Nicke Kabamba also scored as the hosts secured a victory that saw them end their inaugural EFL campaign in 11th place It took 25 minutes for the game to spring into life and it was no surprise that Cheek provided the telling moment Kabamba was fouled in the area and Cheek smashed the resultant penalty beyond Joe Day Kabamba poked home just before the interval following a goalmouth scramble from a corner to make it 2-0 Liam Dulson tested the palms of Grant Smith after the restart as the Robins briefly threatened but hope was extinguished when Cheek turned home Cameron Congreve's cross for his 25th goal of the season Ethon Archer did hit the post for the visitors but that was as good as it got for them as Bromley closed out the game with little fuss To load Comments you need to enable JavaScript in your browser The BBC is not responsible for any changes that may be made Williams at 60 minutesSubstitutesNumber 41 Williams Match OfficialsReferee: Stephen ParkinsonAssistant Referee 1: Damith BandaraAssistant Referee 2: Daniel BonneywellFourth Official: Ashley AllenMatch StatsKey Scroll LeftScroll RightBromley have failed to win any of their three competitive league games against Cheltenham Town drawing the reverse fixture this season 1-1 after losing both meetings during the 2015-16 National League campaign Cheltenham Town have won just one of their last seven Football League games against newly promoted opposition (D2 L4) failing to score more than one goal in any of those matches Bromley have won five of their last eight home league games (D1 L2) keeping a clean sheet in each of those victories Cheltenham have won their final fixture of a Football League campaign just once in the last 10 seasons (D4 L5) a 4-1 victory over Harrogate Town in May 2021 Ethon Archer (Cheltenham Town) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul Nathan Paul-Lavaly (Bromley) wins a free kick in the defensive half Ethon Archer (Cheltenham Town) right footed shot from outside the box is just a bit too high Saul Kader (Bromley) wins a free kick in the defensive half Foul by Arkell Jude-Boyd (Cheltenham Town) Sam Stubbs (Cheltenham Town) wins a free kick in the defensive half Fourth official has announced 5 minutes of added time Saul Kader (Bromley) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul Delay in match because of an injury George Miller (Cheltenham Town) Darragh Power (Cheltenham Town) wins a free kick in the defensive half Omar Sowunmi (Bromley) wins a free kick in the defensive half Bromley hosted Cheltenham Town at a sunny CopperJax community stadium this Saturday for the last instalment of the Sky Bet League two season and both sides boasted recent unbeaten streaks with Bromley unbeaten in their last three and the visitors unbeaten in their last four A brace from Michael Cheek and a goal from Nicke Kabamba saw the Ravens beat Cheltenham for the first time in their four meetings Chances were few and far between for either side in the opening five minutes – Corey Whitely’s long range effort in the eighth minute looked destined for the back of the net but a deflection changed the trajectory of the effort Bromley had the chance to edge ahead 24 minutes in – Kabamba’s movement in the penalty area proved too much for the Cheltenham defenders to handle providing Cheek the chance to net from the spot The prolific bagsman certainly didn’t need to be asked twice and he lashed past Day between the sticks to put his side 1-0 up Electric footwork from Danny Imray down the right hand side saw the Crystal Palace loanee win a free kick just outside the eighteen yard box but the ball was met by the head of Sam Stubbs to clear the danger for Cheltenham One became two for the Ravens on the stroke of half time – chaos in the Cheltenham six yard box looked to be leading to nothing and the number 26 prodded home from point-blank range for his second goal in as many games after scoring his first Bromley goal against Barrow last weekend Ben Thompson kickstarted the second 45 minutes and Liam Dulson had the first chance of the half seconds in when he struck powerfully from range;

So comfortable house for this cute little house without a single power point in the kitchen It is not the first house that we have owned Not like the first place I lived – London – where there were bombs dropping around me in World War II Or our family flat over a used-furniture shop in Cairo or a tin cottage in Eritrea where we kids found live bullets underneath Cheltenham was not named after the UK town famous for its racecourse which was a popular stopover on the way to the Mornington Peninsula and the name of the surrounding area took off from there Where else in Melbourne is there a suburb named after a pub We are 18 kilometres from the city and are under two councils – Bayside and Kingston Cheltenham Park is the highest point in the Bayside Council area we are not snobs but we do look down on Black Rock About 20 per cent of my suburb is parkland and there are two cemeteries About 10 per cent is factories and the rest is mostly residential It has three golf courses and two more on the edge of its west and east borders and it’s historical – we even have a cobbled laneway Many people would ask “why Cheltenham?” Granted Since the Mornington Peninsula Freeway link was opened just over a decade ago which runs through the heart of Cheltenham Huge 32-wheel trucks now use this narrow road so they do not bring down the rail bridge over Bay Road Let us not mention the high-rise buildings to go up in the near future as part of the development plans for Cheltenham to accommodate about 52,200 residents in the longer term (which would make it one of Australia’s most populous suburbs) We currently have several high-rises and one 10-storey Then, of course, there are those home owners who knock down a classic old house to build a “castle” There are rebuilds going on in most streets I used to quite like my view of the Dandenong Ranges before it was built out I wish I had walked around and taken photographs for posterity as I did of the interior of our house We thank that the rail line went under when the level crossing was removed in 2020 but we lost a piece of our history when the century-old station buildings were dismantled those station pieces will be put back together again at some point by the Mornington Railway Preservation Society But there are so many other things to like and in a few years the Suburban Rail Loop will bring a third the tram-less road in nearby Beaumaris named Tramway Parade Charman Road and Station Road shops have more than 20 places to dine plus several that supply takeaway meals as well as a small supermarket and other shops But all this is dwarfed by Southland (or Fountain Lakes Southland might well be the feature that outsiders best know Cheltenham for is one of the largest shopping centres in Australia it announced it would extend ostentatiously over the top of eight lanes of the Nepean Highway and onto the former Joseph Lucas motor industry parts factory TV’s Kath and Kim shopping at Fountain Lakes About half of Cheltenham Park is made up of wooded areas and it has plenty of space to walk your dog off lead as well as two ovals that are popular for junior cricket and soccer training The main sports ground is the Jack Barker Oval which is home to Cheltenham Cricket Club and Cheltenham Football Club The cricket club is one of Australia’s oldest sporting clubs founded in 1872 The football club (nicknamed the Rosellas) was founded a little later in 1891 It started teaching in 1855 and is the fifth oldest school in Victoria was appointed as assistant to the first secretary general of the United Nations following the conclusion of World War II Real estate agents sometimes get a bad rap but I would love to thank the one who introduced us to Cheltenham Colin Hill is a long-time resident of Cheltenham Southland’s expansion across the Nepean Hwy was announced in 1991 to somewhere in Melbourne\\u2019s south-east that was close to the bay Nor could we resist the local area \\u2013 Pennydale \\u2013 a section of Cheltenham that is west of the Nepean Highway (Across the Nepean there\\u2019s another section of Cheltenham that residents call The Golden Triangle.)

information online webinars so you can listen to the project team and structure planning specialists about what the proposed changes might mean for you Lady Nade’s crowd-pleasing tribute to Nina Simone is achieving an unprecedented level of success for a resolutely independent artist a success which you can only feel is as deserved as it is convincing Since Lady Nade’s Cheltenham debut six years ago she had released three albums of acoustic guitar indie-folk-americana soul with collaborations including a “Tribute to the Blues Dames” which set the scene for “Lady Nade Sings Nina Simone” originally devised four years ago for Nina Simone’s ‘90th anniversary’ drums and handclaps from her band members with “Be My Husband” showcased the power of Lady Nade’s voice so similar to Nina Simone’s as to pass for tribute but you can hear with certain extemporisations and phrasing that she’s approaching the songs as you would any songs you wanted to bring the best of yourself to There are lots of jokes about her Bristolian accent not so much as to warrant retitling songs like “Why Keep On Breakin’ Me ‘Eart?” but why not The balancing act between the Nina and the Nade is finely judged and immaculately executed such that you can abundantly see why it’s been so successful with this show being the first in another long UK tour The 90-minute set ticked off the big familiar numbers (“I Wish I Knew” I Got Life” (that one from the Muller advert) “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” and Feelin’ Good (that one by Muse)) As a vocalist and interpreter of the songs though “Love Me And Leave Me” was let down by the piano and “Chain Gang (The Work Song)” by the saxophone and where o where were the crucial chants of “POWER!” in “Sinnerman” There’s also a sense that Nade is convincing re-reading Nina but her talent is better represented by more multi-dimensional tone and register in the material The band is more confident on the pop crossover numbers a specialisation of Nina Simone’s and Lady Nade’s that brought pleasing readings of the dreamy pop ballad “Lilac Wine” and the soft ska of “Baltimore” which is a connoisseur’s cut written by Randy Newman I love that they can play all the big famous songs and then the less famous but highly regarded ones; it reassures you that they really dig the whole catalogue The Nina Simone catalogue is wildly varied describing “Take Care of Business” as “Filthy!” She tears into “Gin House Blues” (first recorded by Bessie Smith)’s injunctions to “Give me my gin!” with gusto Other under-represented themes are also brought to light by Lady Nade Self-described as “All round nutjob and good egg” she does a lot of music workshops in care homes with dementia patients and is open about Nina Simone’s mental health problems such as a re dwelt on in “What Happened to Miss Simone?” documentary The honesty of Nina Simone’s songs appeals to Lady Nade “She broke stigma talking about stuff that went against the grain- mental health and the reality of life.” The way Nina Simone added melancholy to Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’s bitter blues “I Put A Spell On You” is legendary an exemplar of her paradoxical union of vulnerability and power “This is what it would feel like getting a hug from Nina Simone,” she says Now” in that it takes itself so seriously that it can easily become hilarious There’s a Pedro Almodovar film which employs a muzak version with such laconic precision the song will probably never recover rather than the sense of fragility you need to emote to really lean into it to obliterate its potential pomposity It takes a heart of stone not to laugh at lyrics like this: “But his dog up and died/ Dog up and died/ And after twenty years he still grieves.” Dunkertons Tap Room is a tough room to engineer in a kind of permanent festival marquee enveloped by a loud cloud of cider drinkers I wondered if we were going to be able to hear anything at all My highest praise to Lady Nade might be that for the most part I found myself not hearing the noise any more only twice noticing I’d stopped noticing it Guitar: Holly CarterDrums: Matt Sockham Brown Bass: Riaan Vosloo (special guest)

three counts of ill-treatment of an animal were sentenced in the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court on the 22 November The 27-year-old woman and 47-year-old man were sentenced to six-month prison terms reduced by 30% because of their guilty pleas to four months and suspended on an 18-month good behaviour bond One of the other dogs – a nine-year-old male Staffordshire Terrier cross named Spike – was also emaciated Spike weighed 14.1 kilograms and had a body condition score of 2/9 was underweight and had a body condition score of 3/9 The dogs were found at the defendants’ Cheltenham property on 17 July 2023 by an RSPCA SA inspector responding to a cruelty report the inspector looked over a fence to the backyard and observed both Spike and Lily in poor condition The inspector returned to the property later that day accompanied by SA police officers and a locksmith Once again being unable to find anyone home the inspector (acting under a search warrant) entered the rear yard where he observed the dogs’ only source of shelter to be a small shed filled with clothes open wound on his head and a distended stomach Unable to locate the third dog in the yard the inspector gained access to the house with the assistance of the locksmith the inspector saw what he believed to be a deceased dog on a blanket on the floor the dog moved slightly as the inspector approached him the inspector feared the dog would not survive the journey to an emergency vet Woodstock and Spike required overnight care at the Small Animal Specialist Hospital (SASH) in Kent Town The examining RSPCA SA vet stated that both dogs were suffering significantly and would likely have died within hours to days without immediate hospitalisation In the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court today Magistrate Mark Semmens described the case as “the most serious dog matter I have seen in my 35 years as a Magistrate and a solicitor” you should not have them,” His Honour said but the suffering and pain must have been significant “This does not happen overnight… you should be deeply ashamed of this offending “The public conscious would be shocked were there any other sentence than imprisonment.” After being put on veterinary-supervised refeeding programs and spending many months in foster care all three dogs eventually recovered and were adopted by their foster carers the maximum penalty for animal cruelty is $20,000 or two years’ imprisonment the maximum penalty is $50,000 or four years’ imprisonment RSPCA South Australia is the state’s only animal welfare charity with inspectors empowered to prosecute animal cruelty under SA’s Animal Welfare Act Members of the public who witness animal cruelty or neglect are urged to immediately call RSPCA’s 24-hour cruelty report hotline on 1300 477 722 Cheltenham sold under the hammer on Saturday An extra $50 was all that was needed to secure a young couple’s new home in Cheltenham at its Saturday auction The two-bedroom townhouse at 1A Wallingford St was listed for $870,000-$920,000 and sold for $60,500 above the top end of its price range when it went under the hammer Ray White Bayside agent Trevor Bowen said the final three bids from the two

party followed by another 19 bids which rose in$50-$10,000 increments Mr Bowen said the couple pulled out of the auction twice all it took was an extra $50 to secure the Cheltenham digs He added that

The design is similar to the Princess of Wales' ring although Eugenie's is more rounded whereas Kate's has an oval deep-blue sapphire It also bears a striking resemblance to her mother's engagement ring actually designed the ring for his wife with his mother-in-law's jewellery in mind taking inspiration from the piece Prince Andrew used to propose to Sarah Ferguson in 1986 design and featured 10 stunning diamonds surrounding a large ruby Eugenie's ring wasn't the only eye-catching accessory at Cheltenham Andrew Parker Bowles and Queen Camilla arrived together for the world-famous festival remain good friends and often attend equestrian events together The Queen wore a long brown coat dress with fur-cuffed gloves and a pair of suede boots but there was a particular accessory that stole the show.. Queen Camilla arrived to the world-famous equestrian event decked out in jewels The royal wore a pair of pansy jewel brooches which diamond expert Maxwell Stone says comes with a hefty price tag "Queen Camilla has worn her set of jewelled pansy brooches on many occasions, both before and after her marriage to King Charles, as early as Christmas Day 2007," he told Hello! Made from 14k yellow gold and purple amethysts the brooches are rich in symbolism," Stone says have long been associated with remembrance adding a poignant touch to Queen Camilla's choice at Cheltenham Festival – a beloved event of her late mother-in-law whose passion for horses and affection for the festival made it one of the highlights of her year," the expert explained "I'd estimate them to be worth £40,000 (approx Queen Camilla spent time in conversation with Lady Sarah Keswick during 'Style Wednesday' one of Queen Camilla's most trusted companions frequently accompanies the royal family to events Zara Tindall is no stranger to an equestrian event She has an established career as an equestrian and notably won a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympics in team eventing Zara famously carried the Olympic torch at Cheltenham Racecourse while riding her horse the royal arrived in a stunning display of chic tailoring Zara wore a pinstripe blazer jacket with a knitted turtleneck and a unique fascinator Zara and her cousin Princess Eugenie were photographed enjoying a chat with Natalie Pinkum The three ladies all wore various shades of maroon Queen Camilla spent time talking with Charlotte Giles the girlfriend of late jockey Michael O'Sullivan died in February after sustaining an injury from a deadly fall Camilla appeared to provide comfort to Giles as she continues to mourn Zara looked incredible in another ensemble She kept warm from the cold conditions in the 'Victoria' navy coat by British high-end outdoors brand Fairfax and Favor who described her Australian stylist Annie Miall as "amazing" was recently announced as an ambassador for the label..

"I think the jumping won it," Ferguson told BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra Winning here last year with two was fantastic and doing it again this year is fantastic Constitution Hill is back at the home of jumps racing with 20,000 expected there to see his Champion Hurdle trial The first two starts of Constitution Hill’s career were on a Saturday at Sandown Park, but he has not raced at the weekend in the south of the country since his second outing in January 2022 and around 20,000 racegoers are expected at Cheltenham to see Nicky Henderson’s unbeaten eight-year-old in the flesh. Read moreA run on Trials day did not seem to be Plan A for Constitution Hill after his long-awaited return to action in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton on Boxing Day but he took that race so well that Henderson saw no reason to keep him at home “He’s in great form and came out of Kempton much better than I expected,” the trainer said at Huntingdon on Thursday as Constitution Hill (3.00) is rated at least 27lb in front of his four opponents on Timeform’s figures and having been installed as the 1-10 favourite in the early betting on Thursday an SP of 1-11 or shorter on Saturday would see him become the shortest-priced favourite for any race at Cheltenham this century “I don’t think we’ll be slaying Goliath,” Harry Derham as everyone other than Constitution Hill is going to be trying to finish second.” Cheltenham 1.15: East India Dock posted an exceptional timefigure when pulling 18 lengths clear on the Old course here in November and should confirm his Triumph Hurdle credentials

Get it here. A major factory fire has sent a giant plume of black smoke across Melbourne\\u2019s south-east and further escalated a dispute about whether the age of Victoria\\u2019s firefighting fleet is jeopardising community safety. Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) said a caller to triple zero reported that lithium-ion batteries had caught alight at the Phoenix Technology Group factory in Cheltenham at 8.38am Thursday. FRV said two adjoining factories of the Chesterville Road business were razed, but the fire was contained to the property after a 2\\u00BD-hour fight. \\u201CAround 25 fire trucks \\u2013 including two ladder platforms and a teleboom \\u2013 along with 70 firefighters responded to the incident at its peak,\\u201D FRV said in a statement. FRV said the fire was brought under control about 2.30pm. The United Firefighters Union (UFU) said two tankers failed during the emergency response, just one day after the union in a dramatic escalation of its dispute with the Allan government. However, FRV assistant chief fire officer Barry Gray told 3AW the two breakdowns were \\u201Cnot a problem at all\\u201D in tackling the Cheltenham fire as reinforcements soon arrived. \\u201CThey were able to position themselves and set up an attack plan, supported by CFA. So [there were] more than adequate resources on it,\\u201D Gray told radio station 3AW. UFU secretary Peter Marshall said the breakdowns showed the state government needed to heed the union\\u2019s long-running concerns about the unreliability of Victoria\\u2019s firefighting fleet. \\u201CThis morning\\u2019s pumper tanker failures confirm that we are well and truly in the thick of a state of emergency,\\u201D Marshall said. \\u201CThe failure of the 19-year-old pumper tanker rendered the aerial teleboom unable to do its job to protect the fire from spreading for 10 minutes, and the result could have been catastrophic. \\u201CThis was a serious fourth alarm incident, with the factory housing lithium batteries, and the fact that equipment deployed was faulty and not able to perform is a disgrace.\\u201D The union says 42 per cent of FRV trucks are past their 15-year use-by date and claims more than 530 truck faults were recorded over the past 18 months. In a statement, FRV said an inaccessible laneway and concerns of a partial structural collapse also hindered the initial response to Thursday\\u2019s fire. Residents of Cheltenham, Highett, Moorabbin and Moorabbin East were warned about the smoke in an updated advice message at 12.16pm. However, it said there was no threat to the community and the fire had been contained. FRV said the razed Cheltenham factories contained an array of items, including solar panels and lithium-ion batteries. Those inside the factory had already evacuated once firefighters arrived. \\u201CSurrounding businesses are likely to remain closed for the day due to danger of smoke, depending on proximity,\\u201D the agency said. The Environment Protection Authority said it was called to the fire to provide technical assistance. \\u201CConcerns include smoke and possible firewater run-off,\\u201D the EPA said on social media. About 3pm on Thursday, FRV said Keys Road was expected to be opened shortly, while a section of Chesterville Road would remain closed. Firefighting will remain at the scene overnight. Separately, an updated emergency warning was issued for a bushfire on the western edge of the Grampians shortly after midday Thursday. Residents of Mooralla and Woohlpooer have been told to leave immediately as the fire \\u2013 about 18 kilometres north-east of Cavendish near Rocklands Reservoir \\u2013 threatens farmland. \\u201CThere was a significant increase in fire activity overnight that caused the fire to spread in multiple directions,\\u201D the alert said. \\u201CThe fire activity has temporarily subsided but is still expected to impact private land on the western edge at various points between Hoffmans Road and Billywing Road.\\u201D The regional hub of Horsham was also included in an updated community information notice that warned residents to limit smoke exposure as the nearby Grampians and Little Desert fires continued to burn. The latter blaze \\u2013 which \\u2013 has now grown to almost 70,000 hectares, State Control Centre spokesperson Reegan Key said on Thursday morning. \\u201CCrews worked really hard overnight on the southern edge, but there\\u2019s still movement on the northern side of that fire, up towards Dimboola and the Western Highway,\\u201D Key said. Community meetings were scheduled for Halls Gap and Cavendish on Thursday, with warmer temperatures forecast for the weekend.
