Sunderland 0 - 0 Swansea


Danny Graham missed the chance to sign off his Swansea career with a goal against the team he is set to join. 
Defender Titus Bramble blocked a shot from Graham, Black Cats' boss Martin O'Neill's prime target for what remains of the winter transfer window, in the third minute of stoppage time to rescue a point.
The 27-year-old had been booed by sections of the home fans as he was introduced as a 74th-minute replacement for Leon Britton, but his reception as he left the pitch might have been even more virulent had Bramble not intervened.

Crusaders


North Wales Crusaders have strengthened their squad for 2013 by signing the experienced Gary Middlehurst from Rochdale Hornets.

The 28-year old second row or loose forward brings plenty of experience to the Racecourse will add strength to the Crusaders’ forward pack.

Widnes born, he started in the Academy with his home club and had spells with local sides Halton Simms Cross and Leigh East before moving to Rochdale two years ago.

While at Leigh, he toured South Africa with the Great Britain Community Lions.

“It’s a new chapter for me,” said Middlehurst. “Quite a few of my friends play for North Wales Crusaders. They’re an up and coming team and that league and I really think that we’re going to win it. With the players there and the quality of the coaching, we’ll be a strong team next year.

“I want to win honours but I also want to help this new club. I’ve known Clive Griffiths all my life and I’m good friends with John Fieldhouse too who I’ve worked under before. They’re both brilliant coaches so I’ll better myself working with them. I’m looking forward to it.”

Griffiths said: “Gary was one of the stand-out players in Championship 1 last season. I’ve watched Gary’s career for years. He’s a quality player and was unlucky not to be in last year’s Dream Team.

“We’re delighted to have him on board. We lost Anthony Morrison who’s gone abroad to play in Australia and who better to come in and take his place. His signing will add to our pack, he’s a very solid all-round player who can win a game and break it up with his attacking ability.”

Rugby League


England made an impressive start to their Autumn Series tournament with an 80-12 victory over Wales in Wrexham, Josh Charnley scoring four tries.
Steve McNamara's side led from start to finish, the tournament favourites outscoring their opponents by 14 tries to two with Kevin Sinfieldadding 12 conversions.
The visitors were denied an early try when Gareth Ellis' pass to Kallum Watkins was deemed forward, although they opened the scoring in the 10th minute when winger Ryan Hall dived over from Richie Myler's long pass.
Fellow winger Charnley doubled England's tally when he was found by Rhinos centre Watkins to score in the corner untouched. Surprisingly Sinfield, who was perfect with the boot in the Super League play-offs for Leeds, missed his second conversion.
Zak Hardaker, on debut, scored England's third try after a fine break from Sean O'Loughlin before Watkins got the England's fourth.
Hardaker scored a brilliant solo try for his second of the game from 40 metres out, but Wales had the final say before half-time with Christian Roets touching down, Matt Seamark making no mistake with the conversion.
Normal service seemed to be resumed after the break with Hall getting his second of the game, but Wales responded with a try of their own when Dan Fleming went in under the posts after a knock-on from Adrian Morley.
However, that was as good as it got for Wales with further tries from Ellis, Charnley and substitute Rob Burrow, all of which were converted by Sinfield, putting England 50-12 to the good.
Charnley made it a debut to remember when he helped himself to two more tries, while Leroy Cudjoe and Jamie Jones-Buchanan also touched down to make sure a rampant England finished in the ascendency.

Walking


Group walking
Every week Ramblers volunteers organise hundreds of group walks all over Britain, ranging from short local strolls to bracing hillside hikes. Most walks are designed for Ramblers members, but non-members are welcome to a try out a few walks for free before joining. Walks which are part of our national walking festivals are also free to non-members.
Details of most of our walks are listed online in our Group Walks Finder where you can search by location or postcode using our text-based search or interactive map.
You can refine your search by adding extra criteria such as the date(s) you’re looking to go walking, your ability level, the day of the week walks take place (e.g. just Sundays), the desired distance walks cover and which group’s walks you want to join.
You can also choose to show only:
  • Shorter walks (Walk4Life or Active Nation walks of 8km/5 miles or less)
  • Car-free walks
  • Walks suitable for people with children
  • Dog-friendly walks
  • Walks suitable for buggies and wheelchairs
  • Walks run by 20s-30s groups
  • Walks which are part of Ramblers national walking festivals
Many Ramblers groups also produce printed programmes and upload details of their walks on their websites so if you can’t find a walk near you online, it’s worth getting in touch with the local group in the destination you plan on walking to see if there are any further walks on offer.
