EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS CUP POOL 1 TOLOUSE 42-27 WASPS DEADLY DUPONT The home side crossed for their first try within three minutes with Huget intercepting a loose pass from Le Roux in the Wasps 22 to cross at the far left hand corner. Wasps then ground their way into the Toulouse half with Searle cutting the home side's lead to two points with a successful penalty attempt. Thomas Young sparked his side into life with a 30-metre break down the touchline before being brought down. The ball was eventually recycled with Le Roux and Young showing some terrific handling to put Bassett over for their first try and a 10-5 lead. Toulouse hit straight back with the softest of offloads from Sofiane Guitoune releasing Tekori who sidestepped Le Roux to score. he hosts continued to lay siege to the Wasps line as they looked to power their way over, the ball eventually recycled to Jerome Kaino who put Ntamack over with a nice pass that pushed Toulouse 19-10 ahead. However, Wasps ...

First round Babnard 3-2 De Sousa MY OPINION Banard lead De Sousa 2-0 for De Sousa to bring the game back to 2-2 before Bwnard won of the final leg as it went to 2-2 in legs and I think that De Sousa should have at least gained a set as he was losing them 3-2 and it seemed to be a little bit unfair Tavern 3-2 Raymond smith MY OPINION This game went in the same way Tavern was 2-0 up and seemed to be cruising to a win until Raymod Smith came back and win the next 2 sets and Tavern broke in the fifth to win it. I am not that confident Tavern will be able to go much further as I don’t think he has the bottle . Kevin Burnes 3-0 Paul Nickolon MY OPINION This was an amazing first round shock between number 96 Kevin Burness from MI and Paul Nickelson from Australia. It wasn’t so much that he won but how easy it was and the Fact that he could hit his doubles at will. Nickolson we have seen play a lot better than this. You do wonder if he can put in a performance like this...

First Round - Best of five sets (no tie-break) / Second Round - Best of five sets Jeffrey de Zwaan 3-0 Nitin Kumar (R1) MY OPINION This was a very comfortable match for De Zwaan and would have not dropped a set if there were more Martin Schindler 2-3 Cody Harris (R1) MY OPINION This was a battle and Harris was lucky to get out with the win Jan Dekker 3-1 Lisa Ashton (R1) MY OPINION Ashton should have put up more of a fight in this match and I feel that she could have been first lady to win a match at the PDC Rob Cross 3-1 Jeffrey de Zwaan (R2) MY OPINION Rob Cross had to battle but showed that he could fight in this first round match

UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE GROUP B LEIPSIG 1-1 ROSENBERG REGINUSSEN GIVE ROSENBERG SURPRISE POINT Matheus Cunha right footed shot from the right side of the box to the high centre of the goal. Assisted by Bruma following a corner. Tore Reginiussen header from very close range to the high centre of the goal. Assisted by Birger Meling. https://www.skysports.com/football/rb-leipzig-vs-rosenborg/402058 MY OPINION This was not expected as a result and Rosenberg have shown in this math that the potential is there to make a team ready for next season. As for Leipsig they must have expected the win right up to the last minute when they conceded the goal and they might have to work on defending. CELTIC 1-2 RED BULL SALTSBERG ONGUENE ON IT The breakthrough! And that is simplicity itself. Lainer’s cross is excellent, Dabbur is between two defenders and his header flies into the net off Gordon’s knee! Gordon collects a long ball out of defence from Onguéné and tries to im...
