Bedford and London Scottish are two teams known for their brand of rugby and liking to entertain the crowds spring’s day fireworks were expected With Bedford flying high coming off the back of beating Ealing the week before and a massive victory over Nottingham prior to that And so it proved with Bedford flying out of the blocks throwing the ball around and scoring three early tries in the opening 15 minutes it would be London Scottish’s up front power that would get them back into the game two tries off the back of the maul from Austin Wallis took his side back into contention before the two teams traded scores before the break After the break the tit for tat nature of the game continued with attack’s firmly on top and both defences struggling to gain any foothold just after the break sparked hopes of a come back but Bedford were always able to cause trouble when they had ball in hand A last minute pearler of a score from Tom Wilstead who picked up the final pass from a beautiful break from Josh Bellamy was the try of the day as the final score finished 61-38 An incredibly entertaining game and one where London Scottish will rue the opening quarter of an hour which put them too far behind to mount a serious challenge Efforts now turn to a massive three weeks as Scottish take on Cambridge a chance to climb the table perhaps but those three sides will be looking to do a number on the Exiles so it will be an incredibly entertaining few weeks SubscrIbe for the latest news and offers direct to your inbox For best viewing experience of this website Please enter a place

World Snooker Championship final today TV channel and live stream for Zhao Xintong vs Mark Williams Andrew Bobbin enjoyed the spotlight of training Duke Of Bedford to win the Brierly Steeplechase and Grand Annual Steeplechase double at Warrnambool last week that he’s already planning on repeating the dose next year Bobbin decided to stay in Warrnambool on Thursday night and celebrate his dashing fencer’s success and was only finding his voice again on Sunday morning “I had a good night on Thursday night so it was worthy of a celebration,” Bobbin said The Grampians Racing trainer has been doing his homework since Duke Of Bedford’s amazing Grand Annual performance and has come to the conclusion that he will be best served by going for a spell “I came back on Friday and had the horse checked out and he recovered well He’s going to have a break,” Bobbin said He pointed out that the last horse to win the Grand Annual and the Grand National Steeplechase double in the same year was in 2008 “The Grand National is the obvious target but it’s likely we will give that a miss and set him to do the same next year at Warrnambool,” he said “He’ll have a break as he’s only six-years-old I’ve done some research on the last 15 Grand Annual winners and the average age of the winners is eight and a half.” “With him being only six he could only be half-way through his career if we look after him and we can work towards Warrnambool in 12 months’ time.” Bobbin said Duke Of Bedford would bypass the Jericho Cup as his main asset was the ground he made up in the air when he jumped Of the 33 fences in the Grand Annual it was only the first one he put in an average one “We will follow the path we took this year and hopefully can do the Brierly and Grand Annual double again.” Bobbin said Warrnambool carnival aficionados told him that Duke Of Bedford’s wins were reminiscent of the John Wheeler trained Foxboy in 1997 who led throughout to win the Brierly by six lengths and then the Grand Annual by 20 lengths “I had multiple conversations with people I respect and that’s what they said and they told me winning like that doesn’t happen often at all They went back to Foxboy for the comparison.” Bobbin said he was a bit nervous at the winning post the second time when Duke Of Bedford had cleared out from his rivals but that’s when Arron Lynch put the race to bed “When he went up the hill the first time but Lynchy said he never asked him for an effort and he was doing it naturally and within himself.” Bobbin said he hoped Duke Of Bedford’s win could pique the interest of some new owners for the stable who could entrust him with younger well-bred horses “We’ve been training for four and a half years and we’ve trained 160 winners with mostly average stock from the second-hand sales We’ve proved we can train winners with the best strike-rate with the jumpers,” he said “We have the facilities for sprinters and stayers as we can keep them sound which is the biggest challenge in the game We can get them fit on the sand tracks here without so much concussion and we can use the Stawell racetrack just up the road where I can gallop up the road on the grass.” “Last week was the highlight of my career Duke Of Bedford is only in his third season and he’s proven he’s as good as there is at that discipline there’s more to come from him.” This is probably not the page you’re looking for Graham and Helen-Gaye Bax didn’t set out to breed a Brierly Steeplechase (3450m) winner with Blandford Lodge homebred Duke Of Bedford taking out the Warrnambool feature on Tuesday who ran fifth,” Blandford Lodge principal Graham Bax said “He (Duke Of Bedford) is a neat little jumper and he is going along well so he has got a bright future in front of him “If he runs tomorrow (in the Grand Annual Steeplechase While pleased to see his homebred victorious on Tuesday Bax is still perplexed how a steeplechaser has been produced from the family so how we got a steeplechaser out of that I don’t know but you never know when breeding horses where it’s all going to end up,” he said Duke Of Bedford is out of winning Fastnet Rock mare Miralago a half-sister to the dam of Group One winner Danzdanzdance Bax has been breeding from the family for several decades and he has enjoyed plenty of success during that time “I have had that family for years and it goes way back to an English mare called Polly Soleil that I bought more than 30 years ago,” he said “I have bred a lot of good mares out of that family including (multiple Group One winner) Lucia Valentina there’s a lot of good horses from that family “It is a super family that has been performing for Blandford Lodge for a long time we have another horse out of the family running today (Wednesday) at Canterbury called Ahuriri Bax offered Duke Of Bedford at Inglis’ 2020 Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale where he was purchased by STC Syndications for A$45,000 He went on to win one race for Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young before he transferred to Andrew Bobbin’s Stawell barn for whom he has added another six victories to his tally culminating in his Brierly Steeplechase triumph “I love setting goals with races and working backwards and hitting the target and this was one today,” Bobbin said post-race Bobbin said he will wait until Thursday morning before deciding whether his six-year-old gelding backs up in the Grand Annual Steeplechase “We’ll just see how that field holds up and at about 7:28am Thursday morning I’ll probably still be scratching my head NEW BEDFORD — Travelers using the Seastreak ferry service in New Bedford now have a new place to park their cars when they're readying to head out to sea "We moved our parking about a week ago," said a New Bedford Seastreak customer service representative, noting the company had been told they would have to make way for riders of the MBTA's new South Coast Rail service at the Whale's Tooth parking lot at 532 Acushnet Ave This news comes despite information released and reported in March that said the Port Authority would designate 150 spaces for MBTA passengers and 570 would remain for ferry parking Seastreak operates ferries to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket While it is something new for Seastreak customers to get used to, the customer service representative said the new parking — located at the Foss Marine Terminal at 180 McArthur Drive — is actually closer to the ferry dock than the Whale's Tooth lot but it's only a five-minute walk," she said Legal trouble: 3,700 cases could be at stake as New Bedford judge, prosecutor alleged to have had affair With the move to the Foss Terminal also came the launch of Seastreak's new method of paying for parking. Instead of paying for a spot online while making a ride reservation, Seastreak customer service said now customers pay upon arrival by scanning one of the QR codes in the parking lot, or at the terminal. "It's very easy — you just follow the instructions on the signs," she said. In cases where there is parking overflow, she said, Seastreak customers may still be able to park at the Whale's Tooth lot; however, the fee will not be Seastreak's.

Bedford Art Exhibition set to take off at Adelaide Airport, Mount Gambier artists on show
 Fifteen artists from Bedford’s Mount Gambier Learning and Experience Hub have created artwork for an exhibition now on show at Adelaide Airport.
 Airline travellers from regional areas, together with thousands of interstate and overseas travellers will view “Through My Eyes – 80 Years of Opportunities”, with artworks located at Gates 14 and 26 of the airport.
 The exhibition, which runs until the end of March, showcases the work of more than 30 artists with disability who attend one of seven Bedford Learning and Experiences hubs or work at a Bedford business.
 Using a variety of creative techniques, the artists have reflected on what Bedford means to them, expressing the impact of having support and a choice to learn, connect and grow in their everyday life.
 It’s the first of many events celebrating 80 years of Bedford in South Australia.
 Bedford chief executive Myron Mann said the exhibition has created an important sense of connection and frien
 dship, bringing together people from metropolitan Adelaide and regional South Australia through a shared love of art.
 “Through artistic expression, artists have demonstrated their commitment to turning ambition into action, obstacles into opportunities and barriers into breakthroughs,” Mr Mann said.
 “The exhibition acknowledges Bedford’s rich history and impact, and amplifies its purpose today, and bold vision for the future.
 “We’re thrilled to kick off our 80-year celebrations with this art exhibition, which is one of many examples of how Bedford continues to innovate and spearhead major sector change, offering choice and opportunity to build skills and connection for people living with disability.”
 Local artists from the Mount Gambier Learning and Experiences hub came together to create a piece titled ‘Where we all come together’.
 Artist and Learning Hub client Shaun said he enjoyed the opportunity to create the artworks.
 “It was really good to work together as a team to complete the art,” he said.
 “The art helped me express that Bedford is the coolest and perfect place to come together.”
 Adelaide Airport Managing Director Brenton Cox welcomed the collaboration.
 “Bedford is such a wonderful and iconic organisation supporting South Australians with disabilities for so many years, and we were excited to offer space in our main terminal for this fantastic exhibition,” he said.
 “The timing is also perfect as we both celebrate significant milestones with Bedford reaching 80 years and Adelaide Airport marking 70 years of operation in 2025.”
 Bedford’s seven Learning and Experiences hubs are located at Panorama and Torrensville in Adelaide, and in Port Lincoln, Port Pirie, Whyalla, Wallaroo and Mount Gambier.
 The hubs support more than 400 people living with disability to live the life they choose by offering opportunities to expand knowledge, develop new skills, and connect with others in enjoyable and meaningful ways.
