The Hampshire Academy are Southern Electric Premier League, Division 2 champions after pulling off their version of the Great Escape – and sending gallant Trojans down – at Stoneham Lane.Requiring only two points to clinch the title, the Young Hawks were staring an unexpected defeat in the face when Jamie Donaldson (5-25) and Paul Douglas (3-28) sent them crashing to 8-5 and then 26-6.But a lower-order revival, initiated by Mitchell Stokes (26) and Ian Hilsum (24), and driven by a timely 44 not out by David Griffiths, lifted the Academy to a match-winning 132 all out.”Some of the shot selection early on was poor, but Trojans bowled pretty well,” reflected Academy skipper Tony Middleton.”It was a great fightback by the lads. The lowerorder batted patiently and used their brains.”Trojans, in a last-ditch bid to stave off relegation, got away to a flying start, but began to falter when Mario Mohammed was run-out, unwisely taking on Tony Middleton’s arm from the boundary.In between a brace by Lawrie Prittipaul (2-12), Trojans progressed to 48-1 through Simon Williams (21) and Donaldson (20) … only to lose four wickets for nine runs.The Academy spinners seized the initiative, with Ian Hilsum (4-21) removing the dangerous Donaldson before cutting through the tail to end Trojans gallant resistance at 112.The Academy’s 20-run win lifts the Young Hawks into the top tier of Premier League cricket next season – and sentences Trojans to a year in Division 3.

Reliable reporter Fabrizio Romano dropped a little under-the-radar update on Manchester City’s pursuit of Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish following England’s win over Germany on Tuesday evening.

And his post has a number of Aston Villa supporters talking on social media.

Grealish has been linked with a move to Manchester City for a number of months. The 25-year-old came off the bench and played a part in both goals at Wembley, setting up Harry Kane to seal a place in the quarter-finals.

Romano posted on Twitter following the win regarding a number of England players who have been linked with moves during the Euros.

One of those was Grealish, and Romano replied to a Villa fan after he shared a picture of a post from Villa reporter Ashley Preece, who suggested a new Villa Park deal for Grealish was ‘pending’.

The transfer expert claimed ‘nothing advanced and no official bid from City’, concluding it ‘won’t be easy for City with Aston Villa’.

Villa fans react

Romano, who has over three million Twitter followers, tends to get thousands of likes and interactions on his transfer posts. However, his reply to the Villa fan mentioned had a limited number of likes and interaction, seemingly flying under the radar with just 30 retweets.

Here’s what these Villa supporters had to say last night in response to Romano’s answer.

In other news: Villa interested in Man Utd defender, find out more here. 

A major update has emerged on Villa goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo, regarding interest from Bayern Munich and Celtic.

What’s the talk?

According to the Sunday People (20/6; page 56), Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and Celtic are all interested in signing Aston Villa goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo. The 19-year-old is heading into the final year of his contract and all three European giants are looking to potentially snap him up for a cut-price deal.

The report claims that Villa want to tie him down to an extended contract in an attempt to keep him at the club in the long term. Sinisalo’s intentions are not clear at this time and it remains to be seen if he wants to commit his future to Dean Smith’s side.

Back in Ocotber 2020, Ayr United boss Mark Kerr hailed the “athletic” shot-stopper for his ability to read the game and make important saves. He told Not The Old Firm:

“Viljami did well. I had contact with an agent who deals with goalkeepers down in England. He gave us a list of five. We thought Viljami looked athletic, he can get across the goal and he reads things.

“He made some great saves today, that’s what you need.”

Fans would be fuming

Villa fans would be fuming if the club allows Sinisalo to leave this summer to join Bayern, Celtic or Leipzig. Allowing a talented young player to depart on a cut-price deal, or free, because the club have failed to pin him down to a contract extension could be a bitter blow.

Losing a promising talent for any reason is frustrating, but to do so whilst potentially not even receiving a transfer blow would be even worse as Villa would not receive worthwhile compensation for their loss.

The teenager enjoyed an impressive season on loan at Ayr in Scotland. He kept nine clean sheets and conceded 39 goals in 29 appearances for the club, suggesting that he already has the quality to compete at that level despite only turning 19 last October.

Therefore, he could have the potential to be an important player for Villa in the future, which is why the club could be facing a disaster if they do not get him to commit himself to the club this summer as they could watch a prospect walk out of the door.

Emi Martinez turns 29 in September and the Argentine shot-stopper will be well into his 30’s by the time Sinisalo turns 24/25 and begins to prepare himself to be a long-term number one option at Premier League level.

This means that the Finnish goalkeeper could be the ideal successor to Martinez at Villa Park if he plays his cards right over the next few years. This is another reason why NSWE need to avoid making a mistake with Sinisalo in the coming months.

AND in other news, NSWE could strike gold with AVFC swoop for “amazing” £30m ace, Dean Smith needs him…

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Tottenham are to return for Belgium manager Roberto Martinez as their managerial search continues.

The Lowdown: Chaos reigns

Tottenham sacked Jose Mourinho as their boss two months ago, yet they are still without a permanent replacement.

It appeared Paulo Fonseca would be the man to take over after the breakdown with Antonio Conte, but Spurs broke off talks with him as well before moving on to Gennaro Gattuso (The Guardian).

After deciding not to move forward with the Italian next (via The Daily Mail), they are now back to the drawing board in what is fast becoming a quite remarkable saga.

The Latest: Back to Martinez

Spurs had been linked with a move for Martinez earlier in their search, but once the Euros started that speculation died down as he focuses on his task with Belgium.

Now, though, Daniel Levy is set to return for the former Everton manager as the chairman has had his palate tickled – a wonderful choice of words from the Italian outlet.

The Verdict: Solid record

At this point, Tottenham simply have to make a decision and fast – they can surely not afford to go too much longer without a boss at the helm as they prepare for the transfer window and new season, so it may become a case of taking the best they can get.

However, as last resorts go, Martinez would not be a bad one.

With Belgium, he has reached a World Cup semi-final and has averaged a huge 2.48 points per game (Transfermarkt). To put that into perspective, Mourinho managed 1.77 with Spurs.

At Everton, he led the Toffees to a fifth place finish in the Premier League, although there were questions raised in regards to his defensive set-up (via The Daily Post), and of course his crowning achievement was leading Wigan to FA Cup success over Manchester City.

Now, with more top-tier experience under his belt and an enhanced reputation having managed truly elite talent with Belgium, he could be a good appointment if he were to arrive in north London.

In other news, Tottenham are interested in this up-and-coming striker.

New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond is to play for Warwickshire in August

Lynn McConnell02-Jul-2002New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond is to play for Warwickshire in August.Bond, who secured another five-wicket bag today, his second of the two-Test series against the West Indies and the second of his brief Test career, is to replace South African Shaun Pollock while he takes part in an international tri-series for his country.After a four-month lay-off Bond was keen to maintain the momentum he has gained since returning for the West Indies tour to bridge the gap of non-activity New Zealand faces before it plays in the ICC Champions Trophy tournament in Sri Lanka in September.His contract involves him playing three four-day matches in the County Championship and one one-day match in the Norwich Union League.In his six Test matches since making his debut against Australia in November last year, Bond has taken 26 wickets at 25.19.New Zealand Cricket operations manager John Reid said: “New Zealand Cricket has agreed to allow Shane the opportunity to play some cricket for Warwickshire because we believe it will provide him with excellent preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka in September.”The TelstraClear Black Caps first match in the ICC Champions Trophy is against Australia in Colombo on September 15.”This is a knock-out tournament. We must win that first match if we are to progress so we want Shane to be in the best possible condition for that match,” said Reid. “After a four month injury lay-off he needs to maintain the momentum he has developed during the current tour of the West Indies.Bond’s manager, Geoff Allott, supported New Zealand Cricket’s decision: “As the West Indies series has progressed Shane has started to find his rhythm again and, in terms of his preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy, he will benefit far more from match-play for Warwickshire than he would back in New Zealand where his preparation would be restricted to indoor net bowling.”Bond will return to New Zealand after the West Indies tour and the New Zealand Cricket medical team will be conducting a thorough assessment of his physical fitness, before confirming his availability for Warwickshire.”Shane’s re-introduction to cricket after his foot injury has been well managed and we want to ensure this continues,” said Reid.Under his contract with Warwickshire, Bond will have a managed workload where he will be restricted to bowling a maximum of 20 overs per day.

O Cruzeiro já tem um sucessor de Thiago Scuro na cadeira de diretor de futebol. Com o cargo vazio desde o mês de dezembro, o presidente Gilvan de Pinho Tavares deu fim ao mistério e confirmou Klauss Câmara para a função.

O anúncio foi feito pelo presidente celeste neste domingo, antes do jogo-treino contra o Araxá, na Toca da Raposa. Klauss Câmara era diretor das categorias de base do Cruzeiro e agora dividirá o departamento junto com Tinga, outro recém contratado para ocupar a função de gerente de futebol.

– Ele já vinha exercendo essa função e agora de fato e de direito. Conversamos com ele e o oficializamos como novo diretor de futebol profissional do Cruzeiro. Ficou muito feliz e falou que era o sonho da vida dele. A partir de hoje, o Klauss já está exercendo definitivamente o cargo – disse Gilvan.

Nos últimos meses, Klauss ajudou o presidente Gilvan e o vice de futebol, Bruno Vicintin, a conduzir algumas negociações do Cruzeiro. Foi com a ajuda dele que o clube conseguiu fechar o acordo com o Palmeiras envolvendo Robinho, Fabrício, Fabiano e Willian. Além disso, Klauss viajou aos Emirados Árabes Unidos para convencer Thiago Neves a se transferir para Minas Gerais.

Aos 36 anos, Klauss está em sua terceira passagem pelo Cruzeiro. Ainda jovem, ele chegou ao clube para jogar nas categorias de base. Em 2010 e 2011, teve sua primeira experiência fora dos campos e começou a trabalhar como coordenador de captação. Após uma breve saída, retornou ao clube em 2014, já como diretor das divisões de base.

India bounced back after their dismal performance in Pune to win the third One-Day International played at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Indore, against Australia by a whopping margin of 118 runs. Australia were all out for 181 runs in 35.5 overs, chasing a tough victory target of 300 in 50 overs.The day clearly belonged to the world’s premier batsman, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. After being put into bat by Steve Waugh, India really wanted Tendulkar to fire on all guns. Waugh’s choice of bowling first was based on the fact that there was some moisture on the track. Tendulkar initially tamed the bowling by playing sensibly, curtailing his extravagant stroke play but once he got to his fifty, he cut loose.Tendulkar made 139 runs off 125 balls decorating his knock with 19 classy strokes past the ropes. This was Tendulkar’s 28th ODI hundred and in the end it proved to be a match winning one. Indore went into the record books today, Tendulkar becoming the first batsman in the history of ODI cricket to reach the milestone of 10,000 runs. In the course of the Indian innings, Glenn McGrath became the third Australian to reach 200 wickets, when he bowled Vijay Dahiya for nought.Chasing India’s imposing total of 299/8 in 50 overs, Australia was bound to struggle. On a pitch with uneven bounce and keeping low, fluent stroke play was not really on. The fact that Australia’s best ODI batsman Mark Waugh was out of the team with a fractured finger must have been a big let down for his twin brother Steve Waugh. Australia’s policy of rotation seems not to be working; today they rested their in-form batsman Matthew Hayden.Damien Martyn and Adam Gilchrist were the opening batsmen today and they put on 46 runs. Martyn (19) looked good, but was caught behind off Srinath. Gilchrist played a cracker of an innings of 63 (70 balls, 10 fours, 1 six) that included 22 runs from an over bowled by Zaheer Khan. It was an amazing display of power hitting, with the sequence reading as 4,0,6,4,4,4 as Australia rekindled hopes of a victory. Gilchrist was given a couple of reprieves by Ganguly and Dahiya soon after he got to his fifty. Gilchrist’s dismissal at 102 in the 20th over resulted in a tailspin and Australia never recovered from it.Gilchrist’s tame dismissal came about when he slapped a full toss from Harbhajan Singh straight to Ganguly at mid-wicket. Ajit Agarkar (3/38), Harbhajan Singh (3/37) and Srinath (2/34) were just about too much for the jaded Aussies. Ricky Ponting (23) failed again. Bevan (7) was bowled of an inside edge, cutting at a ball to close to his body. Harvey (1) and Lehmann (1) did not apply themselves and gave easy catches when they should have given support to their captain marvel, Steve Waugh. Andrew Symonds was unlucky to be given out, caught behind by the umpire. The ball clearly hit the pad on its way to the keeper and the bat was too far away from the ball. There wasn’t much fight left in the Aussies as Steve Waugh (23) holed out a catch in the deepafter Shane Warne (18) had run himself out.Earlier, Ganguly dropped himself down from the opener’s role and asked Rahul Dravid to open the innings with Tendulkar. Dravid (15) was caught behind by Gilchrist off an impressive Damien Fleming. VVS Laxman joined Tendulkar in the middle and steadied the Indian innings. They put on a match winning partnership of 199 runs for the second wicket in just 29.4 overs. Laxman made 83 (88 balls, 6 fours) before being run out. These two batsmen have had moments of indiscretion in running between wickets and this time it was Laxman’s turn to get out.India slipped from 231/1 in the 38th over to 299/8 in 50 overs. Damien Fleming shone with his bowling and finished with the most respectable figures of 10-1-34-2. His figures were achieved in the middle of a deluge of runs when Tendulkar was going full throttle. Ganguly lasted only for three balls before sending the ball high in the air to give Bevan an easy catch off the bowling of Fleming. McGrath came back and dismissed Tendulkar, caught by Fleming while going for a pull shot of a rising delivery. McGrath also accounted for Dahiya (0) and Dinesh Mongia (4). Ajit Agarkar (1) fell lbw to Ian Harvey, soon aftersurviving a big leg before appeal from McGrath.Hemang Badani, who made a hundred in the previous match, swung Warne for a massive six over long on but ran himself out after making 23 runs off 25 balls. Today was yet another day that belonged to the little master. Tendulkar played almost all the strokes in the game. A delicate late cut off Martyn to the third man fence, a paddle sweep off Symonds, a cracking inside out cover drive off Warne, pulling and cutting McGrath, it was all Tendulkar in full flow.Cammie Smith, the match referee did not waste much time in declaring Tendulkar as the Man of the Match.India are 2-1 up in the five match series. The next game will be played on April 3 in the east coast harbour city of Vishakapatnam.

When Celtic lost Jeremie Frimpong last winter, it was a big blow to their aspirations.

The Dutchman wasn’t always the most focused of defenders at Parkhead but he was always a rampant threat from an offensive point of view.

His Paradise exit left the Hoops in the lurch. They all of a sudden needed to find a right-back and didn’t discover one until very late in the window.

The player they signed was Jonjoe Kenny as the defender arrived on loan from Everton.

It looked like a solid piece of business on paper. He was in excellent form for Schalke last term, being nominated for the Bundesliga Rookie of the Year award for his performances.

However, he never showed much in Glasgow, failing to set the world alight.

Kenny demonstrated promising signs in the final third but he was particularly abject defensively. He was incredibly poor in the Scottish Cup defeat to Rangers.

In the process of being described as a “horror show” by ACSOM presenter Paul John Dykes, he was at fault for two goals. The full-back didn’t get close enough to Steven Davis for the opening goal and then allowed Ryan Kent to get across him for the second before diverting the ball into his own net.

Kenny was poor in successive Old Firm derbies and it would be a surprise if we saw him back in Glasgow next term.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-celtic-manager-and-transfer-news-ajer-howe-lampard-wilshere-gauld” title=”Read the latest Celtic manager and transfer news!”]

Celtic are still yet to replace Frimpong and it’s unlikely they’ll find his replacement in Anthony Ralston either. The full-back played just once this season and should now be usurped in the pecking order by Lee O’Connor.

The 20-year-old enjoyed an impressive season on loan at Tranmere in League 2 where his side reached a domestic cup final and also made it to the play-off semi-finals.

O’Connor starred at right-back but also made an impression in the middle of the park, applying a calm and composed head.

Speaking about the youngster earlier this term, Tranmere goalkeeper Joe Murphy commented: “Lee is an excellent, excellent player. He’s not a League Two player, Lee is like a Championship footballer. He’s clever, he’s really cool on the ball, very calm, and he’s like that as a lad too – very laid-back.”

Those qualities appear to be the polar opposite of both Kenny and Frimpong, two individuals who were rather panicked when defending one-on-one situations.

Murphy continued: “Lee is the sort of player who could play anywhere and he’d do a great job. He’s got a really big future and he’s a great lad. Whether it’s at Celtic or somewhere else, hopefully he can push on and get some more games under his belt.”

After providing first-team minutes to Adam Montgomery at the end of the season, Celtic showed they weren’t afraid to hand younger members of the team a go when needed.

Having earned just a second call-up to the Republic of Ireland squad this summer, he should be impressing enough to earn his senior debut for the Hoops next term.
