Win is great for our confidence, says Johnson BY CHRIS SWEET Beating the Championship’s big guns will boost Yeovil’s confidence for their bottom half ‘cup finals’, according to manager Gary Johnson. The Glovers won their first game since the opening day of the season and their first at Huish Park when they beat Nottingham Forest. Ed Upson gave the hosts a two-goal lead before taking the corner for Byron Webster’s third, just moments after Nathan Chalobah had pulled one back for the Premier League hopefuls. Victory took Gary Johnson’s men off the foot of the table, with the boss quick to stress the importance of the points when they lock horns with their rivals trying to climb clear of the bottom three. “Three points against Nottingham Forest is always massive,” he said. “I was just really pleased that we were a lot more assured than we have been previously in the season and that’s what you have got to be. “You have got to be assured and play your part in a good

Upson and Hennessey inspire Yeovil to a first home victory of the season YEOVIL TN 3 N FOREST 1 BY CHRIS SWEET Wayne Hennessey and Ed Upson inspired Yeovil to a memorable first home Sky Bet Championship victory over Nottingham Forest. The goalkeeper proved imperious throughout the win, including saving a penalty, while midfielder Upson netted with two stunning strikes before setting up a third in a dominant first half. It was arguably the Glovers’ most rounded performance of the season to date as the division’s bottom club belied their position with a vibrant opening 45 minutes and resolute second period. Gary Johnson made two changes to the side that held Brighton & Hove Albion to a goalless draw, Joel Grant replacing James Hayter in attack and Joe Ralls coming in for the injured Fraser Fyvie. The Glovers manager said: “Everything Wayne did was class today and he’s a top goalkeeper. We’re just pleased to have him in while Marek (Stech, broken hand) is rehabilitating. “Ed scored two great goals. They played a big part, as did the other nine out there, in getting that result against a top team.” The Glovers broke the deadlock in stunning style on eight minutes, Upson emphatically
On-loan Yeovil Town goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey saves Simon Cox’s penalty at Huish Park on Saturday volleying home from 20 yards, aided by a slight deflection. On 11 minutes, Forest goalkeeper Karl Darlow was left yelling at his defence as Kevin Dawson went close. Five minutes later, Shane Duffy brought down Simon Cox in the area, referee Mick Russell checking with his assistant before pointing to the spot. However, Cox was denied by Welsh international Hennessey, the stopper saving both the penalty and follow up. Jamaal Lascelles almost headed into his own net on 34
minutes before Darlow acrobatically palmed away Duffy’s header from the corner. On 35 minutes, Cox broke into the Yeovil box but was again thwarted by Hennessey excellence. Upson doubled his and the Glovers’ tally five minutes before the break, again hitting the net with a trademark 20yard drive. But Forest took just two minutes to halve the deficit when Dawson fouled former Huish Park favourite Chris Cohen on the edge of the area. Yeovil failed to deal with the
subsequent set piece and Nathan Chalobah profited from the second unchallenged header to nod in. Webster restored the twogoal buffer two minutes before the break as his towering header from Upson’s corner cleared the line. Switching to a 3-5-2 gave Forest added bite and brought them increasingly into the clash. On 54 minutes, Hennessey kept out Cox at the far post. Eight minutes later, a corner reached Jack Hobbs in a similar position, but the youngster
wastefully sliced high and wide. Substitute Jamie Mackie drove into the box after 65 minutes, but again found Hennessey at his best at full stretch. Hoskins broke for the Glovers on 70 minutes, selflessly laying off for Liam Davis, who rifled into the advertising hoardings behind the goal. A minute later, Hennessey beat away Cohen’s sharp drive with Yeovil a pace behind at the back, replacement Jamie Paterson missing the target. With seconds of normal time remaining, Forest squeezed a right wing cross across goal, but Henderson fluffed his lines. Lascelles then raced clear, but was frustrated by Hennessey at the near post, then heading unmarked at the gloveman from four yards out. There was still time for Darlow to have the final say, parrying a rasping Upson effort as he attempted to complete his hat-trick.

Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson celebrates Championship match – and we definitely did that. “We will strive to get into the top half (of the table), but at the moment we will look at those teams (near the bottom). “We have some big cup finals coming up against Barnsley, Sheffield Wednesday and Doncaster. But if we can take points off the big boys, that’s great for confidence.” Forest manager Billy Davies bemoaned a “bad day at the office” – and rued Cox’s penalty miss. He said: “I was surprised that was Yeovil’s first home win because in the first 45 minutes their appetite was good, their attitude was good and we quite simply didn’t turn up. “Having said that, at 1-0 you can’t afford to miss penalties and that was without doubt a big turning point. “I think they deserved to be in front at half-time and, second half, I thought Hennessey was excellent and deserved his man of the match. “In the Championship, the blue sky doesn’t exist every weekend, there are dark clouds and there will be difficult days ahead with ups and downs, bumps and bruises. “There is no easy game in this league and you have to respect every team. “Your attitude has to be right – and ours wasn’t in the first half. “On another day things could have been different, but Hennessey was excellent.” Yeovil travel to Leeds United next weekend.

We will get it right here – Pemberton BY ANDY STOCKHAUSEN John Pemberton insists that Bristol City head coach Sean O’Driscoll will “get it right” providing he is given time. Under mounting pressure following a winless sequence of 21 League games, the Midlander knew another defeat at Carlisle would have further undermined his position. But a hat-trick from Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and a Scott Wagstaff wonder strike delivered a much-needed 4-2 win at Brunton Park to lift the Robins off the foot of the table and buy the head coach some breathing space. O’Driscoll received public backing from his assistant manager after plotting a first League victory in nearly eight months. “We were bottom of the league and you expect it (pressure) when you are in that position,” said Pemberton. “I know there has been a lot of talk outside of the club, but we are all fully behind Sean and what he is trying to do. “This is a club in transition and it is going to be hard, but
Jay Emmanuel-Thomas slots in his second goal as Bristol City clinch their first three points of the season against Carlisle United at Brunton Park

Emmanuel-Thomas demonstrates his class to earn City their first win CARLISLE UTD 2 BRISTOL CITY 4 BY ANDY STOCKHAUSEN Bristol City’s talisman front man Jay Emmanuel-Thomas frustrates and delights in equal measure. As if to prove the point, he missed an open goal and turned in a performance way beneath his own high standards in defeat at Crewe last week, prompting some Robins fans to question his presence in head coach Sean O’Driscoll’s starting line-up. Seven days later and the former Arsenal man produces the kind of emphatic response that really ought to silence his doubters for some considerable time to come – but then those are the inconsistencies that define a player who has divided opinion throughout his career. When Emmanuel-Thomas is good, he can be very good. Just ask Carlisle, who were blown away by his hat-trick and a great strike from Scott Wagstaff, all four goals delivered within a 34-minute spell in the second-half that could yet redefine City’s season. Trailing to Sean O’Hanlon’s 24th-minute header and one goal down at the break, the visitors were forced to confront the unpalatable prospect
of being cut adrift at the foot of the League One table, potentially five points from safety. Tentative at times on the opening 45 minutes, the Robins failed to win enough second balls to deter a Carlisle side that enjoyed the upper hand and deserved to be in front. Encouraged by O’Driscoll and his assistant, John Pemberton, City’s players emerged for the second half with an altogether more positive mindset and set about imposing themselves on proceedings for the first time. The results were almost instantaneous, EmmanuelThomas stooping to conquer from a close-range header laid on a proverbial plate for him by right-back Brendan Moloney, who worked wonders to keep the ball in play and then deliver a telling centre. Proving the old adage that goals change games, Carlisle reacted badly and the Robins, their tails up, scored another goal within two minutes to fundamentally alter the complexion of the game and effect a dramatic swing in the balance of power. Deployed in an attacking role behind the strikers, Bobby Reid powered forward and slipped an astute pass inside to Emmanuel-Thomas, whose own particular version of the soft-shoe shuffle carried him clear of the covering defence
and invited him to beat Mark Gillespie from 15 yards out. Confidence now coursing through their veins, City’s young players refused to sit back and protect their lead, something they attempted without success in previous games at Port Vale and MK Dons. Instead, they kept their foot on the pedal, continued to force the home side onto the
Scott Wagstaff netted a great goal for City back foot and were rewarded when Wagstaff controlled a lofted pass from the increasingly influential EmmanuelThomas on his chest and found the far top corner of the net with a breath-taking half volley that owed as much to renewed belief as it did to sound technique. Even when Liam Noble pulled a goal back 11 minutes from time, the visitors kept going forward and EmmanuelThomas completed his first senior treble to put the seal on a first League win in 22 games dating as far back as March 9. Having already scored with
his head and right foot, he netted with his left foot after being set-up by substitute Joe Bryan. His was the complete striker’s hat-trick and proved beyond doubt that a team seemingly incapable of keeping clean sheets desperately needs a maverick influence within its ranks. This long-overdue result not only lifts City off the foot of the table and to within three points of safety ahead of backto-back home games against Oldham and Crawley, it also relieves some of the pressure on O’Driscoll and City’s board of directors, who have continued to back him in the face of poor results. One win does not make a season, but it is at least a start and offers a young team something to build on now that they have shed the stigma of the longest winless run in the entire Football League. Although they celebrated wildly at the final whistle, City’s fans have suffered for long enough to realise the importance of keeping their feet on terra-firma this week. How can they do otherwise when the defensive frailties that have done so much to undermine their team this season still persist? O’Driscoll has sought to perfect the balance between defence and attack, yet his team continues to concede soft
goals. Without a clean sheet in League One this term, the Robins were again found wanting when confronted by setpiece routines. This persistent failing reemerged with calamitous results when James Berrett swung over a corner and O’Hanlon rose unchallenged to head in at the far post. And Carlisle’s second goal was also the product of a momentary loss of concentration, Noble being allowed time and space to pick his spot from 22 yards out after the visitors failed to clear a free-kick. But then this was one of those occasions when the result was more important than the performance and City can be forgiven their shortcomings in defence this once. If nothing else, this result suggests that attack may, for now at least, represent the best form of defence for a team in transition.

Bristol City assistant boss John Pemberton everybody is working hard and we want to get it right. “I suppose the biggest emotion after a result like this is relief. Believe me, it has been really difficult. But I can say with hand on heart that everybody has done all that they can and we have not left a single stone unturned. “We’re determined to get it right and we’re giving it a real good go.” O’Driscoll stayed in the dressing room with his players after the final whistle, leaving Pemberton to attend the postmatch press conference. And the former Nottingham Forest coach made a point of thanking the 364 City fans who made the 600-mile round trip to Cumbria. He said: “It is nice that all the hard work has come off for once and people can enjoy a win. This result set us up for two home games (against Oldham on Saturday and Crawley on Tuesday, November 5) and, hopefully, the fans will get behind us. We really do need them. “I thought the fans that came up to Carlisle were brilliant. They got behind us from the start and I’m just really pleased we’ve given them something to shout about. “I would like to thank them on behalf of all the players and the management.” Of City’s match-winner, he added: “It’s well documented what he can’t do. What he can do is score goals and change games and he’s got the perfect hat-trick, one with his head, one with his left foot and one with his right.”

Swindon left to rue missed chances as they fall to second defeat in a row OLDHAM ATH 2 SWINDON TN 1 BY NEIL GOULDING Swindon boss Mark Cooper was left to rue a number of missed chances as his side slipped to a second straight defeat at Oldham. Following the midweek humbling at home by Walsall, the Robins failed to perform during a dismal first half at Boundary Park in which they failed to create a single goalscoring opportunity. They equalised after the break through a James Tarkowski own goal before going on to miss a number of opportunities as they went in search of a winner. The Robins’ profligacy was
punished as teenager Danny Philliskirk struck the winning goal 13 minutes from time. A disappointed Cooper said: “We were a bit flat in the first half. We didn’t really get going and we found ourselves behind. “The second half performance was better, we created quite a few chances and we definitely had the momentum with us. We needed to convert one of those chances, though. “If we’d have gone in front then I think we would have hung on, but fair play to Oldham, they scored a decent second goal and we were forced to chase the game.” Neither side created much in the first half, one which was lit up by a wonder strike from Oldham’s young right-back Carl Winchester. Thirty-three
minutes had passed when the Northern Ireland under-21 international picked up the ball on the right flank before unleashing a superb drive from 30 yards which flew past Wes Foderingham and nestled in the top corner of the net. James Dayton had earlier glanced a header narrowly wide for the hosts, but that had been the closest either side had come to breaking the deadlock before Winchester’s screamer. Alex Pritchard finally forced Oldham goalkeeper Mark Oxley into a save just after the restart, before the Robins levelled in the 56th minute. Jack Barthram played in a low cross from the right and the ball flicked up off the boot of the lunging Tarkowski before looping over Oxley and into the gaping goal. The piece
of good fortune certainly lifted the visitors. Ryan Mason found space just inside the box and curled a shot inches wide, while Nile Ranger should have done better when leapt well but could not direct a header. There was chances at the other end too. Foderingham got down smartly to save James Wesolowski’s wellstruck shot, while last season’s Robins loan-man Adam Rooney fired in an effort which fizzed narrowly wide. Substitute Dany N’Guessan drilled a shot into the sidenetting as the Robins pushed again, but they were to be undone by a brave finish from young Philliskirk with time running out. The former Chelsea youngster dived in superbly to meet
Jonathan Grounds’ cross as he converted at the far post. Cooper added: “We sorted a few things at half-time and got back into the game. “We should have got back into it, but we didn’t defend properly. “We know where we’re going, but we really have to get back on track quickly.” Oldham: Oxley, Winchester, Kusunga, Tarkowski, Grounds, Philliskirk, Wesolowski, Smith, Dayton (Schmeltz 75), Millar (ClarkeHarris 62), Rooney.

Kiwomya leaves job at County Chris Kiwomya has left his post as manager of Notts County “by mutual consent”. Kiwomya joined County in February 2012 as their development squad manager and has been in charge of the first team since February this year following the departure of Keith Curle. On their website, the club said “despite playing an attractive and exciting style of football” it was decided that the two parties would “part company”. County lost 1-0 at home to Preston on Saturday, leaving them bottom of League One, with just two wins from their opening 13 matches. “I cannot express how difficult a decision that this has been for the board of directors,” chief executive Jim Rodwell said. “We would like to state, for the record, that we continue to hold Chris in high regard.” Development squad manager Steve Hodge will take charge of the first team for tomorrow’s league game against Oldham.
O’Keefe marks return from injury with last-gasp winner for Foyle’s men AFC HORNCHURCH 0 HEREFORD UNITED 1 Hereford boss Martin Foyle was relieved to see his Bulls side progress to the first round of the FA Cup after a tough battle at Hornchurch. However, United could hardly have left it any later with Josh O’Keefe’s decisive goal coming in the third minute of injury-time. O’Keefe, Hereford’s second top-scorer, has been out for two
months since breaking an arm at Alfreton on August Bank Holiday Monday. “It’s no coincidence that Josh O’Keefe comes back into the side and we get a goal like that,” said Foyle. “We’ve not really had anyone with the legs to come from midfield and have erred on the safe side – it takes a brave man to get into the box at that stage. “He deserves it, he’s had a long eight weeks out.” Foyle acknowledged that it
had been a tough battle, even though the Ryman League hosts were reduced to ten men five minutes after the break when skipper Elliott Styles was sent off for a foul on Chris Bush. “Both sides struggled to put two or three passes together on what was a very difficult pitch,” said Foyle. “The character was there, but the quality was hard to find today.” Hereford had the better chances in the first half and
could have been three ahead at the break. Eric Odhiambo saw an early effort brilliantly saved by home goalkeeper Inigo Echepare and then fired another good chance wide. Michael Rankine should have done better when he found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper. After Styles’ dismissal, Hereford dominated play but were rarely able to open up shooting opportunities
against a determined home rearguard. But then, just when an Edgar Street replay looked certain, O’Keefe struck. Rankine and Rob Purdie combined to send Dan Walker away on the right and his cross was bundled in at the far post by the former Lincoln City midfielder. “I know there is a lot of work to be done and I do get frustrated,” said Foyle. “But I’m delighted to go
through, it’s been tough this season, but this is a little sweetener for the club. “The supporters were fantastic today. They’ve travelled all this way and really got behind us. “It was a needed win for the changing room and for me. I might be able to relax a little now. “This is a start for us again – it has been a bit dour, but now a win like this could spark us off again.”

Santos shows maturity in fine display BRISTOL ROVERS 0 CHESTERFIELD 0 BY RICHARD LATHAM Alefe Santos provided some strong evidence that Bristol Rovers are building the right mentality into their young players as well as nurturing some exciting talent. Known as Alfie within the club, the 18-year-old winger found himself up against a veteran of more than 600 League games in 35-year-old left-back Ritchie Humphreys. The ex-Hartlepool stalwart is still a formidable player at League Two level and emerged from an intriguing duel with plenty of credit. What impressed about Santos was that he never got disappointed if his end product was less than threatening and remained ready to take on an opponent nearly twice his age at every opportunity right up to the final whistle. It would have been easy to shirk that responsibility and take the option of more safe passes. Instead, Santos followed to the letter the advice of manager John Ward just before kick off. “I told Alfie not to worry if his first cross flew behind the goal or got blocked, but to just keep on trying to get balls into the box,” said the Rovers boss. “He is a quiet kid, but a very good listener and he showed he had something about him today.” Ward was sufficiently impressed to leave Santos on for the whole of the game when it would have been easy to substitute him in the effort to protect a point in the closing stages. Faith in his youngsters is part of the experienced manager’s make-up and he is as concerned about developing the right attitudes as improving the skills of his rookie professionals. There was no questioning the commitment of any Rovers
player in this game. What the current team lack in quality they make up for in effort and a clean sheet against high-flying Chesterfield was a just reward. The visitors looked the more likely to break the deadlock, particularly in the second half when Eoin Doyle spurned the best chance of the game and Steve Mildenhall’s long outstretched left leg kept out a goal-bound shot from Gary Roberts. But, with Tom Parkes and Will Packwood strong at the heart of the defence and Ollie Clarke aiding his back-four from a deep midfield role, Rovers had enough about them to resist. They might even have nicked all three points at the end. Clarke’s 20-yard shot was well struck and brought a decent save from Tommy Lee, diving to his right, as the fans at the Blackthorn End prepared to celebrate. Those supporters had again played their part in remaining patient and behind their team, despite a lack of cutting edge up front. Clarke’s shot was his side’s only effort on target. Yet they were applauded off that the end in a manner that must have given the younger members of the team a huge lift. It might have been a different story had Doyle not unaccountably elected to try to lob the tall Mildenhall when breaking clear onto Armand Gnanduillet’s 48th minute pass. The striker got horribly underneath the ball and sent it sailing over the crossbar. It was not Doyle’s day as a second caution for a foul on Santos in the closing stages saw him dismissed by referee Iain Williamson. Rovers must improve as an attacking force if they are to move clear of the League Two drop zone. Ryan Brunt and Eliot Richards have both had their injury problems this season and not surprisingly looked rusty as a partnership. Both need a run of games.

Ward hails chairman Higgs as all at Rovers stick together BY RICHARD LATHAM John Ward paid tribute to Rovers chairman Nick Higgs after seeing his young side hold high-riding Chesterfield to a goalless draw at the Memorial Stadium. Asked whether setbacks over the plan to move to a new ground had led to frustration and affected the team this season, the manager said: “No, simply because my chairman has been excellent. “He has kept me in touch with the new stadium business, without giving me details of every meeting, and has left
me to get on with the football side of the club. “When he has had a disappointment with the ground, I have pulled him through and encouraged him to keep going. And when we have had disappointments on the pitch, he has done the same for me. “I can’t do much about the ground, but it is a big incentive to me to keep pushing my young players. “Imagine Alfie Santos running out at a new ground with perhaps 12,000 or 15,000 people watching. If he wanted to go on and play for Manchester United, what a fantastic stage
Bristol Rovers boss John Ward makes a point to the bench
it would be to keep practising on. I know my place and I am trying to get football team to where the chairman would like it to be because he’s a great supporter.” Eighteen-year-old winger Santos caught the eye with a promising display against Chesterfield, giving a vastly experienced left-back in Ritchie Humphreys all the problems he could handle. Ward said: “Ritchie is a gentleman footballer. Coming off the field he told me ‘your rightwinger is a good kid and he’s going to be a good player’. “When you hear things like
that from a fellow professional, that’s respect. Alfie has not yet got what I call Football League strength, with 50 or 60 games under his belt, but he has lasted a good 90 minutes and excited the home fans. “Don’t expect too much or for him to play like that all the time. We have to bear with our kids when their form dips, but Alfie is a talent we will nurture as best we can for our club. “He is used to playing at youth team level in front of 30 people and it’s a huge leap to play in League games that matter big-time to 5,000 or 6,000 spectators.”
Larkhall moved six points clear at the top of the Premier Division after a 5-0 home win over Hengrove with all of the goals coming after half-time. Nat Auckland put the league leaders in front before Tyler Sibbick hit a quick-fire hattrick and Jamie Lyons rounded things off. Cadbury Heath went fourth with a 4-0 victory at Radstock, Sam Winfield scoring twice with Matt Huxley and Leon Bentley also on target. Bristol Manor Farm beat high-flying Street 1-0 with Pete Sheppard getting the goal. Craig Wilson scored a late equaliser as Bitton claimed a 1-1 draw at home to Hallen, Tom Collett having given the visitors the lead on the hour. Willand defeated Bishop Sutton 1-0 thanks to a David Steele penalty, while Frank Paxton scored both goals as Ilfracombe triumphed 2-0 over visiting Sherborne. The biggest winners of the day in the First Division were Westbury, who won 6-0 at home to Corsham as the visitors finished with just eight men. Anthony Brown converted a brace of penalties, while Simon Millard also claimed a double with Joe Murray and Mark Young also on the mark. With leaders Bradford in cup action, Wellington closed the gap to seven points with a 4-2 home victory over Cheddar. Shepton Mallet edged out Calne 3-2 with Lucas Ward netting the winner after Ash Wilmott and Joe Morgan had each cancelled-out Glenn Armstrong goals for the visitors. Wincanton defeated Portishead 3-0 with Lee Gale scoring twice and Rob Turnock once, while Chippenham Park lost 2-1 at home to Barnstaple. Cribbs drew 1-1 at Wells with Dave Gilroy quickly levelling after Francis Rolli opened the scoring for the hosts, while Chard and Almondsbury UWE finished 2-2, Keynsham and Devizes also drew 2-2 and Ashton & Backwell drew 1-1 with Oldland. ■ In the preliminary round of the Les Phillips League Cup, Premier Division strugglers Winterbourne battled to a 4-3 triumph at First Division table-toppers Bradford. Ash Knight twice put the visitors in front, but Josh Brigham and Dan King each levelled matters before Sam Jordan put the home side ahead for the first time. However, Karim Rendall equalised for Winterbourne and Ben Dowdell then snatched a winner. Slimbridge progressed with a 2-1 home win over Warminster, Liam Harding and Jamie Martin scoring before Louis Sparey replied. Odd Down beat Longwell Green 3-2 on penalties following a 0-0 draw, while Phil Ormerod and a Steve Smith penalty gave Gillingham a 2-0 win at Welton. Darren Watts and an Ian Jeffrey own goal saw Bridport to a 2-0 victory at Melksham, while Buckland thrashed Roman Glass St George 6-1.

Cheltenham have to settle for a draw but all the signs remain encouraging NORTHAMTPON 1 CHELTENHAM 1 BY JON PALMER Cheltenham Town were left to wonder how they did not win this one-sided contest – but the signs are highly-encouraging. After plenty of tinkering with formations and personnel, boss Mark Yates is making clear strides towards extracting the best out of a talented squad and there is still plenty of time for them to make an impression this season. The diamond midfield has resulted in Cheltenham’s best performances and they followed-up their comfortable home victory over Morecambe with another accomplished display. It should have resulted in three more points and, with a more clinical edge, Cheltenham could have won by an emphatic margin. A combination of fine goal-
keeping and tame finishing left them frustrated, but there is no doubt that if Cheltenham continue to perform as well as this they are capable of roaring up the table. A hamstring injury to Jermaine McGlashan meant Russ Penn returned to the narrow midfield four. The skipper and Jason Taylor put in tireless shifts, with David Noble and Sam Deering providing the creativity and it was Cheltenham’s most fluid passing display since last season. Up front, Byron Harrison was picked ahead of Jamie Cureton and the Robins’ leading scorer took only ten minutes to justify his recall. Following up his late strike against Morecambe after going on as a substitute, Harrison applied a confident finish after Deering’s perfect pull-back. The move was initiated by right-back Sido Jombati and
Northampton struggled to cope with Cheltenham for much of the first half. The Cobblers could not contain seven-goal Harrison, who directed a diving header wide after a measured cross from the unlikely source of defender Troy Brown in the 17th minute. Home goalkeeper Matt Duke was not called into action often enough, however, and Scott Brown had to pluck a fierce shot from ex-Robins midfielder Darren Carter out of the air. Clearly lacking in confidence, second from bottom Northampton were gifted an equaliser as Cheltenham’s habit of conceding at the worst possible times continued. A gifted ball player, Noble was punished for trying to be clever in the wrong area as his pass towards Keith Lowe and Troy Brown dissected the central defenders. On-loan striker Luke Norris
skipped past Scott Brown and applied a neat finish to deflate Cheltenham in the 44th minute. The second half was far more open, with Cheltenham always looking the more likely to regain the lead they had thrown away so carelessly. Northampton looked threatening on the break on occasions, but Cheltenham had a succession of gilt-edged chances to wrap up maximum points. After some slick passing and two step overs, Harrison attempted an acrobatic overhead kick from Penn’s cross, but the contact was poor in the 52nd minute. Left-back Matt Richards thumped a free-kick just over the bar and Duke smothered at Troy Brown’s feet before frustrating Cheltenham with three more alert saves. Noble should have done better in the 67th minute after being set up by the excellent
Deering, who revelled in his attacking midfield role. Penn and Deering combined to set up Terry Gornell in the 76th minute, but Duke was once again equal to it and three minutes later Duke denied Gornell again after a pass from substitute Jamie Cureton. The travelling fans were in good voice throughout and they headed home disappointed not to have witnessed an away triumph, but Cheltenham are slowly beginning to look like an effective team.

York game is now a ‘must-win’ for Robins, says boss Yates Cheltenham must learn to finish teams off if they are to thrust themselves into the promotion shake-up this term, admits boss Mark Yates. They dominated Saturday’s match against Northampton, but failed to turn their superiority into three points as the match at Sixfields was drawn. After their worst start to a League Two campaign, Cheltenham have now won three and drawn one of their last six
matches, but Yates knows Cheltenham should have been celebrating back-to-back wins for the first time this season. “We should have had all three points because we were brilliant, but when we were 1-0 up in the first half and dominant without ever getting above 65-70 per cent, the lesson is to put our foot on their throats and kill them off,” Yates said. “There is much more to come from us and at
Cheltenham Town boss Mark Yates
times on Saturday we were finding it almost too easy. “I wanted us to really grab the game by the scruff of the neck because it was too easy at one stage and I don’t mean that disrespectfully, but we were coping and there was no threat from them. They had one shot on target all game so it’s disappointing not to win, but there were a lot of positives.” Yates said that the two points dropped at Northampton has
made next Saturday’s home match against York a “must win” game. “Our supporters were superb behind the goal and I thought we showed a lot of togetherness and a lot of quality,” Yates said. “We have to beat York at home next week now and I have said that to the boys – it’s absolutely must win because we want to get up the table quickly.”
Gloucester secured their place in the FA Cup first round for a second consecutive season with two late goals. Darren Mullings had struck an early second-half equaliser and, with City on top, 18-yearold Sam Turl scrambled the ball home with ten minutes remaining before stalwart Tom Webb got a late third. Charlie Moone had scored a shock goal for the Ryman Premier League outfit, seeing the Beavers head into half-time in the lead. But superb and savvy substitutions from City manager Dave Mehew saw the Tigers equalise with Scott Wilson playing his part, before Turl and Webb’s late heroics. Despite City looking the more dangerous, Hampton took a shock lead. A poorly taken free-kick was cleared away, but the following pump into the area from Darren Powell found hot-shot Moone, who manoeuvred to score a looping header over Mike Green for the lead. The second half became a different proposition for the Tigers. Looking at defeat, boss Mehew chopped and changed and brought on Wilson. The results were immediate as the striker played Mullings through and he smashed home to equalise. With ten minutes remaining in the game, Gloucester took the lead as teenager Turl knocked home his first-ever goal for the club after Mullings’ original shot was saved by goalkeeper Rodney Chiweshe. The tie was sealed in the final minute with the Tigers record appearance holder Webb heading home after Wilson had broken away on the counter-attack to seal City’s spot in the FA Cup first round. ■ Gloucester host Solihull in the Skrill North tomorrow (7.45pm).

Bridgwater lose unbeaten run
McNab bags terrific treble
BRIDGWATER TOWN 0 MANGOTSFIELD UNITED 3
BISHOP’S CLEEVE 0 CLEVEDON TOWN 5
Bridgwater lost their eightmatch unbeaten record in Division One South & West of the Calor Southern League and slipped back to ninth place in the table as Mangotsfield ran out comfortable winners. United could not have got off to a better start as the unmarked Matt Sysum headed home from a free-kick after only two minutes. Ben Hunt made up for squandering an earlier chance when he headed in a cross from Ryan Bath at the far post to make it two on 40 minutes. Adnan Hiroli made sure of the points for the visitors, claiming a freakish goal in the 82nd minute. ■ Bridgwater’s scheduled league game at Shortwood tomorrow has been postponed due to the hosts’ FA Cup replay with Aldershot.
Ross McNab fired a hat-trick as Clevedon thumped five goals past Bishop’s Cleeve in Division One South & West of the Calor Southern League. Playing with a strong wind at their backs on a very uneven surface, the home side settled slightly quicker than the visitors, but both defences were able to thwart early chances. The visitors took the lead in the 33rd minute when Joe Flurry and Adie Adams worked the ball out to Ollie
Lenihan leaves it late for Yate YATE TOWN 2 THATCHAM TOWN 1 Heavy pressure during the second half finally paid off when Yate grabbed a stoppagetime winner through Martin Lenihan in this Calor Southern League Division One South & West game. After a mediocre first half, it was Thatcham who went in front on the hour-mark when Tom Gooding scored. Yate equalised in the 65th minute when a fierce shot from Jake Cox was not held by Thatcham goalkeeper Aaron Carter and Lewis Haldane scored from the rebound. Jordan Rogers then headed over the crossbar as Yate pressed for the winner. It finally arrived when Lenihan hammered the ball home after Carter had failed to deal with a cross from Cox and lifted Yate into 11th place in the table.
Wood winner proves crucial CIRENCESTER TOWN 4 WIMBORNE TOWN 3 Sean Wood snatched a late winner for Cirencester after Wimborne had come from two goals down to level in Division One South & West of the Calor Southern League. The Centurions led through Steve Davies’ early penalty and doubled the lead soon after the break thanks to Lee Smith. Mark Gamble halved the deficit on 66 minutes, but Shane Bumphrey restored the twogoal cushion with quarter of an hour remaining. However, James Stokoe immediately responded and Gamble tied the scores with seven minutes left. This time, though, it was the hosts that hit back as Wood grabbed the vital goal five minutes from time. ■ Cirencester play away to Godalming tomorrow evening (7.45pm).

Lawson’s dream strike earns Shortwood a replay SHORTWOOD UNITED 1 ALDERSHOT TOWN 1 John Evans was given a few quizzical looks by his coaching staff when he decided to throw Sean Lawson into the fray late in Shortwood’s FA Cup fourth qualifying round clash with Aldershot. The nippy striker may not have even been available had another Gloucestershire club not done the Meadowbank outfit a favour. Available he was, though, and a hero he became as Lawson’s last-minute leveller
earned Shortwood a replay at Aldershot tomorrow (7.45pm). Lawson was due to play for Shortwood’s reserve side in a Hellenic League Division One West clash with Lydney – but the game was moved to Friday to allow the whole club to focus on the Aldershot tie before being postponed due to heavy rain anyway. Not that joint-manager Alex Sykes and coach Andy Hoskins were immediately on board with Evans’ thinking. “When I said to Sykesy and Hoskey that I was going to bring Sean on they looked at
me as if I was being funny,” Evans said. “But he’s a busy player and has done really well for our reserves this season. “Sean told me he was an Aldershot fan when the draw was made and it’s a great story that he’s gone on and scored. “But it was no more than we deserved. Their manager came over at the end and told us that we had deserved it.” Lawson was left to reflect on what he described as the best footballing moment of his life. “I grew up in Aldershot as I’m from an army background and I moved up here one or two
years ago, but still have a lot of mates down there who go to the games,” Lawson said. “We were due to play Lydney on Friday, but that was called off at the last minute .To go from that to scoring against Aldershot, it’s incredible.” Brett Williams had given Aldershot a first-half lead from the penalty spot, but they were denied victory at the death. Adam Mann’s cross was deflected into the six-yard box and Lawson threw himself at the ball amid a flurry of flying boots and somehow turned the ball into the net.
Rovers stunned by Stortford as miserable run continues FOREST GREEN ROVERS 0 BISHOP’S STORTFORD 1 Dream job or otherwise, the vacant managerial post at Forest Green might just need filling sooner rather than later to arrest a hideous spiral of decline. Defeat at the hands of parttime opposition was not the scripted response to Dave Hockaday’s departure, particularly given Gary Seward’s apparent determination to ditch the caretaker tag and stamp his own mark on a misfiring team. Yet there was a crushing feeling of familiarity as Reece Prestedge’s 52nd-minute strike sent the part-timers through to the FA Cup first round – a fifth straight reverse for Rovers in all competitions. Seward’s bold team selection said much about the failings of
the previous regime, with 4-4-2 replacing the usual 4-3-3 formation at home and the previously unfavoured Paul Green recalled at right-back. Riding high in Skrill South, the visitors began in confident
Reece Styche returned to action for Forest Green Rovers fashion and defender Sean Francis forced Green into a last-ditch clearance after getting on the end of a corner. Lax home defending from another corner presented a chance to Prestedge, who met Matt Johnson’s delivery with a
sweet volley and forced Sam Russell into a flying save. Yan Klukowski sent a freekick wide for the hosts before Russell came to Rovers’ rescue again, producing a double block to keep out powerful drives from Prestedge and Anthony Church. Johnson floated a free-kick over the wall on 29 minutes, but could only locate Russell, and Stortford goalkeeper Joe Wright was finally called into meaningful action to keep out a Danny Wright effort. That seemed to lift Seward’s men and they came close to breaking the deadlock when Klukowski latched onto Magno Vieira’s clever pass and was foiled by the feet of goalkeeper Wright. Danny Wright was denied by his namesake after surging clear before half-time. Forest Green’s hopes of
maintaining their momentum were quashed six minutes into the second period, as another corner was not properly cleared and Prestedge reacted quickest to swivel and drill home the opening goal. It was almost two when Stortford’s top scorer Kyle Vassell pounced on a mistake at the back and fired inches wide of the far post. Rovers substitute Matthew Barnes-Homer saw an effort blocked on the line after a scramble from a corner and, moments later, pounced on a weak back-pass by Callum McNaughton, but could only lift the ball over the bar. The only consolation for the home fans was the appearance of Reece Styche from the bench 12 minutes from time – the striker’s first competitive outing for eight months following knee surgery.
Barnes, who sent in the final cross for McNab, who crashed the ball in to the back of the Bishop’s Cleeve net. Less than ten minutes later, the visitors went two goals ahead when Barnes took a freekick just inside of the Clevedon half and the ball found McNab, who nodded back to Matt Thorne on the edge of the box and he slotted the ball just inside of the upright. On the hour, Bishop’s Cleeve had Alex Hoyle sent off for bringing down McNab in the penalty area and Thorne made it a three-goal cushion from the resulting spot-kick. Four minutes later, Louis Feeley crossed from the left and the ball somehow slipped right through the defence to McNab, who had the simple job of tapping in to make it four. Two minutes from time, McNab completed his hat-trick when pouncing on an error. ■ Clevedon visit Tiverton in the Red Insure Cup tomorrow evening (7.45pm).
Taunton are hit by penalty woe MERTHYR TOWN 1 TAUNTON TOWN 0 Taunton put up a spirited fight before losing out by the only goal to high-riding Merthyr in Division One South & West of the Calor Southern League. In fact, the goal came from the penalty spot in the 56th minute, converted by man of the match Kerry Morgan. It was awarded after Kayne McLaggon had been brought down in the box. The lively Morgan also hit the crossbar twice as Merthyr enjoyed more possession than Taunton, who were able to field a stronger side than in recent weeks. The closest Taunton came to scoring before a 500-plus crowd was a header by Jamie Price in the second half, which sailed over the crossbar. Taunton gave a debut to goalkeeper Joe Perry, who spent two seasons with Merthyr, signed the previous day after the release of ex-Dorchester goalkeeper Tim Sandercombe.

Weston made to pay for not taking chances WESTON-SUPER-MARE 0 HAYES & YEADING 3
Brislington substitute Omari Simms attempts to make progress down the wing during his side’s FA Cup fourth qualifying round tie at home to Welling on Saturday
PICTURE: MICHAEL LLOYD
Meacham proud as Brislington bow out with heads held high BRISLINGTON 0 WELLING UNITED 1 For 67 minutes, Brislington’s players dared to dream of reaching the FA Cup first round for the first time in the club’s history. However, a miscued punch from otherwise immaculate goalkeeper Chris Humphries was nodded into the net from a few yards out by Welling’s Lee Clarke and the dreams started to fade. Still, Jeff Meacham’s side continued to defy the fourdivision gap between the teams and came close to putting their name in the hat for the first round draw when right-back Tom Godsell swivelled in the penalty area and
caught his 82nd-minute leftfoot volley sweetly, but unfortunately for Brislington, it went straight into the arms of goalkeeper Luke Butcher. Few would argue that Welling deserved their win, but only just. Brislington’s defensive discipline and hard graft was such that a side standing ninth in the Skrill Premier were restricted to a handful of chances. Much of the credit for that must go to an excellent back four, with skipper Jason Hughes a commanding presence at centre-back. Mike Rimmer showed good composure on the ball in a deep-lying central midfield role, while substitute Omari Simms impressed out wide
after replacing hamstringvictim Alex Lambert. In the end, Brislington could not pull off another upset, to go alongside the wins over Truro and Weston-super-Mare, but Meacham was understandably proud of his side’s display. “I was very pleased and proud about the way the lads went about it,” said the former Bristol Rovers striker. “To play a team that are four leagues above us and to give them a real scare, and the way we went about it, was very good. “We were a little unfortunate with the goal, but we could have pinched one at the end. Tom Godsell caught his volley a little too well, if anything. I also thought the free-kick that led to their goal was a little
harsh. The ball’s been blasted at our player and it’s hit his hand, but he didn’t stick his hand out.” Brislington’s fans in a clubrecord attendance of 700strong crowd played their part in creating a good atmosphere at Ironmould Lane, although the throwing of four flares on to the pitch in the second half took enthusiasm too far. Welling had lots of corners in the first half, but all of them were well defended by the hosts. The nearest the visitors came to scoring in the first 45 minutes was when centre-half Blaine Hudson fired a shot just over the crossbar. On a couple of other occasions, Brislington were indebted to goal-saving tackles
from Danny Barwood and Hughes. At the other end, Brislington’s only clear opening of the first half fell to Frank Gingell, whose shot was blocked. After the Welling goal, Simms had a shot saved, then Gingell fired wide and Godsell saw his volley saved. Brislington had enjoyed stoppage-time winners in the previous two rounds, but there was no fairytale ending this time. Tomorrow it will be back to Toolstation League Premier Division business with the visit of Hallen to Ironmould Lane. “They’ll be about 33 people here for that one,” said Meacham, “but the fans know our level of football and they’ll enjoy that one as well.”
Lewis header puts Salisbury through BATH CITY 0 SALISBURY CITY 1 A thumping header from Theo Lewis two minutes before halftime was enough for Salisbury to end Bath’s hopes of a place in the first round proper of the FA Cup. The hosts perhaps paid the price for giving too much respect to the Skrill Premier side, with the starting XI looking set up to play a containing game rather than take the tie to their visitors. It worked to an extent, with Salisbury offering only a sporadic threat, but Bath struggled to create any chances of their own and were generally restricted to longrange shots. Bath were boosted by the return of striker Andy Watkins to the starting line-up after a lengthy injury absence,
while midfielder Ben Adelsbury was also back after missing last week’s draw at Whitehawk. Ross Stearn had to make do with a place on the bench as Bath elected to field four central midfielders, with Joe Burnell playing just in front of the defence in a 4-1-3-2 formation. Josh Low was due to be on the bench only to pull a calf muscle in the warm-up. Salisbury forward Dan Fitchett had a sight of goal in the third minute, but the Whites striker’s angled drive flew over the near post. Lewis also curled an effort just over from the edge of the box but, apart from that and a Watkins cross which was just too high for strike partner Dave Pratt, the opening quarter was nondescript. The first goal almost arrived just before the half-hour mark
when Fitchett managed to get to the Bath byline and chip the ball back towards midfielder Clovis Kamdjo, who rattled a header against the bar from six yards. There was a lucky escape for
Salisbury’s Theo Lewis scored the only goal at Bath home goalkeeper Jason Mellor a couple of minutes later when he started to go for an Elliott Frear corner, but then changed his mind and was relieved to see the ball fly across the box without anyone touching it. However, he was beaten a
couple of minutes before halftime as Salisbury broke the deadlock, Lewis powering a close-range header into the net after charging 20 yards to ensure he beat the flat-footed defence to Frear’s looping cross. It was a blow to the hosts, who needed a bright start to the second half. Watkins almost provided it following a quick break by Sekani Simpson from a Salisbury corner, but the striker’s well-hit shot was straight at former Bath goalkeeper Will Puddy. Watkins was replaced by Elliott Chamberlain in the 56th minute and Stearn was introduced for Chris Allen just after the hour, the winger greeted by a big cheer from the four-figure crowd. Salisbury also made their first change in the 64th minute,
with Angus MacDonald coming on for Frear, and the substitutions contributed to a scrappy, disjointed showing from both teams. The visitors had a chance to double their lead when Lewis had a shot blocked by Dan Ball but cleverly back-heeled the rebound to Chris McPhee, who showed rather less composure as he blazed his angled drive over the bar. Bath’s final change was to send on youngster Dan Bowman for Simpson with ten minutes to go. However, the hosts were still struggling to create clear-cut chances, although Puddy was forced into a low save by Adelsbury’s strike from the edge of the box. ■ The lack of a replay means Bath will visit Farnborough in the Skrill South tomorrow (7.45pm).
Weston were given a lesson in clinical finishing by three second-half substitutes, who had hands in all three goals of an entertaining game in the Skrill South. The home side gave a debut to new signing from Bridgwater, Bradley Middleton, who slotted in well to the defence in place of the suspended Jamie Laird. The Seagulls made a bright start, Ashley Kington going close in the first minute, while Chas Hemmings’ deflected effort on 12 minutes was brilliantly turned over his crossbar by goalkeeper Mikhael Jaimez-Ruiz for Weston’s second corner. Later, Hemmings twice went close, as did Dayle Grubb, while Martin Slocombe had a dangerous low cross cut out by the goalkeeper. The introduction of former Bath, Salisbury and Newport forward Tom Bird completely changed the game, though, with Jake Reid bursting through the defence and rounding goalkeeper Luke Purnell, who had come off his line following Bird’s pass on 52 minutes. As Weston tried to get into the game, Naby Diallo forced a full-length save from JaimezRuiz and Kington had a strong effort beaten out by the visiting goalkeeper. However, Hayes struck again on 67 minutes when Luke Williams’ pace beat the defence to fire past Purnell. Three minutes from time, Reid struck once again, turning substitute Allen Bossman’s low cross past Purnell from a couple of yards.
Paulton back up to second PAULTON ROVERS 3 CINDERFORD TOWN 1 Paulton claimed a hard-fought victory to move up into second place in Division One South & West of the Calor Southern League. Rovers dominated the first half, but had to wait until the 43rd minute to take the lead when Brandon Barnes’ cross was handled by Andy Lewis and Nick McCootie tucked away the penalty. The lead was doubled in the 48th minute when Mike Perrott scored following good work by Josh Klein-Davies. Cinderford’s Kieran Thomas had a shot blocked by Mike Reaney, before the home side made it three in the 61st minute. Player-coach Josh Jeffries laid the ball off to Barnes, who cut in from the left and found McCootie. He took the ball to the byline and cut it back for Klein-Davies to rifle the ball past Alex Harris. The visitors pulled a goal back when Lewis Sommers slipped the ball through to Thomas, who fired home, but the Foresters were unable to mount a comeback.

Newcastle United’s Hatem Ben Arfa and Sunderland’s Sebastian Larsson battle for the ball during yesterday’s Barclays Premier League match
Derby day lift cheers Poyet SUNDERLAND 2 NEWCASTLE 1 Sunderland boss Gus Poyet urged his players to use their derby victory over Newcastle as a platform from which to launch a drive for Barclays Premier League safety. Substitute Fabio Borini’s 85th-minute piledriver secured a 2-1 win at the Stadium of Light, the Black Cats’ first in the league this season, and lifted them from the foot of the table. However, Poyet’s men remain six points adrift of 17th place despite ending a run of six successive defeats, and the Uruguayan is looking for more of the same after matching predecessor Paolo Di Canio’s feat of beating the Magpies in just his second game at the helm. The 45-year-old said: “Look, I didn’t like to see the table. When you are bottom, it’s not nice. We are off the bottom – that’s something; we beat the biggest rivals – that’s even bigger. “Now we need to keep going. We need to start passing the ball better, we need to keep believing and we need to do different things. This is what we needed so, from now on, there are no excuses because we needed a lift and there is no better lift than this one, so I am very happy for the players and absolutely delighted for the fans.” Borini, a 69th-minute replacement for Adam Johnson, won the game in thrilling style when he smashed an unstop-
pable shot past Tim Krul from Jozy Altidore’s lay-off to finally kick-start Sunderland’s season. His decisive goal came with Newcastle looking the more likely victors after Mathieu Debuchy had cancelled out Steven Fletcher’s fifth-minute opener 12 minutes after the restart. But with derby specialist Shola Ameobi, who has seven goals against the Black Cats to his name, having been thrown into the fray, it was fellow replacement Borini who stole the headlines. Poyet said: “Fabio was so close to playing, the way he has been training, his attitude, how positive he is. But sometimes you can’t play for whatever reasons, because of the shape, because of the team, because of the time. If someone deserved to score today, it was Fabio Borini.” Opposite number Alan Pardew, however, was convinced his side should have emerged victorious, and was unhappy with a free-kick awarded by referee Lee Probert for Cheick Tiote’s challenge on Fletcher in the lead-up to the goal. Pardew, who is the first Newcastle manager to lose back-toback derbies since 1966-67, said: “When we got the equaliser, the more the game went on the more control we got. “We had two or three good chances, I thought, at 1-1 and if we got the second goal, the game was over because they would have been dead.”
Jose Mourinho hailed Fernando Torres after a Jekyll and Hyde performance delivered a 2-1 victory over Barclays Premier League title rivals Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. The Spain striker demonstrated his best and worst attributes and responded from missing a sitter to hit the crossbar and then net a 90th minute winner. In a pulsating contest which saw a stunning Sergio Aguero strike cancel out Andre Schurrle’s opener, set up by Torres, a rush of blood saw Joe Hart add to his recent catalogue of errors. Torres exploited the mix-up between England stopper Hart and Matija Nastasic to score his first Premier League goal of the season and second of 2013 to seal a dramatic win. “The goal comes in a very intelligent action by Fer nando,” Mourinho said. “(A) misunderstanding by Joe and Nastasic, but Fernando was very clever the way he believed. Fantastic performance (by Torres) and even better because it was after an easy goal missed. That makes it even more valuable. “When a striker misses an easy early chance, many times he’s affected for the rest of the game. It looks like that moment was the moment where Fernando thought ‘I will be the man of the match’. “He’s sharp, he’s powerful,

Stay up to date with the latest from the Premier League every day online – www.westerndailypress.co.uk the belief is high. We are happy for him, but we are all happy because it’s a very important victory against a team we couldn’t beat last year. “We played against them lots of times; even in friendlies we couldn’t beat them.” Mourinho celebrated the goal and the extension of his unbeaten Premier League run at Stamford Bridge to 65 games by leaping into the crowd, where he finished the prior home match with Cardiff following his touchline dismissal. The Portuguese entered the section of support behind the away dugout, where his son has a season ticket. He said: “Chelsea is guilty because I want to buy a season
ticket for my son and they give a season ticket for my son behind the opponents’ dugout. They have to give my kid tickets behind my dugout. “I promise that I went for him. But this is the drama of the last minute. Last year I beat Man City in the last minute in Madrid, I slid on my knees, I destroyed my trousers. I lost in the last minute against Bayern Munich, somebody put a knife in my back. “This is emotion of the game. If they believe that my son is there, great. If they don’t believe, I apologise if they feel that I did something wrong.” City boss Manuel Pellegrini was incensed and refused to shake hands with Mourinho at the final whistle. Mourinho had no complaints. “I don’t feel it is a lack of respect,” Mourinho said. “If he was sad because of the result. I understand. If he was sad thinking that I was doing something wrong by going to celebrate there, I accept that too. No problem.” Pellegrini said: “I didn’t shake hands. I didn’t want to shake hands.” The Chilean was left to rue the further loss of “stupid points” away from home after defeats at Cardiff and Aston Villa. He said: “We repeat the story. We had absolutely the control of the game, we played very, very well in the second half. “We didn’t have any problem with Chelsea but finally in the last minute we lost. We are losing stupid points from the beginning. The three defeats that we have away, we did not deserve one of them. “The reality is that we have. We have time to (respond). I’m very happy with how the team is playing everywhere, at home or away. Today in a very difficult stadium here against a great team we had the control and we did a very good game.” Pellegrini refused to openly discuss the errors which resulted in Torres’ winner, with Hart’s worrying list of mistakes growing. “I do it privately with the players,” added Pellegrini, who declined to answer questions specifically related to Hart. If Hart’s confidence is low, Mourinho felt Chelsea had a similar mental block with regards to City after studying every meeting between the sides in the 2012/13 season, including the post-season friendlies in St Louis and New York, in the build-up to yesterday’s match. Mourinho was overjoyed with the first half performance, in particular. “(Chelsea were) afraid to say ‘we want to win, we can win’,” Mourinho added. “We played very, very well. If we can play like this against Man City, why can’t we play like this in every match in the Premier League? That is the self-esteem we need. “We played fantastic against a fantastic team. And that’s not easy. We were better than them. And that’s not easy.”

eave Mourinho jumping for joy
Hat-trick from Suarez keeps reds in the race Luis Suarez scored a brilliant hat-trick as Liverpool thrashed West Brom 4-1 to keep on the coat-tails of Barclays Premier League leaders Arsenal, while Manchester United needed a second-half fightback against Stoke to avoid seeing their season go from bad to worse. Arsenal briefly opened up a five-point lead over nearest challengers Liverpool and Chelsea after beating Crystal Palace 2-0 in Saturday’s early kick-off, but Brendan Rodgers’ men responded in emphatic fashion to cut the gap back to two and Chelsea did likewise on Sunday. Suarez scored twice in the opening 17 minutes and then completed the fourth hattrick of his Anfield career ten minutes into the second half as the Uruguayan continued his rich goalscoring form since returning to the Liverpool side. West Brom pulled a goal back through James Morrison’s penalty but Suarez’s strike partner Daniel Sturridge chipped home a brilliant goal to wrap up the scoring 14 minutes from time. It was nowhere near as comfortable for stuttering champions Manchester United up

Bruce fumes at penalty TOTTENHAM 1 HULL CITY 0 Hull manager Steve Bruce blasted Tottenham’s late penalty in their match at White Hart Lane on Sunday afternoon as a “joke decision”. The Tigers had performed well in stifling Spurs’ attacking threat for much of the game before referee Michael Oliver awarded a penalty to the hosts ten minutes from time which was duly converted by Roberto Soldado to give Andre Villas-Boas’ side a 1-0 victory. The controversial spot-kick came after Jan Vertonghen’s cross was adjudged to have been handled by Ahmed Elmohamady, but Bruce was left fuming at the call. “It is an absolute joke decision,” he said. “It hits his leg for a start and then goes up and hits his arm,
how do you give a penalty in that situation? “We have more directives and meetings and all this nonsense, they are all getting assessed up in the stands but then they give decisions like that which just baffles me and I have to ask the question, would we have got it? “The disappointment I have is that I have lads playing today who are desperate to play in the Premier League. “They are desperate to make a fist of it and they are now questioning themselves after Everton last week, where we got some decisions against us and today where, in my opinion, he couldn’t wait to give it.” Bruce was seen remonstrating with Oliver at full-time but admitted any argument was futile.

Emotions run high in final moments SWANSEA 0 WEST HAM 0
Swansea’s Nathan Dyer takes the ball past West Ham’s Razvan Rat
Swansea manager Michael Laudrup felt his side were denied a clear penalty during their 0-0 draw with West Ham at the Liberty Stadium. In a turgid game of few clear chances the Hammers’ deadball threat troubled their hosts all afternoon, with Angel Rangel hooking a long Razvan Rat free-kick off the line, while Guy Demel and Kevin Nolan also spurned sights of goal. Jussi Jaaskelainen made two point-blank stops to deny Chico Flores and Wilfried Bony at the other end, but the hosts were most aggrieved referee Phil Dowd’s decision to turn down a stoppage-time appeal for handball against Joe Cole. The West Ham sub had his arm raised as he leapt to block
a Nathan Dyer cross, and Laudrup had no doubt his side should have had a spot-kick. “I think we deserved more, but on the other hand Jaaskelainen had made two or three fantastic saves, so you can’t do anything about that,” he said. “There was a lot of emotion in the end which was about the penalty which was not given. “I know I always say that a referee or a linesman only has one second, but I mean it is so clear when you have your arm up like that. “If you have your arm down you can talk about hand to ball or ball to hand, but when you have your arm up there and it hits you, normally nine out of ten times it is a penalty. When you have a case like this in the 91st minute, there are a lot of emotions,”
the road at Old Trafford as they survived a major scare to beat Stoke 3-2. Having fallen 11 points adrift of top spot following Arsenal’s victory, United could ill afford another off-day against a Stoke side without a win in their last five league games. However, David Moyes’ men, who have already lost three times in the league this season, suffered a nightmare start as Peter Crouch’s close-range finish put the visitors ahead after just four minutes. Robin van Persie drew the teams level in the 43rd minute, but Stoke stunned the home side again by reclaiming the lead on the stroke of half-time through Marko Arnautovic’s fine free-kick. Two goals in the final 12 minutes from Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez saved United’s blushes though as they come from behind to win. Earlier on, Arsenal beat managerless Crystal Palace despite playing the final 25 minutes with a man less following Mikel Arteta’s sending off. Arteta put the leaders ahead from the penalty spot at the start of the second half but the Gunners captain was then handed his marching orders. Referee Chris Foy deemed the Spanish player had prevented a clear goalscoring opportunity when he tangled with former Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh some 35 yards out from goal and showed him a red card.

Weston race to nine-try haul WESTON-SUPER-MARE 67 OLD CENTRALIANS 8
WDP-E01-S3
Ford’s kicks prove just enough BATH 15 GLOUCESTER 13
Weston returned to winning ways as they ran in nine tries to leave league newcomers Old Centralians rooted at the foot of the National three South West table. Nineteen points from the boot of James Mackay, through eight conversions and a penalty, saw the fly-half pass 100 points for the season. The Seasiders had to shuffle their starting line-up before the start after flanker Paul Morrissey pulled-up in the prematch warm-up. Adam Godfrey, 18, was drafted in from the 3rd XV match to start on the bench and make his senior debut late in the game. Mackay opened the scoring with a penalty before the visitors came back through a try for full-back Lewis May but midway through the half they had flanker Dan Knapman sent to the sin bin. Weston got tries from No 8 Tom Main and wing Matt Watkins with Mackay converting both. Fly-half Connor Gwilliam reduced Old Cents arrears with a penalty. Weston hooker Craig Withers crossed the line. Mackay added the extras and then scrum-half Dan Waldon landed a drop goal for a 27-8 half time lead. Weston secured a try-scoring bonus point through Withers second try of the game, converted by Mackay. Old Cents had No 8 Dan Slater sent to the bin as Weston were awarded a penalty try. Mackay converted and then added the extras to the next try from replacement wing Mike Bellak. Three more tries in the final quarter saw a brace from full-back Harvey Skelton and one for wing Harry Jones with Mackay converting two.

Chippenham can’t win away BARNSTAPLE 36 CHIPPENHAM 13 Chippenham remain without a victory on the road this season in National Three South West. Lock Tom Skelding got the first of Barum’s six tries after four minutes. Centre Tom Boreham landed a penalty for the visitors before hooker John Turner was the first to see a yellow card. Five minutes after being restored to full strength, they then had lock Matt Bye sent to the bin. Boreham added a second penalty just before half time to nudge the visitors ahead home skipper Winston James ran in from 20 metres to touch down. Fly-half Matt Down converted for a 12-6 lead at the break. Chippenham struck first after the restart with a try from full back Jon Squire, converted by Boreham, before Barum took a grip on the game scoring three tries in the final half hour. Full-back Will Topps scored under the posts and Down converted. Rob Elliott scored a converted try and wing Toby Williamson got the final try.
George Ford kicks a penalty for Bath during the win over Gloucester
PICTURE: CLARE GREEN
England fly-half hopeful Freddie Burns gave Bath a huge fright in front of a packed Recreation Ground with a charge-down try on the hour but the home side nervously closed out the victory. Bath relied on the boot of George Ford for all their points. The home side utterly dominated possession and territory but their misfiring midfield never really looked like creating a try as Gloucester scrapped for every loose ball, at the cost of 19 penalties. Burns, Bath-born and bred, also scored all his side’s points. With only Davey Wilson kept back by England, fourthplaced Bath were able to name a strong squad, bringing back lock Dave Attwood after four weeks out with a rib problem to play against his former club. Bath had not lost at home in the Aviva Premiership in 2013, their only defeat in 12 matches at the Rec in all competitions being to Stade Francais in an Amlin Cup quarter-final on April 6. Gloucester, by contrast, had managed just one away win in seven matches so far this season. Showers swept the ground before kick-off and in the sodden conditions Ford needed no invitation to push Gloucester back into the corners. Within five minutes, he was late-tackled by Matt Kvesic and the young fly-half kicked the opening points. Bath continued to press but lineout frailties undermined their efforts even before Rob Webber threw too long on his own 22 and almost presented prop Dan Murphy with a try at the other end on 22 minutes. Murphy was injured and had to be replaced by Yann Thomas. Gloucester had already had their problems in the scrum, however, and when the visiting pack again splintered under pressure, Ford kicked his second penalty on 27 minutes. In a stop-start first half, Ford made it 9-0 on the half-hour when Darren Dawidiuk tried to strip the ball from Anthony Perenise while off his feet. Almost immediately, Burns pulled back three points when
Jonathan Joseph was guilty of a deliberate knock-on. Ford had two more chances to send Bath in with a twoscore lead at half-time but the ball drifted wide both times. The visitors conceded three penalties in as many minutes at the start of the second half though and Ford accepted the chance to make it 12-3 from wide on the right. As Bath, now in control of the lineout too, pounded away at the right hand corner, Gloucester continued to leak penalties. They ignored the inevitable warning from referee Wayne Barnes and lost Rupert Harden to the sin-bin soon afterwards. Ford missed the relatively straightforward penalty though and then agonisingly watched his opposite number, Burns, hit the post from 45 metres. Worse was to follow as Burns charged down an attempted clearance by Ford, picked up the ball just short of the line and dived over. The conversion was a simple affair. The Bath fly-half steadied his nerves to kick his fifth penalty but Burns hit back with an excellent effort on 67 minutes to narrow the scores to 15-13 after Watson was yellowcarded for a deliberate knockon. As the tension mounted, Ford scuffed an attempted drop-goal with his left foot and was off-target again with a difficult penalty. The home fans crowd were on their feet, especially so when Matt Garvey stole the ball from breakaway Gloucester captain Tom Savage in full flight. With time up on the clock Garvey’s support was good, and Peter Stringer kicked to touch – to the audible relief and appreciation of the home crowd. Bath: Watson, Rokoduguni, Joseph, Eastmond, Banahan, Ford, Stringer, James, Webber, Perenise, Hooper, Attwood, Garvey, Louw, Fearns.

We dominated most facets of the game, says boss Bath head coach Mike Ford was satisfied with a win that cemented Bath’s place among the top four in the Aviva Premiership. Bath are third after the sixth round of matches and Ford said: “I thought we dominated the game. “We put ourselves under pressure, though, missed a few goal kicks, conceded a chargedown try. But apart from that, I thought we were dominant in
most facets. Conditions didn’t help. But we believe we’ve only scratched the surface with this team. “Our front five were really good, really dominant. Not just the front five – the whole eight. “There were some pleasing things. I’m not disappointed about winning derby games!” He added: “We kicked our goals but Freddie took his try well and we got a bit jittery
towards the end. There were plenty of positives though.” Soaking weather denied Bath the chance to really shine in attack but Ford was quick to praise his side’s discipline in a fiery derby clash, with the hosts limiting Gloucester flyhalf Freddie Burns to just three penalty attempts at the posts. “We talk about taking the referee out of the equation and I think we did that,” said Ford.
“If you watch our offside line you can see clear daylight between that and the ruck. We want to give referees no reason to penalise us. “We got it wrong once or twice, unluckily I thought, but that’s possibly one of the reasons we won the game tonight because of our discipline. “We believe we have only just scratched the surface of what we can achieve in attack.”

Hartpury look worthy leaders BOURNEMOUTH 12 HARTPURY COLLEGE 50 Hartpury stayed top of SSE National Two South with a crushing victory at fellow high-fliers Bournemouth. The Hartpury forwards were in an uncompromising mood from the first whistle and a pushover try from a scrum opened the scoring on 11 minutes, No 8 Tom MacDonald claiming the points at the base and Billy Burns converting. Bour nemouth’s Andy Spikings saw yellow after yet another set-piece disintegrated, with the prop subsequently replaced by Andrew Wiseman at the end of the sin-bin period. Jack Hennings burst through off a shortened lineout to release Ross McGowan for a Bournemouth try, improved by Dan Pollard. Hartpury led at the break courtesy of a Burns penalty following Ben Stevenson’s yellow card for Bournemouth. Steve Leonard gathered Bur ns’ chip and set Alex Woodburn free for another seven points for Hartpury. The Lions, for all their woes up front, refused to submit and crashed over for a second through the impressive Hennings with Woodburn in the sin bin. But that was as good as it got for Bournemouth, who were previously unbeaten at home, as Hartpury’s Chris Fortey scored from a catch-and-drive before Craig Jackson latched on to Burns’ superb flat pass to seal it. Reuben Haile barged his way over on the short side with 10 minutes remaining. Hartpury inflicted further punishment in the final play when Terry Fanolua’s pass located Woodburn in the corner, with Burns’ conversion racking up the half-century.

Gloucester’s lack of discipline let rivals off the hook – Davies Gloucester director of rugby Nigel Davies believes ill-discipline is costing important points in their push for Premiership precision. The Cherry and Whites coughed up 19 penalties in their 15-13 derby defeat to Bath. Rupert Harden was sinbinned on 54 minutes during a match in which Gloucester spent a lot of the time on the back foot. And Bath’s front five muscle
caused the visitors havoc in the scrum. George Ford kicked five penalties but he missed a further four that could have put Bath out of reach before Gloucester came in with a shout of victory. Davies rued his side’s poor decision- making at both the breakdown and in open play, gifting Bath points from the tee. He said: “I thought it was a
poor game of rugby. I was disappointed with some areas of our performance but the biggest disappointment for me was our discipline. “If we remained disciplined maybe we could have snuck a win. I feel in the second half the momentum changed and we had more field position and we wanted to maintain some pressure on Bath. But because of our ill-discipline, we didn’t and ultimately, in the context
of this game, it was a huge disappointment.” The squad for England’s opening autumn international against Australia is expected to be announced on tomorrow and Davies believes Burns was in fine form. “Freddie was great,” Davies continued. “I thought he managed the game well. “We managed to get some field position in the second half but the trouble was we let
them in too easy through our ill-discipline. “You are not going to control games if you don’t have the platform to work off. We battled manfully and we do that but we have got to take more control of our games. “Our set-piece needs to be better than it is at the moment and our discipline has to be a lot better than it is. When you put those two elements together, it is very frustrating.”
Taunton maintained their 100 per cent record at Hyde Park this season in National Two South. Amphill, making their first ever visit to Taunton, led 22-8 at one stage in the second half before the home side fought back to gain their fourth successive home victory. Taunton, however, had to soak up a lot of pressure, particularly towards the end as Ampthill tried to save the game – but were held up by a solid defence. Aaron Struminski (2) and Jake Childs scored tries for Taunton with Jamie Forrester kicking three penalties and a conversion. Amphill’s points came from tries by Dean Adamson, Joe Sproston and Elliott ClementsHill, while Rory Teague landed a penalty and two conversions. Taunton will be looking for the first away victory of the season when they go to Bishop’s Stortford on Saturday.

Tipuna leads way with high tempo start BRISTOL 33 NOTTINGHAM 18 BY STEVE COTTON Bristol lost one GKIPA Championship point last week – over what the Rugby Football Union deemed a breach of regulations in their recent win over Bedford – but they gained one back within 33 minutes against Nottingham. Flying out of the blocks – once again – Bristol’s first-half performance had everything that is good about the way Andy Robinson and Sean Holley want them to play: pace, speed of thought, invention, movement and finishing. But the way director of rugby Robinson spoke after the match, his enduring memory of this – Bristol’s fourth straight bonus-point victory in the Championship – is more likely to be of a flat, untidy and error-riddled second-half display than the free-scoring fireworks of the opening 40 minutes. Both the good and the bad are important to understand if Bristol are to win promotion back to the Aviva Premiership next June – and both were on display at the Memorial Stadium. Bristol have improved dramatically since suffering their only defeat of the season against Cornish Pirates on the opening day – but the standards now in place are such that much more is still expected. “It’s something we’ve got to look at, and something we’ve got to address, because it’s right for us to look at ourselves when we’ve got a good scoreline and we’ve got the five points,” said Robinson. “We’ve improved since what we did against Cornish Pirates but at times in that second half, Nottingham made it difficult for us to play. They stopped the momentum of the game, they put bodies around the ball, and we weren’t accurate enough. “That’s what teams are going to do against us – and we’ve got to be able to deal with it. If that happens in the first
half, that’s maybe because you’re just getting used to the game. But if it happens in the second half, that’s where it becomes slightly disappointing.” On the plus side, there was yesterday’s first half. Bristol have made it clear they want to blow teams away in the opening stages – and they again backed up their words with a barnstorming start. The bonus point was safely banked within 33 minutes, with Nottingham pushed onto the back foot as Ruki Tipuna again inspired Bristol with a display of energy and innovation. Bristol’s high-tempo game-plan suits the scrum-half down to the ground – and he pulled the strings in broken play. An early Matthew Jarvis penalty proved little more than an inconvenience, as, when the visitors knocked on from the restart, George Watkins scored the first of his two tries. He went over after Tipuna and Marco Mama had combined from the scrum. Watkins, who is now behind only Sean Marsden and David Lemi when it comes to league tries for Bristol, added a second a few minutes later – and this time it owed everything to his own anticipation and reading of the game. The winger was in a perfect position to snaffle a pass from Jarvis, intended for one of the Nottingham fly-half ’s outside backs, but still had to race in from 45 metres to complete the score. Fewer than 60 seconds later, he was almost in for a second – pouncing to make another interception – but play was brought back for an earlier Bristol knock-on. Even though Tom Calladine hit back for Nottingham, going over when the visitors caught Bristol napping with a short line-out, Bristol’s response was urgent and devastating. From a close-range scrum, after Bristol had kicked a penalty to touch and then earned a second penalty, centre Ben Mosses went jinking to the line, to open up an eight-point
Dings secure vital victory DINGS CRUSADERS 14 REDRUTH 13 Dings made it two wins on the trot after edging past Redruth at Landseer Avenue to rise to 12th in SSE National Two South. Wing James Oakley and flanker Matt Lane scored tries for Crusaders, with full-back Mark Woodrow adding the extras. Reds wing Dan Bond claimed a brace of tries, which went unconverted by Ashley Hoskins, but the fly-half did manage to slot a first-half penalty. Oakley raced in from 35 metres for the opening try. Woodrow added the touchline conversion. Bond scorched in for an unconverted try and Hoskins kicked a 35th-minute penalty to nudge the visitors ahead. Redruth went into the interval holding a 8-7 advantage. Bond claimed his second unconverted try on 54 minutes to edge Reds into a 13-7 lead, before Crusaders mounted a stirring fight back that resulted in Lane touching down, after being sent clear by Plummer who had crept unnoticed down the blind side, fourminutes later. Woodrow was again on target with the conversion to secure the one-point win for the Bristol side.
Clifton fizzle after the break SOUTHEND 34 CLIFTON 10
George Watkins scored two tries for Bristol against Nottingham in the GKIPA Championship lead for his side. That became 15 points when the quickthinking of Tipuna and pace of Watkins led to Tristan Roberts diving over out to seal the bonus point. Nottingham lost prop Campese Ma’afu to the sin-bin – and then, shortly after halftime, shipped a fifth try when Roberts struck again. But Martin Haag’s side, despite lacking the overall quality they had last season, showed they are not bereft of fight and character as they came back into the game. The result was never in doubt once Roberts had crossed for the bonus-pointclincher – but the stamp of
complete control Bristol had been threatening to put on the game did not materialise either. Nottingham gnawed away at the Bristol line for five minutes, winning a series of penalties and line-outs, before replacement Alex Shaw – with his first touch – burrowed over. Even at that stage, there remained 16 minutes plus stoppage time – but the closing stages were unusually uneventful, leaving Robinson frustrated, albeit in a much different way to how he had been against Pirates back in early September. That alone is a mark of Bris-

Robinson calls on Bristol to be more ruthless over 80 minutes BY STEVE COTTON Premiership rugby is what Bristol want – but Andy Robinson felt his team’s performance fell well short of that level despite claiming a bonus-point victory over Nottingham at the Memorial Stadium. Bristol recorded a fourth straight GKIPA Championship bonus-point win – but Robinson was in no mood to celebrate. Instead, he cited the drop-off in performance after half-time
as a reason why Bristol must improve if they want to be playing top-flight rugby this time next season. Bristol scored five tries against the Green & Whites yesterday, with four of those coming before half-time. The second half was a flat affair, punctuated by errors, and director of rugby Robinson – who wants to see his players hitting the heights – was not amused. “The first half pleased me – but I’m disappointed by the second half,” he said. “We had
an opportunity to put Nottingham away – and we didn’t do that. “We’ve got to hold our hands up when we don’t perform as well as we want to – and I thought our second-half performance dropped off. I’m disappointed, because, having got ourselves into the position we got ourselves into, we’ve got to be able to kick on and be more ruthless – and we weren’t. “It’s right to be critical when we’re winning games, and it’s right to look at how we can
improve. We’re pleased with the five points, but we’ve got to make sure that we keep improving, because we don’t want to be in the Championship next season – we want to be a Premiership side. “That was not a Premiership performance, and that won’t get us to the Premiership.” Since losing against Cornish Pirates on the opening day of the season, Bristol have won four Championship games in a row – all with bonus points – to open up a five-point cushion
over fifth-place Pirates. Not that merely being in the play-offs will satisfy the former England and Scotland boss’s ambitions, as his team chase a place back in English rugby’s big time. “If I look at where I thought we would be at the beginning of the season, we’re ahead of where I thought we’d be,” he said. “In that respect, we’ve got to be pleased about that, but I really want us to drive our standards and drive where we’re trying to go.”
Clifton’s disappointing form on the road continued as they lost their third away game in succession in National Two South to drop to sixth place. The Henbury-based side made the long journey to Essex shorn of nine squad members, and went down by four tries to one. They have several players missing in the pack and struggled at lineouts as a result. While Clifton were more than capable of holding their own in the back division, their weakened front line struggled against a big and physical home pack, and as a result, were unable to establish any worthwhile possession and field position. Southend took the lead in the fifth minute after pushing Clifton off their own scrum before feeding wing Mark Billings to score a try converted by stand-off Bradley Bur. Clifton responded with a Charlie Foley penalty, and took the lead when wing Auguy Slowik raced in from long range to dot down under the posts, giving Foley the easiest of conversions. It was Clifton’s only try. The visitors continued to probe for openings, but Southend’s defence was solid, and their constant heavy tackling kept Clifton onto the back foot. The home side dominated the second-half with tries from Jim Callard, Stephen Bailey, Clive Claire and a penalty try. Reg Harrison added two conversions and a penalty to secure the win.

Pats struggle to heavy defeat
WORCESTER WANDERERS 13 OLD REDCLIFFIANS 8
AMERSHAM & CHILTERN 30 OLD PATESIANS 0
Old Redcliffians dropped two places to fourth in the National Three South West after slipping to their second defeat of the season. Centre Mike Dodge claimed all 13 points for the Wanderers, who opened the scoring after a flowing move Kieran Morris fed Dodge who scored wide on the right and converted his try. Old Reds broke down the right and Henry Bird crashed over for a well-taken try. Then the home side enjoyed some possession and Dodge knocked over a penalty. The Old Reds hit back, but a yellow card for skipper Gareth Owens and a game ending injury in the same phase of play to hooker Richard Levett led to the Wanderers playing with 14 men and uncontested scrums for 10 minutes. Dodge kicked another penalty after the break. The Wanderers were just edging the contest before the Old Reds moved upfield and got a penalty from fly-half Jack Steer to reduce the arrears to five points. All the possession and territory was with the Old Reds, but the Wanderers stuck to their defensive task. Old Reds allowed their frustration to get the better of them and conceded a couple of penalties which allowed the Wanderers to clear their line.
Old Patesians were ruthlessly crushed in their SSE National Three South West encounter. Amersham centre Matt Gilbert kicked an early penalty. Pats were playing into a strong breeze but that was no excuse for missing a number of first-up tackles, one of which created a simple overlap for centre Dave Skelton to cut inside for a try improved by Gilbert. Amersham fly-half Tom Smalley used the wind to set up attacking platforms in the Pats half and from a lineout prop Stuart Day burst straight through the Pats forwards for the softest of tries. Pats’ scrummaging was the only part of their game which gave them some control with assured possession on their own feed, but when the ball was released their backs play lacked penetration. There were a few injections of pace and menace from centres James Butler, Callum Stonier and full-back George Hughes, but they became isolated and swallowed up by the Amersham back row marauders. Amersham full-back Chris Jack sent in flanker Adam Henderson for a try close to the posts converted by Gilbert. Pats No 8 James Pettigrew was sent to the sin-bin for not rolling away from a tackle. Gilbert kicked the penalty for a 25-0 half-time lead. From the Pats restart dropout another dash from Jacks caught Pats flat-footed and left wing Tim Lloyd scored a try. Pats’ bigger pack failed to adapt when the wind dropped with scarcely a worthwhile pick up and drive and a strangely impotent back row. Yellow cards were dished out to Dan Pettinger and George Bartlett for Amersham and Darren Moore for Pats, but there were no further scores.
Cheltenham seal six-try win CHELTENHAM 39 NEWBURY 19 Cheltenham overcame a setback before the match to beat Newbury Blues in South West One East. Cheltenham suffered a blow in the warm-up when Ryan Hill injured an ankle and Nick Clifford was drafted into the replacements. Newbury Blues took the lead when full-back Tommy Martin picked up the ball from a loose clearance to run in a try and Ricky West converted. Cheltenham captain Tommy Lait dotting the ball down after a rolling maul and Ollie Young slotted the conversion. Wing Richard Morris scored an unconverted try after to put Cheltenham 12-7 ahead and Richard Athey added a try. James Milne touched down for the fourth try and Young added the conversion for a 24-7 lead. Newbury finally got their act together with prop Paul Sayers scoring a try and West converting . Cheltenham lost Tim Acheson to the sin-bin for killing the ball. Dan Thorne scored a Newbury try for a 2419 deficit at half-time. In the 54th minute hooker Ross Griffiths grabbed Cheltenham’s fifth try and Young kicked the conversion to extend their lead to 31-19. Acheson grabbed a sixth try for Cheltenham. Just before the end Newbury captain Graham Stewart was shown a yellow card and Cheltenham’s Young kicked a penalty to seal the win.
Cinderford prop Will Davies scoring one of his two tries during the National League One match against Old Albanians
Deacon is relieved as Cinderford gain four points CINDERFORD 15 OLD ALBANIANS 10 Cinderford prop Will Davis scored two second-half tries to edge out Old Albanians and gain a much-needed win in a SSE National League One. The home side had the advantage of a strong wind behind them in the first-half but Mike Wilcox was off target with two penalty attempts in the opening ten minutes. Lawrence Rayner was also off target with a kick at goal for the visitors, before opening the scoring with a penalty after 28 minutes.
Wilcox levelled the scores just before half-time, but missed another penalty chance to give his side an interval lead soon afterwards. Play continued to evenly contested after the break until Albanians prop Sam Staff and second-row Billy Johnson were shown yellow cards in quick succession and Cinderford took advantage to score twice while they were off. First a lineout catch and drive was finished off by Davis and following a strong run by Lance Randall saw the ball quickly recycled and Davis took a pass in mid-field before
crashing over near the posts, with Wilcox converting for a 15-3 lead after 65 minutes play. Restored once again to 15 men the visitors were soon putting pressure on the home try line, but a mixture of solid home defence and more handling errors meant that there were only five minutes remaining when scrum-half Stefan Liebenberg went over to score from a quickly taken penalty, with Rayner converting. There was plenty of tension in the closing moments and a yellow card for replacement Chris Bundy but Cinderford held on for victory. Cinderford
director of rugby Andy Deacon said: “There was a lot of pressure on us today so we had to get the win. Yes, it was scrappy at times and it was errorstrewn but we had to get four points minimum. “I’m not jumping up and down about the performance. “We were pretty resolute when we had to be and there were individual performances I was very happy with. I thought the two props were excellent. Individually we have a good selection of players, but we need to be a bit more collective and less flat in midfield.”
Hannam hat-trick subdues Avonmouth and lifts leaders AVONMOUTH OLD BOYS 17 LYDNEY 35 Twenty-eight unanswered second half points at Barracks Lane enabled Lydney to maintain their grip at the top of the National Three South West table by taking maximum points against struggling Avonmouth Old Boys. This was league leaders Lydney's first visit to Avonmouth for nearly 40 years and the hosts gave them a hostile reception that they did well to subdue. The result looked to be going against the form book until Josh Hannam's second half hat-trick sealed another bonus point win for the visitors. It was Avonmouth who took the lead after five minutes with a try from full-back Elliot Nightingale, followed five minutes later by a touchdown
for flanker Phil Dickinson from a catch and drive. Skipper Matt Belbin, in his 100th game in the Mouth colours, converted the second but despite finishing the match
Josh Hannam scored three tries for Lydney
any celebrations were ruled out as he awaited results of a scan yesterday on a suspected fractured jaw. After a period of staunch defending by the home side, the visitors were again pressurised when Mouth wing Billy Reynolds charged down a
clearance kick and the gathered the ball to score under the posts and Belbin converted. This all seemed to spring Lydney into action, resulting in a period of possession and field position which led to their outside centre Chris Holder ghosting around a drifting defensive line for a try just before half time. Full-back Tony Wicks converted. Mouth went in to the break 17-7 up and the scoreline remained unchanged for the opening 15 minutes of the second half after which the Severnsiders started to work the elements, which were now in their favour. Wing Josh Hannam broke the deadlock with a try for the visitors followed by a touchdown from scrum-half Sam Arnott. Mouth were forced to defend for large periods, where
the penalty count ran away from them. No 8 Greg Long paid the price for the team’s offences with ten minutes in the sinbin. Lydney took advantage of the extra man to collect a tryscoring bonus point as prop Paul Price crossed for the visitors’ fourth try. Despite Mouth being back to full strength. Lydney went in search of another score which resulted in Hannam claiming his second touchdown in the final minutes. Wicks converted the four second half tries. Lydney are well on course for an immediate return to National Three South, with a seven point cushion at the top, but there are stiffer tasks ahead. It could be argued that if the tries keep coming all will be well – but their poor starts do nothing for the supporters’ heart rates.
Welling boys fire up Cleve SOUTH WEST ONE WEST Cleve stretched their lead at the top of South West One West to seven points and maintained their 100 per cent record with a 55-10 home win over Clevedon. Brothers Anton and Gregg Welling scored two tries apiece as they took full advantage of North Petherton’s 24-10 defeat at Camborne, who moved up to fourth in the table. St Austell are now second after beating Bridgwater and Albion 22-17 away despite a spirited fightback by the home side, while Petherton slip back to third. Hornets gained a hardearned 18-16 away win over Bideford while Cullompton piled up the points against bottom club Coney Hill, winning 62-12. Coney Hill are still without a win this season and are on minus five points. Thornbury followed up the previous weekend’s victory over Chard by winning 26-21 at home to Sidmouth.

Brook makes a statement with super triumph
Tickner finds it tough going at Ashton Court
BOXING
ATHLETICS
Kell Brook bolstered his world title credentials with an eyecatching fourth-round win over Ricky Hatton’s conqueror Vyacheslav Senchenko in his native Sheffield. The unbeaten welterweight has been in the frame for a title shot for over a year, but saw a fight with IBF champion Devon Alexander fall through three times due to injuries to both men. Brook now hopes to secure a fight with the winner of Alexander’s November 30 defence against Shawn Porter after an exciting performance which saw him knock Senchenko down twice – but get hurt himself too – at the Motorpoint Arena. The Sheffield fighter, whose record now reads 31-0 with 21 early wins, said: “I believe I’ve made a statement here. When I hurt him I knew I could take my time. I nearly got lackadaisical and I got caught myself, but I thought ‘I’m going to get you back for that’. “I wasn’t really hurt, it was just a bit of a buzz. But I’m fit and healthy and felt great tonight. I’m glad to have got revenge for Ricky.” On the undercard, Olympic super-heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua continued his professional apprenticeship with a destructive secondround stoppage win over journeyman Paul Butlin. The Londoner beat Emanuele Leo comfortably with a first-round stoppage earlier this month and was obviously expected to make it two wins from two against Melton Mowbray’s Butlin. He did that in style, dominating the first round before forcing the technical knockout by putting Butlin down in the second and prompting the referee to end it. ■ Veteran Bernard Hopkins kept hold of his IBF lightheavyweight crown with a unanimous points victory over Karo Murat in Atlantic City. The 48-year-old came into his own in the heart of the fight to take the contest 119-108, 119108 and 117-110. The German showed his resilience in the later rounds, but roared on by a supportive Atlantic City crowd, Hopkins was a comfortable winner.

Kingston Hill and jockey Andrea Atzeni, right, go on to win the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster on Saturday

Varian may add Kingston Hill to 2000 Guineas field HORSE RACING Trainer Roger Varian says he will have “a good eye” on supplementing Kingston Hill into next season’s 2000 Guineas following his exemplary victory in the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster on Saturday. The Mastercraftsman colt only made his debut five weeks ago and after he won the Group Three Autumn Stakes at Newmarket, Varian and owner Paul Smith took the decision to supplement the colt at a cost of £17,500 on Monday. It was a brave move by Smith, who is the son of Coolmore’s Derrick Smith, coowner of Johann Strauss, who ended up the four-and-a-half lengths runner-up behind the 7-2 favourite. Newmarket-based Varian
said: “He’s always looked good and been a good mover. If you look at him he’s a great model. “We’ll have to see how he winters and what he’s like in the spring. People have said is he a ten-furlong, mile-and-ahalf horse, but he has the pace for a mile and travels so well. “He has good acceleration and will be in everything and we’ll have a good eye on the Guineas.” Varian also saddled Soaring Spirits (7-1) to take the Universal Recycling Apprentice Handicap and complete a 390-1 treble for Oisin Murphy. The star claimer also struck on Dungannon and Highland Colori for his boss Andrew Balding, taking the stable’s tally for the year past 100. Night Of Thunder staked his
claim to be in Richard Hannon’s 2000 Guineas team with an impressive victory in the Scott Dobson Memorial Doncaster Stakes. “That was very impressive. On that performance he could be a Guineas horse,” said champion jockey Richard Hughes. The John Gosden-trained Thomas Hobson (9-2) could well return to the course in two weeks’ time for the November Handicap after winning the Download The Racing Post Mobile App Handicap. Ralph Beckett would like owner Kirsten Rausing to allow Cubanita to run for another season after she again proved her ability to pop up late in the year in the Worthington’s Champion Shield & Victoria Club (St Simon)
Stakes at Newbury. The 9-2 chance was covered up by Jim Crowley but was carried towards the stand rail, where she got the better of a determined Nichols Canyon by a length and three-quarters. Beckett said: “Sadly she has run out of races, but hopefully Miss Rausing will keep her in training. We’ll have to talk about it.” The Worthington’s Whizz Kids (Horris Hill) Stakes saw the unbeaten Piping Rock (3-1) ended the equally spotless record of Andre Fabre’s French visitor Galiway. Steve Gollings could consider a trip to the Paddy Power Gold Cup for Conquisto after his career-defining victory in the Betfred Monet’s Garden Old Roan Chase at Aintree on Saturday.
No consolation in defeat for Tomkins as Australia fight back RUGBY LEAGUE BY IAN LAYBOURN Sam Tomkins refused to take any satisfaction from an encouraging England display in their 28-20 defeat by tournament favourites Australia in Saturday’s World Cup opener. Humiliated by minnows Italy and dogged by off-field disciplinary issues, Steve McNamara’s men defied all expectations by pushing the Kangaroos all the way in an action-packed start to the 14th Rugby League World Cup. England made a dream start,
catching the Aussies cold by storming into a 10-0 lead thanks to tries from Ryan Hall and Leroy Cudjoe, as they threatened to re-produce their stunning win in the opening match of the 1995 World Cup. It was too good to last but, even after the visitors struck back with four tries in a devastating 18-minute spell, McNamara’s men stayed in the contest to play a full part in a rousing tournament opening. England should still reach the quarter-finals, but the defeat means holders New Zealand will almost certainly stand in their way of earning a
Sam Tomkins applauds the fans
re-match with Australia in the final at Old Trafford. It was a performance to instil belief that England could yet overcome the Kangaroos in the competition but Tomkins, who was a double winner with Wigan this year, was not consoled by the manner of defeat. “It’s disappointing,” he said. “We’ve a lot to improve on, that’s the main thing to come out of it. “You can’t be happy with a loss, can you? You’ve got to be disappointed with a loss. “We probably gave them a bit too much ball. They’re a quality side, probably the best in
the world, and they’re going to punish you.” Tomkins was at the heart of a promising display and, had he scored on the stroke of halftime, England might have been celebrating a famous victory. But he was brought back for a forward pass and the lethal Kangaroos scored straight from the resulting scrum through Tomkins’ opposite number Billy Slater. They had already edged in front thanks to quick-fire tries from Johnathan Thurston and Greg Bird, while Brett Morris touched down for his 13th try in as many Tests.
Frank Tickner made a gallant but ultimately unsuccessful bid to regain his title at the opening event of the British Cross Challenge in Bristol. A later summer wedding and honeymoon meant that the Wells City Harrier arrived at Ashton Court short of tip-top shape and he could not handle the early pace set by defending champion Dewi Griffiths. “That first lap a was a shocker for me as I was so far back but, after that, I gradually worked my way through, but there is a lot of work to be done,” said Tickner, who eventually claimed fifth spot. Welshman Griffiths ran away from the field on the final lap for a superb victory from Adam Hick and Jonny Hay in a top-class domestic field. In the women’s race, Katie Brough was rewarded for making the long trip south from her home in the North East with an impressive win. “I had a stomach injury two months ago, so I’m still playing catch up, but I felt really strong today,” said Brough. Top West woman was Bristol & West AC’s Kate Goodhead in ninth place just ahead of clubmate Anna Burton. In the young athletes’ race, there were podium finishes from Team Bath’s Will Stockey and Swindon Harriers’ Will Crisp, who finished second and third respectively in the under15 boys’ age group plus a bronze for North Somerset’s Ellie Wallace in the under-15 girls’ race. ■ It was another Kenyan double at the sharp end of the Stroud half marathon with wins for Peter Emase (65:24) and Purity Kangogo Kimetto (74:17), who was easily top woman and 12th overall of the 1,262 finishers Top West man was Cheltenham & County Harriers’ John Parker in sixth overall and first veteran over-40 and there was further success for the Cheltenham club with Martin Ford placing a superb 54th overall and top veteran over70. Gloucester’s Dave Spackman won the over-60s prize. Two-time Olympian Dan Robinson marked his comeback with a creditable 71:06 for eighth place and declared himself delighted.
49ers stroll to Wembley win AMERICAN FOOTBALL The San Francisco 49ers condemned the Jacksonville Jaguars to their eighth successive defeat at Wembley in the latest NFL International Series game. The 49ers scored six touchdowns in a 42-10 victory, their fifth in a row. The Jaguars are scheduled to play four games in London between 2013 and 2016, but a one-sided defeat will have won them few new fans in their second home.

The Irish jump jockey has been sidelined since the end of April due to a shoulder injury which required surgery in July. He is riding out again and his sister Nina, who is assistant to trainer Noel Meade for whom he is stable jockey, said he was not rushing his return.

Vettel’s pride at answering the boo-boys BY JAMIE STRICKLAND in Greater Noida Sebastian Vettel has revealed his hurt at being repeatedly booed by race fans this season but was delighted to give the “right answer on the track” by clinching his fourth world title with victory in yesterday’s Indian Grand Prix. Vettel has faced hostile podium receptions in Canada, Italy and Singapore this season, a trend that is presumed to be the legacy of his controversial decision to defy team orders and pass Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber for the win at the Malaysian Grand Prix in March. Happily for the German there were no such ugly scenes at the Buddh International Circuit after he produced a consummate drive to win at the track for the third year in a row. It was also Vettel’s sixth win in succession this season, and tenth overall, but more pertinently it was a result that saw him become the youngest fourtime world champion, joining Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher and Juan Manuel Fangio as the only men to reach that milestone. “It was for sure not an easy season, even though people from the outside got the idea that we had it in our hands for quite a while,” said Vettel. “I think it was a difficult one, all in all – very difficult for me, personally. “To receive boos even though you haven’t done anything wrong, but to overcome that and to give the right answer on the track and finally get that acceptance I think we’re all looking for as racing drivers, it makes me very proud.” At the age of just 26, Vettel is six years younger than Schumacher was when he became a four-time champion in 2001, and will fancy his chances of eclipsing his compatriot’s outright record of seven world
Gonzalo claims title despite his messy finish GOLF Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano won his seventh European Tour title with victory in the BMW Masters in Shanghai, despite a messy finish to his final round. Fernandez-Castano was three shots clear of the field with one hole to play, but ran up a double-bogey six on the 18th to mar an otherwise brilliant performance. The Spaniard began the day one shot behind joint leaders Luke Guthrie and Rafael Cabrera-Bello but carded a closing 68 to finish 11 under par at Lake Malaren, one shot ahead of Seve Trophy team-mate Francesco Molinari and Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee. Molinari was six shots off the pace at the start of the day and despite a front nine of 34, his chances looked to have gone with a bogey on the 12th. However, the Ryder Cup star then went on a brilliant scoring run, making an eagle on the par-five 13th and following
titles in the years to come. Vettel added: “To win four titles, it’s just a big number, you know? “To join people like that – Michael, Fangio, Prost – is very difficult to put into perspective. I’m way too young to understand what it means.” Vettel’s win also wrapped up the constructors’ title for Red Bull and team principal Christian Horner led the praise for Vettel’s achievement over the team radio, telling his charge:

“You’ve done it in style. You join the greats – well done.” Vettel took the chequered flag 30 seconds clear of the chasing pack, moving him into an unassailable 115-point lead with three races to spare. Webber had been on target to make it a Red Bull one-two but an alternator problem forced him to retire at two-thirds distance, paving the way for Mer-

Vettel had a 90-point lead over Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso coming into this weekend but the Spaniard’s slim hopes were ended by first-lap collisions with Webber and Jenson Button that saw him finish 11th. There was a sting in the tail
on Vettel’s big day, however, when he was summoned before the stewards to explain his actions after the race. Vettel turned doughnuts on the pit straight before dropping to his knees in mockprayer to the all-conquering Red Bull RB9 that has seldom failed him all year – the FIA took a dim view and hit Vettel with a reprimand and Red Bull
a £21,300 fine. Elsewhere, Ferrari’s Felipe Massa took fourth in the race ahead of McLaren’s Sergio Perez and Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes, with Lotus’ Kimi Raikkonen seventh. Force India’s Paul Di Resta ended his long points drought with eighth while Frome-born McLaren driver Button came home a lap down in 14th.

Reigning champion Jorge Lorenzo ensured the 2013 MotoGP title battle will go down to next month’s final race of the season in Valencia by claiming victory at the AirAsia Grand Prix of Japan, Lorenzo headed into the race in Motegi 18 points behind Repsol Honda’s brilliant rookie Marc Marquez. With 15 laps to go, Lorenzo had Marquez and Dani Pedrosa (also Repsol Honda) on his tail, but the two-time world champion managed to pull away in the closing stages.
Having started on pole, Lorenzo dominated the GP at the Twin Ring Motegi to win by 3.188 seconds over Marquez, while Pedrosa claimed third, 4.592s behind the Yamaha rider. The win was Lorenzo’s seventh of the year and second in a row, after he also took out the Australian GP at Phillip Island last week, and moved the 26year-old Spaniard onto 305 points, while Marquez advanced to 318 with Pedrosa (280) in third overall. “Until we finish racing, we know the championship is not over,” said Lorenzo.

Somerset Rebels bid to make club history tonight when they contest the second leg of the Premier League Championship Final at the Oaktree Arena against the Edinburgh Monarchs. Somerset have never won a League Championship title and will need to overcome a two-point deficit if they are to win after a 45-43 defeat in the away leg last Friday. “We may only be two points behind, but those points still have to be won,” said Somerset team manager Garry May.
“Edinburgh will be going all out to defend that lead, so nothing can be taken for granted.” “So what we really need is for all the Rebels fans to get down to the Oaktree Arena and for one last time this year to get right behind the boys as they look to write another chapter in the history of the club.” tonight’s action is scheduled to begin at 7.30pm (turnstiles opening at 5.30pm), with the usual end-of-season firework display afterwards, but should the weather intervene then arrangements have been made to re-stage the match tomorrow night.
that with four birdies in succession to join FernandezCastano on ten under before completing a superb 64. Fernandez-Castano edged back into the lead with a birdie on the 13th and looked to have sealed a comfortable win with further birdies at the 15th and 17th, where he chipped in from just over the green. He made hard work of the last, though, finding sand off the tee and another bunker with his third shot before holding his nerve to complete his first victory since last year’s Italian Open.
