Madhatters' premier men's football team are making themselves at home in Northland's premier competition with their latest 3-0 win over Kerikeri on Saturday. Playing in their first year back in the top local division, Madhatters are on a three-game winning streak after two 5-1 wins over FC Whangārei and Tikipunga. The team's last loss came in a tight 2-1 result against Kaeo-Inter on May 4. Madhatters striker Greg Tetlaw opened his side's scoring account at the Otaika Domain this weekend after just 10 minutes before catching the Kerikeri goalkeeper off his line 20 minutes later with a superb shot from 30 metres out to make the score 2-0 in their favour. Thankfully for Madhatters, the wind which they had been playing with in the first half died down in the second half, giving the visitors less of an advantage. Despite a strong fightback from Kerikeri early in the second half, the home side regained control through another goal from star winger Reuben Nicholl

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — For 2022 World Cup host Qatar, every Copa America match will be like a final. Sunday's clash against Paraguay at the historic Maracana stadium is especially so because it is probably the team's best chance to pick up points in the tournament. Qatar's Spanish coach Felix Sanchez told journalists on Saturday his team will try to compete at a high level in all three group stage matches against Argentina, Colombia and Paraguay. He believes the first two are candidates to win the title, meaning the game against the Paraguayans represents the best chance for Asian Cup holder Qatar to register a victory. "It will be like a final," said Sanchez. "But it will be the same against Argentina and Colombia. These are all great footballing nations." Qatar, which is making its Copa America debut, lost a friendly against hosts Brazil 2-0 earlier this month. Brazil coach Tite said he was impressed with Qatar's defense, although the

Peyton Manning adds another honor in TN Sports Hall of Fame AP Published 7:34 p.m. ET June 15, 2019 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Peyton Manning, the former quarterback with a record five NFL MVPs among the string of awards and honors to his credit, calls his decision to attend the University of Tennessee one of the best he's ever made. That makes being inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame on Saturday night along with a handful of fellow Volunteers and David Cutcliffe, his former quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator, even more memorable. "It's very special," Manning said. "I was proud to have played at the University of Tennessee for four years and you go into the NFL, you kind of carry your alma mater with you and have wonderful support from friends, teammates, coaches throughout my career. ... So to be honored and have a chance to reflect on my time in college and all the relationships and memories, it's been very special." Man

FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019 Kicks Off this Friday in France © Photo by Harry How/Getty Images America holds the cup. Who can take it from them? And I’ve found one points-based fantasy format (so far) Not nearly as craze-inducing as its men’s tournament, FIFA’s Women’s World Cup offers us another summer-time flag-waving opportunity, and it starts in just a few days. Unlike last year’s tourney, I (in America) have a team involved. And it’s not just any team — the USA holds the cup from four years ago. The tournament opens on Friday June 7th with the host country France taking on South Korea. ~ World Cup Fantasy This being a fantasy footie blog, I started a month ago searching high and low to find a fantasy format like what we played last year. I even wrote to FIFA, ESPN and Fox Sports. ESPN wrote back that they’re out this year. FIFA wrote back that their fantasy game would return for the women, but I haven’t seen it yet; I’ll post an update if I learn anything. What I di

 confirmando su gran momento y se impuso por un doble 6-4 al también español Roberto Carballés. El vigente campeón del torneo barcelonés no dio opción a su rival, que entró en la competición tras recibir una de las cuatro invitaciones que repartió la organización. “No jugué del todo bien” , reconoció Nadal.  “Pero era importante ganar y mañana habrá otra oportunidad para subir el nivel” , añadió el mallorquín. Nadal se enfrentará en octavos de final a su compatriota Guillermo García-López, que pasó de ronda este miércoles tras el abandono del japonés Kei Nishikori.

NBA News: San Antonio Spurs Playoff Hopes, Houston Rockets Win, Russell Westbrook Triple-double The 109-93 loss was the Spurs’ ninth in 11 games, and puts Gregg Popovich’s team on a 37-30 record, which has seen them drop to the 10th seed in the Western Conference. It was the 1996-97 season when the Spurs last missed out on the postseason and, while there’s still plenty of time to go in the regular season, it’s a position this franchise has rarely been put in, in recent memory. James Harden led the way for the Rockets with 28 points, six rebounds, and six assists, while Chris Paul posted 18 points and nine assists for the team’s that’s surged to the top of the Western Conference. The Rockets are among the two teams in the West to have locked up a spot in the playoffs, joined only by the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors.
