  8. Carney return 'a boost'published at 18:24 British Summer Time 27 April 2015

    Forward Karen Carney's return from injury has lifted spirits of winless Women's Super League side Birmingham City, says defender Kerys Harrop.

    Carney, 27, who was the top-flight's leading scorer in 2014, made her first appearance this term as a substitute in Sunday's 1-0 home loss to Chelsea. Birmingham are second-from-bottom with just two points from four games.

    "It's a massive confidence boost - Caz is a massive player in the team," England defender Harrop told BBC Sport.

    But Terry said: "We are definitely not boring and if we do go on to win it, nobody's going to remember those performances when perhaps it's not been that exciting.

    "Possession and tippy-tappy football's great - but if you are not winning games, you're not going to win the league."

    On its website, WADA is now "encouraging you to contact us, in confidence, to share information related to the allegations or any other doping suspicions or concerns."

    Hull FC prop Mickey Paea faces a ban after he was charged with two grade B offences of raising his knees in a tackle during the home defeat by Huddersfield on Friday night.

    Paea used up his early-guilty plea earlier in the season to contest a similar charge and will therefore appear before an independent disciplinary tribunal on Tuesday.

  19. Hull set to reject Salford requestpublished at 17:44 British Summer Time 27 April 2015

    Hull FC are set to formally reject Salford's request to postpone Friday's Super League fixture, BBC Radio Humberside understands.

    The Red Devils made the approach because of an "unprecedented injury crisis", with 16 potential absentees.

    Without permission from the Rugby Football League or Hull, postponement would be open to penalties.

  20. Hatton on Mayweather v Pacquiaopublished at 17:41 British Summer Time 27 April 2015

    British boxing legend Ricky Hatton has fought - and lost to - both Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand. That puts him in a unique position to judge the 'super-fight' between the two in Las Vegas on Saturday. He has been giving his insights into the fight to our man Ben Dirs. Here is a snippet of what he had to say...

    "It's got a clash of styles and a clash of personalities - good guy versus bad guy... We'll still be talking about this fight in 30 or 40 years' time, just like we're still talking about the Ali-Frazier or Hagler-Hearns fights. Just as a boxing fan I'm excited. But the fact I boxed both of them makes me a keener observer than most."
