Goodwood Revival 2018 preview: step back in time for a magical weekend of motor racing
It is hard to believe that the Goodwood Revival is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the circuit having reopened for competitive use in September 1998 after its closure in 1966. The Revival was launched as a return to the golden age of motor racing in the Fifties and Sixties, when Goodwood hosted top-level meetings featuring the best drivers of the era. It has since grown exponentially to become one of the biggest historic motorsport events in the world and the only one to be staged entirely in period dress. The Goodwood team are sticklers for detail, and as well as encouraging period costume all the features within the circuit perimeter are strictly pre-1966. Not always authentic, admittedly, but certainly of an authentic style. With such a momentous anniversary to celebrate from September 7-9, Goodwood has pulled out all the stops to invite as many previous winners - and their cars - as possible, with a 60-car track parade on each of the three days featuring the great and … [Read more...] about Goodwood Revival 2018 preview: step back in time for a magical weekend of motor racing
Swansea City breaking news RECAP
Saturday's 1-1 draw with rock bottom West Brom will certainly feel like an opportunity missed for Swansea City, but results elsewhere have offered some cause for optimism. With both Stoke City and Southampton finishing the weekend with defeats, the Swans have now extended the gap separating them from the dropzone to four points. Tammy Abraham's return to the scoresheet will also be seen as a big positive by boss Carlos Carvalhal, who is also gearing up to welcome Jordan Ayew back into the first team fold following his three-match suspension. However, there are real concerns for centre-back Mike van der Hoorn, who was forced off at half-time at the Hawthorns with a shoulder injury. There is a little more optimism over Martin Olsson's fitness for the visit of Everton on Saturday, after initial fears that a heavy challenge from Matt Phillips risked condemning him to a spell on the sidelines. You can relive all the latest developments from the Liberty Stadium with our live blog below. … [Read more...] about Swansea City breaking news RECAP

Joggers clock up the miles after losing an hour sleep at Cranleigh, Christ’s Hospital and Lancing
The choice for Horsham Joggers last weekend included two distances at Cranleigh, the 15 or 21 miler, or two 10k races at either Christ’s Hospital or Lancing College. Losing one hour of sleep as the clocks went forward made it seem a very early start. The somewhat overcast weather across the South-East was not encouraging, but not too bad for running. The Christ’s Hospital event was very well organised by local running group Mel’s Milers. The race started with a lap of the school grounds before heading off to Southwater along the Downs Link, through Southwater Country Park, and back along the Downs Link. Almost 30 Horsham Joggers took this 10k option and there were some very good times among the results. Simon Perkins 38.13, Matt Mason 38.23, Dean Angell 38.32, Harry Wilcox 39.27, Hadley O’Dwyer 39.28, Raff Vitale 39.46, Tom Robertson 41.01, Mark Hawthorne 42.49, Euan Ramage 44.42, Paul Aylett 45.33, Philip Liberman 46.02, Lin Whiting 46.20, Emma Walters 46.55, … [Read more...] about Joggers clock up the miles after losing an hour sleep at Cranleigh, Christ’s Hospital and Lancing
