Forest never do things the easy way, do they? We should have been raising a glass to safety this evening, but instead we'll be supping up with one cautious eye on the league table. It's been a remarkable turnaround, and for a few weeks almost everything has gone Forest's way. But there remains a chance of a final day disaster, at least until Monday evening. Forest played fairly badly this afternoon; trapped somewhere between complacency and incompetence. But they did enough. Blackpool were determined to throw down the anchor on 2008/09 and they didn't let Forest have it their way. Forest took the lead on the back of a polished move and another excellent Lynch cross. The subsequent 15 minutes saw a run of opportunities to double the lead. The home side were nothing special, but they were scrappy enough and ugly enough to keep the game on a leash. They had enough about them to cash in on a leaky back five system which lacked anything of the discipline shown at Sheffield United. The equaliser came after Chambers dived in on the half-way line and his colleagues failed to recover. Garner's automated toppling strategy gave Forest 20 minutes of hope, but Blackpool were in no mood to take their own battle to the final day and they were boisterous in every tackle. Chris

Cohen's free kick was tipped over (perhaps his first ever passable set piece), Earnshaw came close with a net-whistling strike that had some Forest fans celebrating, and James Perch missed the target with a free header. In stoppage time McGugan had a customary scolding from Earnshaw after drilling a poor shot into the keeper's arms instead of passing. But Forest fans filed out in fairly high spirits, dwelling on the usual doomsday scenarios and mathematical strategies that dominate conversation at this time of year. As we suspected, a win against relegated Southampton – who will have no incentive beyond pride – will keep us up, and probably reshape the entire future of the football club. The Blackpool fans were happier this afternoon, but the joke's on them. Their back garden continues to be a cesspit of vomiting Glaswegians and fat orange slappers in costume. Match Ratings: Smith – 6 – excellent save from a late free-kick, but the same old story. Gunter – 6 – not as comfortable in the advanced role. Chambers – 6 – not a horror show by any means, but one or two shaky moments spoiled the performance. Morgan – 6.5 – not as solid with the weight of the entire team on his shoulders. Breckin – 6 – not mobile enough, but just about coped. Lynch – 7 – incisive ball for Blackstock's goal. A reasonable defensive performance. Osbourne – 7- another solid performance. Perch – 7 – good tackling back, but couldn't bridge the gap between defence and attack. Cohen – 6 – a poor game by his own high standards, compounded by typically poor set pieces (one free kick aside). He's overdue that summer holiday. Garner – 7 – scrappy, and his gumption saw them reduced to ten men. Would he have scored if he'd stayed on his feet? I don't think so. Blackstock – 7 – a handful all afternoon, and a vital goal. Subs: McCleary – 7 – not suited to the ploughed playing surface, but he caused problems. Earnshaw – 6 – only one real chance. McGugan – 6 – too late for an impact.

Notts County's campaign on home territory ended with a 3-0 defeat to playoff hopefuls Dagenham & Redbridge this afternoon. Stunning first-half strikes from Sam Saunders and Matt Ritchie kept Dagenham's hopes of gaining promotion to League One through the playoffs very much alive and Ritchie wrapped up the win two minutes from time. Michael Johnson was - as expected - at the heart of the County defence in his last ever competitive fixture in a Notts home game. He replaced Stephen Hunt at the back while Matt Hamshaw was recalled to the team after being on the bench at Morecambe a week ago with an ankle problem. Hunt and Jamie Forrester were well enough after illness to take their places on the bench, so there was no place in the sixteen for Centre of Excellence duo Alex Troke or Lewis Williamson who were drafted into the County squad yesterday. Dagenham got the final fixture at Meadow Lane this season underway attacking towards the Victoria Centre Kop Stand. County had a great opportunity to take the lead in the fifth minute after Myles Weston stole the ball off Arber in the Dagenham defence but after latching onto the ball and advancing into the box

Richard Butcher tamely shot straight at Button. Dagenham's first opportunity came on fifteen minutes through on-loan Portsmouth youngster Matt Ritchie but he blasted wide from all of twenty-five yards. Another great chance came for Notts on twenty minutes with Weston again the architect, but this time his ball across to Facey in the six-yard box was just behind the striker with an open goal in front of him. Weston then went for glory himself on twenty-five from a central position but after weaving his way past two defenders he screwed his shot wide. On thirty-four minutes the deadlock was broken by the visitors, and in some style. Sam Saunders drifted inside from the right and after being given far too much time on the ball he let fly with a left-foot effort that screamed past the stranded Pilkington and into the top corner. It was an effort worthy of gracing the very top stage, and the County fans recognised that by applauding Saunders' strike. After Button dropped a Hamshaw cross five minutes before the break County looked destined to equalise but Weston's shot was deflected wide by a Dagenham defender in a crowded penalty area. From the resultant corner John Thompson met the ball with a firm header, but he couldn't direct his effort on target and the ball drifted over. A minute before the break the Daggers doubled their lead - again in spectacular fashion. This time left-back Matt Ritchie let fly from twenty-five yards and his thunderbolt flew past Pilkington into the top-left-hand corner of his goal. Again the goalkeeper had no chance and County were left stunned after enjoying the better of the chances. Ben Fairclough replaced Richard Butcher at half-time and he

moved straight up top to partner Delroy Facey. County began the second half searching for a way back into the game and although they were positive in taking the game to the Daggers they were having no luck finding a way through. Pilkington was called into action to make a good stop from Southam on the hour in a rare Dagenham attack in the second half. A shot into the ground by Clapham following a corner fell kindly to Edwards with twenty-six minutes left inside the six-yard box but Button was off his line and blocked the defenders effort. The pressure was being piled on, but Dagenham were holding firm when it really mattered. Michael Johnson bid a fond farewell to first-team football at Meadow Lane with fifteen minutes to go when he was replaced by Stephen Hunt. The defender left the field to standing ovation from all ends of the ground. He will bring down the curtain on his career next week at Wycombe. A minute after Johnson's substitution Gavin Strachan had a chance to pull a goal back for County but Button palmed his shot away. Jamie Forrester followed as a third and final substitute late on in place of Jamie Clapham. Ritchie put the gloss on the victory two minutes from time with a shot from twenty-yards that beat Pilkington's despairing dive and nestled into the far corner. County will round off their season

NORTHERN COUNTIES EAST LEAGUEat Hatfield Main, the final score 1-1. Matt Bedford put the Yorkshire club in front, James Gyoury-Hales hitting the equalizer for Harrowby. Despite finishing second from bottom the Lincolnshire club has been good acquisition to the CMFL. A good win for Clipstone Welfare, they won 4-1 at Yorkshire Main, the home team are difficult opponents at home. David Manninfield put Main in front but goals by Chris Hewitt (2) and Richard Giles put the visitors 3-1 in front at half time, Carl Russo added Clipstone's fourth after the interval. Louth Town took a big stride towards the Black Dragon Premier Division title, they visited the present leaders Westella & Willerby and two goals from Kirk Crossley gave the Lincolnshire club a 2-1 victory. Alan Laud scored for Westella who still lead the table on goal difference but Louth have three games in hand. Third placed Parramore Sports dropped two vital points in midweek, only drawing 4-4 at home, against Welbeck Welfare, at one stage of the game Welbeck led 4-1 so in the end Parramore would probably been pleased to take a share of the points. Kirkby Town, who are fourth place, did not play today, but with five matches remaining they now have a great chance of at least third place above Parramore. Thorne Colliery took another step to finishing as the wooden spoonists they lost again, at home to Parkhouse, the visitors winning 4-0, all the goals came in the second half, from Matt Rhodes, Nathan Styles and a brace by John Parsons. Bulwell Town and Welbeck Welfare are likely to finish in the two other re-election places. Bulwell lost 4-3 against Church Warsop Miners Welfare at Goosedale Sports Club. Aaron Ross (2) and Remay McKenzie for Bulwell. Jason Edwards, Lee Bonsall and Connor Kelly, who scored twice, for Church Warsop. Welbeck shared four goals at Hutton Cranswick United, Lee Warriner, who hit a hat tick for Welbeck in midweek, was again the visitors 'star' getting both goals. Mark Davies and Mike O'Connell scored for the East Riding club. Two first half goals by Dean Wiffen and Matthew Shaw gave Bentley Colliery the points at home against Thoresby Colliery Welfare. In the Abacus Lighting Reserves Supreme Division the three leading teams, Carlton Town Reserves, Staveley Miners Welfare Reserves and Heanor Town Reserves all where without a game. Fourth placed Belper Town Reserves won 2-0 at Christchurch Meadows against Rainworth Miners Welfare Reserves. Tom Cooper-Richards and Sam Johnson the scorers. Second from bottom Radford Reserves enjoyed the result of the day in this division, Joseph Lowe, the Manager's son, hit four in his sides 6-1 win at Blidworth Welfare Reserves. Graham St Prims Reserves won by the only goal of the game at Shirebrook Town Reserves and Mickleover Sports Reserves accounted for Teversal Reserves winning 4-2 at Teversal's Carnarvon Street ground. Three teams are battling it out for the title in the Abacus Lighting Reserves Premier Division, leaders Southwell City Reserves lead the table by five points but the second and third placed teams, Yorkshire Main Reserves and Kiveton Park Reserves have two

JOKEs OF THE WEEK

On a rainy night a taxi driver stops to pick up a very dripping wet naked woman,‘Where to he stammered?’ ‘The railway station’, answered the woman. ‘OK’ he said, taking a long glance in the mirror. The woman caught him staring and asked, ‘What the hell are you looking at?’ ‘Welll Ma’am I noticed you’re completely naked I was just wondering how you are going to pay?’ The woman then spread her legs put her feet on the front seat smiled at the driver and said, ‘Does this answer your question?’ Still looking in the mirror, the driver asked, ‘Haven’t you got anything smaller?’

CENTRAL MIDLANDS LEAGUEDefeats for Calverton Miners Welfare and Sutton Town AFC give Forest Town, the leaders and second placed Radcliffe Olympic the edge for the title in the Buckingham Insurance Supreme Division. Both Forest Town and Radcliffe Olympic gained 1-0 victories, Forest Town's winner being converted by Craig Jackson in the 10th minute against Southwell City, Radcliffe's all important goal came in the second half from Carl Westcarr, at Kinsley Boys. The head to head match between Radcliffe and Forest Town on May 9th becomes even more important as the season draws to its conclusion. A 2-1 win at Kimberley Town took Newark Town into third place, above Calverton Miners Welfare, but with only one match remaining this is the highest position that the Nottinghamshire club can achieve. At the Stag Ground Chris Self gave the visitors the lead at half time and they extended this through Craig Roche early in the second half. Matt Bedford pulled a goal back for the home team but they could not obtain an equalizer their overall play deserved. Calverton Miners Welfare crashed to defeat at Sutton Town AFC, after a goalless first half, goals by Lee Rhodes, Luke Shiels and Ben Greenhalgh gave the home team a 3-0 victory. Sutton's chances of taking the title was ended in midweek by a shock 4-0 defeat at Kimberley Town. Calverton's chances of the title hang by a thread and they will certainly have to win their last three matches to have any chance at all. Ollerton Town did not play but they can have a big bearing on the outcome of the title and could still finish has the runners up, they have both Forest Town and Calverton to play, both at home. Harworth Colliery Institute ended the season disappointingly but it must be said that they have been the surprise team in the Supreme Division and it's only in the last few weeks that they have slipped down the table. Their final game at Scrooby Road ended in a 4-0 defeat against Blidworth Welfare. James Tagg, Liam Best, Gavin Jackson and Lee Eason scoring the visitors goals. A goal romp ended Pinxton's league programme, both Jay Cooper and Daniel Marriott hit hat tricks and with further goals from Danny Evans, Wayne Cook and Josh Parker the Derbyshire club thumped bottom club Rolls Royce Leisure 9-0 at Watnall Road. Harrowby United ended their campaign with a share of the points

Scots Grey 4Oyster Martyrs 3All the pre-match build up was about Rooney, his brother, his cousin, uncle (how does that song go?) and of course what dress Collen would be wearing in the Directors Box. In front of a home crowd of over 2,000 Oyster Martyrs were favourites to pick-up the coveted All England Cup and title of England's Best Pub Team. But Manager, Steve Osborne seems to have instilled a “Never say Die” mentality in the Grey's dressing room and not for the first time in the competition the Bulwell side came back from the brink of defeat to claim a historic victory. Scots Greys started the more nervous of the two sides, but soon got into their stride taking the 1st goal through Phil Bignall.

Oyster then struck back and Rooney's brother, sorry cousin slotted a second for the Liverpool side and all looked dead and buried for the Nottingham outfit. Then in the 93rd minute up-popped Juree 'Peter' Staples with a header to take the tie into extra time amid boisterous celebrations in the Kop. Oyster must have thought they had already won and never recovered in extra-time soon going behind to two Alan Jefferies strikes, one from the penalty spot after a Bignall was hit by a sniper. Oyster now needed to show the kind of resolve that Scots Grey's showed in normal time, but they weren't up to the task, registering only a late consolation to make the tie 4-3. An amazing achievement for all connected with the club. So what can Scots Grey aim for next season? Defence of the All England Cup I hope.

Steve Osborne kisses the All England Trophy

A shock 3-2 midweek defeat at the hands of Monty Hind Old Boys followed by a further defeat by the same scoreline to Old Elizabethans two days later means that former Premier Division Championship favourites Woodborough United must defeat Southwell Amateurs in their last game and at the same time hope that FC05 and Old Elizabethans lose their final fixtures.

Gunn & Moore South Nottinghamshire League - Summary

Cricket

There was a smattering of games on the unofficial opening of the season

and as expected, Division B title favourites Hyson Green Carrington Caribs

have signalled their intentions from the start.

Caribs have assembled an impressive squad for that level and yesterday they

put fellow newly promoted side Hucknall to the sword amassing 285. It was a good day for debutants as ex Unity man Monty Douglas struck 59, whilst the much travelled Nagasir Sookram responded with 6 for 46 with the ball. In reply, Hucknall were in with a shout at 109 for 1, but some tight bowling in particular from Kaisar Altaf and Taufseer Shah put the skids on and the home side, despite 85 from skipper Scott Harris fell short on 203 for 7.Clifton Village II who finished runners up in B last season carried on from where they left off with a ten wicket thrashing of Kimberley II. The home side managed 150 with all rounder Steve Bennett top scoring with 37. However Kimberley look a little light on the bowling front with Richard Adams being elevated to the first team to replace the departed Jason Gorman. Skipper James Griffiths' fears were confirmed as Anthony Hart (84) and Richard Harrison (61) knocked the runs off in just 27 overs.Shane Litchfield made a swift return to his former club Gotham and offered a catch first ball which Gotham spilt. Litchfield went on to make 47 and together with Julian Richardson (62) and John Harrison (48), Loughborough Carillon posted a daunting 247. The Haworth brothers of Alex (95) and Steve (45) made a valiant effort after tea but

the home side finished on 201 with the colourful Mark Gamlyn and Toby Waistling each grabbing three wickets apiece.In C Colin McConnell of Attenborough II recorded the divisions only century in their game at Kirkby Portland. However it turned out to be in vain as Anthony Booth (74*), Richard Underhill (45*) and Steve Betteridge (42) saw the victors pass the 237 target with seven overs to spare.Lee Houghton of Radcliffe II smacked an unbeaten 90 in his team eight wicket win at home to Plumtree II (183). However Lee had to share centre stage with 17 year old Lily Brown who took 4 for 53 in Plumtree's innings. Collingham II were no match for a strong Gedling and Sherwood II side in G who totalled a whopping 358 thanks to John Gell (123), Carl Blake (86) and Paul McMillan (47). Collingham could only muster 86 in reply as Gerry Cruise helped himself to a five wicket haul.Newly promoted Whatton and Aslockton made the perfect start bowling out Gotham II for 67 and passing the target in just ten overs. For the winners Alex White (4 for 28) was the chief destroyer.Belvoir are currently preparing for their first stint in the top flight in eight years. They have attracted a number of new

players in pre season and hopefully this will have a knock on effect on the second team as they attempt to climb the leagues. Yesterday the seconds in J made short work of Lambley (108) with Ollie Clayfield (54*), Charles Hubbard (49*) and Simon Clark (5 for 28) playing the leading roles.Finally in K there were two centuries in the game between Keyworth II and Kimberley III. Firstly Kimberley's Danny Williams survived two dropped catches in single figures to

go and record 107. Assisted by Paul Rockey (50) the visitors racked up (215). Keyworth lost star batsman Geoff Tindsley with a dislocated shoulder before the reply began, nevertheless Andy Cowlard hit a boundary off the final ball to notch up a fine 100 as Keyworth fell 24 runs short.

LEAGUE TABLES

Bassetlaw & District Cricket League

Cricket

Making their first appearance in the league since 1998, Notts. Academy (formerly The Colts) announced their arrival with a bang as they destroyed Bridon at Ordsall by a mammoth 176 runs. From the moment they took to the crease on a near perfect wicket, runs flowed like a tap gushing water and when 50 overs were complete, they stood at a staggering 307 for 2 with Sam Wood making a magnificent entrance with a brilliant unbeaten 152.In addition Akhil Patel batted supremely well in making 83 and West Indian Kevon Cooper crashed it around at will to finish on 40 n.o. as the run chase continued. Bridon must have been delighted when the umpires called innings closed after facing a torturous run chase which showed little sign of relenting.The reply actually started extremely well and Bridon reached a promising 77 for 1 before the wheels fell off big style. Only Aaron Haycock (38) carried any threat as Adam Shepherd (4 for 25) and Akhil Patel (3 for 23) sliced through some tame resistance to dismiss their rivals for a disappointing 131. This was a great start for The Academy and Bridon will enjoy better days because they won't face a team as good as this every week. It's too early to say what will happen but on this evidence The Academy look a potent force and it will take a team right on top of their game to trouble them.Just down the road at Retford, the home side must have been celebrating as they piled up a colossal 280 for 8, only to see Killamarsh who were relegated from the Premier League last year, eclipse that with an astonishing 281 for 7.Retford were rather under strength with their Australian import yet to arrive, but you wouldn't have noticed this as the replacements did a fantastic job particularly with the bat. Over the winter months the club have put in weeks of work to improve the wicket and it certainly showed as it resembled a real shirt-front and the outfield was like plate glass, once it was through the field, their was no hope of catching it.John Cook made a brilliant unbeaten 107, whilst Chris Bowers (55), Pascal Broadley (33) and Sam Shepherd (31) all made hay as the sun shone as Killamarsh were given a real chasing and only Rodney Cook with 3 for 78 made any impression with the ball.This score looked good enough to test anyone, and when Killamarsh stood 20 for 2, it looked only a matter of time. However a fantastic captain's innings from Adam Whiteley who batted magnificently and never looked in the slightest trouble as he reached an unbeaten 119 put them in command. Paul Burdett gave splendid support with 67 and Killamarsh won the match with three balls remaining in a game which was a real credit for Bassetlaw Cricket.Another game of fantastic quality took place at Park Avenue, Glapwell, as opponents Kiveton Park managed to hold on to a winning draw with just two runs to spare. Matt Hall the Glapwell skipper totally wrecked the top order batting of Kiveton with an astonishing burst which had them reeling on 64 for 5 with Hall taking all the wickets. It needed a good stand and this was forthcoming from Tim Ward who went on to carry his bat for a spectacular unbeaten 139 and Richard Spurr (30) who added 102 in good time to rescue the innings. The tail wagged as well and Kiveton finished on 234 for 9 which was a lot more than it looked like being at one time. Matt Hall took 6 for 35 and deserved his success for an accurate and penetrative stint.Danny Bircumshaw (35) and Lee Topham (33) got Glapwell away to a good if a little slow start and the run rate eeked upwards alarmingly as the Kiveton attack took a firm hold on proceedings. Skipper Lee Brooks reeled away remorselessly at one end taking 3 for 78 from 15 overs. At one stage the rate had crept to almost nine per over required but a lot of credit must go to Ricky Csomer (51 n.o.), Jeff Wharton and Shaun

Jamie Sizer (3 for 27) and Jamie Bovill (3 for 50) both bowled well but support was lacking elsewhere.Only Jon Loates (52) put up much resistance as Welbeck bowled very impressively to dismiss Wheatley for just 133. Greg Herbert (4 for 9) and Reece Wyborne (3 for 42) bowled well and Welbeck on this sort of form should enjoy a very good season.Papplewick & Linby 2nd moved away to a good start with a winning draw against Blidworth who were hanging on desperately at stumps. Papplewick batted first and made 193 for 8 with Gareth Blenkhorn top scoring with 50 and excellent support coming from Chris Briggs (33). Daniel Willcock (3 for 34) bowled impressively for Blidworth but one got the impression that this was a rather good score.After a good start from Chris Dove (30) and Karl Mayes (59), Blidworth rather capitulated as wickets fell at regular intervals. They finished holding on at 158 for 9 with Chris Briggs (4 for 13) and Martin Mitchell (3 for 22) causing most of the damage but the final wicket proved elusive as Papplewick registered a winning draw.Another match which saw a side hanging on took place at Elm Avenue where Ransome and Marles held out against West Indian Cavaliers. Batting first the 'Cavs' totalled 212 for 9 with Kamran Afzaal (80) and Mohammed Massood (61) providing the bulk of the runs. Ransomes attack looked quite potent and Paul Taylor (3 for 35), Gary Lambert (3 for 39) and Sean Kelly (3 for 51) shared the spoils in a fine display.This target proved far too much for Ransomes though and they could only make 135 for 9 with Ian Sellars and Nigel Murray (70 n.o.) being the saviours. Umar Zamman (3 for 9) was the pick of the 'Cavs' attack which tried everything to complete the victory but were thwarted by some dogged resistance at the end.Relegated Waleswood found life at this level isn't milk and honey as they were beaten by a determined Whitwell side. Waleswood batted indifferently to reach 179 for 9 with only Asa Khayer (38), Aktar Khan (46) and Gareth Davis (28) resisting the Whitwell attack in which Ian Dennis (4 for 26) was very impressive.Having stepped down from the captaincy, Alan Draycott looked as though he was back to the supreme best he showed a few seasons ago as he stroked his way to a brilliant unbeaten 83 and was aided and abetted by Tom Chester who also batted at the top of his form to make an unbeaten 63. Waleswood skipper Martin Long took 3 for 2 but it was only a token gesture as Whitwell cruised to 183 for 6 and victory by four wickets. Report by Paul Barker - Full results over page

Johnson who with some audacious shots got Glapwell back in the game. Glapwell started the last over needing twelve to win and scored nine of them. It was a real thriller and neither side deserved to lose this classic encounter. Promoted Caythorpe 2nd moved away to a brilliant start as they overcame fancied Edwinstowe by two wickets to register a superb win. Batting first Edwinstowe managed a highly respectable 212 for 6 with Australian Joe Burns (61), Paul Benson (45), Tom Ward (33) and Aaron Rhodes (35) all making good scores.Unperturbed, Caythorpe set about the task very well and terrific efforts from Chris Elisha (76 n.o.) and Richard Beaumont (62) saw them squeeze home to victory on 216 for 8. This was a fantastic start for the new boys to this division against a side who will no doubt win many more matches than they lose. Anston the other promoted side found it not so easy as they were beaten by five wickets at Marshalls. Batting first, Anston reached a respectable 224 all out, with John Lyne top scoring on 85. Marshalls popular skipper Paul Van den Heuval showed once again what a good cricketer he is taking 6 for 74 and excellent support was gleaned from Australian import Joe Allen with 2 for 48.; This score proved nowhere near enough as Marshalls sailed to victory and once again Van den Heuval showed his ability with a fantastic 127. Joe Allen again showed he might be a major asset scoring 38 and Chris Hearn was unbeaten on 44 as victory was achieved. The Gainsborough side were always likely to provide a severe test to Anston and they might well have been considered to have been unfortunate to have drawn them in their very first match at this level.The last match in this section saw Thoresby Colliery eclipse Notts. & Arnold Amateur by 48 runs. Batting first, Thoresby reached a competitive total of 241 all out with skipper Martin Cheshire (72) and Nyeem Ahmed (77) both scoring very heavily. Ian Flood once again bowled brilliantly for Notts. & Arnold taking 6 for 57 in an excellent stint of accurate bowling. In reply, Notts.; & Arnold made a bold effort scoring 193 before being dismissed. Rohan Shah (35) and Peter Evans (67) both batted very well but a fine spell by Muzaffar Usman (4 for 34) was the difference between victory and defeat as Thoresby clinched a hard earned twenty points.In Division 1, Mansfield and Pleasley raced away to a great start with a comprehensive five wicket win over Worksop. Batting first, Worksop made an unflattering 145 all out with Chris Taylor (66) and Glen Pym (40) both batting well, but without much support. Ian Woodall (5 for 25) was the major thorn in their side and nobody looked comfortable against him.In reply new signing from Anston, Patrick Gada got Mansfield & Pleasley away to a good start with an impressive 53. Great support came from Matt Page (35) whilst Luke Ambrose the Worksop skipper tried in vain to turn the tide taking 3 for 30 as Mansfield & Pleasley eased home on 149 for 5.A real thriller took place at The Fieldings with Mansfield Hosiery Mills vanquishing promoted Thoresby Park by just one wicket. Only Andy Siven made much impact with a dogged 38 whilst Darren Johnson (4 for 39) and Daniel Kilvington (4 for 17) bowled excellently for the Hosiery Mills as they bowled Thoresby out for just 152.Even this meagre total proved difficult and had it not been for man of the match Darren Johnson (48) and Ryan Weaver (35 n.o.) the result could have been very different. Paul Hulme (3 for 34) produced a good hostile spell, but Hosiery Mills just got there on 153 for 9 in an epic struggle.Welbeck 2nd moved away to a very impressive start beating North Wheatley with Leverton by 107 runs. A division best of 240 for 8 put them well in command against their promoted rivals with Jamie Jevons (77), Tom Richardson (39) and Mark Richardson (31) all batting superbly to enhance their total.

Once again the Outlaws Warrington Wizzards 22 Waldram and powerhouse prop Si Perry standing out as the backs led the way and just as it was at the end of the first half, Nottingham Outlaws played their first ever home match in the Outlaws began to dominate. With the early nerves calmed it was Rutherford doing the damage. Co-operative Conference National division on Saturday and the forwards on top, the Outlaws went in search of points when they entertained high-flying Warrington Wizards. In a and they were soon in front when on the 8th minute Si Perry scintillating display the Outlaws sent out a warning message proved too big and too strong for the Wizards defence. The to the rest of the league with a superb 52-22 victory over a powerful prop simply barged his way over after a tap penalty team that finished at the top of the division last season.

It was a lead that demolition job that no doubt has sent shock-waves through the Outlaws would not relinquish for the remainder of the the rest of the competition! The Outlaws went into the match match! Young prop forward Si Perry continued to trample expecting a tough encounter. The Cheshire outfit won all but over the visitors every time he got the ball, making huge two of their games last season, finishing at the top of the pile inroads into the Wizards defence and he soon bagged before losing in the play-offs to Celtic Crusaders. Indeed, the another try as stand-off Paul Calland dummied to pass before Wizards were labelled as one of the "big three" teams in the turning the ball inside to the rampaging Perry who again used league alongside Featherstone Lions and hot-favourites his size and power to carry 2 defenders over the line with him Bramley Buffaloes.

With the match in the became somewhat ragged as they continually dropped the balance it was time for the Outlaws backs to start to pose ball and handed over cheap possession early in the tackle more of a threat. They were led down the left flank by count. Such generosity was well received by a grateful whirlwind centre Tom Tsang who began to tear open a rapidly visiting attack and The Wizards used the glut of possession to tiring Wizards defensive line.

With the line broken, Calland set off on a foot race to the Brisbane powerhouse barged his way over despite the line.

much-vaunted attacking machine went into overdrive! The fitness and speed of the Outlaws was clearly evident as they tore holes in a rapidly tiring Warrington defence. Next over the white wash was Rob Brown who went on a mazy run across the face of the Wizards defence, shaping to pass but stepping off his right foot as he scorched through the flailing defence for a well-deserved second try of the match and then Ben Radford capped a fine display when he somehow managed to pop up on the left wing to finish off a superb handling movement that stretched the Outlaws lead to 46-22. With the clock ticking away it seemd like that was the end of the proceedings but there was just enough time left for the Outlaws to break through the half centurey mark! It was perhaps fitting that the final try would go to the effervescent Tom Tsang who had by far his best game in an Outlaws shirt to date. The rip-roaring centre was on hand to take the money ball after a superb break by rookie winger Phil Lucas and he sauntered under the posts to wrap up a great day at the office for the young centre and bring up the half century for the Outlaws. Calland converted and the referee mercifully drew the match to close with the Outlaws holding an emphatic 52-22 winning margin. Immediately after the game, coach Martin Crick was in ebullient mood, adding "I always felt

Rugby League

Continued from page 16By contrast, The Wizards confidence was most definately rising minute by minute as the visitors felt they now had the sniff of a chance! With the Outlaws urgently needing to re-impose themselves they needed a hero to step forward and they found one in the shape of loose forward Simon Morton! The ex-Sheffield Eagles star has battled back from a crippling knee injury that forced him to take a 2 year absence from the game and after only 3 games in the Outlaws colours he is already becoming a firm favourite with the fans! The tireless loose forward grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck! The rising star latched onto a short ball from Jimmy Lewis and a combination of good footwork and upper-body strength saw the Outlaws lock-forward dive over for a try that took the Outlaws lead out to 36-16 which was stretched to 38-16 as Calland converted. The Morton try not only had the effect of settling the home nerves, it also caused the Warrington heads drop visibly as they knew that any chance of a mini-revival had been well and truly snubbed out! The Wizards did manage the next score to peg the lead back to 38-22 but it was a brief interlude as the remainder of the match was virtually one-way traffic! With the game seemingly in the bag, the Outlaws

this was a game we could win, but to be honest the sheer margin of our victory has taken me by surprise. It was a great attacking display, the pack were excellent and my backs were superb, especially the centre partnership of Tsang and Rutherford who I thought had a fantastic game. However, there is still much work to do on defence and we will be working on this in the next two weeks" The Outlaws coach then threw down the gauntlet to the rest of the league, when he was asked how the Outlaws were shaping up to life in the big league, the wily Yorkshireman answered simply "we are in it to win it!". As the Outlaws players waited to hear who had won the prestigious man of the match award, any one of half a dozen players were seen to be in the reckoning. In the pack Rob Brown and Simon Morton had worked tirelessly and the centre pairing of Tsang and Rutherford had terrorised their opposite numbers. However, there were no complaints when Adam Millward continued his monopoly on the man of the match trophy as he bagged his third award in the opening three matches of the season. Without doubt the Staffordshire Hit Man continues to blow away all who stand in his path! Next week the Outlaws have a well-earned break before they resume action on the 9th May with a trip to Liverpool.

Nottingham's Carl 'The Cobra' Froch defeated Jermaine Taylor to retain the WBC Super Middle Weight Belt. In a spectacular fight which saw 'The Cobra' knocked to the canvas in round 3, Froch rallied and stopped his man with just 14 seconds remaining in the final round. Froch arrived in America with many of the home support wondering who this man was form the land of Robin Hood. But make no mistake by the end of an enthralling encounter the American sporting public now know who 'The Cobra' is and no doubt can't wait for his return. The fight started with Jermaine Taylor firmly stating his 'bad intentions' showing quicker hand speed and an array of combinations early on, which at times seemed to have Froch rattled. The pressure was on and in the third Froch took three right hands, the last an overhand right which took him down for the first time in his professional career. He got up quickly on an eight count admitting afterwards that he had not seen two of the shots coming. Thankfully there was little time left in the round for Taylor to continue and as the bell went, as it turned out, so did Taylors best chance of winning the fight. Taylor it has to be said was landing his jab more effectively but Froch was game and tried to counter with his trademark

putting Taylor down in the corner. The American got back up on 9 counts but Froch sensing victory and not much time left on the clock wadded in with fifteen unanswered punches. Sensibly the referee looking to prevent any further unnecessary damage dived in and stopped the fight giving The Cobra his first defence and most importantly opening the door to the World market! After the fight Froch said 'I backed my intuition that Jermain Taylor was tired, He was badly hurt and not defending himself. He wasn't even looking at me, it was a great decision by the referee. My trainer Rob McCracken told me and I knew I had to have a big 12th round and I got it. Jermain Taylor was world class. This was my first defence in America and the first of my big fights."In a fitting tribute Taylor's promoter described Froch as strong as an Ox and someone who just keeps coming. The Cobra now moves to 25-0, with his 20th stoppage inside the distance, while Taylor dropped to to 27-3 with one drawn, losing for the third time in his last four fights. Perhaps now the UK Broadcasters may me tripping over one another to air Froch's second defence? What a shame we had to sit in front of our computers to witness one of the greatest middleweight defences ever by our only current World Boxing Champion. Cometh the 12th, cometh the man!P

low left attempting and mostly failing to surprise his man. The superior hand speed of Taylor seemed to stem the flow of F roch ' s more power fu l punches in the early rounds. By round eight Froch was again rocked by some fast combinations but by this time seemed to have weathered the storm. From the eighth round onwards Froch began to make in roads and the fatigue, which he was banking on pre fight, seemed to be taking its toll on Taylor. As the fight wore on Taylor attempted to steal rounds yet Froch kept coming and his power was beginning to tell. In the dramatic final round Froch finally got to Taylor – a left and a right finally

Notts PGA GolfRadcliffe-On-Trent Letter Wednesday 22nd April 2009

REVIEW OF NOTTS GOLF CLUBLocation & description: “After being too long away I lately went back to Hollinwell, which, as all the golfing world knows, or ought to know, is the course of the Notts Golf Club,” wrote Bernard Darwin in an article for Country Life. “On one side of it, there runs a pleasant wooded path by a series of lakes, and by this path Byron used to walk from Newstead to see Mary Chaworth at Annesley. Behind the course stands a hill covered with bracken from which Robin Hood used to watch for signals at Nottingham warning him that the Sheriff was setting out in pursuit. These are romantic circumstances, and I thrilled as I was told of them.”History: Hollinwell is so called because there is a holy well located amongst the trees close to the 8th fairway. Water from the well is said to lend much needed strength to the golfer, especially during the heat of summer. One of the British Isles' finest inland golf courses (currently ranked 9th in the inland rankings), Notts opened for play in 1887, originally designed by Willie Park Jnr. Modifications (primarily to bunkering) were later made

by John H Taylor, to whom the club paid the princely sum of five guineas for his services! The bunkers at Notts are relatively shallow, unlike some of the cavernous bunkers found at Woodhall Spa or Ganton. Perhaps the price of sand was factored into Taylor's wages!The course: The course plays across wonderfully undulating ground where some of the fairways sweep through wooded hillsides and where others run through heather, fern and gorse clad valleys. Unusually, there are a number of varieties of gorse at Notts, and even in the depths of winter, you will find some in flower. The course feels very much like heathland (the soil is sandy and the turf is spongy), but it also has a moorland flavour and a touch of woodland. Despite the varied landscape, this attractive course comes together really well and actually gets better and better as you progress from hole to hole. It is also worth mentioning that a great deal of effort is being put in to encourage the heather to return to its former glory. Signature holes: The pick of what is a long course, which is over 7,000 yards, has to be the 582 yard sixth, a great par five, the 408 yard eighth and the 13th, a terrific

228 yard par three, but look out for the huge rock which stands at the back of the second green and is known as Robin Hood's Chair. Heather and gorse line the fairways and surrounds the greens and there are silver birch and mature oaks as well plus lake which comes into play on occasion.Course Statistics: 18 holes, 7020 yards, S.S.S. 74.Pro: Mike Bradley is the Golf Professional supported by Assistants, Amy Goodman and Richard Reed. The staff provide a great service to members and visitors with lessons, club repairs and a good selection of golfing apparel from most of the leading brands. Facilities: Notts Golf Club is available for both Corporate Golf Days and visiting parties alike. Groups are treated individually to meet the requirements both for the golf and entertaining in our upstairs dining room which caters for in excess of 80 covers. Additionally Hollinwell have a smaller room 'Tom's Room' for more informal dining and claim to be highly experienced in the organisation of Corporate Days and have many existing clients who visit us annually.Buggy's: They are available although due to limited numbers it is advisable to pre – book your buggy to avoid disappointment.Prices: May - September: £70(18holes), £100(36holes) October: £60(18holes), £90(36holes) November: £50(18holes), £80(36holes) December: £45(18holes), £70(36holes) Visitors Info: Welcome on production of Handicap Certificate (weekends and Bank Holidays with member only). Advisable to book beforehand.Local Directions: Hollinwell is situated on the A611 3 miles south of Mansfield and 14 miles north of Nottingham and 2 miles from junction 27 M1.Address: Notts Golf Club, Derby Road, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire NG17 7QR.Tel: 01623 753225 Web: www.nottsgolfclub.co.uk

- This was significantly higher than the Scandinavians' total and is much higher than anything European and American runners generally do. This suggests that their training, rather than their genetics, are responsible for their success - this is something you can incorporate! 3) Kenyan runners - including the high schoolers - were more economical than the elite Scandinavians and also produced less lactate during high-speed running. - One of the best ways to boost economy is to train fast, and the Kenyans have the corner on intense training. - Fast training boosts the aerobic qualities of fast-twitch muscles and lowers their lactate output. This explains why the Kenyans have lower lactate levels during strenuous running. 4) The progression in VO2max values from adolescents to elite adult runners is the same in Kenyans as it is in Americans! BUT as high school Kenyans become elite senior runners, they increase their number of blood vessels per muscle cell and also enhance the concentrations of energy-producing aerobic enzymes inside their muscle cells. NEXT WEEK LOOK OUT FOR PART 2

and, more particularly, Kalenjin dominance of global distance running. Certainly, being born and living at the thin air at around 2000m helps. Athletes find themselves stronger, particularly when returning to the abundant oxygen at sea level.Are Kenyan’s genetically superior endurance runners?The most revealing study on this topic was carried out by the renowned Swedish exercise physiologist, Bengt Saltin, who compared Kenyan adolescents, Kenyan high school runners and elite Kenyan adult runners with top-level Scandinavian runners. Saltin unearthed a number of important facts. 1) Kenyan adolescents had exactly the same aerobic capacities as Danish teenagers.- If the Kenyans were really genetically superior, you would expect them to have a higher VO2max than their Scandinavian counterparts. There is hope for us all yet!2) Young Kenyan runners trained with astonishing intensity: About 50 to 60 percent of their total mileage was done at heart rates of 90 percent of maximum or higher!

This week BallsMania has teamed up with Concepts Personal Training Coach Martin Gooden who will talk about interesting sports topics each week. This week he begins by discussing the dominance of Kenyans in long distance running. This is part one of 3 in an interesting series of articles.It's a well known fact that Eastern African runners, in particular the Kenyans, have been dominating the distance running world for years and there have been many reasons put forward to explain why. However no one has really been able to settle upon any one particular explanation, which has lead to wide-scale confusion and often inaccurate or unfounded conclusions being drawn.This case study provides you with a clear and concise review of the theories behind Kenya’s dominance in endurance running. Each fascinating theory is complemented by an explanation so that by the end of the review you will be left with the ultimate guide to Kenyan success, for example:Born at altitudeThe most common reason put forward for the Kenyan
