We probably deserve to be bottom – Gary

BY CHRIS SWEET Gary Johnson admitted Yeovil Town deserved to be bottom of the Sky Bet Championship after Wigan Athletic inflicted the Glovers’ tenth defeat of the season.

Marc-Antoine Fortune’s second-half strike was enough to settle yet another clash at Huish Park where the hosts impressed before faltering in the final third.

The single-goal reverse leaves the manager of last season’s League One play-off winners with just nine points from 15 games and four points from safety entering next weekend’s international break.

Johnson said: “Some of them (in the squad) are still learning that Championship players are a little bit stronger and cleverer.

“Championship teams are stronger, quicker, sharper and that’s what we have got to look at right now.

“I’m not doom and gloom, but if you have got a team that’s bottom of the table after 15 games they probably deserve to be there.

Fortune favours Wigan as Glovers again lack that crucial cutting edge YEOVIL TN 0 WIGAN ATH 1

BY CHRIS SWEET Marc-Antoine Fortune’s strike meant Yeovil ended up with nothing from yet another frustrating afternoon.

The Latics looked a shadow of a side worthy of a Europa League spot, but again dealt the Glovers a harsh Sky Bet Championship lesson by inflicting a decisive blow with a moment of killer quality in the second half.

Yet again, the neutral would have left Huish Park full of praise for the hosts’ attacking play, only to lament another performance that lacked a threat in the final third.

Gary Johnson made three changes to the side defeated at Leeds, Paddy Madden starting ahead of Sam Hoskins.

Sam Foley came in for Liam Davis on the left wing and Luke Ayling replaced suspended Ed Upson, starting at right-back as Joe Edwards shifted to midfield.

Against opposition hunting in packs and quickly closing down the hosts, the Glovers started positively and earned a string of early corners.

However, the first clear chance did not arrive until the 13th minute when goalkeeper Lee Nicholls’ scuffed clearance

The Wigan Athletic players celebrate Marc-Antoine Fortune’s late winner at Huish Park yesterday fell to the feet of Madden. The Irishman tried his luck from distance, but the stopper managed to track back and save.

Moments later, Kevin Dawson almost latched on to Joe Ralls’ succulent delivery only for Nicholls to collect yards from his line.

On 20 minutes, Madden’s free-kick struck the wall and Edwards brought a fine diving stop from Nicholls with a sweetly-struck 25-yard effort from the rebound.

With the Glovers in control and rarely threatened by their

visitors, chances were hard to come by as the home team were happy to contain but not necessarily kick on.

The Latics finally showed their attacking threat as the half entered added-time, almost stretching Yeovil to breaking point at the back.

Unable to clear, Johnson’s men were indebted to goal-line clearances from Jamie McAllister and then Ayling to thwart Callum McManaman.

Marc Albrighton then scraped the crossbar from 20 yards.

Four minutes after the in-

terval, Wigan signalled their intent to improve when Fortune climbed above Ayling only to miss the target with his header.

On the hour, Wigan whipped a free-kick wide on the left to the far post and Emerson Boyce ghosted in to hit the side netting.

A minute later, Albrighton tested Wayne Hennessey from distance, the Welshman tipping around his near post.

Confusion reigned in the Yeovil area on 65 minutes when Byron Webster’s clear-

ance inadvertently left them in more trouble when pinball followed after it struck the back of a team-mate.

However, both Hennessey and Foley came to the Glovers’ rescue with a fine save and header off the line respectively.

After 73 minutes, Joe Ralls curled a free-kick around the defensive wall and Nicholls parried. The Cardiff loanee pounced on the half-clearance from the subsequent corner, his strike deflected behind.

Wigan dealt the sucker punch with 11 minutes left.

Substitute Grant Holt had barely been on the pitch five minutes when he turned in the area to set up Fortune sliding in at the far post.

Switching Webster from defence to attack failed to have the desired effect as Yeovil continued to fail to create clear goal-scoring chances.

Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson ularly well, but went away 1-0 winners.”

The boss added that his team continue not to get the rub of the green with match officials, accusing referee James Linington and his team of failing to crack down on Latics’ timewasting.

“If the referee came in here now I would say that any 50-50 decision we didn’t get,” he said.

“Not only were Wigan stopping our momentum when that was really good, at times the officials were stopping the momentum.

“They allowed them to take their time over everything when we were in the ascendancy. We’re starting to get a bit paranoid at the moment.

“I don’t think it’s just us being bad losers because I don’t think we’re getting anything from them.

“There were five substitutions and a yellow card in the second half. At 30 seconds each that’s three minutes. They only wasted one minute?

You’re having a laugh.”

On again failing to turn a dominant position into victory, Johnson said: “It seems like a lot of these interviews are very similar.

“It’s very frustrating. It looks like we’re not quite there when it comes to the top teams in the division, to get those goals at this level and create the opportunities.

“There’s always somebody in the opposition that pulls out something and they get a goal.”

WDP-E01-S3

I’ve told Jay he may have to go – O’Driscoll Bristol City head coach Sean O’Driscoll has warned the club’s supporters that he may have no choice but to sell topscorer Jay Emmanuel-Thomas in January.

Emmanuel-Thomas scored twice and staged another scintillating man-of-the-match performance as the Robins beat Dagenham & Redbridge 3-0 in the first round of the FA Cup at Ashton Gate.

The former Arsenal and Ipswich forward already has 14 goals to his name this season and is sure to attract interest from bigger clubs when the transfer window reopens for business in a little under two months from now.

Emmanuel-Thomas has quickly established himself as a fans’ favourite since moving to BS3 from Ipswich in the summer, but financial pressures will almost certainly force the Robins to cash in one their top asset if they receive an offer that is deemed acceptable in January.

O’Driscoll confirmed: “To be fair, I’ve already said to him ‘I need to sell you Jay’.

“We need to evolve the team and we can no longer look to (owner) Steve Lansdown and

Emmanuel-Thomas in cruise control as City dispatch Dagenham in style BRISTOL CITY 3 DAG/RED 0

BY ANDY STOCKHAUSEN Raised in the renowned youth Academy at Arsenal, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas harbours ambitions to return to English football’s top table sooner rather than later.

Although circumstance has contrived to cause him to drop down to League One with Bristol City, the 22-year-old Londoner is confident in his ability to one-day play in the Premier League.

It remains to be seen whether he can scale those dizzy heights after being released by the Gunners and moved on by Championship club Ipswich, but one thing is for sure, Emmanuel-Thomas is too good for the lower leagues.

Certainly, the task of shackling his outrageous talent proved beyond humble Dagenham & Redbridge, whose defenders were led a merry dance in this ultimately onesided FA Cup first round tie at Ashton Gate.

Emmanuel-Thomas scored City’s first and last , has 14 for the season and could well exceed 20 by the time the transfer window opens in January.

And therein lies the dilemma for a City team that has

become increasingly dependent upon the maverick forward for inspiration.

Given his performances so far this season, it is reasonable to assume bigger clubs will show an interest in a player who is finally realising his potential under the careful tutelage of Robins head coach Sean O’Driscoll.

And if and when the offers start to role in for EmmanuelThomas at the turn of the year, it is difficult to see how City will be able to do anything other than sell him to the highest bidder.

If anything, he is playing too well and it will be a major surprise if Championship clubs are not already monitoring his progress with a view to competing for his services.

While City fans will no doubt clamour for the former Arsenal prodigy to remain in BS3, the decision will be taken out of their hands by financial necessity. No longer big spenders, the Robins are in the business of buying young players at affordable prices and developing them to the point where they can be sold for a profit.

In the meantime, perhaps Ashton Gate regulars would be best advised to simply enjoy him while he continues to turn out for City.

There is no questioning his contribution since he signed in the summer. When City were

desperate to end an 11-match sequence without a win in League One, it was EmmanuelThomas who conjured a hattrick to inspire a 4-2 victory at Carlisle. His goal earned a 1-1 draw with Oldham seven days later and he was again on the score-sheet as City beat Crawley 2-0 to register a first league success on home soil in eight months.

On this occasion, his twogoal salvo booked the Robins

Bristol City front man Sam Baldock worked hard for the team safe passage into the second round of the FA Cup. You could only feel sorry for League Two opponents who did their utmost to conjure an upset during the opening 25 minutes without managing to get their noses in front.

Dagenham midfielder Luke Howell was twice denied, Aden Flint clearing his shot off the line and goalkeeper Elliot Parish making a fine diving save to keep out another effort as the visitors caused City problems.

Rhys Murphy was narrowly

off target with a bullet header and worried City fans were beginning to at least ponder the possibility of a shock when Emmanuel-Thomas intervened with telling effect to alter the course of the game 11 minutes before half-time.

Bobby Reid, Scott Wagstaff and Brendan Moloney between them conjured the most incisive move of the first half to present the top-scorer with a clear sight of goal and his shot took a helpful deflection on its way past wrongfooted goalkeeper Chris Lewington.

Thereafter, City’s hegemony was rarely threatened and, in the second half, it became a matter of when rather than if they would add to their goal tally.

Numerous chances were created and spurned before substitute Marvin Elliott profited from Marlon Pack’s incisive foray into the opposition penalty area three minutes from time, turning in his third goal of the season from close range.

City’s superiority against a Dagenham side that permitted them far too much space was confirmed when EmmanuelThomas beat Lewington with his unerring left-foot in time added on at the end of what had become a one-sided contest.

Emmanuel-Thomas may be difficult to play against, but he

is also difficult to play with and his fellow strikers tend to be overshadowed.

None more so than Sam Baldock, who worked tirelessly to create room for his attacking side-kick.

In accordance with his role as captain, the former West Ham and MK Dons marksman was prepared to run the channels and chase countless lost causes for the benefit of the team.

Emmanuel-Thomas took quite rightly took the plaudits, but Baldock’s contribution should not be overlooked.

He boasts a proven goal-scoring record at this level when deployed alongside a target man and O’Driscoll will hardly need reminding that a Ryan Taylor/Baldock axis could potentially serve City just as well as the their talismanic topscorer.

More than anything else, that single factor could seal Emmanuel-Thomas’s departure in the new year.

Bristol City head coach Sean O’Driscoll say ‘Give us this and give us that’. We need to generate our own money.

“From a financial point of view, we can no longer sit back and wait for Steve Lansdown to bail us out. He’s put his 50 million quid in and now he wants a return.

“We’re starting from scratch and I keep saying that Bristol City the club is not Bristol City the team.

“Jay is well known in football circles and he will need to go to a club that is going to nurture him. People will look at him now and there will be interest.”

Although EmmanuelThomas has his critics, among them Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy, who allowed him to join City in a swap deal that saw Paul Anderson move to Portman Road, O’Driscoll appears to have found a way to bring out the best in the former Arsenal man.

“There are plenty of people who are prepared to tell you what he can’t do and that is an English disease,” said City’s head coach. “I’m more concerned in what he can do and I feel we are getting the best out of him.

“He has to fit into a team pattern and he has done that here. We give him a free role and he does good things.”

He added: “I would have liked to have kept Paul Anderson and signed Jay as well, but that was not possible. I just thought Jay would score more goals and create more chances to be honest.”

Cooper is shell-shocked as Swindon are left humiliated by Macclesfield MACCLESFIELD 4 SWINDON TN 0

BY NEIL GOULDING Swindon boss Mark Cooper apologised to the supporters after his side crashed out of the FA Cup with a whimper.

The off-form Robins were thrashed 4-0 at Conference Premier side Macclesfield at the Moss Ross Stadium.

A brace from Connor Jennings and other goals from Scott Boden and Peter Winn did the damage for the hosts as Cooper’s men fell badly at the first hurdle.

“I can only say sorry to the supporters who came to watch us because it wasn’t good enough,” said Cooper.

“There’s not much I can say after that. In the second half we just collapsed for whatever reason. I feel for our fans.

They’ve been great so far this season and we’ve all let them down badly.

“We never got going at all and we all need to look long and hard in the mirror because that’s just not good enough.

“We have to try to digest the result and just try to be constructive.

“We do have a young group of players, but we can’t use that as an excuse. They’ve got take responsibility and stop hiding behind myself and other things. It’s just happened too many times now.

“Full credit to Macclesfield.

They deserved to win the game. They were very good.

“We had a spell after halftime where we looked as though we would get back into the game, but the goals we conceded were ridiculously poor and individual mistakes.

“If you concede late goals like that you’ll get beat, no

doubt about it. It just wasn’t good enough.”

There might have been 55 league places between the two sides ahead of kick-off, but Macclesfield enjoyed the better of the first half.

They went in front after 26 minutes when Danny Rowe sneaked behind the defence and crossed for Jennings to coolly side-foot past Tyrell Belford.

Either side of the opening goal, the Silkmen came close on a number of occasions.

Rowe forced an excellent finger-tip save from Belford before Winn drilled a low shot narrowly wide.

The Robins disappointed, but came close to a leveller just before the interval as loanman Alex Pritchard curled a free-kick inches wide.

The hosts truly cut loose during what turned out to be a truly memorable second-half

demolition job. After Winn had seen a well-struck shot beaten away by Belford, Macclesfield doubled their lead with 20 minutes to go. Boden broke free of Swindon’s shaky back line before beating Belford with an angled shot.

Hero Jennings then turned tormentor again as he cheekliy chipped the advancing Belford to make it three four minutes later.

Swindon were already down and out by the time Winn coolly slotted home to complete a scarcely believable rout in the 89th minute.

Cue the almighty celebrations on the final whistle.

Robins boss Cooper was understandably shell-shocked after watching his side crumble in the second half, especially having beaten by the same opposition at the same stage 12 months earlier.

“The players know what’s

gone wrong and things will have to change, especially away,” stressed Cooper.

“Of course we’re alarmed by what’s happened. It would be me burying my head in the sand if I wasn’t alarmed.

“We can’t going from being Barcelona last week and everyone jumping up and down (about the way we played) to how were against Macc.

“We have to make sure it doesn’t happen again and get back to hard work.”

Fitchett hits a crucial double to send the Darts bouncing out SALISBURY CITY 4 DARTFORD 2 Salisbury produced a terrific first-half display to dump lowly Dartford out of the FA Cup and book a second round clash at either Shortwood or Port Vale.

The six-goal bonanza began inside the first ten minutes through the dangerous Dan Fitchett.

The front man demonstrated

his prolific capability after lashing home a neat one-two with Chris McPhee.

An abysmal clearance from Darts’ left-back Matt Fry led to Salisbury’s second, which came six minutes later.

Elliott Frear’s looping cross was headed by Fry onto the foot of Ben Wright and he made no mistake by thumping the half-volley from ten yards into the net.

Salisbury ultimately pulled

the plug on Darts’ FA Cup dreams on the stroke of halftime. This time, Frear, whose running at the far post proved fruitful, directed home Fitchett’s driven cross.

The visitors had a mountain to climb in the second half, but a potent consolation goal from skipper Lee Burns gave them a glimmer of hope with just over 20 minutes remaining.

Sadly for the Darts, those dreams were dashed as Fitch-

ett, who along with Wright and Angus MacDonald got an England C team call-up in the week, completed his brace with 13 minutes to go.

Max Cornhill netted an injury-time jab at the far post, but the damage was done.

Whites boss Mikey Harris said: “We wanted to get through at the first time of asking and we did.

Salisbury, who picked up a cheque for £18,000 from the FA

prize fund for winning, will play the second round tie on December 7 or 8.

Gloucester were defeated but not disgraced as they took League Two leaders Fleetwood to the limit in a pulsating FA Cup first round tie.

There were 46 shots in total between the sides, but only two mattered as a deflected effort from David Ball and a gamekiller from Jon Parkin late on sealed the win.

Steven Schumacher missed a penalty midway through the first-half which gave Dave Mehew’s battling troops the opportunity to test the Lancashire club with Jordan Goddard and Darren Edwards’ both having brilliant opportunities to equalise.

However, it was not meant to be as City’s FA Cup run came up short in the first round for a second year running.

Playing expansive football against a top League Two side, though, gives food for thought for what promises to be a tough league campaign.

The Tigers roared into action on seven minutes, but Matt Liddiard scuffed his shot

Jon Parkin settled matters late on after Tyler Weir had whizzed a teasing cross in the area.

The breakthrough was made on 11 minutes with Ball shooting from outside the area beating Mike Green to stun the home fans.

A rash tackle from Gloucester’s other Mike Green brought down Jeff Hughes for a penalty, but Schumacher, who was lucky to be on the pitch after a scuffle with Tom Webb, stepped up and slammed his penalty against the post with goalkeeper Green getting the slightest touch.

The second half proved to be a different proposition; the Tigers were rampant as they looked for an equaliser.

Teenage striker Joe Parker came on and looked sharp as he played in Edwards soon after his introduction, but the talismanic striker blasted wide of the target.

However, with City pushing forward, inevitable gaps began to appear and Parkin muscled his way through the City defence after a ball from deep, skipped past Green and knocked home to effectively kill the game.

Don’t call me super-sub, says Harrold BRISTOL ROVERS 3 YORK CITY 3

BY JAMES MCNAMARA Matt Harrold says he is keen to avoid the tag of ‘super-sub’ after scoring with his first touch when coming off the bench in the FA Cup first round clash against York at the Memorial Stadium on Friday.

Harrold got his head on a Lee Brown set-piece delivery to level the game up before the two sides eventually shared the spoils to set up a replay at Bootham Crescent on Tuesday, November 19.

It marked a return to action for Harrold, who also scored a last-minute equaliser when coming off the bench in the final game of last season against Torquay, following six games out with a groin injury.

“I’ve scored a few coming off the bench before, but never one with my first touch,” said Harrold. “It was lovely to see the ball hit the back of the net because you want to have an effect on a game whenever you come off the bench.

“I understand why I was a substitute on Friday night, but I don’t want to be labelled with that ‘super-sub’ tag because you always want to be playing from the start.”

Ryan Jarvis scored from close range to put York ahead, before Eliot Richards’ low drive brought Rovers level within two minutes.

Josh Carson’s 30-yard volley put the visitors ahead again, while headers from Harrold and loan signing Chris Beardsley looked to have won it for the hosts.

However, Wes Fletcher’s late close-range finish secured the draw for York.

“It was a really good game,” Harrold said. “I thought we played really well in the second half, but the way the game ended was frustrating for us.

“We had a real go and we were on the front foot for the majority of the game. We were

positive in everything we did and I thought we deserved the win, but that’s football and that is the FA Cup.” Goalkeeper Steve Mildenhall was guilty of a mistake that gifted York their late leveller after letting a Lanre Oyebanjo up and under slip through his fingers to allow Fletcher a simple opportunity, but Harrold said: “I’ve played with Mildy before at Southend, so I know what a big character he is.

“He might have had a bit of trouble sleeping on Friday night, but I don’t think it will worry him too much in the long run because he has been one of our best players since he came to the club.

“It is similar to when I missed the penalty at Dagenham a few weeks back. You feel guilty for all of the lads and the manager and everything, but Mildy has held his hands up and that’s the end of it.”

Harrold, meanwhile, is hoping to fully shake off the groin problems that have hampered his availability in the early part of this season after missing the majority of the last campaign due to a serious knee injury.

“It felt great to be back out there,” he said. “A couple of weeks ago I was feeling pretty low because I couldn’t see myself coming back so quickly as my groin felt very dodgy.

“It is a bit of tendinitis on the muscle and is something I’ll just have to try to manage. It’s an overuse thing and I’ll have to take it easy at times, but I’m hoping that with time it will fade away.”

York replay will be a tough one, admits Rovers manager Ward Bristol Rovers boss John Ward knows his side faces a sizeable task if they are to make it as far as the third round of this season’s FA Cup competition.

Rovers were yesterday handed a home game against League One side Crawley – to be played on Saturday, December 7 – but must first see off York in a first round replay at Bootham Crescent on November 19 after the two sides finished level at the Memorial Stadium on Friday night.

“I can’t even get on to looking as far ahead as Crawley until we have tried to win the replay at York,” Ward said.

“That will be a tough one for us because York won their last home game 4-1 against Scunthorpe United.

“Winning at Oxford in our last away game gives us a lift, however, and now we will have to go to York and try to produce a similar type of performance.

“We have to deal with that game first and foremost, but, in terms of the second round, you are always happy when you get handed a home game.

“We have two tough games in front of us, but our form has been encouraging and things are achievable in the cup.”

Ward, meanwhile, came out

Bristol Rovers manager John Ward

in support of Steve Mildenhall after the goalkeeper’s mistake gifted York a late equaliser in Friday night’s thrilling clash.

Mildenhall contrived to let Lanre Oyebanjo’s hopeful up and under slip through his fingers to offer York substitute Wes Fletcher a simple tap-in to make it 3-3 with four minutes of normal time remaining.

Mildenhall, who has arguably been Ward’s best signing since the manager took charge at the club last Christmas, apologised to his team-mates for the error at full-time, and Ward said: “Steve has been my most consistent player both in

games and at training since I have been here.

“There have been a number of games in which we have not conceded and he has pretty much been responsible for that. There is no way I am going to complain about him, he is a great professional.”

Ward added: “We’re all disappointed because we were within minutes of winning the game.

“There are a huge amount of positives to take from the game and I feel that there has been a lot of improvement and that we have moved on in recent weeks.”

Northampton survived a scare as goals from Danny Emerton and Luke Norris secured a 2-1 win at non-league Bishop’s Stortford to book a place in the second round of the FA Cup yesterday.

The Skrill South outfit threatened a late comeback when Reece Prestedge fired home with nine minutes to go, but League Two’s bottom side held on for just their third win of the season.

On Saturday, Portsmouth suffered a first-round exit for the second successive year as the club that triumphed at Wembley in 2008 slumped to defeat at Stevenage.

The hosts were two goals up and had a man advantage before Portsmouth made a game of it at Broadhall Way. Stevenage took a two-goal lead with a pair of goals from Francois Zoko in the first half and Gavin Mahon’s dismissal early in the second half looked to kill Portsmouth’s hopes.

They narrowed their deficit when David Connolly struck in the 71st minute, but the score stayed that way as League One strugglers Stevenage clinched victory over their League Two opponents.

Amy Fearn made FA Cup history as she became the first woman to referee a match in the main draw of the competition, overseeing Dover’s 2-1 victory at Corby.

The 35-year-old, who has refereed in the Football League, had a satisfyingly uneventful game as Dover won 2-1 in Northamptonshire with goals from Nathan Elder and Chris Kinnear. Corby’s late reply came from Chris Carruthers.

When St Albans of the Calor Southern League Premier Division went one goal up against League Two side Mansfield, a cup shock looked a possibility.

Come full-time, however, St Albans were nursing their wounds after taking an 8-1 drubbing, with Sam Clucas scoring four times in the final 20 minutes, the magic of the cup having well and truly faded.

Conference North outfit Brackley went closer as they faced Gillingham, taking the lead at Priestfield Stadium with a Joe Martin own goal in the 69th minute, but conceding a stoppage-time leveller to home substitute Bradley Dack that will force a replay.

Oxford needed a late leveller to force a 2-2 draw against nonleague Gateshead.

Cheltenham dumped out of the cup as former trailist Chadwick strikes TAMWORTH 1 CHELTENHAM 0

BY JON PALMER Cheltenham Town suffered the ignominy of an FA Cup upset for the first time as a Football League club as Tamworth increased the pressure on boss Mark Yates.

Nick Chadwick, a former Robins trialist, scored the only goal of the game in the 20th minute following a pass by exCheltenham striker Justin Richards.

There have been times when Yates has been left to rue inexplicable mistakes on the pitch that have cost his team dear in League Two this season, but on this occasion he picked the wrong team resulting in an insipid first-half performance at The Lamb.

Cheltenham were comprehensively outplayed by a team who appeared to want a place in the second round far more.

The decision to play leftback Craig Braham-Barrett on

the right backfired, while Sam Deering struggled in the deeper lying midfield role left vacant by the suspended David Noble.

Picked ahead of Sido Jombati, Braham-Barrett allowed a simple pass to him roll out of play early on, setting the tone for the opening half and he did not look at all comfortable in his unfamiliar position.

Cheltenham’s ball retention anywhere near the Tamworth half was non-existent as possession was repeatedly given away cheaply and both their centre-halves and centre forwards struggled to cope with the physical challenge posed by the non-league side.

The first warning shot was fired in the tenth minute when cultured left-back Tony Capaldi’s free-kick was not dealt with and Andy Todd smashed an effort against the bar.

Mark Wright waltzed past some half-hearted challenges and shot over before Tamworth took a deserved lead.

Braham-Barrett was caught

in possession by Justin Richards and, after the ball was delivered into the box, Richards set up Chadwick for a neat finish past Scott Brown.

Cheltenham struggled to make any headway until the final minute of the first half, when Jamie Cureton exchanged passes with Byron Harrison to make space for a shot in the box, but his effort rolled wide of the far post.

Terry Gornell, operating in an attacking midfield position, saw a header saved by Cameron Belford in stoppagetime, but Tamworth deservedly went in one goal up.

Yates responded by replacing skipper Russ Penn with experienced centre-half Steve Elliott, who returned to the pitch for the first time since the 4-2 defeat at Torquay United on September 21.

Matt Richards moved into midfield, Braham-Barrett reverted to left-back and Deering was pushed out to the right.

There had been no less than five players operating some-

where other than their favoured position in the first half, but the second period was far better all-round.

Elliott headed a long throw from Lowe wide in the 50th minute before forcing Belford into his best save of the match nine minutes later with an overhead kick that was touched over the bar.

Tamworth were forced to withstand heavy pressure, but Cheltenham looked susceptible on the break.

A long throw from Capaldi almost led to a goal for Richards, but he misdirected his header and Todd smashed the rebound off target.

Cureton wasted a good opening in the 69th minute, lifting the ball over the advancing Belford, but he did not make a clean contact and it bobbled wide of the empty net.

Harrison and Gornell both scuffed shots from promising positions and numerous halfchances were snatched at as time began to run out.

Brown made an excellent

block to deny David Morgan, while Richards also failed to capitalise on a clear sight of goal after a counter-attack.

Cheltenham screamed for a penalty in the third minute of time added-on when Lowe appeared to be tripped by Ben Richards-Everton, but referee Richard Clark said no.

Yates’ reign has taken in memorable FA Cup occasions against Southampton, Tottenham and Everton, but there will be no adventure this time around as Cheltenham were on the receiving end of their worst result in the competition for 18 years.

Result is massively disappointing for everyone, admits Yates Mark Yates admits he is facing one problem after another with his current Cheltenham squad as they were dumped out of the FA Cup in the first round by Tamworth.

With Cheltenham lying 18th in League Two, Yates’ strongest XI and formation are still far from clear over three months into the campaign.

But he remains adamant he is the man to turn around what has been a hugely-disappoint-

ing start, after back-to-back play-off appearances in the last two seasons.

“I have no doubt about my ability and I don’t think that is in question,” Yates said.

“We sort one thing out and something else happens with this group and this result is massively disappointing for everyone at the club.

“We have to pick ourselves up, but we need a long hard look at ourselves now. We are

Cheltenham Town boss Mark Yates

not kidding ourselves that we are in a good place, but there is not a great deal wrong.

“We have to tweak one or two things and instil more desire when it matters. We can’t give that to the players, but we can demand more and more.

“We’ll persevere, the penny will drop and we’ll pick the right team.”

Yates blasted his team for not standing up to the physical challenge of Tamworth, who

deservedly progressed to round two.

“My centre-halves were bullied in the first half and my front two were not in the game,” Yates said.

“One average ball into our box and we’ve conceded another goal we shouldn’t have.

“We let ourselves down in the first half, but we re-jigged it and had chances, when we haven’t had enough desire to put the ball in the net.”

Bradford extended their lead at the top of the First Division to 12 points after their victory at Devizes and Wellington’s failure to beat Almondsbury UWE. The table-toppers triumphed 3-0 with Steve Hulbert and Dan King scoring in the opening minutes before King added another shortly before half-time.

Cribbs moved up to second with a 1-0 home win over Barnstaple, Jordan Yeo getting the goal in a game where both sides had a man sent off.

Wellington dropped to third following their 0-0 draw at home to Almondsbury, while Wincanton were 4-1 home winners over Corsham to move up to fifth position.

Matt Peters’ opener was soon cancelled-out by James Chevellou, but Peters struck twice more to complete his hattrick and Lee Gale added a fourth for the hosts.

The highest-scoring game of the day came in the basement battle at Keynsham, where the home side won 6-4 to exchange places with Portishead.

Pat Davidson and Ryan Ashwood put Keynsham two goals up before Nick Steadman cut the deficit from the spot.

Davidson restored the twogoal lead after the break, but Mark Mapstone and Charlie Aldom pulled Portishead level before Szymon Gromek put the hosts back in front.

Keynsham finally put the game to bed as Ashwood notched a quick-fire double for his hat-trick before Simon Kelly rounded off the scoring with the visitors’ fourth goal.

Having conceded six goals and seen his side sink to the foot of the table, Portishead goalkeeper-boss Lee Ballard resigned after the game.

Roman Glass came from behind to beat Chippenham Park 2-1 with Drew HamiltonDunn and Paul Coles replying to Mark Robinson’s opener.

Elsewhere, Chard beat Warminster 2-1, while Calne and Westbury drew 1-1.

The games between Ashton & Backwell and Shepton Mallet, Chard and Wells; and Oldland and Welton were all postponed.

In the Premier Division, leaders Larkhall maintained their advantage at the head of affairs with a battling 3-2 home victory over Willand.

Scott Lye and Ross Lye replied to David Steele’s penalty opener for the visitors, but Craig Veal tied things up again before Mark Wall won the game for the hosts.

Second-placed Gillingham beat Bishop Sutton 2-0 courtesy of a Steve Smith double, while Odd Down came from behind to beat bottom-of-thetable Slimbridge 2-1 with Kye Simpson scoring twice.

Melksham beat Sherborne 4-2 and Bridport triumphed at Ilfracombe by the same score.

The matches between Bitton and Winterbourne, Brislington and Hengrove, Bristol Manor Farm and Longwell Green, Cadbury Heath and Buckland; and Hallen and Street were all postponed.

Trio sent off as Cirencester win

Collier starts with a victory

CIRENCESTER TOWN 4 MERTHYR TOWN 1

CHIPPENHAM TOWN 1 CAMBRIDGE CITY 0

Cirencester moved into second place in Division One South & West of the Calor Southern League after victory over eight-man Merthyr.

Ian Traylor fired the Welsh side ahead three minutes before the break, but teammate Dan Summerfield was sent off before half-time.

Shayne Anson equalised for Cirencester early in the second half and Merthyr’s Aaron Cornwall was then dismissed for a bad tackle.

Aidan Bennett put the home side in front and Lee Smith then made it three.

Shane Bumphrey grabbed the hosts’ fourth goal before the visitors’ Kayne McClaggon was sent off for arguing with a referee’s assistant.

■ Cirencester visit Swindon Supermarine in the Red Insure Cup tomorrow (7.45pm).

Mark Collier and Tom Jones’ management partnership got off to the ideal start as a rejuvenated Chippenham side recorded their first Calor Southern League Premier Division win since September.

The noisy crowd reflected the new found optimism at Hardenhuish Park and they were rewarded two minutes before the break when Lee Phillips scored the winning goal.

Collier was generous in his praise of the whole team’s attitude and work-rate, none more deserving than centrebacks Ross Adams and Shane Blackmore, who kept third placed Cambridge at bay.

In a first half of Chippenham dominance, Alan Griffin had four chances, the closest being a powerful header that he directed straight at City goalkeeper Zac Barrett.

At the other end, on-loan Forest Green Rovers custodian Matt Bulman was far less busy, but he did pull of a superb save to tip over Lee Chaffey’s closerange header.

After the break, Cambridge came more into the game, but the home defence held resolute. The visitors’ best chance fell to Adam Marriott, whose shot again drew a fine save from Bulman.

Chippenham created several chances themselves with Joe McClennan’s fierce drive bouncing off Barrett only for Griffin’s follow up header to lack power and Barrett recovered to save.

In the final minutes, the Bluebirds were adamant Tom Pepper handled on the line, but referee Mark Derrien waved their pleas away.

Powell powers Mangotsfield WIMBORNE TOWN 0 MANGOTSFIELD UNITED 1 Lewis Powell hit the deciding goal as Mangotsfield took a fine away victory at Wimborne in Division One South & West of the Calor Southern League.

Visiting goalkeeper Kevin Sawyer was called upon to make a very important save around the half-hour mark, but, at the other end, Ryan Bath and Josh Egan’s direct running caused the Magpies’ defence plenty of problems.

The deciding moment came in the 76th minute when Ashley Williams and Neil Arndale combined to set up Powell, who crashed home a superb shot from the edge of the penalty area.

United almost had a second when Shaun Lamb drove a shot against the woodwork as the visitors finished strongly and continued their climb up the league table.

Shortwood United chairman Peter Webb prepares to welcome Port Vale to the club’s Meadowbank ground

PICTURE: SIMON PIZZEY

We’re going to Shortwood to win, says boss Adams Port Vale will show the utmost respect to FA Cup first round opponents Shortwood United, but manager Micky Adams is in no doubt that victory is a must for his side.

The former Fulham and Leicester boss has insisted that his side’s trip to Meadowbank should hold no fears for his team of professionals.

Adams watched Wood defeat Aldershot in the fourth qualifying round and, while he was

impressed with what he saw, he knows his side should come away with a victory.

“We want to pay Shortwood the utmost respect, as we have done in our preparation, and pick a team to go there to win the game,” Adams said.

“Shortwood shouldn’t hold any fears for us, let’s get that straight. I’m not going say that anything other than a win would be good enough, because it won’t be. Forget bring-

ing them back here for a replay, that is far from my thoughts.

“I want to be nice and positive, I want my team to get a positive vibe from the management that we are going down there to win the game.

“Not being disrespectful to Shortwood, I think we are better than them, we are a professional outfit and we want to go there and show them that.”

Like Aldershot before them, Vale have done extensive

scouting on Shortwood, not just on the team, but on the way to get to Meadowbank and the facilities on offer.

Like supporters heading to the game, the Vale players will have to utilise the free park and ride buses to get to the ground, but Adams said that cannot and will not be used as an excuse.

“I am not going to accept any excuses. It is 11 versus 11, let’s see who is the best,” he added.

Hereford unable to find a spark as Brewers progress BURTON ALBION 2 HEREFORD UNITED 0 Hereford’s dream of another FA Cup run came to an end in the first round at the Pirelli Stadium when Burton beat them with goals from Adam McGurk and Matthew Palmer.

Burton’s leading marksman McGurk set up the Brewers victory when he scored their first goal in the 36th minute.

Although Martin Foyle’s men fought hard to snatch an equaliser in the second half, the Brewers struck again when Palmer claimed their second goal with six minutes remaining.

Hereford suffered a prematch set-back with skipper Luke Graham being ruled out with a foot injury.

Burton were the first to have an attempt on goal with Phil Edwards crashing the ball against the crossbar from a corner taken by Palmer in the sixth minute.

The Brewers kept the pres-

sure on with Zander Diamond shooting wide of the Hereford goalmouth a minute later.

Hereford replied with central defender Rod McDonald heading a free-kick from Frankie Artus over the Burton

Hereford lost goalkeeper Rhys Evans crossbar after Dan Walker had been fouled by Robbie Weir.

McDonald then blocked a shot from McGurk, who also forced a save from United goalkeeper Rhys Evans.

Defender Chris Leadbitter then came to United’s rescue with a timely tackle on Chris Hussey as the Brewers pushed forward again.

Hereford rallied with Rob

Purdie chipping the ball into the Brewers penalty area, while a shot from Michael Rankine was blocked by a defender.

Ian Sharps then made a timely clearance to cut out a cross from Leadbitter before a shot from Palmer flashed wide of the Hereford goalmouth.

Hussey and Billy Kee both had chances to break the deadlock when they cleared the crossbar as play continued to switch from end to end before Burton went in front in the 36th minute.

A corner from Hussey found McGurk, who lashed the ball past Evans and into the net from close range.

Burton then went close to doubling their advantage before the interval with both Weir and McGurk just failing to find the target.

At the start of the second half, Hereford were forced to withdraw goalkeeper Evans and he was replaced by former Cheltenham stopper Daniel

Lloyd-Weston. The replacement was quickly into the action as he saved from Damien McCory, while a 25yard drive from Josh O’Keefe was well saved by Burton goalkeeper Dean Lyness.

Hereford continued to force the tempo with Artus lobbing a long range effort wide of the target, while a shot from Leadbitter flashed wide.

But Burton struck again against the run of play with six minute left when Palmer drilled the ball past LloydWeston to clinch the victory.

Fortune favours battling Frome ARLESEY TOWN 1 FROME TOWN 2 Frome rode their luck at times at Arlesey, but some tenacious defending ensured that they took all three points from this Calor Southern League Premier Division fixture.

A bright start from both sides saw end-to-end action in the first 20 minutes, but it was Frome who opened the scoring as a perfect through-ball from Rhys Baggridge allowed Ben Wood to run on and finish.

Frome made it two in the 51st minute as Matt Smith and Wood interchanged with Smith shooting home through the legs of Adam Lawrence from 12 yards.

The hosts pulled one back in the 65th minute as Ryan Frater headed home a corner setting up an interesting finale.

Arlesey’s Kim Forsythe was guilty of an incredible miss as he headed a right-wing cross wide from five yards out before Barry Hayles repeated the feat in injury-time as Frome hung on for three hard-won points.

Clevedon come well off the rails

Town produce great fightback

DIDCOT TOWN 6 CLEVEDON TOWN 2

PAULTON ROVERS 2 TAUNTON TOWN 3

Clevedon hit the buffers at Didcot as the Railwaymen hit them for six in Division One South & West of the Calor Southern League.

It had all looked good for the visitors when, with barely two minutes played, they went ahead. Matt Thorne saw his shot deflected wide by Taylor Janes, but from the resulting corner Ibrahima Diallo set up Reeko Best, who fired under the body of goalkeeper Kieran Beesley.

That was as good as it got for Clevedon, though, with Didcot levelling the scores four minutes later, Kameron Abbassi’s shot taking a wicked deflection off Sam Teale to wrong foot on-loan goalkeeper Joe Woollacott.

On 15 minutes the hosts were in front. A corner from Ben Whitehead was met by Luke Carnell, who headed in.

Four minutes into the second period, Clevedon fell further behind. A slip by Diallo saw Whitehead collect the ball and he fed John Mills, who slipped the ball home.

A foul on Abbassi three minutes later gave Pablo Haysham the chance to extend the home side’s lead from the penalty spot, which he did.

It was Haysham who grabbed a fifth for Didcot on 78 minutes, getting on the end of a Mills cross.

Thorne pulled a goal back five minutes from time, converting a penalty after Best had been brought down, but Clevedon’s misery was completed straight from the kickoff when Whitehead fired home after good work by Jack Longford.

Taunton scored three secondhalf goals to earn an unlikely victory at high-flying Paulton, who threw away a two-goal lead in Division One South & West of the Calor Southern League.

The free-flowing game saw home goalkeeper Kyle Phillips save twice from Chris Young and Nat Pepperall.

Rovers went ahead in the 33rd minute following Brandon Barnes’ corner on the right, which was flicked on by Ollie Price and put away by Nick McCootie.

Six minutes later, Paulton made it two when debutant Darren Jefferies set up Barnes to blast home.

The hosts were then denied what appeared to be a penalty as McCootie outpaced the defence and was tripped from behind by Ben Mammola, but the referee ruled that it had been a fair tackle.

Taunton came out a different side in the second half and dominated for long periods.

They were rewarded after 63 minutes when Andy Robertson drove home and nine minutes later Steve Murray scored with another great shot.

Taunton pressed further and Simon Ingram hit the winner in the 81st minute to delight of the visiting spectators.

Bridgwater are denied late on BRIDGWATER TOWN 1 EVESHAM UNITED 1 Bridgwater ended a run of three successive defeats, but perhaps ought to have taken all three points against Evesham in Division One South & West of the Calor Southern League.

The home side appeared to be heading for a much-needed victory when Evesham grabbed an equaliser right on 90 minutes.

Bridgwater only had themselves to blame, though. They dominated the first half, but could only score once – in the 25th minute through striker Mitchell Page, who returned to the side after a one-match ban.

He had earlier hit a post.

Two minutes after this goal, top-scorer Joe Bushin missed a golden chance to put Town two goals up, directing his header wide of the target.

Evesham stepped up their game in the second half and Bridgwater goalkeeper Chris Wright pulled off a couple of smart saves, but could not prevent Lindon Dovey grabbing a last-gasp equaliser with a low shot following a corner.

■ Bridgwater are back in action tomorrow when they play Tiverton away in the Red Insure Cup (7.45pm).

The visitors shaded the first half with Yate defender Joe Chandler getting back to clear an Ed Palmer effort off the line, while Max Kowal was denied

Yate’s Ross Staley hit the bar

by a good save from home goalkeeper Martin Horsell.

Yate started the second half brightly and were rewarded with a 55th-minute goal, Jake Jackson netting from the spot after he had been held back in the penalty area by Tiverton goalkeeper Lloyd Irish.

After going close with a freekick, Sam Malsom got the Tiverton equaliser as he beat the unsighted Horsell with a

low drive into the corner. Yate, with Chandler and Mitch Harrison playing well in the centre of defence, then had the better of the chances as both sides looked for the winner.

Jordan Rogers had a goalbound effort blocked and Ross Staley hit the Tiverton bar with a swirling corner kick.

Two-goal Ball hails the Bath defence after away triumph DORCHESTER TOWN 0 BATH CITY 2 He may have scored a rare double, but Dan Ball believes it was Bath’s defensive display – and a first clean sheet of the league season – that was the biggest plus to come out of their win at Dorchester in the Skrill South.

The only other occasions City have kept the opposition at bay during 2013-14 were the FA Cup victories over Gosport and Bridgwater.

“I think the clean sheet is the most important thing to come out of today,” said Ball.

“I think that’s the first one in the league. If you don’t concede, you don’t lose, so we have to keep more.

“We went through a run where we were playing okay but not winning, then a spell of not doing well in the first half but better in the second.

“Now we are putting performances together for the whole 90 minutes.

“I think we’ve worked each

other out (as players) and we know what we’re good at.”

However, the win was marred by a 58th-minute red card for winger Ross Stearn, with last week’s hat-trick hero being sent off for his reaction to a cynical body-check from

Dan Ball struck twice for Bath City home centre-back Ashley Vickers.

The visitors were quickly into their stride, taking the lead after just three minutes when Dave Pratt’s looping cross was emphatically headed past goalkeeper Alan WalkerHarris by the onrushing Ball.

It was a dream start for City and a nightmare for Dorchester, who are bottom of the table

after losing most of the players who helped them to a best-ever league finish last season.

The reason for the departures is a 60 per cent cut in the playing budget by the controlling community trust, who are keen to encourage the use of more homegrown players.

However, it was one of those youngsters who was at fault for the second goal, with Tony Rolls being outjumped at the back post as Ball nodded in his second goal from a Stearn freekick.

Dorchester tried to get back into the game and Brandon Goodship had a shot well saved

by Jason Mellor at his near post, while Jake Smeeton headed narrowly wide.

Neil Martin then put a backpass straight out for a corner, which was only cleared as far as Dan Bowman.

His chipped cross was deflected towards his own goal by Steve Walker, forcing an excellent reaction save by Walker-Harris.

The second half started with

both Pratt and Ball heading over from corners, while Bowman made a great interception at the other end when the ball looked to be breaking for Goodship.

The subsequent clearance found Stearn, who knocked the ball past Vickers and was cynically body-checked by his opponent.

The Dorchester defender was booked, but Stearn was shown a straight red by referee Adrian Quelch for his reaction to the challenge.

Dorchester, sniffing an opening, sent on Harry Bell and Jamie Beasley, but City rarely looked under any pressure.

Mark Preece had to make an important clearance under pressure with five minutes to go and Goodship’s shot was deflected over the bar by Andy Gallinagh, while Mellor had to save a Walker header.

But City comfortably saw out their victory, sending them into tomorrow’s home game against Sutton United (7.45pm) with confidence high.

Orchard bears fruit for hosts CINDERFORD TOWN 1 THATCHAM TOWN 1 A late leveller from Cinderford debutant Liam Orchard saw the Foresters take a point from a lively clash with Thatcham in Division One South & West of the Calor Southern League.

Orchard’s goal and red cards for Cinderford’s Andy Lewis and Thatcham’s Callum Willmoth enlivened what had been a low-key affair.

The home side enjoyed the better of the first half openings with Lewis and Dave Bird having good strikes deflected wide, while team-mate Lewis Sommers had a header cleared off the line.

However, following a Bird free-kick, the visitors broke quickly and substitute Kalief Madden accelerated smoothly onto a long ball, drew goalkeeper Alex Harris and scored with some aplomb.

Cinderford brought on Orchard for George Lloyd and, on 84 minutes, the diminutive forward was in the right place at the right time to steer Andy Lewis’ shot home.

In his understandable exuberance, Orchard’s eye catching goal celebration earned him a harsh booking The late red cards hampered both sides though they continued to press and Harris had to produce a fine save to deny Thatcham a late winner.

Moyes is thrilled with Unite MANCHESTER UNITED 1 ARSENAL 0

BY ANDY HAMPSON at Old Trafford

PICTURE: PA

City boss: We must get over travel sickness SUNDERLAND 1 MANCHESTER CITY 0

BY DAMIAN SPELLMAN Manuel Pellegrini has warned that Manchester City’s bout of travel sickness could derail their Premier League title challenge.

City lost by a solitary goal at Sunderland for the fourth season in a row yesterday and have now taken only four points from a possible 18 on the road in the current campaign.

Pellegrini was at a loss to explain exactly how his team had come away from the Stadium of Light empty-handed after dominating for long periods, but admitted their hopes of glory could be dashed unless they can arrest the trend.

He said: “I am concerned because we are losing too many points away and, of course, that’s very difficult if you don’t win away to try to fight for the Premier League.

“But I don’t think we are playing badly, so we must have a reaction, we must improve to make sure we win.”

Former Manchester United full-back Phil Bardsley’s 21stminute strike – his second goal in five days – proved enough to claim three priceless points for the Black Cats after he shrugged off James Milner and curled a shot across goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon and inside the far post.

The Romanian was once

again preferred to England international Joe Hart and Pellegrini refused to be drawn on where he currently ranks his goalkeepers. He said: “At the moment, of course, Pantilimon is playing. He hasn’t had any problems in the three games he has played.”

Pellegrini introduced Jesus Navas as a half-time substitute and later added Edin Dzeko to the mix as he sought a way back into the game.

But with Sunderland goalkeeper Vito Mannone and a defence marshalled superbly

by Wes Brown – starting his first league game in almost 22 months – holding firm, there was no way through.

The City manager said: “The reaction is very similar to the other games that we have lost away. It’s incredible the way we lost this match.

“Sunderland played really well defending. The team is not in a good position, so I understand the way they played.

“But they had just one shot on our goal. We had the possession, we had the chances and we didn’t score.”

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet was thrilled with the win, saying: “In terms of opposition, quality, world-class players, this is the biggest of my career. I am so pleased for the players. They need to believe.

It’s the feeling that you are sending to the rest above you. I would be thinking, ‘They are coming’.”

Manchester United boss David Moyes felt his side produced their best display of his reign to date in a hugely satisfying win over Arsenal.

Robin van Persie scored against his old club as United overcame the Premier League leaders in a tense clash at Old Trafford.

The result lifted United up to fifth place in the table and within five points of the Londoners in spite of the difficulties new manager Moyes encountered in the opening months of the season.

Van Persie rose unchallenged to guide home Wayne Rooney’s 27th-minute corner to spark scenes of jubilation at Old Trafford and silence the taunts of the visiting fans.

On another amazing weekend, in which Chelsea’s home draw on Saturday was followed within 24 hours by shock defeats for Tottenham and Manchester City, United have now closed to within five points of Arsenal, who suffered their first league defeat since the opening day of the season.

Indeed, six points now separate the first eight in the table, with Liverpool and Southampton now Arsenal’s closest pursuers.

Asked if that was his best performance, Moyes said: “Yes, especially in the first half.

“A resilient job was required in the last 20 minutes, but overall it was a good three points against a very much in-form Arsenal team.

“It’s another step in the right direction for us.

“We have got a lot of big steps to take here and it is going to take a while for me to get it all the way I’d like it to be.

“I am not singing and dancing because we won the game, but I am thrilled because the boys put in a really great perfor mance.”

Moyes played down suggestions that the win for the champions had sent out a warning to the rest of the competition.

He said: “I don’t know if it puts out any statement.

“Everybody for years has known how good Manchester United have been.

“My job and the team’s job is to make sure that we do that again.

“We know that we are going to get a few bloody noses along the way.

“But Manchester United were champions last year and there’s a lot of people written them off very quickly – which is fine – but hopefully come the end of the season we will not be too far away from it.”

Moyes had special praise for the inspirational Wayne Rooney and his strike partner Van Persie.

He said: “Great players score great goals in big games and he (Van Persie) is a great player.

“I have got to say, his sidekick today played great as

well, Wayne – the two of them were fantastic.”

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger felt his side showed signs of nervousness early on and were unable to impose themselves on the game.

He said: “It is disappointing to lose a game the way we lost it.

“At the start of the game we didn’t play our game.

“We were nervous, insecure and we gave them a little bit of comfort by making a mistake at the first set-piece, or the second.

“After that we lost too many balls and rushed our game in the first half.

“In the second half when we played our game we played in one half and they counter-attacked a few times.

“We didn’t find the opportunity to equalise.

“We had the opportunities but we missed always, by a few inches, to push the ball into the net.

“They were well-focused to defend and catch us on the

United boss David Moyes break and that happened once or twice in the game.

“It is disappointing as we had the opportunity at least to get a draw out of this game.”

The result prolonged Arsenal’s poor record against United at Old Trafford, having not won at the ground since September 2006.

Wenger felt that probably contributed to his side’s poor start.

When asked why his team were nervous, Wenger said: “Maybe with the fact we haven’t won for a long time here and it was a big game and, once again, it is a tight game that has been decided on a setpiece.

“That is what we will keep from this game.

“We knew this could happen but after that we had a go and gave everything until the last minute. This team has a great heart.

“I feel sorry for my players tonight.”

Wenger felt referee Michael Oliver made some wrong decisions but was unwilling to elaborate.

He said: “I need to buy some Christmas presents and these statements cost too much money now.”

He also did not want to blame the virus which had affected a number of his players in the past week and ruled out Per Mertesacker and Tomas Rosicky.

He said: “That can happen the whole season, it doesn’t mean you have to lose a game.

“They declared themselves fit so they play. When they play, they play. There is no excuse. I felt physically we were all right.”

ted’s display in beating Arsenal

SWANSEA CITY 3 STOKE CITY 3 Swansea manager Michael Laudrup felt referee Robert Madley owed him and his players an apology after seeing his side suffer stoppage-time agony for the third time in four games against Stoke.

A thrilling Liberty Stadium encounter ended in a 3-3 draw, a result which had looked unlikely when Stoke roared into a 2-0 first-half lead as Jonathan Walters and Stephen Ireland produced composed finishes.

But Wilfried Bony got one back early in the second half, before Nathan Dyer levelled and the Ivorian struck his tenth goal of the season to put Swansea ahead with four minutes to go.

However, the Swans, who had let leads slip in the dying moments of both Europa League meetings with Kuban Krasnodar, were denied again when Madley, taking charge of only his third Premier League game, decided Wayne Rout-

Krul luck on Spurs as Magpies goalkeeper stars TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 0 NEWCASTLE UNITED 1

BY SIMON PEACH

PICTURE: STEPHEN POND/PA

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew heaped praise on goalkeeper Tim Krul for an inspired performance which Tottenham counterpart Andre Villas-Boas felt was the only difference between the sides at White Hart Lane.

The 25-year-old produced one of the Premier League’s best-ever goalkeeping performances, with his 14 saves the most seen in a single topflight match since the 2006-07 season.

The stops varied from the simple to the sublime and were the catalyst in Newcastle collecting a 1-0 win in north London, courtesy of Loic Remy’s first-half strike.

Asked if it was the best goal-

keeping performance he had seen, Magpies boss Alan Pardew said: “Yeah, it was one of them. Wow. I think he is the best goalie in Holland and I think he proved that today.

“His performance level has not needed to be high recently as we have not come under that sort of pressure too often, but we did today.

“Certainly in the second half Tottenham really turned up the heat and he answered almost everything. It was an unbelievable performance.”

Tottenham boss Villas-Boas echoed those sentiments, having seen his players thwarted time and again.

“Well, it was difficult to take,” the Portuguese said.

“Obviously we have to look at ourselves and recognise that our first half was very, very poor. That is the negative part of the game and the positive

part is that we have reacted so strongly. I think that the result is unfair, given what we created, particularly in the second half. I think Tim Krul was the key to the game. He made the difference.

“Newcastle made a good start and we made a poor start ourselves, so we’ve responded with a good second half but that 45-minute advantage was probably the blow for us.

“Our disappointment comes from that, although I still think that had one of those opportunities gone in we would have won the game.”

Krul, though, was not to be beaten, producing fantastic saves to deny Roberto Soldado, Paulinho and Gylfi Sigurdsson amongst others.

The save from Soldado’s first-half header was Pardew’s favourite, although there were so many he admitted it was

hard to keep track of them all.

Pardew was also quick to praise his strike force of Shola Ameobi and Remy, who netted his seventh goal in as many league matches.

“We did similar to what we did when we won against Chelsea,” Pardew added.

“Remy had a great chance before he scored and I was a little bit surprised he did not take that because he really is in great form. But the second one he made no mistake with and it gave us a platform.

“He has got a silkiness to the way he moves and a nice kind of gait, the way he runs and everything. He really is a classy-looking performer, which is great if you back it up with goals. It kind of elevates him and he stands out, but I thought Shola Ameobi was terrific in the 60 minutes he played.”

ledge had handled after Steven Nzonzi flicked on a Robert Huth header.

Substitute Charlie Adam made no mistake from the spot as the Potters snatched a point.

Laudrup conceded the ball had “maybe” struck Routledge on the arm, but he was deeply unhappy with the decision despite attempting to be careful with his words in order to avoid any action from the Football Association.

He said: “There was only one man in the stadium who thought it was a penalty, and unfortunately that was the referee. But the referees are not allowed to say anything and I have to be careful what I say otherwise I will get a fine or a sanction.

“Of course we can all make mistakes and say we are sorry, the players can do the same.

But we have to leave the referees, it would be nice if the referee said ‘Sorry, it was a mistake’.”

■ Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho remains unbeaten in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge after a controversial late penalty allowed the home side to snatch a 2-2 draw against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

Liverpool returned to winning ways as they swept to a 4-0 win against Fulham, while Southampton climbed two places to third with a 4-1 home win over Hull.

Aston Villa left it late to break down Cardiff, winning 2-0, while Crystal Palace’s home clash with Everton finished 0-0.

Stanley: We need to solve scrum issues NORTHAMPTON 33 GLOUCESTER 6

BY ALAN BROWN Serious questions must be answered about the condition of Gloucester’s ailing scrum, admits forwards coach Andrew Stanley.

Stanley, who is currently filling in as Gloucester head coach while rugby director Nigel Davies files a mid-season report, had to accept issues must be resolved around the form of the front eight – and quickly.

The team’s latest instalment saw an experimental – but still modestly experienced – Gloucester pack overrun by Northampton at Franklin’s Gardens in the LV= Cup. Gloucester face Japan at Kingsholm tomorrow night in what will be a first for the club.They then return to the Anglo-Welsh Cup as Newcastle Falcons visit Kingsholm on Saturday.

Stanley said: “We have got to work very hard to change people’s perceptions of our scrum. It may be easy to shy away from that aspect but we need to change those perceptions and I am sure we will be able to do that.

“It’s going to be a tough week but we need to embrace that.

It’s an opportunity for them to play some rugby and maybe that’s what we need at this moment in time.

“The boys will certainly be relishing the opportunity to play an international side at Kingsholm and we then have to back it up again at home to Newcastle. We will have to make sure we are pushing in the right direction.”

Northampton notched up four tries – two in each half – to brush Gloucester aside.

Gloucester gave away too many penalties in the tight once again and Stanley fears the perceptions of his side’s scrum are fast becoming a hindrance when it comes to refereeing decisions.

Two tries in the final eight minutes from debutant Alex Day saw Northampton home.

Ken Pisi had already scored two tries for Saints but the game looked to be petering out at 21-6 until academy scrumhalf Day came off the bench.

The England Under-20 youngster scored his first try after 72 minutes and dived over for another another six minutes later.

Both sides gave their fringe players and youngsters a run out, although Gloucester had Freddie Burns captaining the side, with Mike Tindall and Charlie Sharples marshalling the young backs.

Kiwi fly-half Glenn Dickson, making his debut for Northampton alongside fellow New Zealander Rob Verbakel and academy wing Howard Packman, gave the home side a 3-0 lead after five minutes thanks to a chargedown by second row James Craig causing chaos.

Three minutes later Burns levelled and then punted the visitors 6-3 in front, before a scrum penalty saw Dickson make it all square again.

Gloucester’s decent start was undone when Cox was sinbinned in the 22nd minute for sticking a leg out as Saints scrum-half Ryan Glynn ran past.

A minute later Northampton had the first try of the game when Dom Waldouck pierced through the Gloucester defence, chipped a superb grubber with the outside of his boot to the right wing for James Wilson to kick ahead and Pisi to dive on the ball.

Pisi grabbed his second five minutes later when Glynn fed him 40 metres out down the short side off a lineout drive and the Samoan skipped over a tackle before cutting inside to score. Dickson converted to make it 18-6.

Alex Waller, making his 100th appearance in the front row for Saints, ensured the home side dominated the scrum with a man-of-thematch display at loosehead.

Gloucester brought on the more experienced Yann Thomas and Koree Britton in the front row but it made no difference as Northampton

Bozzard sparks Cinderford win CINDERFORD 25 BLACKHEATH 0 Cinderford produced a hardworking performance in SSE National League One to overcome the challenge of Blackheath, who failed to get on the score sheet.

The first-half saw few clear scoring opportunities, with the much bigger visiting forwards giving their team a territorial advantage and Cinderford defending their line with plenty of determination and character.

Home full-back Mike Wilcox kicked a penalty after six minutes, but Simon Whatling was off target with a chance to level the scores soon afterwards.

Just before the interval Wilcox put over a 40-metre penalty to give Cinderford a 6-0 lead at the break.

The second-half saw the home side soon on the offensive and a lineout catch and drive saw hooker Tom Bozzard emerge with the ball to claim a try, which was well converted

by Wilcox.

Cinderford kept up the momentum and more pressure on their opponents line saw a knock-on in goal and scrumhalf Danny Pointon pounced on the loose ball for a try which went unconverted.

Blackheath tried hard to get back in the match, but the home defence was well up the task and Cinderford scored a third try with ten minutes remaining when centre Brad Davies intercepted and Stef Hawley raced clear to score.

Wilcox landed the conversion to complete the scoring.

Gloucester wing Charlie Sharples, right, has little room to move in during the match began the second half with Dickson kicking three points from yet another scrum penalty.

It was a disjointed affair, with plenty of stoppages for injuries, the worst looking like a broken arm for Northampton lock Craig.

It had been a drab second period but a trio of Northampton replacements brightened things up as fly-half Sam Olver

flicked a clever inside ball to Matt Williams who off-loaded for Day to score his first try for the club. And with two minutes left Day was on the spot as the ball was spat out of a scrum to dive over for the bonus point.

Bennett seals it with a double to keep Lydney on course BRACKNELL 6 LYDNEY 30 Lydney went 11 points clear at the top of the SSE National Three South West table after ending second-placed Bracknell’s run of seven unbeaten games.

The Severnsiders look to be on course for a quick return to National Two. The visitors proved to be a very strong side and put the hesitant start to the last couple of games firmly behind them

as they took the lead in the opening minute at Lily Hill Park through a 45 metre penalty from Tony Wicks.

This was a lead that they were never to surrender as they forced Bracknell back in to the areas that they struggled to play out of on a wet day where slick handling was always going to be tricky.

Lydney had the slight edge at half time with a 9-6 lead after two further Wicks penalties with the home side replying

through two penalties from full-back Liam Prescott.

Bracknell failed to add to their score after the restart.

The second half saw long periods of parity in many areas of the game but despite the usual ebb and flow of possession and territory Bracknell failed to capitalise on any inroads they made, whereas Lydney where more clinical.

It was the visitors’ forward pressure that secured the Severnsiders three second half

tries to seal the game, although this was the first game this season where they have not picked-up a try-scoring bonus point.

Scrum-half Sam Arnott made a break and found Josh Hannam up in support. He made valuable ground before giving the scoring pass to Matt Boobyer for the first touchdown of the match with Wicks adding the extras.

The Severnsiders stretched their lead thanks to the pack’s

dominance which led to Dave Bennett picking up a loose ball from a ruck to canter in under the posts virtually unopposed with Wicks adding the simple conversion.

Lydney continued to press and Bracknell became more frustrated as they were repelled by a solid Lydney defence. Bennett again caught the home defence napping as he ran in from 25 metres with Wicks converting to seal the game.

After nine defeats and four losing bonus points in as many weeks, Avonmouth Old Boys secured their first win of the season against fellow strugglers Old Centralians to condemn the visitors back to the foot of SSE National Three South West.

Avonmouth took the lead with a Harry Hone try just before half time. Andy Taylor converted.

Old Cents reduced the arrears early in the second half with a penalty from young flyhalf Joel James.

Wing Charlie Reynolds raced over for Mouth’s second try and Taylor converted.

The home side were dealt a blow after prop Ben Souch was sent to the sin-bin for what was deemed a high tackle. This spurred half backs Connor Power and Matt Belbin to play some intelligent kicks for field position, backed-up by full back Taylor.

Skipper Belbin slotted a drop goal which was followedup by a Taylor penalty as Old Cents started to fade.

A counter attack from Taylor saw him link up with centre Gary Collier who found Reynolds out wide. The flying winger stormed over for his second touchdown.

Booth delight after clincher from Attwood SALE 20 BATH 27

BY HARRY ABBOTT Dave Attwood scored a try with the final play of the match as Bath snatched victory against Sale Sharks in their LV= Cup opener.

The score capped an incredible conclusion to a hardfought match at the AJ Bell Stadium. Home full-back Mike Haley had earlier touched down to level the scores with a minute to play – cancelling out Matt Banahan’s effort just after the hour mark.

Replacement lock Attwood, who only featured at Salford after being overlooked by England for Saturday’s Test against Argentina, nicked possession deep in Sale territory before scampering towards the whitewash and capping the score with a swan dive over the line.

Bath coach Tony Booth said: “There was a lot of disbelief from all parties, it was an extraordinary end to a very tough contest.

“There were lots of changes on both sides and often the first 20 or 30 minutes is about getting used to playing with each other.

“We’re delighted with the away win because an away win in any competition you have to treasure.

“We spoke about the people who have wanted the opportunity and have waited for an opportunity to force their hand and show what they can do.

“We make no apologies for trying to create a deeper squad because you want competition for places.

“Away wins like this shows that people are putting their hands up and it gives us selection headaches.”

Forwards Anthony Perenise and Michael Paterson had earlier traded tries in an even first half.

Sale made a powerful start to the contest and ill-discipline from Bath allowed fly-half Joe Ford to fire his side ahead with a penalty after just two minutes.

Much of the early action continued in the visitors’ territory

and Bath’s defence was pushed to the limit. Winger Tom Biggs got in several big hits, while it needed a try-saving tackle from full-back Nick Abendanon to prevent winger Tom Brady from crossing for the opening score out wide.

A Sale error then gifted Bath a way back into the contest after 20 minutes. Haley sent a long clearance downfield but was adjudged to have taken the ball back into his own 22 before the kick.

The visitors, therefore, were given the lineout in strong position and quickly capitalised.

No 8 Leroy Houston orchestrated a huge drive from the lineout and when the maul rumbled over the whitewash, Perenise touched down.

The try was Perenise’s second in a week, after the Samoan prop grabbed the opener in Bath’s league win at Worcester Warriors seven days earlier. Fly-half Tom Heathcote added the extras from out wide.

The lead did not last long, though, and Sale responded with a try in exactly the same fashion. Ford sent a penalty deep downfield and, after the hosts won the lineout, a maul powered its way over the whitewash, with No 8 Paterson getting the score. Ford converted to put Sharks back in front.

Bath then began to enjoy a spell of possession deep in the hosts’ territory and Heathcote was able to level the scores at half-time with a penalty right in front of the posts.

It took 15 minutes for more points to arrive following a slow start to the second period.

Heathcote manoeuvred himself into the pocket to fire Bath ahead with a sweetly-struck drop goal.

The visiting fly-half then played a crucial part in Banahan’s touchdown soon afterwards. Excellent work by the Bath pack had Sharks wobbling on their own line and when the ball came back to Heathcote, he cleverly chipped over the defence to allow Banahan to race in for a touchdown.

Heathcote added the extras and there was more bad news for Sale when Paterson was sent to the sin-bin for an illegal

The Fishermenout-scored their visitors nine to two including a hat-trick for wing Tom Goodman and a brace for Johnny Brown.

There was a touchdown on his debut for Natal U19 Theo Kruger who came off the bench late in the first half.

Brixham’s other try scorers were Matt Crosscombe, Adam Thomas and Andy Sandercock who also kicked three conversions. Chippenham replied with tries from Mike Beswick and Aidan Ascott plus an Andy Williamson conversion and penalty.

Dave Attwood scored the clinching try for Bath against Sale in the LV= Cup action in the build-up to the score.

A penalty from replacement Nick Macleod brought Sale within seven points of the visitors.

Bath’s defence was put to the test as Sharks bombarded the line in the closing stages and it was finally breached two minutes from time.

The ball went loose from a big drive and Ollie Devoto’s attempted clearing kick went straight into Haley, who dived over the whitewash. Macleod’s

conversion levelled the scores to set up a tense finale. Sale thought they were heading for victory when a loose Banahan pass was intercepted by replacement winger Rob Miller, who darted downfield but was hauled down by Abendanon.

The visitors were awarded a penalty and Heathcote tried his luck from inside his own half. The kick dropped well short and as Sharks attempted to run the ball back, a brilliant steal from Attwood snatched the win for Bath.

Leading scorer Mackay lands 24 more in Weston victory WESTON-SUPER-MARE 29 OLD REDCLIFFIANS 5 Twenty-four points from flyhalf James Mackay, the league’s leading points scorer, steered Weston to their third league win in a row and saw the Seasiders leapfrog over Old Reds in to fifth place in National Three South West.

The match was the last in the Weston colours for scrum-half Dan Waldon. He is to tour Europe before returning to New Zealand.

Steve Donegan came off the bench to make his 100th senior appearance.

The game was halted after 30 minutes due to an injury to full-back Harvey Skelton who

was carried from the field on a spinal board and wearing neck brace. After being taken to hospital an MRI scan confirmed there no fracture.

Weston led 16-0 at half time after three Mackay penalties and the conversion of No 8 George Sparks’ touchdown.

Weston flanker Ash Russell was sent to the sin-bin five

minutes after the restart for a team offence.

Old Reds took advantage of the extra man for full-back Callum Partridge to touchdown. But the Seasiders, back to full strength, countered with Mackay adding penalties either side of his own try ten minutes from time.

They trail leaders Ivybridge by three points but have a game in hand.

However, Wellington’s disappointing season continued when they lost 26-10 at home to Penryn.

Cheltenham’s injury woes hit a new low with 11 players injured and with three others unavailable so they entered this South West One East game with their last 18 players.

Reading moved into a 15-0 lead with tries from Chris Grieg and Dan Witco and a penalty and conversion from Andy Tweedie.

Cheltenham narrowed the gap with a Richard Morris try and an Ollie Young penalty.

Greig scored his second try but Cheltenham responded with a Rhys Evans try converted by Young.

Reading extended their lead with tries from Matt Hulland and Alex Dorliac. Tweedie converted the first.

A scuffle led to Cheltenham’s Ed Dusting and Reading’s Tim Macnaughton being sent to the sin-bin.

Cheltenham’s Nick Clifford was shown a yellow card four minutes later and Reading’s Davies saw yellow when the home side put on pressure.

Roach keeps Cleve flying SOUTH WEST ONE WEST Cleve maintained their 100 per cent start to the season in South West One West with a 256 home win over third-placed North Petherton.

Sam Roach snapped up two of their tries with Anton Welling scoring the other.

However, Cleve are unable to shake off second-placed St Austell who stormed to a 50-18 victory at Cullompton with Darren Pellow and Matt Shepherd both scoring two tries.

Hornets gained a fine 19-14 win at Wadebridge but Chard slumped 23-17 at Camborne who now have the same number of points as Petherton.

Clevedon ran out 23-16 home winners against bottom side Coney Hill who are still without a win.

Robbo urges Bristol to be more accurate LON WELSH 22 BRISTOL 7

BY STEVE COTTON After five successive bonuspoint victories in the GKIPA Championship, Bristol emerged from their most significant test of the season so far without so much as a bonus-point defeat.

Not that they were beaten by a lack of ambition. Although Bristol did not score a point in the final hour of the game, they were the ones who enjoyed the bulk of the possession, territory and opportunities.

They again turned down kicks at goal – as has been their preference this season – opting instead to go to touch whenever the opportunity presented itself. Bristol scored one try through this route – but for the rest of the game they either made basic errors in attack or were thwarted by a red wall.

Had this been June 4 and the Championship play-off final, rather than November 10 and a bog-standard league game in the 23-match slog that is the regular season, it is difficult to imagine that Bristol would have been as willing to neglect the three-pointers on offer.

That they did – tur ning down a potential 18 points in penalties in order to go for the corners – is, according to director of rugby Andy Robinson, part of their development as an attacking force.

“We’re trying to improve the way we’re playing the game – and it’s about being able to take those opportunities,” he said. “We scored a try and missed two others, and that’s the disappointing thing. The decisions were right – we’ve got to improve the accuracy of what we’re doing.

“We had a lot of possession – and the disappointing part of the possession and territory we had was that we weren’t able to take the opportunities we wanted to take. That’s something we’ve got to learn.

“But we want to put ourselves under that pressure

and we’re learning a lot about ourselves by playing this way – it’s important we make the improvements we want to make.”

It was difficult to see how yesterday’s game offered any definitive pointers regarding the remainder of the season, particularly with seven months still to go.

Bristol arguably could have beaten Welsh had they regularly gone for goal; had their set-piece functioned more efficiently; or had their accuracy across the field been sharper.

But the fact they did not will undoubtedly give Justin Burnell’s men the belief they have Bristol’s number – even at this early stage of the season.

For their part, Welsh were resolute in defence – soaking up whatever Bristol threw at them, even if the visitors were at times their own worst enemies – and sharp as a counterattacking force. Two of their three tries came from Bristol being in possession, but, while Welsh were an accomplished force in most facets, they are clearly not of the same quality as Newcastle, Harlequins, Northampton or some of the other relegated Aviva Premiership teams of recent seasons.

Welsh opened the scoring by winning a scrum against the head on the Bristol five-metre line – a scrum Bristol had been given after Welsh had knocked on while stealing a Bristol lineout. Daniel Browne picked up from the base and set up Alex Davies to score from close range.

Minutes later, Bristol almost conceded a second try when they were carved open by Seb Stegmann, who should have gone wide but opted instead to cut back in, and Nick Scott eventually knocked on.

Bristol enjoyed phase after phase as they hit back – but too often lacked penetration as they worked the ball from right to left and back again.

They drew level when Nicky Robinson sent a penalty to touch and Ross Johnston was driven over, but fell behind when Ruki Tipuna’s pass was

Topps takes the lead off Pats BARNSTAPLE 16 OLD PATESIANS 7 Old Patesians slipped to their fifth defeat in six games on the road.

They remain seven points clear of the bottom three in the National Three South West table.

Barum’s Dave Kimberley was taken to hospital with suspected broken ribs early on.

Old Pats took the lead after 25 minutes following a break from inside centre Ben Parker.

A couple of drives to the line resulted in No 8 James Pettigrew crossing the line and outside centre James Butler adding the extras.

Barum full-back Matt Down his the post with a penalty but found the target just before half time to leave the home side trailing 7-3 at the interval.

Referee Chris Newton sent Old Pats lock James Stickland and his opposite number Matt Gohl to the sin-bin after tempers had flared early in the second half but Barum took the lead just before both sides were restored to full strength.

They set up a drive before working the ball to inside centre Ryan Carter to cross for Barum’s only try which was converted by Down.

In the final quarter Will Topps took over the kicking duties and slotted two penalties between the uprights as the Devon side remained unbeaten at home this season to leave them just a point behind sixth-placed Old Redcliffians.

Titans’ pack is key ingredient TAUNTON TITANS 27 CLIFTON 13

Bristol director of rugby Andy Robinson was pleased with the attitude of the players intercepted. The scrum-half worked back to make a tackle – but Welsh hit Bristol quickly, with Carl Kirwan and Davies playing in Stegmann to score.

Welsh kept Bristol out again as half-time approached – as they did for the 10 minutes while Sonny Parker was in the sin-bin following a succession of Welsh indiscretions at the ruck.

Bristol kicked another penalty to touch and drove – but were penalised as they prepared to strike – before George Watkins and Adam D’Arcy had to be alert to deny Rob Lewis on the counter.

Davies knocked over a pen-

alty when Bristol infringed at a scrum to give Welsh a 10point lead, before James Grindal chased Watkins’ chip through, and, despite getting to the ball, was deemed to have knocked on over the line. With Bristol pressing for a losing bonus point, Welsh broke clear and Tom May set up Ollie Stedman to seal the victory.

“Credit to Welsh for the way they defended and also the way they put pressure on us in the tackle contest – and they took their chances well,” said Robinson. “For us, we want to expand the way we’re trying to play. I’m pleased with the attitude that’s been shown by the

Hartpury just manage to hold off a fiery comeback by Dings DINGS CRUSADERS 23 HARTPURY COLLEGE 25 Hartpury recovered from 16-6 down to edge a nail-biting West Country derby against Dings Crusaders.

The National League Two South leaders’ five-match unbeaten run looked under serious threat when Dings opened up a 10-point gap shortly after half-time with Hartpury’s Alex Woodburn in the sin-bin.

But Hartpury, bereft of all of their Gloucester Academy con-

tingent bar Lewis Ludlow, took advantage of two quickfire Dings yellow cards to secure a sixth straight win and a ninepoint lead at the top of the division.

Gareth Thompson kicked two penalties to put Hartpury ahead.

The hosts struck back immediately courtesy of Mitch Burton and the former Bath fly-half restored parity when Ludlow was sin-binned for failing to roll away.

Dings prop Josh Lloyd bur-

rowed over for a try and Burton converted.

Hartpury’s fortunes worsened after the interval when Woodburn was controversially sin-binned for a tiptackle as Ludlow stood poised to return to the field, with Burton duly slotting the resultant penalty.

Dings received two yellow cards of their own in the space of a minute, winger Ollie Reyland dispatched for a deliberate knock-on swiftly followed by hooker Dave Wheeler for

taking out a lineout jumper.

Hartpury’s Andy Chesters finished off a catch-and-drive at full stretch, Thompson ontarget with the extras.

Lock Will Waldron finished off a superb team score as the 15 men of Hartpury overran their 13 opponents.

Ben Vellacott danced his way over for five points 12 minutes from time to increase the lead. But Dings, who hold a famously proud home record over their 10-season spell in the fourth tier, refused to wilt

and Lloyd crashed over to complete a brace that Burton converted to bring the hosts to within two points.

And they almost snatched victory in the most dramatic of styles when Hartpury were awarded a penalty on the final whistle, only for referee James Sullivan to reverse the decision after a scuffle ensued.

The dead-eyed Burton stepped up from 45 metres, but his kick fell short to leave Hartpury breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Taunton maintained their 100 per cent record at Hyde Park this season with this hardfought but deserved victory over opponents who fought doggedly.

The visitors, however, could not deal with Titans’ powerful pack which forced Clifton to concede two penalty tries – one in each half.

With such an advantage, Taunton should have scored more points but were well worth their fifth straight home win of the season.

Apart from the two penalty tries, Mark Manton scored Taunton’s only other try with Jamie Forester kicking a conversion and penalty. Gary Kingdom also slotted over a penalty and two conversions.

Roger Freestone scored Clifton’s only try, and Brad Barnes landed two penalties and a conversion.

Taunton are expecting a big crowd for Wednesday’s home game against neighbours Bridgwater and Albion in the first round of the Somerset Cup (7.30pm).

Although Taunton play at a higher level than Bridgwater, Taunton’s player-coach Tony Yapp said: “We will certainly not be underestimating the opposition.

“We’re very aware of the pressures of league rugby, but we’re here to win every game we play in.”

England fail to convince in patchy win ENGLAND 31 ARGENTINA 12

BY DUNCAN BECH England emerged comfortable winners against Argentina at a subdued Twickenham, but another patchy performance in the autumn internationals posed as many questions as answers.

Tries from Joe Launchbury, Gloucester’s Billy Twelvetrees and Chris Ashton helped establish a 24-6 interval lead, and when they appeared for the second half a landslide victory beckoned.

The energy drained from their game, however, as their previously dominant pack were met on equal terms by resurgent Argentina and their back line shuffled pointlessly across the pitch, bereft of ideas.

A late try from substitute Ben Morgan pulled them clear, ending a Pumas fightback founded on the place kicking of fly-half Nicolas Sanchez.

Owen Farrell finished with 11 points after landing a penalty and converting all four of England’s tries.

Watched by David Beckham, who was sat in the stand with sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, England posted their ninth win in ten matches and their sixth successive victory at Twickenham.

It is an admirable run of results, but this was not the warmup head coach Stuart Lancaster was seeking ahead of New Zealand’s visit next Saturday in the climax to the autumn.

Several of the players who were muted in the 20-13 victory over Australia were more conspicuous, inside centre Twelvetrees and scrum-half Lee Dickson among them, at least in the first half.

But even they faded alongside their team-mates as England lost their way alarmingly as the match deteriorated into a

drab spectacle, spoiling memories of the early glut of tries.

Among those to hold their head high was hooker Dylan Hartley, who was superb throughout, carrying the fight to Argentina and deservedly finishing man of the match.

There was no lack of ambition from England, a fact apparent early on as, once Farrell and Sanchez had exchanged penalties, the Saracens fly-half found touch instead of taking a shot at goal.

The bold move continued a promising spell as England’s confidence grew and from the ensuing line-out they were held up over the line.

Referee Pascal Gauzere gave them a second stab at the whitewash, however, and this time, once Hartley had found Courtney Lawes, they drove over, with Launchbury touching down.

Argentina gained a foothold at the scrum, winning a penalty against David Wilson that long-range specialist Marcelo Bosch sent between the uprights with a gigantic kick.

Ashton harmed his chances of being retained against New Zealand after failing to complete a simple finish once a pass from full-back Mike Brown left him with only Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino to beat.

But England would not be thwarted in the 22nd minute and Ashton played a role, scooping up a loose ball during a backs move and feeding Twelvetrees.

Twelvetrees had Brown in space outside him but used his strength to power over, breaking three tackles, and Farrell converted.

There was no respite for Argentina as ruthless England ran in a third try, with Ashton the scorer.

Chris Robshaw and Hartley,

Seymour joy at his try double SCOTLAND 42 JAPAN 17 Scotland winger Tommy Seymour savoured the “perfect” feeling of scoring two tries on his home debut.

The Nashville-born player crossed in the corner in each half following passes from Ruaridh Jackson as Scotland survived a fright from their opponents early in the second half.

Among the Murrayfield crowd was Seymour’s Northern Ireland-based parents, including Glasgow-born mother Sue, and the 25-year-old was among the proudest men in the country after marking his third cap in memorable fashion.

Describing the feeling when he touched down in the 32nd minute, Seymour said: “Amazing. A really, really special feeling.

“I was just delighted to cross over and my parents, brother and girlfriend were in the crowd so it was perfect. My parents hadn’t seen me play for a while so it was a special moment that they were there to witness that.”

Kenki Fukuoka twice brought Japan back into it either side of Greig Laidlaw’s try before Seymour, Al Dickinson and Duncan Weir all touched down.

Sean Lamont crossed the line late on as Scott Johnson’s side capitalised on a tiring Japan, hampered by Ryu Holani’s sin-binning.

Ireland battle way to victory Gloucester’s Ben Morgan breaks past Argentina’s defence to score England’s final try at Twickenham who repeatedly carried the ball into the heart of the Pumas’ defence, made yards and in an instant the ball was switched right with Farrell sending Ashton over.

Loosehead prop Alex Corbisiero appeared for the second half, replacing Joe Marler, but it was Argentina who started brighter after the interval.

Even with British and Irish Lions hero Corbisiero on the pitch, their scrum remained on top, winning a penalty that Sanchez dispatched.

England needed to meet the Pumas’ revival head on and they did just that, with Robshaw, Farrell and Courtney Lawes flattening opponents with big tackles.

When they eventually took possession, the accuracy that had decorated their play in the first half had vanished, with Twelvetrees among those no longer so composed on the ball.

The next score was supplied by Sanchez, cutting the deficit to 24-12 as England continued to lose their way in the third

quarter. Argentina were by then the dominant force as England continued to stumble aimlessly through the second half.

Sanchez missed a penalty, but the Pumas remained in possession, with Benjamin Macome almost wriggling through a gap.

They were caught off guard with four minutes to go, however, as substitute Morgan capitalised on some poor tackling after a line-out to storm over.

Wales count cost of ferocious clash and call for reinforcements WALES 15 SOUTH AFRICA 24 Battered and bruised RBS 6 Nations champions Wales will regroup today after summoning four reinforcements as training cover ahead of next weekend’s clash against Argentina.

Coach Warren Gatland has called up Scarlets props Samson Lee and Rhodri Jones, together with Newport Gwent Dragons backs Tom Prydie and Hallam Amos.

It follows a punishing appointment with Rugby Championship runners-up South Africa when Gatland saw four players – centre Jonathan Davies, prop Adam Jones, wing Liam Williams and sub-

stitute prop Scott Andrews – suffer first-half injuries.

First-half tries from Jean De Villiers and Bismarck Du Plessis gave the visitors a commanding 17-6 lead.

But Leigh Halfpenny’s third and fourth penalties kept Wales in it at half-time.

Halfpenny’s fifth penalty made it 15-17 but a third try from Fourie Du Preez with 15 minutes left ended Welsh hopes of only a second ever win over South Africa.

Gatland said: “The injuries are relatively serious.

“Adam Jones is a calf strain, Jonathan Davies is a pectoral muscle which will keep him out for the rest of the campaign, Liam Williams has had

Jonathan Davies makes a break

a bump to the head and will be assessed. Scott Andrews is okay.

“He (Davies) was a big loss to us in the first-half. He had made a couple of breaks and been strong on his feet.

“He is very disappointed.

We’ve spoken to the physio and he said it could settle by the back end of December, but if he needs an operation it could be five months and means he misses the Six Nations as well.”

Reflecting on the 24-15 Springboks defeat, Wales’ outstanding forward Richard Hibbard underlined the Test’s physical ferocity.

“It was brutal from start to finish. South Africa were ag-

gressive in both attack and defence,” Hibbard said.

“I think the boys stuck to it well and we went toe to toe, but they won in the end. It was frustrating. We went into the game sure we could win it.

“We focused on the win all week and a few things went wrong and we know what South Africa are like. They’ve just come off beating good teams in the Rugby Championship, and they got on top in the end.”

“We prepared all week and then we lost three players from the pitch. It’s tough for the boys coming into positions where they haven’t practised.

“But I think they did really well.”

IRELAND 40 SAMOA 9 Ireland wore down an understrength Samoa in the second half to run out comfortable winners in a scrappy opening autumn Test in Dublin.

Scrum domination help Ireland lead 14-6 by half-time with Peter O'Mahony running in a try for the home side.

George Pisi's sin-binning was exploited by the Irish after the break as replacement Sean O'Brien notched a try.

Debutant replacement Dave Kearney added two tries with Fergus McFadden also touching down as the Samoans tired.

The game appeared a tricky start to the Joe Schmidt era as Ireland faced a Samoa side whose world ranking of seventh put them one place above the Irish.

But the visitors were without several of their frontline players including Stade Francais centre Gavin Williams and Toulouse prop Census Johnston.

Ireland coach Schmidt said: “We’ll get a reality check when we look at it again: too many line-breaks from the Samoans.

“And we can’t afford to do that against Australia. If they get on top they are extremely dangerous. If we open up too many options for them, they will take them.”

Flanker Chris Henry suffered a minor hamstring strain and will be monitored this week.

Haskins keen to step up a level after win BOXING

BY ANDY STOCKHAUSEN Bristol’s Lee Haskins spoke of his immense respect for ring veteran Jason Booth after successfully defending his British bantamweight title against the 36-year-old challenger at the City Academy in Redfield.

More than six years his junior and at the peak of his powers, Haskins nevertheless had to weather a storm before overcoming the Nottingham man 118-111, 117-112, 119-111 in front of his home-town fans.

Supping in the last chance saloon after losing five of his previous six bouts, Booth proved anything but washed up as he pushed the champion all the way in a 12-round contest that provided rich entertainment for Bristol fight fans and a Eurosport TV audience of thousands.

“Before the fight, I wasn’t sure which Jason Booth would turn up – the real thing or one that was over the hill,” revealed Haskins. “He told me he had prepared really well for this fight, because he knew how hard I punched and how hard I was to hit. I told him I had also trained hard for him.

“I usually try and wind my opponents up and get underneath their skin, but there was none of that this time. I have so much respect for him, simply because of how long he has been in the sport and what he has achieved.

“I usually like to give it to them, but he’s a nice guy and I played fair by him.”

Installed as mandatory challenger for the European bantamweight title, Haskins has EBU champion Karim Guerfi in his sights and that fight could be made during the early part of 2014.

A high-octane performance full of heart and skill will certainly do the Bristolian’s hopes

of landing a big title shot on the international stage no harm at all.

He reflected: “It was a fantastic fight for the TV cameras.

There was a lot of energy and a lot of skill in that fight, a lot of speed and a lot of power.

“There was also guts and determination and heart. It was a great fight for the crowd and for those watching at home.

“I want to have bigger fights and bigger paydays and, hopefully, this will help. I would like to think we gave people real entertainment.”

Roared on to his 28th career win by a partisan crowd, Haskins hopes to box for a major title in Bristol next year.

He said: “That atmosphere was wicked and makes me want to fight here all the time.

If they offered me a world title fight in Mexico or the chance to defend my British belt in Bristol, I’d probably take fighting at home. I love fighting in front of the Bristol fans, because they make me feel as though I can’t be beaten.”

Quicker to the punch and sharper all round, Haskins established his authority in the early rounds, building a commanding lead after five rounds. Difficult to hit, the champion worked effectively off his jab, punishing his 36year-old opponent with telling shots to head and body whenever he missed.

With no answer to the Bristolian’s crisp counter-punching, Booth had no choice but to take punishment as he stepped inside in a bid to disrupt the local hero’s rhythm. And the tactic paid handsome dividends in the sixth round, the 36-year-old Midlander launching a fierce two-handed assault to enjoy his first real success.

Drawn into a fight, Haskins was shipping too many head shots and he was relieved

Sport crowns its youngest ever champion MOTOR CYCLING Marc Marquez became the youngest ever rider to win the MotoGP world title after riding a controlled race to third place at the season finale in Valencia.

The 20-year-old Spaniard needed to only finish fourth or higher to be sure of beating Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo to the crown, and did all that was required of him with a performance that yet again belied his tender years.

Lorenzo’s achievement sees him become the series’ youngest champion, breaking the record of Freddie Spencer who was 21 years and 258 days old when he won the 500cc title in 1983.

Marquez is also the first rookie to win the premier class title since Kenny Roberts in 1978.

The Honda rider’s title triumph was just reward for his stunning consistency across his debut season, with his podium finish on Sunday his 16th in 18 races - of which six of those were victories.

Lorenzo, the only man who could deny Marquez his moment of history, won the race but that was not enough for the outgoing champion to overcome the 13-point advantage his rival enjoyed at the start of the day.

Marc Marquez clinched the world title in Valencia

Bristol boxer Lee Haskins celebrates the retention of his British bantamweight belt when the bell sounded. Supremely fit, Booth cut the ring down in an attempt to pressurise his rival in the seventh, eighth and ninth rounds, but Haskins weathered the storm and increased his work-rate to re-establish his authority during the final quarter of a thrilling contest. Adopting a hit-and-move policy in the clos-

ing rounds, Haskins used superior footwork and hand speed to pick off the challenger as he pressed for the stoppage that represented his last chance to triumph.

Haskins boxed smart down the home straight and came on strong in the 12th and final round to almost force a stoppage himself.

PICTURE: SIMON GALLOWAY

Stopped only twice in his long career and bleeding heavily from a cut over his right eye, Booth demonstrated courage and stamina to remain on his feet until the final bell.

Haskins said: “In the end, it was a decisive win, but it took a lot of hard work. I thought he would tire, but he just kept coming at me.”

Word Cup campaign’s on track, says England skipper Sinfield RUGBY LEAGUE England captain Kevin Sinfield is convinced his side are making progress in their World Cup campaign – but warns they will need to step it up for the knock-out stages.

Steve McNamara’s men swept aside plucky Fiji in their final Group A fixture at Hull on Saturday, coming from 6-0 down to win 34-12 and clinch the runners-up spot and a quarter-final at Wigan next Saturday night.

Their opponents will be the losers of tonight’s final Group B match between France and Samoa in Perpignan and Sinfield says his players will need to improve ahead of the game.

Sinfield said: “We’ve got to learn some lessons quickly again but we’ll roll our sleeves up and get ready for next week.”

There were a few worried faces among the near-capacity crowd of 25,114 at Hull’s KC Stadium when Fiji took the lead with Eloni Vunakece’s 33rd-minute try. But Sinfield carved out an equalising score for second row Ben Westwood just before the break and England ran riot early in the second half with five tries in a devastating 15-minute spell.

“I felt we just needed to get one try and it would settle us right in,” Sinfield said. “Halftime probably came at a good time for us. It let us re-group

and talk about some things and, as you saw, we were a whole lot better at the start of that second half.

“We tried to do that first half but some of those passes didn’t stick. I felt we played the whole game with a great intensity and great speed but we were just a bit too hot with the ball in the first half.”

Former Bradford forward Sam Burgess, who missed the previous week’s win over Ireland through suspension, had a big influence on his return and sparked the purple patch with the key moment of the match. He took advantage of a wicked bounce from Sinfield’s re-start to the second half by gathering possession and

within 25 seconds had charged over for his seventh try for his country.

Burgess’s try put England on the front foot and, as Fiji’s defence were caught napping, Sinfield’s half-back partner Rangi Chase got second rower Brett Ferres and winger Ryan Hall over for tries.

Now on a roll, replacement hooker Rob Burrow finished off a break by George Burgess to touch down and Sam Tomkins got Hall over for his second on 55 minutes to take his total for England to 19 in just 18 appearances.

Sinfield succeeded with five of his six conversion attempts, three of them after taking a heavy head knock.

Marquez had one or two scares with Lorenzo riding aggressively in the early stages, but once the race settled down Marquez was able to back off and waved team-mate Dani Pedrosa through into second place late on.

“I feel... I cannot explain what I feel,” Marquez told BBC Sport. “It is a dream come true – maybe too early because I did not expect to fight for the championship this year.

“Jorge did a very good job, but thanks to all my team.”

With the chequered flag in sight Marquez was able to allow the recovering Pedrosa through into second place, while up front Lorenzo was untroubled as he came home for his third win in succession and eighth of 2013.

Valentino Rossi came home in fourth on the second factory Yamaha, ahead of Alvaro Bautista (Honda Gresini) and Stefan Bradl (LCR Honda), with Britain’s Bradley Smith seventh for Tech 3 Yamaha.

However, there was disappointment for Smith’s fellow Briton and team-mate Cal Crutchlow, who crashed out early in the race.

Elsewhere, Maverick Vinales wrapped up the Moto3 crown with victory in the final race of the season, while Nicolas Terol was the winner in Moto2 after new champion Pol Espargaro crashed out.

Conduct takes a shine to Town Moor The Flat season may be over for another year, but Conduct’s owners have plenty to look forward to in 2014 after the grey trounced his rivals in the Betfred November Handicap at Doncaster.

The mile and a half took some getting in testing conditions on Town Moor but William Haggas’ charge rose to the occasion to win by five lengths in the hands of Seb Sanders.

It has been far from plainsailing to the Highclere Thoroughbred Racing-owned runner, though, as he has suffered a string of injuries

before finally enjoying his moment in the spotlight.

Highclere’s managing director Harry Herbert said: “We are looking forward to next season with him. I’m sure he will give his owners a lot of fun.”

Jack Dexter (100-30 favourite) defied a 6lb penalty in style to record a third course win in the Betfred Goals Galore Wentworth Stakes. while the Listed Betfred Mobile/EBF Stallions Gillies Fillies’ Stakes went to Andrew Balding’s Miss Cap Estel (25-1).

Tony Martin dominated proceedings at Navan yesterday,

with Flemenstar’s second successive Boylesports.com Fortria Chase triumph the highlight of a treble for the County Meath trainer.

Having his first start for Martin since leaving Peter Casey, Flemenstar was sent off the 1-4 favourite against just three rivals.

His jumping did not please everybody as the eight-yearold gave his fences far too much air. But having seen off Realt Mor early in the straight, he just had to be shaken up by Andrew Lynch to hold off the rallying Days Hotel by a length and a quarter.

Ovation is working well for us, says Pipe

BY NEIL MORRICE Nick Scholfield enjoyed a fruitful Saturday at Wincanton as he claimed each of the two Grade Two events on the card with Melodic Rendezvous and Wonderful Charm.

The Jeremy Scott-trained Melodic Rendezvous had to miss an intended Cheltenham Festival run last spring after a minor setback and he showed he would have been a major player there as he ran out a taking winner of the totepool Enter The Ten To Follow Elite Hurdle for Scholfield.

Despite his lengthy absence, Melodic Rendezvous (9-2) showed plenty of determination in getting up to beat the Paul Nicholls-trained Far West by a length and three-quarters.

With Scott at Sandown, Scholfield said: “I was going well following Sam [TwistonDavies, on Far West] when he slipped turning in, then he missed two out. If those things hadn’t happened, he would have scored more convincingly.”

While Scholfield denied Nicholls in the earlier race, the duo teamed up to good effect with 11-8 favourite Wonderful Charm, who saw off Fox Appeal in the Congratulations AP McCoy Rising Stars Novices’ Chase.

Trainer Harry Fry enjoyed a double Ditcheat handler Nicholls said: “He’s a really decent racehorse, but when schooling at home he can stop at one. We gave him another wind op, this time a tie forward which some say is last chance saloon, but it appears to be working. He’s a bit stronger and more mature.”

Standing Ovation (5-2 fa-

vourite) extended his winning sequence to four and made it three straight triumphs at Wincanton with a resounding success for David Pipe and Conor O’Farrell in the Badger Ales Trophy.

O’Farrell bided his time before sending the six-year-old to the front with almost a circuit to run and he had five lengths to spare over Alfie Spinner at the line.

Not surprisingly, connections may look to strike while the iron is hot at Cheltenham on Friday. Pipe said: “Not that long ago we were thinking of getting rid of him. He couldn’t adapt to our work schedule and basically was a bit soft, but then all of a sudden he’s grown up, worked well and hasn’t looked back.”

Harry Fry and Noel Fehily were also in double form, teaming up with Highland Retreat in the Your Favourite Pool Bets At totepool.com Mares’ Handicap Hurdle and Zulu Oscar (5-1) in the Collect totepool Winnings At Betfred Shops Intermediate Open NH Flat Race.

England look rusty with the bat after rain CRICKET

BY DAVID CLOUGH in Hobart England at last got on the pitch, following two days of rain, only to encounter a reversal of fortune against Australia A in Hobart.

The tourists chose to retire out both openers Alastair Cook and Michael Carberry with 318 for none on the board, and then lost three more wickets for 34 runs before Joe Root (58 not out) saw them through to 430 for seven declared as the rain-ruined fixture moved towards an inevitable draw.

Root was required again, behind the stumps this time, when Matt Prior had to stay off the field with a sore left calf as England gave their bowlers a chance of some overdue overs – and their hosts closed out the stalemate on a first-innings 119 for three.

Kevin Pietersen, Jonathan Trott and Gary Ballance were earlier dismissed in single figures in awkward batting conditions after the pitch had spent so long under cover.

As on day one, when Cook and Carberry batted well against the new ball and Australia A’s seam bowlers perhaps did not find a testing length quickly enough, there was sideways movement off the seam.

There was also variable bounce, and it was a combination of the two which cost Pietersen his wicket in his first innings of the tour.

He got off the mark with a clip off his legs off Trent Copeland and added an authoritative drive past mid off from Ben Cutting’s last delivery before rain – which had already caused a delayed start – moved in again to restrict the morning session to just two overs. But then in the first over after the resumption, pushing well forward and typically slightly round his pad,

Federer fails to end difficult year on a high TENNIS

BY ELEANOR CROOKS There will be no happy ending to Roger Federer’s annus horribilis after the six-time champion fell to his old rival Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.

Federer had battled his way into the last four but was well beaten 7-5 6-3 by Nadal, who claimed a 22nd victory in 32 meetings between the pair.

The Spaniard had managed only one set against Federer in four previous matches indoors but the difference in conviction after their respective seasons was all too evident.

While Nadal has won 10 titles and returned to world number one, Federer has managed just one minor trophy and dropped to seventh in the rankings.

The 32-year-old had talked in the build-up about hoping to play freely as the underdog, but afterwards admitted he had only managed to do so “at times”.

Federer said: “I just struggled to stay consistent enough throughout the match, and that’s why he deserved to win. He was better today.”

Struggling to stay consistent enough has been a byword for

Pietersen was given no chance by a delivery from Copeland which nipped into him and kept devilishly low to see him off leg before wicket.

Trott got a thin edge behind, pushing forward to a useful ball from Cutting, and then Ballance’s miserable start to his England career continued.

Batting with his Yorkshire team-mate Root, the lefthander at least opened his ac-

Root was set up by a clutch of early deliveries in his favoured scoring area, behind square on the off side. But he had to work hard too, as did Prior – short of runs for much of this year and batting conservatively against type here to try get a foothold for the winter ahead.

Prior missed a sweep and was leg before to Jon Holland,

Rafael Nadal after securing a break of serve England’s Joe Root stands in for wicketkeeper Matt Prior during final day of their tour match against Australia A and Stuart Broad hastened the teatime declaration when he was well-held by a diving Usman Khawaja at long on.

Broad sought clarification of the low catch as he made his way off, but appeared to stop short of anything more contentious at the start of a tour when he knows his on-field behaviour will be under the microscope among home crowds after his sometimes controversial Ashes summer.

Root had one moment of for-

tune, surviving a confident appeal for leg before by Cutting on 14, but was otherwise assured on his way to an 85-ball 50 as he demonstrated he is at home in the middle order as at the top – where England appear to have decided to deploy Carberry instead.

He appeared comfortable too when required to keep wicket, twice catching the ball via a deflection off James Anderson – first when the bowler snaked one through Alex Doolan’s bat

and pad and dislodged the off bail and then when Khawaja edged behind to go cheaply.

Doolan, a possible for an Ashes call-up, had impressed initially in making all but one of the 32 runs off the bat until he was dismissed.

That included three fours in one over from Broad which cost 18 in all, evidence that England’s front-line seamer – who sat out last week’s draw in Perth – will need more bowling before the first Test.

Dubuisson holds his nerve to clinch first professional victory GOLF France’s Victor Dubuisson overcame some of the biggest names in golf and a Jamie Donaldson hole-in-one to claim his maiden professional victory at the Turkish Airlines Open.

The 23-year-old began the final round with a five-shot lead in Antalya, but failed to make a birdie on the front nine and came under threat from world number one Tiger Woods, US Open champion Justin Rose, Ryder Cup star Ian Poulter and Race to Dubai leader Henrik Stenson.

Dubuisson finally picked up his first shot of the day at the

tenth after almost driving the green at the par four, but when he recorded his first bogey for 33 holes at the 14th he was caught when Welshman Donaldson aced the 180-yard 16th with a seven iron. Rose then birdied the 16th to make it a three-way tie at the top, but Dubuisson held his nerve to pick up a shot at the 15th and finished with a 35-foot birdie putt at the 17th and pitch to six feet at the last for a threeunder-par 69 final round and 24-under total. That was two better than Donaldson, who missed a six-foot eagle putt at the last, and four clear of Rose and Woods – the latter’s strong

Victor Dubuisson holds his trophy

finish little more than a consolation after some indifferent play around the turn.

Dubuisson said: “I just won such a big tournament – Tiger, Stenson, Justin Rose, they were all in contention.”

His win earns him over £700,000, while he will also move into the top 40 of the world rankings – almost certainly enough for an invite to Augusta National for next year’s Masters.

Masters champion and world number two Adam Scott clinched a four-shot victory at the Australian PGA Championship with a final-day 67.

He carded three birdies and

an eagle while dropping just one shot on the par-four ninth as he went round in four under par. That left the Adelaideborn 33-year-old on 14 under for the tournament at Royal Pines, and saw him claim victory ahead of American Rickie Fowler. Fowler, who led by two shots after the first round following his course-record 63, scored 68 to finish on a tenunder total of 274 at the joint PGA Tour of Australasia/ OneAsia Tour tournament.

Scott is the sixth man to win the Triple Crown of Australian PGA Championship, Australian Masters and Australian Open.

Federer’s season, with a back problem certainly not helping.

The positive for the Swiss though is that the end of his season has been much more positive than looked likely when he succumbed to Tommy Robredo in the US Open.

Federer has felt confident in his physical condition again and confidence in his movement and game has been coming back.

He began well against Nadal but once more, he could not sustain it.

Nadal always looked the more solid during the second set and goes through to his second final at London’s O2 Arena, having lost the first to Federer three years ago.

Federer’s last three tournaments have brought him a final appearance on home soil in Basle and semi-finals at the Paris Masters and here, while three of his four wins over top10 players this season have come in the last nine days.

Nadal is now one victory away from the only major title he has not yet won.

The 27-year-old said: “The most important thing is on the toughest surface for me to play I was able to win four matches against top-eight players.

That’s great news for me. It’s a very good way to finish the year. Now remains the last match.”
