seventh match against international opposition on this tour and Zimbabwe’s first on Australian soil in six years, it developed into the sort of cliffhanger rarely witnessed in this country in recent years.With another disappointing West Indian batting surrender occurring around him, much rested upon the broad and powerful shoulders of Powell (83*). He strode to the crease in the twenty-fourth over with his team staring down the barrel of another defeat at a score of 4/119 as it set out after Zimbabwe’s 9/240. Yet he handled the difficult situation with the class and sophistication of a player who has been presented with far more than thirty-six one-day internationals and a solitary Test to underline his prowess.Powell was denied the opportunity of enhancing a career statistic that shows he has struck more sixes than fours – for the record, he struck nine shots into the boundaries and only one over it – but scored from exactly half of the deliveries that he faced. He deployed the sweep stroke and the cover drive with particular aplomb. Against an attack which was steady but unspectacular, his strokeplay was little short of magnificent.Had Stuart Carlisle and Travis Friend capitalised upon a golden opportunity to run him out in the fortieth over when he had only forty-seven runs alongside his name, Zimbabwe might have defended its total. The pair did not; the team did not.Variously, the Zimbabweans had reduced their opponents to scores of 3/72, 5/137 and 6/155 at different stages of the evening. Despite resolute performances from Sherwin Campbell (42) and Marlon Samuels (34), the West Indian top order was generally unable to effectively kickstart its team’s chase. Wavell Hinds (0), Brian Lara (21) and Jimmy Adams (24) again struggled to occupy the crease for anything but brief periods. Lara, in particular, played another carefree innings that looked unsuited to the situation.That the Zimbabweans had set the West Indians such a chase owed much to the hard work of opener Alistair Campbell (81) at the top of its batting order. On the occasion of his 150th one-day international, the hard-hitting left hander was in supreme form, rewarding captain Heath Streak’s decision to bat first on a hard, straw-coloured pitch upon winning the toss.The former Zimbabwean captain lost out-of-sorts opening partner Trevor Madondo (6) early in the day but looked comfortable from the outset, even amid a fine new ball burst from Cameron Cuffy (1/52 off nine overs) and Nixon McLean (3/48 from ten overs). He played straight early, hitting a number of solid drives through the arc between mid off and mid on, before gradually playing more expansively and striking some exquisite blows through the off side in particular. Moreover, in the midst of fifty-four and eighty-six run partnerships for the second and third wickets with Carlisle (29) and Andy Flower (33) respectively, he nullified any apparent threat offered by a West Indian attack that did not seem to have enough in the way of strike bowlers to crash through on the placid ‘Gabba surface.But the Zimbabweans ultimately lacked the necessary polish to capitalise upon Campbell’s performance. Wickets were surrendered too readily in the middle and latter stages of their innings; slips catches were dropped; misfields and overthrows were too prolific; run outs were missed. They played with a heart and a zest that, at times, was entrancing. However, they brought to their game some unforgivable sins too.The task of securing victory certainly requires more than just heart in circumstances like these. They conceded a forty-six run stand in thirty-four minutes to Powell and Mahendra Nagamootoo (8) for the eighth wicket that proved decisive in the final analysis. Nagamootoo was removed with twelve runs still left to attain, and McLean was forced to beat a path back to the pavilion with two runs required and eleven deliveries remaining. Cuffy (1*) scrambled a single from a shot played through square leg to level the scores and then Powell – by this stage with only the medium pace of Guy Whittall (2/16 off 3.4 overs) left to counter given that Streak had already fully utilised the services of all of his best bowlers – issued a powerful blow over mid wicket.The knowhow and nerve that the Zimbabweans had needed to ally to their enthusiasm had somehow eluded them. As it was, the West Indians possessed slightly more in the way of both commodities when it really mattered.

In an exclusive interview with Football FanCast, Director of Football at Peterborough Barry Fry has claimed that David Gold and David Sullivan have received a lot of stick and abuse from West Ham fans since moving the club from Upton Park to the London Stadium.

The Hammers are currently experiencing their best season since moving to the London Stadium because with three games left in the Premier League, they still have a chance of qualifying for the Champions League.

David Moyes has surprised a lot of people this season in how he has managed to turn the Hammers’ fortunes around from relegation candidates last season to top-six challengers with just a few signings.

Speaking on why West Ham fans are not fond of Gold and Sullivan and how they have had to put up with a lot of stick from Irons supporters, Fry exclusively told FFC:

“The fans are upset because they left the Boleyn Ground where they had brought through a lot of good players, but even if God had been in charge of West Ham they wouldn’t have liked him.

“I think both the Davids and Karen got a horrendous amount of stick for doing the deal but they were thinking of the future for West Ham rather than the past, and I think they got a lot of unnecessary stick.”

The Hammers were in the driving seat to make the top four this season before three defeats in their last four games against Newcastle United, Chelsea and Everton derailed their chances.

West Ham have been hit with some big injuries at the back end of the season as Michail Antonio, Declan Rice, Mark Noble and Aaron Cresswell have all spent time on the sidelines.
