Day one of the Division 2 4-Day Domestic Series final between the ACDC Express Tuskers and the Northern Cape Heat was heavily influenced by weather as the visiting side finished the day on 132-4 at the AET Pietermaritzburg Oval on Wednesday Tuskers won the toss and chose to bowl first under gloomy skies in Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday morning The decision to bowl first paid off for the home team almost immediately when Mbulelo Budaza picked up the wicket of Modiri Litheko for 10 with the total on 27 It was a fruitful period for the Tuskers who picked up wickets regularly with the second wicket falling with the total on 42 when Ronan Hermann was caught by Ntando Zuma off the bowling of Marcelo Piedt for nine Twenty-eight runs later the Tuskers had their third wicket when Cole Abrahams was caught by Sean Gilson for 12 off the bowling of Ziyaad Abrahams Tuskers then restricted the Heat to 83-4 when CP Klijnhans was bowled by spinner Sean Gilson for eight Heat opener Ernest Kemm held the fort for the visiting team as he went to a patient half century while his partner Abel Mokwena helped him rebuild the innings The pair took the Heat to 132-4 before the teams were forced from the field due to bad light after 54 overs that is how the day would end as stumps was called early due to bad light Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so we can deliver you the best experience possible while you are here The San Diego Gulls will open their final extended homestand of the 2024-25 American Hockey League season tonight against the San Jose Barracuda (7 p.m PDT; TV: AHLTV on FloHockey; Radio: Gulls Audio Network).   The Gulls will continue their playoff push on home ice in what could prove to be a make-or-break week as they still sit seven points back from the final postseason spot in the Pacific Divion thanks to some favorable results from around the league.  [there were] 30 games left," head coach Matt McIlvane said "Every game’s the biggest and nothings changing buts it’s the way that it is in the playoffs and the way that it is when you’re fighting for your playoff life is that the next game’s always the biggest."

high among seasoned contestants of the Tobago International Cycling Classic (TICC) This comes after race chairman Jeffrey Charles revealed there were no immediate plans by the organising committee to cancel the event just yet even though TT’s borders remain closed Charles’ announcement also revealed the annual road cycling event has been pushed back an additional two weeks (October 19-26) from its original start date (September 29-October 4) to facilitate the possibility of the borders reopening This was also done to serve as a buffer for Government’s mandatory 14-day quarantine in TT to prevent the possible spread of coronavirus the cycling promoter revealed he remains in close contact with the event’s main stakeholders and cyclists who have assured their commitment to sponsoring and participating at the 2020 TICC “All are still very keen for the event to take place The TICC management will assess the situation by (the) end of August and on the advice of the TT Government Let’s hope most of the covid19 spread and restrictions will ease up significantly by then,” posted Charles veteran road cyclist and Tobagonian Emile Abraham has crossed his fingers in the hope the event comes to fruition Although the experienced road racer is presently based in the US – the current hotbed for covid19 cases – time serves as the inevitable factor towards another TICC hosting He also believes the inability to host the Classic this year will place additional strain on the sister-isle since the annual road race is one of Tobago’s major platforms for sports tourism “We are still optimistic on the TICC the global pandemic situation is not getting better here in the USA I think it would not be good for our local sponsors as this is the main event for exposure in the calendar year,” he said Canadian pro cyclist and avid TICC participant Trevor Connor also remains positive-minded and lauded Charles and the TT Government for their authoritative handling of the health crisis locally Glad Jeffrey Charles and the TT government are trying to make this happen but being responsible about it Couldn’t imagine not going down to Tobago this fall for my favourite race!” Prior to confirming this year’s hosting of the Caribbean Premier League T20 Tournament the Government and tourney organisers underwent several weeks of detailed discussions to ensure proper measures were put in place to facilitate the arrival of regional and international athletes THERE ARE no plans yet to cancel the Tobago International Cycling Classic (TICC) according to the event’s chairman Jeffrey Charles “We have no immediate plans to cancel the Tobago International Cycling 2020 event.” which was originally carded from September 29 to October 4 Considered the biggest annual international sporting event in Tobago “We are in contact with most of the (event’s) main stakeholders including sponsors; race providers; local All are still very keen for the event to take place “The TICC management will access the situation by (the) end of August and on the advice of the TT Government’s health and security state agencies Copyright © Japan International Cooperation Agency The Sandiganbayan Sixth Divion has affirmed the graft conviction of former Panglao mayor Leonila Montero for hiring four losing candidates as job-order employees of the municipality as a supposed loophole to the one-year appointment ban on unsuccessful electoral bets the anti-graft court found no merit in Montero’s motion for reconsideration filed on November 7 2022 to reverse her conviction on four counts of graft “Montero failed to persuade the Court that it erred in appreciating the facts and applying the law to the evidence presented Montero’s criminal intention to circumvent the constitutional and statutory provisions prohibiting the appointment of losing candidates were proven by the evidence presented by both the Prosecution and Defense,” the Sandiganbayan said in its 10-page resolution Montero was sentenced to 24 years imprisonment after the Sandiganbayan found her guilty of four counts of violating Section 3(e) of Republic Act 3019 otherwise known as the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act The anti-graft court meted out a penalty of imprisonment of six years and one month as minimum and up to 10 years as maximum for each count of the four graft convictions Montero was directed to pay the Panglao local government unit (LGU) P1.3 million to account for the salaries and benefits paid to the four job-order personnel The court also maintained a hold departure order earlier issued against the former chief executive Montero’s conviction for violating RA 3019 stemmed from her attempt to “circumvent” the one-year appointment ban by hiring candidates who lost in the immediate previous elections as job-order personnel in 2013 Montero hired Noel Hormachuelos as municipal administrator Danilo Reyes as public information officer Fudulan as Public Employment Service Office coordinator and Penales as consultant on infrastructure and engineering services except Hormachuelos who was Montero’s running mate vied for seats in the town’s Sangguniang Bayan during the elections of the same year In the same decision promulgated last year the Sandiganbayan acquitted Montero of charges against her for violating Article 244 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC) which defines and penalizes unlawful appointments for lack of one of the four requisite elements of the felony The said RPC provision’s required elements are the following: the offender was a public officer; the accused nominated or appointed a person to a public office; such person did not have the legal qualifications; and the offender knew that his nominee or appointee did not have the legal qualifications at the time he made the nomination or appointment Since Montero hired the four losing candidates as job-order employees instead of appointing them her act did not meet the second element for the violation of Article 244 As stipulated in Section 94 of RA 7160 or the Local Government Code no candidate who lost in any election shall be appointed to any office in the government within one year after the immediate previous polls Montero argued that her act of hiring the four men as job-order personnel was valid She added that she consulted lawyers and based her decision on a Department of Interior and Local Government opinion which stated that hiring of losing candidates on a job-order basis is not prohibited by law the Sandiganbayan ruled that her claim was unsubstantiated and “self-serving at best.” “Montero had been an elected public officer since 2001 She has also obtained a Bachelor of Laws degree When she hired the four executive assistants Montero was conversant of the laws prescribing qualifications and disqualifications of public officers,” the court stated The Sandiganbayan noted that Montero was aware of the illegality of her actions as evidenced by the lack of contracts of service executed between the Municipality and the four executive assistants there was an admission by Hormachuelos that he did not sign any paper that he was receiving salaries from the Municipality until the period of appointment ban was over contrary to the Defense evidence that they were being required to submit accomplishment reports before receiving their salaries,” the court added Montero had also stated that she handpicked Hormachuelos and Penales as executive assistants due to their involvement in the deliberations and preparations for her programs for the municipality Montero is a businesswoman and a career politician who has held public office since 2001 She was initially believed to be eyeing a seat in the Provincial Board as her last term as mayor was set to expire in 2022 but she did not run for office She instead supported the mayoral candidacy of her daughter Aya Montero-Caindec Caindec and her running mate Brian Velasco

Division Match between the Inner West Magpies and the Pennant Hills Demons traditional Anzac Day rivals who have played each other on this day since 2014 Before the game began the large crowd at Picken had the honour of paying tribute via a moving Anzac ceremony hosted by the Canterbury-Hurlstone RSL Credit to all involved in organising the day most notably the Inner West Magpies footy club The match was physical and showcased two teams seeking deep finals runs in 2021 with the Demons on this occasion proving too strong and at times dominate across all lines The Magpies coming off an impressive opening two rounds of the season will head back to the drawing board with Coach Ben Klemke no doubt seeking an improved performance in Round 4 when the Magpies host the Eagles at Picken Oval Chris Yard and the Demons on the other hand would be buoyed by their performance which no doubt sets them right alongside North Shore Sydney University and UNSW-ES as the teams to beat in season 2021 As was anticipated all week the match commenced with Luke Jamieson Despite a slightly wayward bounce it was advantage Inner West who scrapped a kick forward off the boot of Callum McEvoy-Gray It ended up in the arms of Stephen ‘Stinger’ Wray who was unable to break the tackle of Brandon Lagana When Lagena calmly slotted the goal from 25 metres the Magpies had jumped the Demons and it was game on Pennant Hills responded quickly off the boot of the skillful and ever-elusive Chris Galvin before Theo Moraitis added his first To give the Demons some breathing room just before the break Tim Wales snuck up from the Backline and following a 50-metre penalty for a standing the mark infraction added the Demons third of the quarter At quarter time it was Inner West Magpies 1.1.7 to Pennant Hill Demons 3.3.21 The second quarter begun in opposition to the first with the Demons kicking a goal early via an impressive mark from Isaac Franks following some excellent tap work from Allison and a series of lightning handballs between the Demon midfielders before Chris Galvin found Franks via foot close to goal Just when it appeared the Demons may sneak away a free kick to McEvoy-Gray on the wing lead to deep forward entry and a chance for the dangerous Braydon Bux to enter the fray and after shaking off several tacklers snaped truly The teams then exchanged goals with Harry Maguire who’s overhead marking was outstanding all day kicked his first the end of the quarter belonged to Pennant Hills with the enormous pressure imposed by Jackson Potter Wilson Mudge and Thomas Edmonds leading to three late goals Inner West Magpies 3.1.19 to Pennant Hill Demons 8.7.55 During the half time break it was confirmed that Isaac Franks who had been stretchered off in the second quarter had sustained a serious lower leg injury and would take no further part we pass on our best and hope for a speedy recover for Isaac The toll of the game was being felt by many a player with Inner West playing coach Ben Klemke clearly hampered and several other players from both teams appearing sore After several missed chances the Magpies goaled following a long kick from Patrick Wilmott to Jock White who marked strongly the momentum from the White goal was short-lived with the Demons starting to gain control across the ground with Maine Vidler Luke Skrivanic and Connor Matthews all important Lucas Lam (a player to watch) along with McEvor-Gray showed plenty of courage The Demons once again finished the quarter strongly with Moraitis kicking his third and fourth goals in succession before Josh Robinson clawed one back late At the last break it was Inner West Magpies 5.6.36 to Pennant Hills Demons 11.10.76 The match was all but over early in the fourth Braydon Bux kicked his second and the Magpies had the margin back under 7 goals Despite the early push the Moraitis and Maguire show was about the kick into top gear with both player marking and kicking goals in grand style Moraitis would finish with five and Maguire with four it was a very convincing win for the Demons on ANZAC Day at Picken Oval A bright spot for the Magpies was the performance of Lam who dominated and continued to take the game on all day The Demons were very well led by Skipper Thomas Edmonds and in the end the Demons had too much fire power up forward for the Magpies to handle on this occasion
