Essex Cricket Club hit a six for kindness by visiting Broomfield Hospital to spread festive cheer to patients, staff and families! 🎄🏏 Players from the men’s and women’s teams took a break from training to bring smiles, gifts and joy to the children’s ward. Essex stars Jamie Porter, Tom Westley, Shane Snater, Kelly Castle, Jo Gardner and Cordelia Griffith chatted with patients of all ages to brighten their day. Men’s Captain Tom Westley said: “It was really eye-opening to visit Broomfield Hospital today and see first-hand what a wonderful job the staff here do, especially at this time of year. “Sport has enormous power to uplift spirits, and if my teammates and I can provide even a little bit of joy at Christmas to children and families who have so much going on, that means the world.”

⚽ 💶 The solidarity contribution in football is calculated based on the agreed transfer fee. The agreed transfer fee for calculating the solidarity contribution does not include certain additional payments or clauses such as: ➡ Performance-related bonuses: payments based on the player's future performance (e.g., goals scored or appearances). ➡ Add-ons or conditional fees: extra fees that depend on future events (e.g., team success, player milestones). ➡ Training compensation: separate from the transfer fee, paid directly to the clubs for player development.

Superb cause and a superb post from my good friend Jason Costello If you or someone you know has been affected by #MND or you want to passively or actively back a positive mission of hope, then read the post below.
Head of Marketing at acceptcards UK's largest Independent Payments Broker 💳💷-Trustee at ROKT Foundation 🧗-Board Member at Brighouse Town AFC ⚽
Saturday night under the lights at Old Trafford...... The first #FootballAgainstMND Gala Dinner went into full swing, supporting the great work of The Mel Evans MBE Foundation and the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation. Football legends, soap stars, rugby heroes, journalists along with scientific boffins (proper term) who are committed to advancing a cure for MND through research and trials were joined by MND warriors, their families, friends and supporters who in standing strong and BANGING 🥁together shows the power the MND Community has in helping move the dial against this cruel disease. Great night with Caroline Quick, Mike Wilson Sally Wilson Steve Wood Charlotte Morris, John Coleman, Chris Kirkland and his family A special thank you must go to United’s Nicky Butt and Corrie star Daniel Brocklebank for letting me interrupt their evening to share an idea with them but more so for their kindness in making it happen without hesitation 🙏 A powerful and life-affirming night filled with laughter, wonderment, tears and inspiration that showed it’s our friendships are key when you’re going through the biggest of life challenges, but when coupled with the kindness of people we don’t know or may never meet then we really do create a superpower that can help drive and deliver hope. There is a saying you hear a lot “It's the #HOPE that kills us”. I beg to differ, as I think it's the lack of #HOPE that will break us. With the likes of Darby Rimmer MND Foundation, The Mel Evans MBE Foundation, Lynn Pritchatt, Richard Brailsford, Steph Houghton MBE, Mike Wilson, Filipe Morais, Louise & Marcus Stewart, My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, Ian Flatt, David Setters Lindsay Burrow, Kev Sinfield & Dame Professor Pamela Shaw leading the charge for team #AttackMND……….. I’m hopeful 💪❤️ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- If any good people who read this post can help drive more #HOPE with sponsorship of a stage maybe a core walker in #MarchOfDay2 or want to get walking yourself hit the link in the comments or speak to Mike Wilson who will help make that a reality 🥁🚶🚶♂️➡️🚶♀️➡️🚶➡️🚶♂️🥁 #MND #FootballAgainstMND #Charity #Research #Community #Hope

In sudden cardiac arrest, every second is critical. Defibrillators are life-saving devices that can make the difference between life and death, yet many workplaces, schools, and public spaces still lack these essential tools. We are delighted to have provided this vital piece of equipment to Deeside Rugby Club for peace of mind. Thank you to Kore Solutions for installing this unit free of charge for us. Why defibrillators matter: Immediate response: Quick access can significantly improve survival rates. Easy to use: Modern defibrillators are designed for use by anyone, with clear instructions and voice prompts If you do not have a defibrillator at your facility, it is vital to know where the nearest available defibrillator is to your location. You can find the nearest defibrillator to you here: www.defibfinder.uk Save Lives with Defibrillators: Every Second Counts! #TeamStork #Defibrillators #CSR

Marc Wood, Stork’s Training Advisor will be on hand to provide #defibrillator training to all of the club coaches in the coming weeks. We would also like to thank Kore Solutions, who installed the defibrillator free of charge.

#3 On the way forward for WRU Ditch the Regions in Favour of Three Club Identities The regional model was a bold experiment, but it has failed—and clinging to it will only prolong Welsh rugby’s woes. It’s time to ditch the regions and embrace three well-known and historically rich club identities: Newport, Cardiff, and Llanelli. This approach acknowledges a hard truth: parochialism has no place in professional sport. Welsh rugby’s misplaced loyalty to outdated rivalries and fractured regional allegiances has stifled its potential. The regions were supposed to unify and elevate the professional game, but they have instead deepened divisions and alienated fans. Reestablishing three iconic clubs would not only restore pride and passion but also simplify the structure, making it easier to market and build support domestically and abroad. These clubs would act as the standard-bearers for Welsh rugby, creating clear pathways from grassroots to the professional game. While the decision to move away from regions might be controversial, it could not perform worse than the status quo—and would finally bring clarity to the professional landscape. I can hear the howls of indignation all the way here in NZ. To those people, strong leaders make changes when they are needed and since 2014, I have advocated change. Regions were right in 2003, they were the reasons for sustained success but that has not been the case since the incredible mismanagement of WRU financials by 2 former CEO’s. #NoGutsNoGlory

1830Squash has its origins in the older game of rackets, which was played in London's prisons in the 19th century. Later, around 1830, boys at Harrow School noticed that a punctured ball, which "squashed" on impact with the wall, offered more variety to the game. The game spread to other schools. https://lnkd.in/dapUgscG.
