Edwards facing layoff after ankle break
LONDON (CMC): Former West Indies and Barbados speedster Fidel Edwards is facing a long spell on the sidelines after fracturing his ankle during warm-ups on the final day of Hampshire’s County Championship game against Yorkshire on Wednesday. Hampshire confirmed the injury on Thursday and said Edwards would undergo tests to determine the extent of the damage and his recuperation period. “Hampshire Cricket can confirm that fast-bowler Fidel Edwards has suffered a fractured right ankle, which was sustained during the warm-up on day four of the Specsavers County Championship match against Yorkshire at Headingley,” the club said in a statement. “Fidel will see a specialist (Thursday), which will help determine the predicted length of time that he will be out of action for.” The loss of the 34-year-old Edwards will be huge for Hampshire, who are already stricken with an injury crisis that has claimed Reece Topley, Ryan Stevenson, Gareth Berg, Liam Dawson, Chris Wood, and Sean Ervine. Edwards has played both Hampshire games this season, taking three wickets against Warwickshire in the opening game earlier this month. He went wicketless from 23 overs in the first innings against Yorkshire but was ruled out of action in the second innings. FREAK ACCIDENT Hampshire’s coach, Dale Benkenstein, said the injury came about in a freak accident during a game of football before the start of play. “We were only 45 seconds away from the end of the game when Fidel went to kick the ball,” the South African said. “I was just about to get the mitts on for fielding practice when his foot got stuck in the turf and all his weight went over on it. There was no one near him. It was a really freakish fall, and there was a loud crack. “It was clear it was bad when he started calling out for T (Hampshire physio Thihan Chandromohan).” Edwards was Hampshire’s leading wicket-taker last season, with 45 wickets from just eight games, and was rewarded with a contract for the new season. He has played 55 Tests for West Indies, taking 165 wickets.
Forward Duhaney Williams’ lone strike in the 14th minute secured an outright win for reigning ISSA-Flow Manning Cup champions Jamaica College over St Jago High, while at the same time, securing the holders’ comfortable passage to yet another semi-finals. The ‘Dark Blues’ pretty much went untested in Group I action which saw them spank second place team Denham 6-0 in their opening game, overcome Hydel High 3-1 and down bottom placed St Jago 1-0, yesterday. Ironically it will be goal-scorer Williams’ first Manning Cup semi-finals. He formerly played for Manchester High in the rural-area daCosta Cup competition. “I feel very good helping the team reach another semi-final. I am really excited and looking to help the team go all the way,” he told The Gleaner after scoring what was his 10th goal this season. “I am confident we can win another championship, and I will be going out there, and hoping to make a difference and do my best every game, and help get the win,” he underlined. YESTERDAY’S RESULTS: The game was played on a slippery and watery Constant Spring Complex surface in St Andrew, which made ball control almost impossible. The poor underfoot conditions clearly had an effect on the team and in truth JC could have swamped St Jago by a bigger score, but the conditions certainly did not encourage clinical finishing. Nonetheless, goal-keeper Akeem Chambers was the Monk Street-based school’s best player and was kept busy throughout the contest, commanding his area to make several telling interceptions and blocks to keep his team interested. JC’s assistant trainer Donald Stewart said he was happy with the win, and his team’s progress. “I am confident that we can retain the Manning Cup. We don’t wear confidence; we go out there and display it,” Stewart reasoned. Meanwhile, at Prison Oval in Spanish Town, in the other 3 p.m. game, Denham Town clipped Hydel 3-2. Denham Town’s scorers were; Jermaine Lyons in the 10th, Rojaun Bennett 65th, with Lloyd Carter rounding out the scoring with an 86 minute strike. Hydel suffered their second loss of the campaign, with Brad Tully (43) and Nicholas Nelson (87), getting their goals.

The 29-year-old Argentina captain has not gone two consecutive games without scoring since early September, and is the league’s leading scorer with 19 goals – one more than teammate, Luis Suarez. He has scored 10 times in his last nine league games, and has 11 goals in 14 matches overall in 2017. If Barcelona beat fourth-place Atletico, Messi will earn his 400th career victory with the Catalan club. He has 399 wins, 64 losses and 102 draws in all competitions since his official debut in 2004. Barcelona have been struggling recently, though, coming off a humiliating 4-0 loss at Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and a lackluster 2-1 win over relegation-threatened Leganes at Camp Nou last Sunday, when Messi scored twice, including a 90th-minute winner after a controversial penalty. Atletico, meanwhile, have won three in a row in the league and are coming off a 4-2 win at Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League. Although the Spanish league title remains a long shot, victory over Barcelona could bring the team closer to Sevilla in third place, which guarantees an automatic qualifying spot for next season’s Champions League. MADRID, Spain (AP): Lionel Messi scores goals, lots of them. And no team has allowed more of them than Atletico Madrid. The Barcelona forward will get a chance to add to his impressive tally of 26 career goals against Atletico tomorrow, when a victory at the Vicente Calderon Stadium could move the defending champions ahead of Real Madrid for the first time in months. Barcelona are only one point behind Madrid, but the Spanish league leaders still have a game in hand and face Villarreal later tomorrow. “There’s still a lot of league left, but we can’t falter anymore,” Barcelona defender Jordi Alba said. “We are alive, and we are convinced that if we keep doing things right the way, we will have a chance to win the title.” Messi has been averaging a goal per game in all competitions and has scored 34 times this season. One of those came against Atletico in this year’s Copa del Rey. LEADING SCORER
RELAY GENIUS National 400 metres champion Javon Francis could miss the 123rd Penn Relays. Francis left last week’s IAAF World Relays with an injury niggle. His absence in the men’s 4×400 metres relay final held Jamaica to third. Checks reveal that Francis has a minor hamstring strain. This niggle may well rule him out of the Jamaica team for the USA versus the World 4x400m event on Saturday at the Penn Relays. Francis, the Jamaica champion in both 2015 and 2016, laboured through his second-leg duties at the World Relays in an unofficial split time of 45.9 seconds. By comparison, his brisk anchor-leg circuit for the Akan Track Club at the Gibson McCook Relays in February was timed in 45.1 seconds. The former Calabar star is a renowned relay genius. In 2013, he produced the fastest high school 4×400 leg – 44.8 – in Penn Relays history. In 2015, at the World Championships, he equalled the quickest 4×400 leg ever by a Jamaican with a run of 43.5 seconds. With him on the sidelines, Peter Matthews, Demish Gaye, Martin Manley and Steven Gayle took the bronze in 3 minutes 02.86 seconds at the World Relays.
