British Supersport Championship - Westmoreland Chasing Debut Win At Croft By Niall McGlone Photographs from www.centurionracing.net

Local motorcycle racer James Westmoreland is looking for more success as the British Superbike paddock heads to Croft, a circuit he calls his 'second local track'. The 20 year old who resides in Sproatley, finished fifth at what is essentially his home round at the recent Cadwell Park meeting in Louth. The result came after the Centurion Racing Honda rider notched up impressive back to back podiums at Snetterton and Knockhill, finishing 3rd and 2nd respectively.

Unfortunately Westmoreland couldn't go one better at his home round but nevertheless was happy enough with his fifth place finish; 'It doesn't sound fantastic after my previous 2nd and 3rd, but on a difficult weekend we dug deep and came away with good solid points.' Said the former British Supersport Cup champion. Westmoreland's current run of form has seen him rise to 4th in the British Supersport championship and with Croft in just over a weeks time, he is looking to add to his current points tally; "I'm looking forward to Croft, as I am aiming to qualify on the front row, and I will be going after my debut win at my 2nd home race." He added.

Westmoreland, who rides a Honda CBR600R for the Cornwall based Centurion team has all ready tasted success in a racing career that started back in 2001. He won the British Supersport Privateers Cup championship in 2007 before moving up to compete in the championship proper this season.

James is now looking for his first win of the season; 'There are only three races to go and I need a win on the board before the year is out.' Despite his more experienced opposition, the 20 year old is proving he is more than capable of taking his maiden win

Sports - Hard (an exploration of sport and masculinity, from the perspective of a recently-retired loose forward) By Perry Farrell

	No more rugby, then. Played me last game. Twenty years of it. I had some great times - on the field and off. But what was the point? You can get into the habit of something and let it become so big, that you can't even remember why you started doing it in the first place. I think it was all about being macho. Being hard. You didn't know why, but if you had a certain personality Read more...

Sports - Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting By Cilla Photographs by Roland Standaert and Mo
	The world of martial arts has always been a mystery to me. I wouldn't know the difference between a leg block and a karate chop. When I was presented with the opportunity to go a long to see what happens at a Kung Fu class, I thought it would be a good idea - it might help to de-mystify the sport. So one chilly Wednesday evening a couple of weeks ago Read more...

A set-piece from the first attack in the first minute. Traore - showing us the skill that scored that Burnley own goal - started as nervous as Read more...
