Andy Murray Says Resuming Season Stalled by Pandemic Not Top Priority Tennis Players Want to Get Back to Competing As Soon As Possible 18 Established 1961 Sports Thursday, April 30, 2020 Photo of the Day MotoGP boss ‘optimistic’ of July start PARIS: MotoGP chief Carmelo Ezpeleta said on Monday he was hopeful the season would start in July after having to cancel or postpone the opening eight races due to the coronavirus pandemic. “Right now we are optimistic to make a season be- tween July and November,” Ezpeleta, the CEO of MotoGP promoter Dorna, told broadcasters BT Sport. “If it’s possible then we will be able to but it depends on the situation because we need to take care about different things,” he added. Ezpeleta said the two other options being consid- ered are commencing in September as well as start- ing later in the year. Six of the of the season’s 12 races not to be postponed or cancelled are set to be held in Europe. Despite his positivity the Spaniard said having borders closed across the world poses a problem. “One is any individual country will need to allow us to do it when the doors are open and second is the possibility of travelling from one country to an- other,” he said. “In principle we will concentrate on trying to make a championship in Europe. “Depending on what the situation is, we will consider the possibility of going to the end of they year if the countries allow us to do it,” he added. Ezpeleta said if the campaign is to start then the races will be held behind closed doors. “We con- sider right now the most possible scenario is without spectators because unfortunately we don’t think for this season it will be possible unless there is vaccine.

  • October 2012
    Newsletter October 2012 Spring – new beginnings There’s a bit of change in the air – and plenty under review. The new Youth rate is certainly causing a bit of a stir. There is an alarming youth unemployment problem and if this creates the anticipated 2000 jobs for young people, then I believe the initiative to be a good one. Young people need help to get a foot in the door – and this just might do it. In case you don’t know the ins and outs, from 1 April the wage will be available to 16-17-year-olds in their first six months of work with a new employer, 18-19-year-olds entering the work force after six months on a benefit, and 16-19-year-olds in recognised industry training courses Mary Jensen, WECA Co-ordinator involving at least 40 credits. I recently attended the introduction to TROQ – the Targeted Review of Qualifications – for Mechanical Engineering trades. Competenz called the meeting and unfortunately there was only a small turnout. This review is important to the industry and I will keep involved and keep you posted when it really gets going next year in March/April. Merger of Industry Training Organisations is still occurring but is fairly slow. We now have 27 ITOs, an improvement on the 42 of 2008, but still a long way to go to get down to an ideal 10 or 12 or so. On a lighter note, we had an interesting company visit to Convex Plastics – thank you very much Owen and team for hosting us.

    World Rugby U20 Championship: The story so far World Rugby U20 Championship : The story so far We take a stroll down memory lane to look back at the 12 previous editions of the World Rugby U20 Championship. Now in its 13th year, the World Rugby U20 Championship has unearthed countless stars of the future and matches that have lived long in the memory. From Rugby World Cup winners such as All Blacks forward Sam Whitelock and Springboks’ fly-half Handré Pollard – the top points scorer in the RWC 2019 final – to current England captain Owen Farrell, age-grade international rugby’s premier event has provided the perfect stage to introduce exciting young talent. No less than 707 players have experienced playing at the U20 Championship before going on to be capped by their countries – enough to highlight its role in the player development pathway. Traditionally New Zealand have been the dominant force in the competition, capturing the title a record six times, with England the next-best on three. However, in recent times it is France who have emerged from the shadows. Les Bleuets won their inaugural title on home soil in 2018 before becoming the third team, after New Zealand and England, to successfully defend their crown in Argentina 12 months later with a thrilling 24-23 victory over Oceania U20 champions Australia.

Scotland will be aiming for a hat-trick of successive victories against the Wallabies, having won their last two encounters, at BT Murrayfield and in Sydney both in 2017. The last game at BT Murrayfield saw Scotland run in eight tries (there were 12 scored in total) in an astonishing 53-24 win over the team ranked third in the world at the time. Currently ranked sixth, the Wallabies are coached by Dave Rennie, former head coach at Glasgow Warriors who is assisted by the former Scotland defence coach Matt Taylor. It’s ten years since Scotland last beat the world’s number one ranked side, the Springboks, on home soil, though there have been some closely contested battles both home and away in the interim. The last time Scotland played South Africa at BT Murrayfield was in 2018 when they narrowly lost to the team that would go onto to lift the Rugby World Cup in Japan the following year. Tries from Peter Horne and Hamish Watson weren’t enough and the Scots were squeezed out 20-26. The last time Japan visited BT Murrayfield was in 2013 but the two teams have met three times since then. Scotland toured Japan in the Summer of 2016 and won a tough two-Test series.
