Annagh United have not been able to benefit from a NIFL Championship season for well publicised reasons arising from the corona virus pandemic, so this will have affected their preparations for tonight’s game. Nevertheless, they will come here determined to make a positive impression, especially with the game being streamed live on BBC online. They will come here with nothing to lose and full of belief that they can pull off a shock result, so we have been thoroughly professional in our preparations for this important game in a hugely prestigious competition. Ross Larkin had to be withdrawn from Saturday’s game at Mourneview Park due to injury, so he will not be available for tonight’s game. We will assess one or two other players for slight knocks after Saturday’s game, before deciding on our line-up for tonight’s game. Our only long-term injury absentee remains Kyle McClean and we all wish him well on the road to recovery, following his recent surgery. Matthew Clarke has recently agreed a contract extension that will pledge his future to the club until the end of the 2022-23 season. He's an important and experienced member of our squad and I'm delighted that our popular full-back has shown his continued commitment and loyalty to the club. Brandon Doyle, who's been on loan at Warrenpoint, has signed a pre-contract with Crusaders, to take effect at the end of the season. I was delighted with our recent 2-1 home win against Ballymena but sadly, we were hugely disappointing in Saturday's 3-2 reverse away to Glenavon. Too many players had an off-day at Mourneview Park and we can ill-afford any further such setbacks. We have a seven point lead at the top of the table going into the league split and it's an advantage that we must protect and maintain over the coming weeks. We have a huge game at the Oval on Saturday and it's one we will turn our full focus to, once tonight's important game is out of the road. We will go to the Oval aiming to secure the first of the three wins that we need to secure the Premiership title. At this crucial end of the season period, we could do with the vocal backing of our loyal supporters and we really are looking forward to the day when we will be able to welcome our greatly missed supporters back to our games, home and away. In conclusion, can I send the best wishes of our players, staff and myself to one of our former players Dessie Cathcart who's currently ill in the Ulster Hospital. Dessie and his family have been in the thoughts and prayers of us all.

The milestone excites me and hopefully I can get there as soon as possible.” The former Ballyclare Comrades and Glenavon winger left Linfield to join Oxford United in EFL League One last summer, before returning to Windsor Park on loan in January. However, he informs the club programme that he’s been disappointed with his performances since returning. “I’ve found it tough.

  • Joey Beauchamp – the Player of a Generation
    Joey Beauchamp – the player of a generation My dad spoke about it evocatively, a moment of silence, a collective disbelief. In the split of a second your mind slows the world down to allow your brain to comprehend what you’ve seen, converting it into a physical reaction. It happened to him once, watching Wolves in the 1960s, a moment in a game where your perception of what’s possible and the reality of what you’ve seen leaves a silent, motionless gap. It lasts a nanosecond, but you can live in it for an eternity, even when it passes, fragments of your memory retain it. You can revisit it when you need a safe space. Physically, you move on, metaphysically, you can rest. I’ve been there twice; against Wrexham in 2009; we needed a goal deep into injury-time to sustain our unlikely promotion charge out of the Conference. The ball was worked out to Craig Nelthorpe. At the other end, Billy Turley theatrically threw himself to the turf, he couldn’t watch, but we didn’t need him anymore, it was now or it was never. Nelthorpe looped in a cross, James Constable leapt, straining every muscle. He connected, guiding the ball towards goal. It clipped the underside of the bar and dropped down behind the line. The forging of what you want and what you get. And there it was, that moment of disbelief, a glimpse of hyper-reality, that silence. And then, an eruption. But it was the first time that was most memorable and a moment that lives in the collective psyche of those who were there.

    NAME: _________________________ A Numeracy and Literacy based workbook aimed at Upper KS2 Primary Level students. THE EUROS The UEFA European Championships (The Euros) is the main football competition contested by national teams in Europe. It has been held every four years since 1960. The host(s) nations qualify automatically, whilst all other teams gain entry by qualifying from groups drawn before the tournament commences. The 14 European Championships tournaments to date have been won by nine different national teams, with Germany and Spain winning three times each. France has won twice, whilst the Soviet Union, Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Greece and Czechoslovakia have each won once. The Henri Delaunay Trophy is awarded to the tournament winners. It is named in honour of Henri Delaunay, the first General Secretary of UEFA, who is credited with conceiving of the idea of a European championship competition. He died five years prior to the first tournament in 1960. The most recent championship, co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine in 2012, was won by Spain, who beat Italy 4–0 at the final in Kiev. The next European Championship will be hosted in France.

However, there has been no official comment on the rumours about the resignation, which if true would mean scrapping the grilling filed two weeks ago by three MPs over alleged violations, especially the payment of the $2.2 billion penalty to US’ Dow Chemical. Hussein submitted his resignation to the prime minister along with all Cabinet members two weeks ago after MPs surprised everyone by filing two requests to grill the ministers. In the meantime, Hussein carried out one of the biggest reshuffle in the oil sector, replacing the chief exec- utive officers of all the eight companies under Kuwait Petroleum Corp. The shakeup also included replacing the chief execu- tive officer of KPC Farouq Al-Zanki, who was replaced by Nezar Al- Adasani. A number of MPs swiftly welcomed the reported resignation but no one confirmed the report. MP Abdullah Al- Tameemi said the accept- Hani Hussein ance of the resignation of the oil minister was “long over- due” but called for following the issue on the payment of Dow penalty in court.
