MANCHESTER CITY (4-2-3-1)HART,SAGNA, DEMICHELIS, OTAMENDI, CLICHY,FERNANDINHO, TOURE,NAVAS, SILVA, IHEANACHO,AGUEROVARDY,ALBRIGHTON, OKAZAKI, MAHREZ,DRINKWATER, KANTE,FUCHS, HUTH, MORGAN, SIMPSON,SCHMEICHELLEICESTER (4-2-3-1)With only 14 games remaining Leicester City are top of the Barclays Premier League; now they face they biggest test yet when they visit closest rivals and second-place Manchester City knowing that a win at the Etihad Stadium will take the Tigers six points clear of Manuel Pellegrini’s men.Leicester extended their fine season with an impressive 2-0 win over Liverpool with Jamie Vardy scoring twice, including a wonderful long-range volley. Those take his tally so far to 17 goals, though his opener was his first from outside the box this season.Now the Foxes have 50 points, only five short of their all-time top-flight record total (55 in 1999-2000).Manchester City owed their 1-0 win at Sunderland to another Sergio Aguero goal, his 17th of the season and 12th in his last 10 Premier League appearances.They return to the Etihad Stadium where they have won nine out of 12, more home victories than any other team in the top division.They entertain a Leicester side who have won seven away games, three more than they won on the road over the whole of last season; one more will be their most away wins in the Premier League, overtaking the seven they won in the 1997-98 campaign.And Leicester have a good record at Manchester City in the Premier League, winning three of their last four. Last season, however, they lost 2-0 when goals from David Silva and James Milner earned the home side the points.Manchester City miss Kevin De Bruyne and Vincent Kompany and test Wilfried Bony, Fabian Delph, Eliaquim Mangala and Jesus Navas.Leicester, meanwhile, could have new signing Daniel Amartey, a Ghana international, available, but Jeffrey Schlupp is out.
World Champs 100m hurdles champion Danielle Williams and former 100m world record holder Asafa Powell headline Jamaica?s 24 member squad to the International Association of Athletics Federations World Indoor Championships at the Oregon Convention Centre in Portland, Oregon, from March 17-20.The women?s team of 13 also includes World Championships 4x400m relay gold medallist Stephenie Ann McPherson and 200m silver medallist Elaine Thompson.Triple jumper Shanieka Thomas, combined events specialist Salcia Slack, and 800m runner Natoya Goule, who were members of the 2015 World outdoor squad, have also been included.The remaining females are Simone Facey, Patricia Hall, Chrisann Gordon, Samantha Scarlett, Anneisha McLaughlin, Verone Chamber and Ronda Whyte.On the men?s side, Powell headlines the 11-member squad, which includes world outdoor championships 110m hurdles finalist and 2014 and 2015 NCAA Division One 60m hurdle champion Omar McLeod.National record holder and 2013 NCAA 5000m champion Kemoy Campbell, Kevaughn Rattray, Odean Skeen, Ricardo Chambers, Fitzroy Dunkley, Nathon Allen, Dane Hyatt, Demar Murray, and Demish Gaye complete the line-up.Glaring absences from this squad include 2014 WIC 60m gold medallist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and men?s 60m silver medallist Nesta Carter.Trevor Campbell heads the management team, with Marvin Anderson and Merlene Hamilton listed as team officials.delegationThe delegation is completed by Jason Strachan (team doctor), Fitz Coleman (technical leader), Maurice Westney and Mark Elliott (coaches), Alvin Green (masseur), and Morine Dawson, (masseuse). The team will depart on March 16 and return on March 21.Jamaica won five medals at the last World Indoor Championships in Sopot, Poland, in 2014.
CONFIDENT “We have the national record in mind and I’m always a person who have confidence in my teammates no matter who we are up against. I’m always confident,” Jackson said. “We know it won’t be as easy as it was here in the heats, but we will do our best and we can hope that it’s good enough.” Jamaica’s lone win in the women’s 4x400m at the World Championships came in Edmonton in 2001. They were disqualified in the heats at the last World Championships in Moscow. BEIJING, China: Jamaica’s women’s 4×400 metres team will be hunting the national record when they line up in today’s final at the IAAF World Championships in Beijing, China. That was the word following their qualification yesterday as the team of Christine Day, Chrisann Gordon, Shericka Jackson and Anastasia Le-Roy easily secured their spot in the final with a 3:23.62 finish for second place in their heat. With Stephenie-Ann McPherson and Novlene Williams-Mills expected to come in to replace Le-Roy and Gordon for the final, which faces the starter at 7:05 a.m. (Jamaica time), the Jamaicans are liking their chances of testing the 3:18.71 national record mark, which was registered at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea. “God is good. We made it to the final and we are really happy that we get another chance to prove ourselves and we are trying to put up a show tomorrow (today) to show how great we can be on the relay,” said Day after the run. “We are going after the national record, so we know that we will have to be very fast because Jamaica has a pretty fast time already and so once we can go below that we know that we have a pretty good chance to compete with anyone here and get a medal,” Day continued. Individual 400m bronze medallist Shericka Jackson said she was confident in the team’s ability to meet its targets and improve the record and get on the podium.
Coming from a respected practitioner in the discipline, Tuesday, November 10 is Coaches Day. Foster’s Fairplay will not contest the revelation, given that it fits squarely in a plan, conceptualised post-Beijing World Championships. No less a person than Jamaica’s technical leader to Beijing, Maurice Wilson, has made a powerful call. The G.C. Foster College of Physical Education & Sport’s track and field boss and former Holmwood Technical High School long-serving title-winning coach has cited Lennox Graham for the title Coach of the Year. Graham has exported himself to the USA collegiate system and continues his life’s trade out of the Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU), a predominantly black institution in the belly of Charlotte, North Carolina. Given his ambitions, he might well have something even more stunning to roll out, but, to date, his athlete Danielle Williams’ surprise golden success in Beijing, sits supreme Wilson’s choice may not be cast in concrete, but it is embraced and endorsed by this columnist. Graham, who once coached purple-clad athletes, is now in charge of a team where navy blue and white stand out – a point to be noted. Foster’s Fairplay wanted to hear, not necessarily about that statistic which explains itself, but his Beijing experience. He explains: “This was my third assignment as coach on a World Championships team, previously assigned in Daegu (2011) and Moscow (2013). The experiences were awesome, as I consider it a honour to serve one’s country in any capacity. “Prior to my first call, it was never an expectation. It was more staying in a state of readiness. I was more focused on producing athletes who could compete well at the highest level.” About the Williams phenomenon in Beijing: “Danielle’s performance was definitely phenomenal. I firmly believe that God knows the end before the beginning, and all we have to do is have faith supported by actions. “The 100m hurdles field was very strong and we did not set our eyes on a final position. We wanted to make it to the final and get a personal best. The hope was that that approach would keep the focus in our lane and nowhere else.” What made the Queen’s School graduate so special? Special attributes “Danielle is a very willing athlete. She is a fierce competitor and she loves to race and to win. She is not similarly motivated at the thought of practice. From the beginning of the season, we agreed on the technical improvements that were necessary and so it was not difficult to gain buy-in. We had struggles like all other relationships, but I refused to let her quit or become mentally defeated.” Concerning his choice of overseas extension to his role in the sport and the ensuing challenges, Graham said: “I was blessed to be given an opportunity at Johnson C. Smith University to touch young lives in a positive way. “I wanted to continue what I started as a coach at Kingston College and Convent of Mercy Alpha, assisting young men/women achieve their career goals, utilising their God-given talents. JCSU was looking for a coach in 2007 and I interviewed on their campus and loved it. The facilities were great and underutilised, [there was] no recent top-level success in track and field and they needed a head coach. I interviewed with then President Dr Dorothy Cowser-Yancy and was very impressed with her demeanour and her vision.” With regard to recruitment strategy, given the current thrust to professionalism, he opined: “I am able to recruit Jamaican talent, but it is adversely affected by the number of students who are trying to be part of the local club system. Of course, there is also the school of thought that student athletes are overworked and burnt out in all colleges in the USA collegiate system. I will not join a debate on that subject, but prefer to just keep working positively with the student athletes that come under my influence.” Continue your advance, Coach Graham. – For feedback: email lauriefoster2012@gmail.com.
Ainsley WaltersGleaner WriterTHE Jamaican Jockey Agents Association, led by President Donovan Wilson, has joined the jockeys, grooms and Jamaica Racehorse Trainers associations in dismissing claims of affiliation to either of the two bidders involved in Government’s divestment of Caymanas Track Limited (CTL).The agents, who solicit rides on behalf of jockeys, liaising with trainers, are recognised and licensed by the Jamaica Racing Commission.In a press release signed by Wilson, the agents association said it “endorses the position taken by the racehorse trainers association, the grooms’ association and the Jamaica Jockey’s Association, as specified in their press release, regarding the neutrality of all associations in relation to the current bid for divestment.””We also stand with them in their declared stance not to endorse or support any action that involves the sale of any asset or land owned by CTL,” the agents’ release stated.Last week, the trainers, jockeys and grooms issued a joint press release, declaring their neutrality in the process while stating they were “totally against” any proposed sale involving any of Caymanas Park’s 196 acres on which the horse-racing plant operates in Portmore, St Catherine.The jockeys’ agents, in their release, further stated that Government should include a clause to guard against any long-term closure of the racetrack.”We implore that a clause be placed within the divestment negotiations that guarantee that, in the event that local racing ceases to be held at the CTL racetrack for a period of more than three months, that the lease of the property would be voided and the property revert to the control of the Jamaican government,” the release added.This clause, Wilson said, would safeguard his members’ livelihood.”My membership is involved in a very specific profession and they can only earn their living if local racing is functioning. This is similar to the other membership of the other unions ie jockeys, racehorse trainers and grooms.”The Development Bank of Jamaica (DBJ) is in receipt of bids from two entities expressing an interest in acquiring state-run horse-racing promoting company, CTL.The bids were received from Caymanas Racing and Entertainment Limited and Supreme Ventures Limited, following the bid opening exercise at DBJ, on Friday, September 18.Caymanas Racing and Entertainment Limited comprises a number of stakeholders at Caymanas Park, including noted horsemen and investors Michael Bernard, Richard Lake and trainer Richard Azan.The Development Bank of Jamaica and Caymanas Track Limited Enterprise Team (CTLET) are overseeing the privatisation process on behalf of the Ministry of Finance and Planning.It is anticipated that the evaluation will be completed this month after which the preferred bidder will be recommended by CTLET to the Ministry of Finance and Planning and to Cabinet for approval.
MANCHESTER, England (AP):Marcus Rashford signed a new contract with Manchester United through June 2020, a reward for the teenage striker’s breakthrough this season that could earn him a place in England’s European Championship squad.United announced the deal yesterday, saying Rashford has an option to extend the contract by a further year.The 18-year-old Rashford was plucked from the youth teams and given his senior debut in February because of an injury crisis at United. He scored two goals in his debut a Europa League game against FC Midtjylland and two more against Arsenal three days later in his first Premier League start.He scored the winner in his first Manchester derby and netted within three minutes of his England debut on Friday. England’s Euro 2016 squad will be announced today and Rashford looks to have done enough to have persuaded coach Roy Hodgson to select him as one of his forwards for the tournament.”I have always been a Manchester United fan, so to be playing in the first team really is a dream come true,” Rashford said in a United statement. “I am grateful for having the chance to prove myself. To be able to play football at the biggest club in the world means everything to me and my family.”Rashford was United’s first-choice striker in the final three months of the season under coach Louis van Gaal, who was fired last week.Jose Mourinho was hired Friday as Van Gaal’s replacement and must decide whether to retain Rashford as the No. 1 striker, with United linked with a move for Sweden international Zlatan Ibrahimovic.Rashford has scored eight goals in 17 appearances for United.”Marcus is a naturally talented footballer with great potential,” United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said. “He has taken his chances well and has integrated into the first team very quickly.
BARCELONA, Spain (AP): Javier Mascherano’s weight in the Barcelona team is measured by much more than his goals – or lack of. The club’s fans are more than happy to overlook the fact that he has never scored in nearly 300 appearances, because few players are as important to the Spanish champions. Having already proved his incredible flexibility over the years, the 32-year-old Mascherano is now learning another position. Mascherano is defying his age and increasing his worth in a team whose intricate passing style is incredibly demanding on players. The Argentina international has become coach Luis Enrique’s fix-it man. Already able to play either in midfield or as a central defender, Mascherano has now passed the test as Barcelona’s right back. He has filled in expertly for the injured Sergi Roberto, both as the right-sided defender in a back line of three, or in the four-man defence Luis Enrique used to thwart Manchester City on Wednesday in the Champions League. Enrique said yesterday that Mascherano may play on the flank for today’s visit to Valencia in the Spanish league. “The option of Mascherano is open,” said Enrique, who rarely reveals his line ups before the match. “He played a good match against City and he is one of the possibilities that I have for this and other matches.” Against City, he nullified winger Manuel ‘Nolito’ Agudo and also set up Barcelona’s opening goal. Stealing possession in City’s half, he sprang a quick attack that resulted in Lionel Messi’s first of three goals in a humbling 4-0 loss for former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola. Mascherano’s value is his versatility and willingness to sacrifice in a team full of incredibly talented individuals – such as Messi, Neymar, Luis Su·rez and AndrÈs Iniesta. It was Guardiola who gave Mascherano the first opportunity to reinvent himself at Barcelona when he was struggling to find a starting role. Having arrived from Liverpool in 2010, he found Sergio Busquets well entrenched in his own position of holding midfielder. It was a simple choice: adapt or fail. So when a spate of injuries left Barcelona without a central defender, he seized his chance. Mascherano compensates for a height disadvantage with intelligent play, such as when he anchored the side that beat Manchester United 3-1 in the 2011 Champions League final. “I never thought I would be here this long,” he said. “I know what I can do, but I also know the demands that Barca places on you. In any other team, I would have liked to play in midfield, but changing positions was worth it to keep playing here.” Mascherano plays in midfield for Argentina and is a key player for the side that reached the final of the 2014 World Cup, losing to Germany. His latest positional change for Barcelona goes against a customary trend. The usual evolution of aging defenders is changing from a wide position to slot inside, compensating for dwindling speed. Barca’s coach saw the potential for Mascherano to do this when Roberto injured a leg muscle earlier this month. He overlooked Roberto’s natural replacement, Aleix Vidal, and asked Mascherano to take on the role. Mascherano’s industry more than makes up for the fact that he has not scored in 290 appearances – a Barcelona club record for an outfield player. “I am not obsessed over it,” he said. “A goal wouldn’t change my life.” Mascherano’s contributions, which have helped win 17 titles, are fully appreciated and he signed a new contract on Monday until 2019. “My time here at Barcelona has been magical,” he said. “Year after year the team has kept its hunger.” SIMPLE CHOICE
Bad weather again played a major part in the second-round WICB/Digicel Regional Four-day clash between Jamaica Scorpions and Windward islands Volcanoes at Sabina Park yesterday.After losing close to two sessions on the opening day, it was much of the same on the second day, with Jamaica not taking the field until late into the second session because of a combination of a damp outfield and intermittent rain.Resuming on 83 for six, the Nikita Miller-led unit was then bowled out for a paltry 151, twenty minutes before the scheduled 5 p.m. close of play.The Volcanoes, after facing one over, closed the day on one without loss.Opener Devon Smith and Tyrone Theophille, who are both yet to score, will resume batting today at 9 30 a.m.Jamaica, who scored 208 and 147 in their opener last week against title-holders Guyana Jaguars, put in another weak batting effort. Only wicketkeeper-batsman Devon Thomas (51) got among the runs yesterday. Antiguan Thomas, who was unbeaten on 18 overnight, was the ninth man out.He was caught at bat pad off the bowling of off-spinner Shane Shillingford.Thomas hit three fours off 137 balls. He was also the only batsman who appeared capable of standing up to Shillingford, who claimed five for 32 off 15 overs.Thomas was one of three Scorpions batsmen to get into double figures. The others were opener John Campbell, with 32, on the opening day and his overnight partner, Damion Jacobs, who got 23.At Queen’s Park Oval: Pride lead Red Force by 94 runs overall.Barbados Pride 242 (Anthony Alleyne 88, Kenroy Williams 46; Sheldon Cottrell 3-27) and 20 without loss.Trinidad and Tobago Red Force 168 (Roshon Primus 65, Imran Khan 35; Kenroy Williams 3-21)At Warner Park: Hurricanes trail Jaguars by 136 runs, with one first-innings wicket intact.Guyana Jaguars 293 (Shiv Chanderpaul 81 not out, Rajendra Chanrika 64; Rahkeem Cornwall 6-87)Leeward Islands Hurricanes 157 for nine (Kieran Powell 79; Gudakesh Motie 3-43).
