It was another disappointing day for Radcliffe Olympic, as they crashed to a 4-3 defeat at Clipstone Welfare. The home team built up a 4-1 lead but the visitors pulled two goals back in the last five minutes but it was to late for Radciffe to stop their run of poor results. Jamie Hardwick, Jordan Hood and two from Craig Buchanan the Clipstone marksmen. Ben Richardson and a brace by Carl Westcarr replied for Radcliffe. Newark Town moved up to fifth place at the expense of Radcliffe, the Nottinghamshire club where indebted to a goal in the 88th minute scored by Ian Wade. A 27th minute goal converted by Jake Keetley gave Kimberley Town a shock 1-0 win over the Buckingham Insurance Supreme Division leaders Harworth Colliery Institute. The Stags win may well have wrecked the North Nottinghamshire clubs chances of winning the title. Harworth remain the leaders because second placed Calverton Miners Welfare's home fixture with Hatfield Main was postponed. Third placed Forest Town where without a game and fourth placed Ollerton Town's match at Blidworth Welfare was abandoned after 20 minutes, due to a serious injury to an Ollerton player. Sutton Town AFC are in seventh place, but they are still in with a good chance of having a big say in the title race, they gained a vital three points at Southwell City, goals by Dale Crowder (2) and Steve Bayliss gave the visitors a 3-2 victory. Dominic Williams and Daniel Prance scored the Southwell goals. A vital win for Nettleham, the Lincolnshire club needed a win at

Rolls Royce Leisure and they did not disappoint their followers, winning 4-0. Jordan Mackinder, Javin Pillay, Steve Mason and Lee Beesley scored the Nettleham goals. A shock result also in the Black Dragon Premier Division and again it concerned the leaders, Westella & Willerby being held at home by second from bottom club, Welbeck Welfare, the match ending in a goalless draw. What a result this was for second placed Louth Town, the Lincolnshire club edged nearer Westella, gaining a 3-2 win, at home, against Phoenix Sports and Social. The home team led 3-1 at half time but it was backs to the wall in the second half, not helped by having a player sent off, but despite having most of the game the visitors could only pull one goal back. Kirk Cossley (2) and Paul Watts the Louth sharp shooters. Liam O'Brien (Penalty) and Rob Harris on target for Phoenix. Louth are now only six points behind the leaders and have five games in hand. Third placed Parramore Sports visited the bottom club, Bulwell Town, 1-0 up at the interval, the Yorkshire club went on to win 3-0. Jordan Turner, Paul Billard and Paul Clemence scoring the goals. Kirkby Town maintained their outside chances of a promotion place, winning 2-1 at Hutton Cranswick United. John Upton got the winner for the visitors in the 81st minute, prior to this, Jamie Hudson had put Kirkby in front right after half time, only for Hutton's Mike Tate to score in quick equalizer a minute later.

EAST MIDLANDS SPORTS DIRECT

Notts County made it four points from a possible six in their away double-header at Bournemouth and Lincoln with a 1-1 draw at Sincil Bank this afternoon. After dominating the majority of the first half County had to wait until the sixty-fourth minute to take the lead thanks to Delroy Facey's calm finish after taking advantage of a defensive blunder by the home side. However the lead barely lasted a minute when sub Sam Mullarkey crashed home a superb long-range drive for the Imps and County had to settle for a draw. County were unchanged from the side that defeated Bournemouth a week ago. Ex-Imp Jamie Forrester retained his place up front after returning to the team at the Fitness First Stadium. Jamie Clapham meanwhile passed a fitness test on his calf to start at his hometown club. In windy conditions in Lincolnshire City got the game underway and won an early free-kick which came to nothing as Kovacs wildly blasted over and fine block from Clapham denied N'Guessan on four minutes at the expense of a corner which Pilkington claimed well. County's first effort came on twelve minutes when Phil Picken let fly with a left-foot shot from twenty-five yards that whistled just wide after a good spell of Notts pressure. By the midway point of the half the rain was pouring down at Sincil Bank and along with the wind the conditions were hardly ideal for either side. A typically mazy run and cross by Weston on twenty-four picked out a stretching Hamshaw at the far post and he directed his effort over the bar. Weston blasted wide on twenty-eight minutes on the volley after the Imps had failed to clear their lines. A fine break following a Lincoln corner on thirty-three almost resulted in County taking the lead but after good work by Forrester to hold the ball up and lay the ball into Hamshaw's path the winger dragged his shot wide. A heroic block by Beevers denied Thompson his first County goal another mesmerising run by Weston. The young winger's cross caused complete panic in the Imps

box and it was only by some fortunate that the ball stayed out of the goal. Thompson looked odds on to score but Beevers threw his body in the way inside the six-yard box. The pressure continued and a scissor-kick from Forrester was superbly tipped over by Burch. County were in the driving seat and Weston was the Imps' tormentor but by the break they hadn't turned their pressure into goals. At the break County made a change in attack with Forte replacing Hamshaw and operating on the right-hand side of midfield. Neither side could stamp their full authority on the game in the opening stages of the second half. It took until the hour for the first effort to be registered and Pilkington was quick off his line to get a hand to Wright's shot and turn the ball into the side netting. Another electric break by Weston saw his cross pick out Forrester on sixty-two minutes but Burch quickly rushed off his line and threw his body in the way of the striker's effort at goal. On sixty-four though County did break the deadlock through Delroy Facey who took his goals tally to nine for the season with a well-taken finish. A mix-up between goalkeeper Burch and an Imps defender allowed Facey to nip in and reach the ball first and despite the odds being against him with a tight angle the striker rolled the ball into the net to send the away fans wild. But, the lead barely lasted a minute. Lincoln kicked off and sub Sam Mullarkey was given far too much time and space to shoot from twenty-five yards and his effort flew into the top corner with Pilkington given no chance at all of keeping the ball out. After those explosive two minutes the game settled down again. Picken had a shot routinely saved by Burch after he made a burst forwards from right-back and County were continuing to look lively going forwards. A superb turn and shot by Facey almost burst the back of the net ten minutes from time but the striker was just off target after Weston did well to pick him out in the area. Ben Fairclough was introduced into the action six minutes from time in place of Jamie Forrester who left the field to a warm round of applause from the City faithful. Weston tested Burch with just ten seconds of normal time remaining but his shot was straight at the goalkeeper. After two successive games on the road Notts return to action at Meadow Lane next Saturday against Chester City.

County & Mansfield

Mansfield earned a battling and entertaining draw against high-flying Torquay at Field Mill today. The Stags will be disappointed not to come away with the win after dominating the first half, but Torquay then took the ascendency in the second period and deserved their equaliser. Despite windy conditions which troubled both teams throughout, the game was full of chances and open attacking play. Rob Duffy gave Mansfield the lead in the 36th minute, but his close-range tap-in was cancelled out by Blair Sturrock's debut goal midway through the second half. Ryan Williams and Louis

Briscoe were the main sources of creativity for Mansfield, and both could have capped off their fine displays with a second half goal, but both were denied. Briscoe's drilled shot into a crowded six-yard-box fell kindy for Scott Bevan in the Torquay goal, while Williams put a cute lob just over after being put through by substitute Daryl Clare's neat touch. At the other end, despite finally having his impressive home goalless streak finally broken, Alan Marriott made several fine saves, including one from Tim Sills that would have powered into the top corner and given Torquay the lead. Both created plenty of opportunities infront of goal, but the Stags will be rueing Nathan Arnold's two miscued headers in the first half, while Roscoe Dsane twice should have done better for the visitors in the second half. He failed to seriously trouble Marriott, and was substituted soon after. Mansfield made two changes to the starting line-up that lost an injury time heart-breaker at Grays Athletic last weekend. Neil MacKenzie stepped into midfield for the unavailable Curtis Woodhouse. Continued on next page

With the leaders of the Abacus Lighting Reserves Supreme Division, Carlton Town Reserves without a match, a win at Holbrook Miners Welfare Reserves would have took Heanor Town Reserves to within a point of Carlton, but they blew it! Despite the 'raw' weather both teams produced in interesting and exciting tussle, the young 'Lions' twice led 1-0 and 2-1 but threw away the lead, with a catastrophic defending in the last three minutes of the first half, to go in 3-2 down. The second half saw numerous chances spurned at both ends but there where no further goals, a

Continued from previous pageThe Stags uncompromising midfield battler will be boxing in Sheffield tonight, where several of his Mansfield teammates will be supporting him. Louis Briscoe earned a rare start, as he partnered Rob Duffy upfront, and replacing Mark Stallard who drops to the bench. New signing Oliver Hotchkiss was named on the bench alongside striker Daryl Clare, who scored on his debut at Grays. Mansfield dominated the early stages, aided by the strong wind, and it was MacKenzie who had the first effort at goal for Mansfield, but his fifth minute half-volley flew well wide. The midfielder had another shot over on the quarter-hour mark, before Nathan Arnold wasted the first of his unmarked headers from a Ryan Williams cross. Torquay's first effort on goal came on the half-hour as Marriott was forced into an acrobatic save, finger-tipping Wayne Carlisle's excellent curling lob onto the crossbar. Mansfield's response was swift, as they Arnold missed another header, and then Williams took it upon himself, but his low shot was flashed just wide. Moments later the Stags took the lead through Rob Duffy. Bevan could only palm MacKenzie's low curling shot from the edge of the area into Briscoe's path, and he neatly centred it to Duffy who had time and space to shoot into an empty net. The second half started scrappily, however Torquay now had the wind assistance, and they made first use of it, pressing Mansfield hard. Sturrock was proving a handful on his debut for the Torquay, and having seen a curling shot drift just wide, he got the goal his display deserved. The striker latched on to a hopeful long ball that evaded the Stags defence and coolly lobbed over the onrushing Marriott. Both sides had chances to win it in the remaining 20 minutes, but neither could take them, and the draw was a fair result.

CENTRAL MIDLANDS LEAGUEContinued from the front pagePresented with the 'Team of the Month' award prior to their match at Kiveton Park, Parkhouse suffered the 'curse' by going down to a 3-2 defeat. With the score locked at 2-2, Matthew Thompson notched the winner for the home team. Rob Gorman and Andrew Wellwood scored the other Kiveton goals. Ashley Barber and a Chris Sharman penalty the visitors goal scorers. With Bentley Colliery calling off their match at Newark Flowserve, Thorne Colliery gave them a real chance of overhauling their local rivals, by taking three valuable points, with a 3-2 home win over Thoresby Colliery Welfare.

PRESENTS FOR MUM!Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers and prospered. Some years later, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussed the gifts that they were able to give to their elderly mother who lived far away in another city. The first said, "I had a big house built for Mama."The second said, "I had a hundred thousand dollar theatre built in the house."The third said, "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver her an SL600."The fourth said, "Listen to this. You know how Mama loved reading the Bible and you know she can't read it any more because she can't see very well. I met this priest who told me about a parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took twenty priests 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years to the church, but it was worth it. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse andthe parrot will recite it." The other brothers were impressed.After the holidays Mom sent out her Thank You notes.She wrote: "Bob, the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway.""Bill, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks.""Michael, you give me an expensive theatre with Dolby sound, it could hold 50 people, but all my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing and I'm nearly blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same..""Dearest Bob, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you.”

Hat-trick hero Jamie Mason helped steer Kirby Muxloe to a 4-2 win at home to Heanor Town, keeping them at the top of the table in the process. Stuart Verrall added the other with Heanor's goals coming from Paddy Sneath and Graham Wells. Borrowash Victoria remain a point off the lead following their 2-1 victory over St Andrews. The visitors struck first through Kyle Robinson before Jamie Pawley and Anthony Mothershead fired Borrowash to the points. Barrow Town climbed into the top three after their 2-0 win at Ibstock United, Scott McLennon and Robbie Banks scoring, the latter from the spot. Top five rivals Dunkirk and Gedling Town shared the points in a 0-0 draw while Radford drew 1-1 at Ellistown. Brett Adul netted a hat-trick, including two penalties, as Graham St Prims romped to a 5-1 win at Gedling MW while Holbrook MW recorded a 1-0 win at Holwell Sports. Blackwell MW remain rooted to the foot of the table after their 2-1 defeat at Hinckley Downes, Brett Adams grabbing the winner in the second half. But Bardon Hill Sports climbed out of the relegation places thanks to their 4-3 defeat of Greenwood Meadows, Steve Moult scoring the winner as his side clawed its way back after trailing 3-1 at the break.

Eastwood Town 1Kendal 1Paul Cox surprised most people by ringing the changes reverting back to the defensive formation that was so solid before Christmas and bringing back Matt Rhead for his first start January 20th in place of Marc Smith. Ian Deakin replaced Shane Redmond in goal as the Irishman is away on international duty. As with the last two games the wind was a prominent feature making football very difficult for both teams. David Foster was the first to threaten, jinxing his way past Matt Rhead following a short corner but he

put his cross straight into Deakin's arms. David Newnes in the Kendal goal had to be alert to stop Richard Dunning bursting through to get onto Lindon Meikle's pass. The relief for Kendal was short lived though as Andy Todd put the Badgers ahead in the fifth minute with a brilliantly taken goal. Under pressure from Matt Rhead Kendal captain Tony Hallam could only head straight to Ian Holmes. His cross field pass was taken down by Todd who pushed it past the fullback and fired across Newnes and into the corner of the net. Five minutes later Todd almost repeated the feat, fizzing the ball past the upright after a patient build-up and at the other end Danny Foster should have done better heading Danny Wisdom's corner wide. Kendal, after a shaky start, were starting to knock the ball around well. Danny Wisdom did well down the left before delivering a good cross that Martin Young cushioned down into Michael Cole path but the young midfielders shot lacked any power. Kieran Walmsley's free kick lead to Russell Cooke conceding a corner and Ian Deakin producing a good catch under pressure. A quick free kick found Ian Holmes on the edge of the area but he snatched at the shot giving Newnes a simple save at the near post. Callum Warburton did well to stop Meikle after Holmes and Rhead had combined well to release him. With the pitch rock hard despite the rain in recent days, a bad bounce almost released Holmes but Dan Wordsworth cleared only as far as the edge of the box where Richard Dunning fired over. Rhead headed on a long goal kick and two Kendal defenders got in each others way allowing Holmes to run clear however the referee brought play back for offside. Rhead chested Dunning's free kick down, before shooting over the bar and Matt Young shot wide of the post after Paul Robinson had conceded a corner. Matt Young never got hold of a shot which rolled through to Deakin and David Foster was offside as Kendal finished the half strongly. Newnes was soon in action, saving well from Rhead's header from a Dunning cross. Rhead was the fulcrum of the Eastwood attacks and he was doing well as the target man bringing the players around him into the game. He almost celebrated his recall with a goal by chipping the advanced Newnes from Holmes flick but just clearing the crossbar. Substitute Craig Hobson gave notice of arrival receiving the ball just outside the box but his shot posed Deakin no problem however he went one better a few minutes later heading home Michael Cole's delightful right wing cross on 53 minutes. In a largely entertaining second half, Andy Todd shot wide after being teed up by Holmes and Hobson tested Deakin with Warburton putting the ball wide from the rebound. Deakin's long kick was chested into the path of Holmes by Rhead but he chipped over with the keeper

stranded. Holmes cross went begging after being played in by Cooke, and Danny Holland cleverly lifted the ball over the defender but Newnes beat him to the loose ball. Smith was fouled just outside the area Newnes doing very well to tip Dunning's free kick over for a corner. The flag saved Kendal when Holmes crossed for Holland as the Badgers threw caution to the wind. Todd played a superb ball in to Holland who flicked it on to Holmes but Newnes saved, and Holmes sprinted clear of Hallam but put his shot across Newnes but wide of the post. Wordsworth headed wide after Hobson had headed Wisdom's free kick into the box. The ball went straight down the other end and Holmes headed Flynn's cross behind under pressure. Kendal were certainly playing their part in the match. A Walmsley free kick was easily saved by Deakin but he had a second chance when Wisdom chased a lost cause. Catching it on the touchline he crossed for Walmsley who bicycle- kicked over the bar. In a frantic finale there were nearly goals at both ends within a matter of seconds. First Cole hit a good shot that Deakin did very well to hold. Planting the ball deep into the Kendal half, Danny Holland stepped inside his man and blasted a shot on goal which Newnes parried and only a last ditch tackle prevented Holmes from scoring the winner. Despite dropping two points, there wasn't the same air of despondency that

Arnold Town 3Hall Road Rangers 1

Ten man Arnold marked their 1,000 game with a victory against the odds. The home side had taken a 12th minute lead as Simms saw his shot blocked only for the ball to fall to Brewster just outside the area – his drive from the corner of the area flew into the top corner to give Burley no chance. The Eagles should have increased their advantage three minutes later with Freestone shooting wide when clean through. Broster then dived full length to save from Ingram and just before the break Walton had a 'goal ' ruled out for off side. Arnold had further opportunities to increase their lead with Freestone lobbing over the bar and Simms having a shot deflected wide. The visitors were level on 53 minutes as Gilbey and Ingram combined well to put Jackman through who coolly slotted home. Neilson was then fortunate to only receive a caution for a foul on Brewster. Arnold went in search of a winner in the gusty conditions with Clarke heading against the cross bar. The turning point in the game came after 73 minutes Hall was harshly given his marching orders for a foul on Gibson. Arnold refused to let their numerical disadvantage count against them as they went in search of a winner. Just two minutes after the dismissal they got their reward with a superb goal. Freestone's cross field ball found the impressive Simms on the right – the striker took a touch and bent a beautifully placed effort low in to the far corner. Arnold further increased their lead three minutes from time as Simms fed Clifford who crossed to the far post where substitute Carruthers planted a bullet header into the roof of the net.

Kinsley Boys 0Newark Town 1For the second time in a fortnight, Town travelled to Yorkshire and grabbed a late winner as they snatched all

three points from Kinsley Boys. The Blues were forced into one change from their victory over Calverton, with Ben Barnard replacing the suspended Steve Carty. Town started the match brightly, Chris Self creating an opportunity on 3 minutes, when he beat two defenders, before shooting wide of the right hand post. Two minutes later, Sam Wilford made a promising run, but his dangerous looking cross was turned behind by a defender. The hosts settled after this nervy start, and created a couple of chances themselves, most notably a header straight at Chris Riley by Stapleton. Kinsley then began to dominate possession, with the strong wind at their backs. For a ten minute period Newark struggled to get out of their own half, although the home side rarely tested Chris Riley. Town eventually settled to the conditions, and came more into the game as the half went on. Firstly, on 28 minutes, Mark Ellison's free kick from 25 yards beat the wall but not Walstow, who saved comfortably. Three minutes later, a long throw from Mark Blant found Chris Self, who saw his mistimed shot get caught in the wind, only for it to land on the roof of the net. On 32 minutes, Town felt they should have been awarded a penalty, when it appeared Self had been felled in the penalty area by the keeper, as the striker attempted to take the ball around him. The referee thought otherwise and signalled play on. The half continued in a disjointed manner; with a half chance for Darren Baldwin the only other sign of a goal. The sides went in level at the break, the opening 45 minutes having done little to warm the shivering spectators. The introduction of Craig Roche, and in particular Louis Cree at half time, helped lift Newark's game, and added an extra spark into the performance. Cree's influence was almost instant, after being played in by Wade, he beat a defender and rounded the keeper, but in the end the angle was just too much and he shot inches past the far post on 49 minutes. Town continued to dominate the second half, and had another opportunity on 58 minutes when Cree beat two defenders with a good turn, and in the end Walstow could only parry the ball away, Sam Wilford being unfortunate not to get the rebound. Kinsley gave Newark a warning on 74 minutes though, when a forceful run by Saunders saw him beat the defence, and test Riley, who reacted well to save low to his left. The keeper's quick clearance found Sam Wilford, who attempted to lob the ball over the keeper, but Walshaw managed to get his fingertips on it, before finally conceding the corner. On 85 minutes, Riley failed to deal with a corner, and the ball found its way to Jones, who poked the ball just wide of the post. However, it was Town who snatched all three points, two minutes from time, when a cross by Chris Self was deflected into the path of Ian Wade, who flicked the ball in off the post. The goal was deserved, as Town had had the better of the second half. They played out the remaining moments of the match with little trouble to secure the victory. The victory lifts Town to 5th place.

Southwell City 2Sutton Town 3Southwell City were unfortunate not to get at least one if not all three points in a match affected by the strong wind and blustery conditions at the Memorial Ground. Kicking with the wind Sutton used the elements to their advantage as long balls deep into the City half meant that was little respite for the City defence. In contrast City, against the strong wind, resorted to a much shorter passing game. City boss Mark Nangle was forced to make an early substitution when the injured James Jepson was replaced by Alex Turpin. Despite the early

pressure from the visitors City opened up the scoring on 19 minutes when Ben Porter received the ball wide on the left and crossed to Chris Atkins in the six yard box who firmly sent the ball across the goal where 17 year old Dominic Williams was on hand to supply the simple tap in. Sutton continued the pressure and long ball tactics and were rewarded with a succession of corners and on 24 minutes from one of these corners Steve Bayliss found himself un-marked on the far post to head home the Sutton equaliser. Eight minutes later following a fantastic run on the right flank by Martin Newman, Sutton were awarded another corner which resulted in Sutton's Dave Crowder shooting from just inside the penalty area but City's young defender Jack Hudson made a vital interception to save a certain goal for Crowder. The pressure on the City goal was unrelenting and on 35 minutes Steve Bayliss came close to his second goal but his close range shot went high over the City cross bar. Sutton finally breached the City defence on 39 minutes when they deservedly scored their second goal, once again a poorly defended Sutton corner found Dave Crowder un-marked and his firm header gave City's Darren Sharpe no chance. A 2-1 score line was probably a fair reflection of the first half but 3 minutes into added time Anthony Rowley crossed the ball across the City goal and under no pressure Darren Sharpe seemed to make a simple save but the ball somehow managed to squirm underneath Sharpe into the path of Crowder who scored with the easiest chance he will experience.Throughout the second half City were now able to exploit the elements and despite an early scare on 47 minutes when City keeper Darren Sharpe made a superb point blank save from Anthony Rowley, Sutton rarely looked like adding to their score. City launched attack after attack and on 57 minutes Ben Porter broke through the Sutton defence only to be denied by a good save at his feet by Mark Foster in the Sutton goal. Foster was kept busy for the rest of the afternoon as all the City strikers came close but Foster was in great form and managed to protect his goal until the 80th minute when Daniel Harding unleashed a firm shot from outside the box and with Foster beaten the ball hit the upright as once again City were denied their just deserts. With four minutes remaining Ben Porter once a gain came close as Foster turned the ball around the post for a corner. Porter sent in a perfect centre and defender Danny Prance's firm header found the back of the Sutton net. City pushed everyone forward in search of a well deserved equaliser but the Sutton defence were able to hold out until the final whistle which came as great relief.

Rotherham Titans 20Nottingham Rugby 6Errie Claassens provided the definitive moment of Rotherham's most accomplished home performance of the season as Nottingham were locked out at Clifton Lane, Rotherham. Claassens tore through the Nottingham cover with trademark skill and apparent ease to put the result beyond doubt after Jon Skurr's try had opened the account. Collecting the ball outside the 22 on the left wing Claassens performed two outrageous sidesteps before cruising home. Two conversions and two penalties from Mike Whitehead completed Rotherham's scoring whilst Nottingham registered just two first-half David Jackson penalties and suffered a serious blow to their hopes of achieving a top three finish. In a solid defensive performance, typified by Irish centre Kevin Maggs, the Titans maintained their intensity from start to finish, nullifying the threat of lively Nottingham backs Tim Molenaar and Jack Cobden. Ryan Burrows was forced out of the action in the second-half after suffering a suspected broken leg, ruling him out for the rest of the season.

Back in October Nottingham's Director of Rugby, Glenn Delaney, was announced as coach of the Barbarians and it has been confirmed he will have four familiar faces under his wing for the 82nd Mobbs Memorial game. Nottingham Rugby's Joe Duffey, Craig Hammond, Luke Sherriff and the previously uncapped, David Jackson, have been selected to play against Bedford Blues on the 7th of April at Goldington Road - kick off 7:30pm. Duffey, Hammond and Sherriff have all previously played for the world's most prestigious rugby team but it will be Jackson's first appearance for the legendary Barbarians. Jackson, Nottingham's top point scorer this season, will swap the Green and White for the famous Black and White hoops for the first time and he is, understandably, excited and honoured by the call up. The 26 year old full back said; "It was a complete surprise and a shock to get the call from the Barbarians but I couldn't accept the invitation quickly enough. They are the most famous rugby team in the world and I feel very honoured to have been selected for the Mobbs Memorial game. "The Ba Ba's are notorious for their

"League and cup rugby can be relentless week in week out and it will be great to play some adventurous rugby with guys that we will only have met the day before. "You look back at the great Barbarians' games and there are world class players from all over the globe out on the field expressing themselves and enjoying playing rugby with a free licence to entertain. "I am sure I will look back in years to come and remember this as one of the highlights of my career."

Nottingham Panthers 6Manchester Phoenix 3The GMB Nottingham Panthers take a 6-3 lead to Altrincham for the second leg of their play-off match up with the Manchester Phoenix on Sunday. Elsewhere Cardiff won in Belfast (1-2) and Newcastle drew in Coventry (2-2) while Sheffield on Friday beat Edinburgh (8-2). In Nottingham on

Saturday David Clarke got the home side off to a perfect start with the opening goal just before the two minute mark. Phoenix broke away short-handed though and equalised through a rebound but Johan Molin restored the lead and Brendan Cook robbed the Phoenix players and broke away to score short-handed for a 3-1 advantage. In the last minute though the Phoenix broke in through the middle channel and

reduced the deficit before the first break. Penalty trouble saw a string of powerplays to the opposition and they finally converted the man-advantage (at their eighth attempt) to level the scores at 3-3 which was the way of things going into the final period. A tip in by Brendan Cook and then two sharply taken goals by man of the match Dan Tessier saw a big third period for the GMB Panthers. Coach Neilson was pleased with the result afterwards and when asked by reporters if he would opt to sit back and protect the lead in the second leg in Altrincham he replied, giving little away : "We will have a gameplan for the job in hand!"

The GMB Panthers sponsors awards show saw a packed venue witness some of the club's top awards with Kevin Bergin named MVP. Bruce Richardson was also in the thick of things with several accolades. The players presented game worn shirts and warm-up shirts to their Gold and Silver sponsors, film-maker Sam Webster showed another side of his talents with his magic demonstrations and

the club unveiled the shirt designs for next season. Last week the two awards voted for by the fans had gone to Johan Molin (Fans' Player of the Year) and Bruce Richardson (Most Entertaining Player of the Year). At the Awards Show Part Two the presentations saw Bruce in the spotlight again, picking up the GMB Player of the Year, Most Consistent Player, and the Team Spirit award. The Best British Player award went to Matthew Myers, Players' Player of the Year went to Johan Molin and MVP to Kevin Bergin. Top goals and top points were both taken by Brendan Cook.

The Playoff shirts for the Cardiff Devils, Manchester Phoenix, Newcastle Vipers and Edinburgh Capitals will go live on the auction website from Monday March 30th with the closing date for bids being Monday April 6th. Two new items from the Finals Weekend to also appear on the on-line auction website will be the pucks from every goal scored in both the semi-finals and the final, signed by the scorer.

Let me introduce myself. Most people know me as 'H' and I am so pleased to be invited to join the Balls mania Team. I guess that my profession could and is called many things but Sports Therapist or Mind Coach is about right. I am a qualified NLP Specialist, performance coach and Clinical Hypnotherapist.

My training has been with some of the best in both England and the USA in their field. Dr.Richard Bandler (co-founder of NLP), Paul McKenna the English Hypnotist, Society of Applied Hypnosis director Major Mark Cunningham in Las Vegas, American legend Hypnotherapist Gil Boyne from Los Angeles, Dr John Butler (Medical Trainer with the NHS, Royal College) and Dr. John Edgette Sports Psychologist, Hypnotherapist and author of the bestselling book 'Winning the Mind Game' at Imperial College, London who has worked with the US Olympic Team. I have been a sportsman myself in a variety of sports (mainly football) and have coached and managed both at Olympic & local level to success. I work with

patience and persistence to get the benefits. (Remember some professionals spend many hours every day doing mind coaching and visual training to become better, that's why they are Elite sportsmen & women). Sports therapy & Mind Performance coaching is used in almost all sports, baseball, basketball, soccer, snooker, golf even Formula One, names such as David Beckham, Ronaldinho, Jimmy White, Bernhard Langer, Lewis Hamilton have specialist coaching.Even the PGA runs courses in Golf Psychology, NLP training, Sports Hypnosis, 'Train the Brain' even 'Chi ' power for golf. These courses cost hundreds of pounds but you will be getting some of the secrets of sporting success for a lot less!!So Let's get started.

Secret Number 1: Develop a sense of humour! (Emotional Management)This doesn't mean bursting into laughter during your mate's backswing on the first tee, but focusing on enjoying the challenge of a course or the competition! But learn how to smile (or at least not to lose your temper) at any mistakes you or your partner will make during your game! Anger sends powerful emotional chemicals around your body that can take up to 20 minutes to subside, well before your next shot. A laugh or smile changes your body chemistry in a positive way, negating any angry stuff quicker than trying to become calmer, which takes a lot longer.You will find that managing your attitude & emotions better; will improve your focus, concentration & determination on your next shot. Plus you will be pleasanter company to be with and to play against will also improve your popularity & gain respect from your club mates.So when things aren't going well, Smile, Refocus on your next shot because that's the most important one!

Accept your disappointments - Celebrate your Successes!!See you next time!
