Huddersfield Giants’ Innes Senior has done little to play down the importance of Friday’s clash against Hull KR . The Robins host Huddersfield on Friday night in what can only be described as a four-pointer as they jostle for position in the battle to avoid relegation from the Super League this season. Rovers picked up two points at Leeds Rhinos last week and they have been installed as the bookies favourites for the clash against a side who have won just one of their last six outings. Nevertheless, with both sides locked on 16 points, Senior has underlined the importance of getting one over their rivals this weekend as they look to move away from the top flight trap door. “It’s massive, a bottom-of-the-table clash,” he told the Huddersfield Examiner. “We know we’re going to have to bring our best game if we’re going to win because they’re a good team and are coming off a win and we’ve just come off a defeat. … [Read more...] about Giants’ Innes Senior does little to play down Hull KR clash

‘Even a little breeze can push me sideways’
A runner dressed as Britain's most famous clock who was knocked off course by wind during a race is hoping for better weather this Sunday when he dons the costume once again for the London Marathon.A video of Lukas Bates, from Maidstone, at last month's Vitality Big Half in London went viral on Twitter when he got stuck at Canary Wharf as strong gusts created a wind tunnel, and fellow runners were called on to rally around him and push him in the right direction.However, he has not let the experience put him off and is now looking to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest marathon dressed as a landmark building - which stands at three hours, 34 minutes and 34 seconds - when he dusts off the costume of the Queen Elizabeth Tower - home to Big Ben - this weekend.The quantity surveyor, who is running in support of the Dementia Revolution, has a marathon personal best of two hours and 59 minutes, but due to the shape and size of his costume, which towers around 1.5m above his head, … [Read more...] about ‘Even a little breeze can push me sideways’
‘I sat there with bleach and told him not to come near me’
PUBLISHED: 13:31 20 April 2019 | UPDATED: 13:31 20 April 2019 Reece Hanson Carley Fletcher after being assaulted by her partner David Learmonth. PHOTO: Carley Fletcher Archant A domestic violence survivor who had to spray her boyfriend with bleach to stop a vicious assault has urged people to reach out and get protection from abusers. Carley Fletcher was subjected to the horrific attack by her boyfriend of five months David Learmonth, who repeatedly kicked her in the head and held a broken chair leg to her throat.Shortly before the attack, which took place on December 13 last year, Learmonth changed his relationship status on Facebook to 'widowed', before trying to climb up to her flat on a ladder outside.She said: “I didn't want him to kick off outside because there is a baby in the building so I went running down and let him inside.“He was getting mad so I locked my dog in my bedroom. My dog doesn't like him anyway because of the way he … [Read more...] about ‘I sat there with bleach and told him not to come near me’
Tranmere defeat does little to alter Dons’ landscape
"It's not over today, even if we'd have won it wouldn't have made the season either," said Paul Tisdale on the sidelines at Prenton Park on Saturday. His side losing to Tranmere Rovers saw Dons drop out of the automatic promotion spots. Having started the day third, level with Mansfield on 72 points, the Stags' 1-1 draw with Northampton and Bury's 2-0 win over Colchester, along with Dons' loss changes the layout of the division, but does little to alter the grand scheme of things.Victory for Dons would all but ended Tranmere's hopes of automatic promotion, Rovers are now within touching distance. Three points separate the contenders and it is still very much a four horse race for the remaining two places.Frustratingly, there was not much to write home about from Prenton Park from Dons' point of view. Tranmere keeper Scott Davies was barely called into action all afternoon, though he was called upon to pick out Kieran Agard's header just two minutes after David Perkins' opener on the … [Read more...] about Tranmere defeat does little to alter Dons’ landscape
