If the Boston Red Sox can't win the World Series, then the next best thing is that the New York Yankees don't either. They were knocked out of the playoffs yesterday by the Detroit Tigers 3-1 in the best of five series.
The New York Mets look like a good bet right now - they swept the Los Angeles Dodgers yesterday.
Rugby Notes
Great win for Ebbw yesterday over Aberavon. 27-25 in a thriller. We could have wrapped it up early but a few forward passes meant that we didn't capitalise on early pressure, and we let Aberavon back into the game.
Some great work in the lineout by Neil Edwards again, and the front row worked hard too. Our backline looked good going forward, with Matt Jess impressing every time he had the ball. Tackling was a bit loose on occasion though. Good heart though, and we managed to fight some loose officiating which let the Wizards get away with muder on the fringes. After 48 second-half minutes the ref eventualy called time & we came away with a much deserved win.
Scorers: tries for Simon Hunt, Nio Aiono (in his best game for the club) and John Bowd, with 3 conversions and two penalties for Sam Mills.
Highlight: best all-round performance of the season.
Lowlight: the way that the lineout disintegrated in the last ten minutes without Neil Edwards to organise it. Could have cost us the game.
