the first time in their history Dungannon's Andrew Mitchell celebrates his side's goal with Steven Scott Photo by David Maginnis/Pacemaker Press Dungannon's James Knowles blocks a shot by Cliftonville's Joe Gormley Cliftonville manager Jim Magilton with Cliftonville players Joe Gormley and Rory Hale pictured along with Dungannon Swifts boss Rodney McAree and Dungannon players Andrew Mitchell and John McGovern Rodney McAree’s Dungannnon Swifts wrote their own little chapter in the history books by winning the Clearer Water Irish Cup for the first time in their history following a dramatic Final against Cliftonville at Windsor Park played out in front of a 12,766 frenzied crowd – goals flying tackles and a controversial sending off The teams couldn’t be separated after 120 minutes of unmissable action Transfer magnet John McGovern headed the Swifts into a first half lead – one they held until injury time when Shea Kearney levelled with a scorching drive The game’s big talking point arrived 21 minutes from time when Swifts defender Steven Scott was dismissed for a challenge he literally didn’t make Having soaked up relentless pressure when down to 10 men in extra time the Swifts managed to take the game to a penalty shootout – and the drama continued It was goalkeeper Declan Dunne who emerged the hero brilliantly saving spot kicks from Kearney and Luke Conlon Adam Glenny and Brandon Bermingham all netted expertly for Rodney McAree’s team Jonny Addis and Jack Keaney replaying for the Reds It was 10-man Dungannon’s day – and how they enjoyed it at the finish when they took hold of the coveted trophy They can now also look forward to appearing in European football next season fitting of the showpiece fixture of the season Dungannon manager Rodney McAree and goalkeeper Declan Dunne celebrate with the Cliftonville half of the ground disappearing under a cloud of red smoke from the many pyrotechnics that were ignited when the national anthem was blasted out over the tannoy system Cliftonville fans again showed their displeasure by booing throughout Referee Ian McNabb also arrived in the centre circle without the match ball The Reds had an early let-off when Alves’ corner kick was flicked on by Andrew Mitchell and Conlon almost turned the ball into his own net at the back post It was hardly surprising because the stakes were high Magilton’s team responded with a cleverly worked free kick after Steven Scott cynically hauled down Conlon Shea Gordon and Conlon combined to set up Ryan Curran But it was the blue end of the ground that erupted with that opening goal on 23 minutes The experienced James Knowles whipped in a corner from the left and McGovern got up above everyone else to power home a header although Reds’ goalkeeper David Odumosu hardly covered himself in glory For once the Red Army was stunned into silence although they were on the edge of their seats when Danny Wallace’s poor defence header was gobbled up by Ryan Curran and he managed to cut the ball back to Joe Gormley But it was the Swifts who almost nicked another goal just after the half hour Kealan Dillon send Alves into the left channel who hammered a right-footed drive just over the top As the half-time clock ticked down McAree’s team had another sniff at goal This time Odhran Casey clumsily clipped the free-running Adam Glenney just outside the box Knowles took on the free kick responsibility that had the big former Dundalk shot-stopper at full stretch It was the Swifts who roared from the traps after the restart Cliftonville Shea Kearney celebrates his equaliser with teammate Eric McWoods Dean Curry was only inches away from heading his team’s second goal when he met a Knowles corner kick the ball creeping wide with Odumosu scampering across his line Magilton’s patience finally snapped and he made a double change 10 minutes after the break introducing Alex Parsons and Axel Piesold for Curran and Gordon the Reds at last began to show some urgency at the other end Gormley managed to knock the ball across the box to Kearney The game erupted for all the wrong reasons when Scott was dismissed when Hale went down but the Dungannon man can certainly feel hard done by Magilton brought on Eric McWoods and wonder kid Ryan Corrigan in a bid to salvage the situation they were almost back in it eight minutes from time Hale pinged over a corner from the left that was met by Conlon whose header clipped the top of the crossbar The Reds piled forward and Piesold thought he had levelled on 90 minutes when his blockbuster from the edge of the box brought an unbelievable reaction save from Dunne Bigirimana’s clearance broke to Kearney 25-yards out and his bullet fizzed into the bottom corner much to the delight of the Cliftonville masses Dunne again came to the Swifts rescue in the fifth minute of extra time the big shot-stopper was at it again in the second period when Piersold’s cross was only half cleared by Curry to Hale whose piercing shot was brilliantly beaten out by Dunne McWoods thought he had won it for the Reds when he latched on to another Hale corner only to see his effort headed off the line by Bigirimana – incredible it was down to that dramatic penalty shootout – take a bow Mr Dunne Find out who comes out top of this afternoon’s game right here on our live blog: Holders of the Victoria Cross and George

This new variant marks the most significant update to the model since its launch in September 2024. The Windsor Pro will introduce a larger 52.9 kWh battery pack, offering a notable step up from the 38 kWh unit found in the current model. The MG Windsor Pro will be sold alongside the MG Windsor with the smaller battery pack While MG has not disclosed the ARAI-certified range for the larger battery it is expected to offer a considerable improvement over the 332 km figure achieved by the 38 kWh version The Windsor Pro will continue with a 134 bhp electric motor delivering 200 Nm of torque is squarely on improving driving range and feature content rather than performance the Windsor Pro will gain a few key upgrades that broaden its appeal These include the addition of an ADAS suite offering advanced driver assistance features and new vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging capabilities—technologies typically seen in more premium EVs MG has introduced a new set of alloy wheels and a dual-tone black and beige leatherette interior replacing the all-black theme found in the outgoing model.  The timing of the Windsor Pro’s launch appears strategic as MG looks to maintain the momentum of the Windsor brand the Windsor has become a standout performer for the company with 19,394 units sold in just seven months it has consistently outpaced its chief rival which had long dominated the mass-market EV space in India.  The expectation is for a modest price increase over the current ₹14–16 lakh (ex-showroom) range Given the added battery capacity and feature enhancements this could still represent strong value—provided the price hike remains within reason.  Triumph Scrambler 400X Gains New Colour Option MG Windsor EV Pro Launched In India At ₹17.50 Lakh Royal Enfield Scram 440 Deliveries Delayed Homegrown Evera Cabs Acquires 500 Repossessed BluSmart EVs MG M9 Electric Limousine Bookings Open; Launch Soon We promise the best car deals and earliest delivery TEMPLEGATE tackles Monday's racing confident of banging in several winners Got the job done nicely when winning on his turf comeback at Bath last time He looked a strong stayer over the 1m2f trip and should cope with this stiffer stamina test with Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle Been in fine form on the sand and got her head in front at Southwell last time A 2lb rise for that looks more than fair and she has another win in her for in-form trainer James Fanshawe Enjoyed stepping up to this trip when going close at Haydock nine days ago Quick ground suits and he’s back off the same mark Find our detailed guide on responsible gambling practices here Our journalists strive for accuracy but on occasion we make mistakes.

Liberal Irek Kusmierczyk is asking the courts for a recount in Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore after multiple tabulation errors and a high number of rejected ballots made an already painfully tight race almost too close to call Kusmierczyk told the Star his team applied for a judicial recount Monday morning after the discovery of 526 rejected ballots and more than 20 “discrepancies” — four of which changed the ballot count by 157 votes The 526 rejected ballots accounted for “one of the highest totals in the country,” he said “We had dozens of volunteers serving as scrutineers in polling stations across the region we know there were ballots that were wrongly counted and wrongly rejected,” said Kusmierczyk the riding’s Liberal member of Parliament since 2019 simply in how the results were communicated “It’s how the numbers were communicated to Elections Canada in Ottawa including four errors that had a material impact on the vote.” After a standard post-election validation of results last week the discovery of those four errors alone resulted in Conservative Kathy Borrelli’s lead in the April 28 federal election narrowing from 233 votes to 77 That’s only seven ballots short of the threshold for an automatic judicial recount Elections Canada’s preliminary results following Monday’s election had Borrelli at 31,901 votes and Kusmierczyk at 31,668 The official count for Borrelli is now 32,062 votes A judicial recount is automatically triggered when the difference between the two leading candidates is less than one one-thousandth of the total votes cast “We feel very strongly that we owe it to all residents to make sure that every vote was valid and that every valid vote was counted,” said Kusmierczyk “This is a process to make sure that we have 100 per cent confidence that residents have 100 per cent confidence in the outcome of this election.” Until the counts are confirmed in the validation of votes election results are considered preliminary The validated results are considered final unless changes are subsequently made following a judicial recount or a contested election proceeding Recounts are currently underway or expected in several other ridings across Canada including Terra Nova-The Peninsulas in Newfoundland where winning Liberal candidate eked past the Conservative runner-up with 12 votes The Montreal-area riding of Terrebonne flipped on Thursday after Elections Canada published validated results for the region that showed the Bloc Quebecois nudged out the Liberals by 44 votes the validation process ended with Liberals inching past the Conservatives by 29 votes Elections Canada told the Star last week that the validation of results is a safety measure to catch human error the local Elections Canada officer receives results from each polling location by phone before entering them into the system The agency said that staff could mishear a result that was called in or make a mistake entering the data Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore had 282 polls reporting Kusmierczyk said such mistakes were what led to the four “significant” errors that changed the vote by 157 ballots some of which Kusmierczyk feels were wrongly rejected Kusmierczyk said someone wrote an X in the circle next to his name then wrote a second X next to his name outside the circle the intent of the voter is clear,” he said The next step in Kusmierczyk’s application will be a judicial hearing His team must present evidence before a judge who will decide if a recount should proceed That hearing had yet to be scheduled Monday morning “I want to make this absolutely clear as well,” said Kusmierczyk unequivocally accept the results of the judicial recount.” twilhelm@postmedia.com The company released a teaser confirming ADAS features as it prepares to strengthen its flagship EV’s appeal amid growing competition The Level 2 ADAS package in the Windsor PRO will offer 12 core features and deliver feedback through audio, visual, and haptic alerts. Notable systems include Traffic Jam Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Departure Warning, which are typically found in higher-end segments. This move signals MG’s intent to make such features more accessible in the mass EV market, placing added emphasis on proactive safety rather than reactive intervention. Beyond safety, the Windsor PRO will also introduce utility-oriented technologies such as Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging. These systems allow the EV to supply power to external devices or even other electric vehicles, pushing its use beyond daily commuting into more flexible real-world applications.

Lady Helen Taylor and Lady Gabriella Windsor arrive for the Together at Christmas carol service Melanie Hamrick has hung up her ballet shoes, but she’s not standing still. Between raising her son with Mick Jagger and choreographing a Rolling Stones ballet, she’s written two racy novels. In Tatler’s October 2024 issue, Rachel Johnson met Melanie Kate, who was diagnosed with cancer in early 2024, said in a video introduction to the televised service: ‘This carol service is a heartfelt celebration of every one of you The process of planning the music for Catherine’s concert seems to have inspired a new project for Ella. A year after her husband’s death, she was named patron of the charity Restore the Music, which aims to support music departments in state schools It was not her first collaboration with the charity: some of the musicians who benefit from the work of Restore the Music performed at the royal carol service she had helped to organise ‘It will be such an honour to serve as patron of this exceptional charity.’ Music has always been a passion for the much-loved royal who has previously made her own forays into the world of jazz recording the royal released two Bossa Nova-inspired tracks – titled ‘Out of the Blue’ and ‘Bam Bam’ – under the name Ella Windsor in support of the Playing For Change Foundation but never imagined I would become involved with it like this – releasing my own songs.’ Lady Gabriella Windsor previously showcased her musical ability when she tied the knot to the late Thomas Kingston in 2019 Lady Gabriella’s friends and family would not have been surprised to learn that she has a virtuoso streak The royal serenaded guests with a song at her wedding reception in 2019 when she tied the knot with Kingston in front of Queen Elizabeth II and A-list stars like Anne Hathaway Reflecting on her performance to the outlet It was a day of so many nerve-racking moments that I thought This birthday could well be a difficult time for Lady Gabriella Windsor surrounded by the support of her family and buoyed by her dedication to causes close to her heart it seems that the royal will continue to embody the Princess of Wales’s sentiment that we are all each other’s light

underperforming schools and give all students access to technology and learning WAT deploys iPad to teachers and students — which school leaders say is helping to drive better academic results Many of Windsor’s teachers attribute this success to the use of iPad in formative assessment to pose questions about academic subjects and assess their students’ level of understanding teachers can see all of their students’ screens at once allowing them to monitor responses and understand immediately if they need to cover a previous topic again This also helps educators identify any students who may need additional time understanding a subject Video 2 of 2: Windsor schools use iPad to help with formative assessment in the classroom Apple Professional Learning offerings have also been instrumental in facilitating educator support and development Teachers across schools take advantage of the Apple Teacher programme to build their knowledge about how to best use iPad for education They are also encouraged to collaborate on lesson plans at regular professional learning sessions where they share best practices and resources with one another Some educators throughout Windsor are also Apple

Owner of Mi Casita Restaurant & Bar, 429 Wyandotte Street East, Santos Ortiz, says they are ready to offer patrons the full cultural experience.  "We've been through this 15 years now, so we're always fully aware, prepared and ready to try and give the best service possible," he said. "Everybody is trying to have a good time, so we've got all the margaritas ready, the mojitos ready, tequila's ready, and we usually have a DJ coming out." Ortiz says the restaurant will offer a special Cinco de Mayo menu. "Because we are so busy, we want to be able to get the food out in a timely order, and so we basically pick the favourites that we know that people generally love to order," he said. Ortiz says it will be walk-ins only for Cinco de Mayo on Monday. "We welcome everybody, it doesn't matter how big your party is," said Ortiz. "We also hope to have the patio open this year, looks like the weather might be able to help us out again. It's been open the last couple of years so we're able to cater to a much bigger public."

Dancers spun and drums pounded rhythmically as hundreds gathered Saturday to celebrate Indigenous heritage at the 4th annual Alumni and Student Pow Wow co-hosted by St Clair College and the University of Windsor “A powwow is a celebration of life,” arena director Jordan Williams White Eye told the Star “Our Indigenous communities go through so much every year: the alcoholism The colourful day-long celebration kicked off with the grand entry and then about three dozen traditional dancers clad in feathered regalia dancing clockwise around five drum circles at the St We want to let the world know that we are here The event drew participants from Indigenous communities across the region — some from as far away as the Toronto area — and included dancers as young as toddlers alongside elders you’ll see our children dancing,” said White Eye through residential schools and the Sixties Scoop We are going to teach our children that ceremony and these types of gatherings are who they are Clair

Maclagan Distribution and Supply Chain Policy Manager There are increased complexities associated with potential regulatory divergence between the UK and the EU when the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency takes over responsibility for UK-wide new drug approvals from January 2025 agreed between the UK and the EU in February 2023 is expected to be fully implemented on 1 January 2025 The agreement seeks to resolve some of the issues with the Northern Ireland Protocol identified by businesses and communities but the new framework does not entirely replace all the protocol’s provisions The new Labour government has continued progress towards implementation of the Windsor Framework Just before the summer parliamentary recess updates were made to the Human Medicines Regulations (HMR) legislation to enable the implementation of the framework The Windsor Framework ensures that the MHRA will be responsible for licensing innovative medicines in Northern Ireland (NI) as well as the rest of the UK pan-EU centralized marketing authorizations issued by the European Commission apply to NI These new provisions will only apply to medicines The Windsor Framework requires a reclassification of medicines supplied to the UK with a new two-category system being introduced under which some UK medicines will remain subject to certain EU regulations: While this reclassification is necessary for the government to comply with the requirements of the Windsor Framework agreement the ABPI believes it adds complexity and there may be other consequences as a result of regulatory divergence over time Where companies have large and diverse portfolios a two-category system might create a complex landscape as different products may be subject to different regulations it is currently unclear what future divergence between UK and EU regulations will look like and whether this will add even further complexity Both the MHRA and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) have stated that mechanisms will shortly be introduced that provide a forum for the UK and EU to discuss any issues of divergence in regulations further details on this are yet to be published Many of the changes brought about by the Windsor Framework do not apply to products already on the market in Great Britain (GB) and NI licensed medicines packed and released for distribution before 1 January 2025 can remain unchanged and in circulation until expiry medicines must be labelled "UK Only" to prevent the inadvertent flow of UK products from Northern Ireland to the EU A number of other changes to existing procedures that are intended to protect the integrity of the EU market will also go live in January including the removal of the requirement for packs released after 1 January 2025 to be uploaded to the European Medicines Verification System (EMVS) The ABPI and other trade associations successfully advocated for a number of flexibilities to be in place to support companies in managing this transition The MHRA continues its phased work of updating guidance materials with support from trade associations We know from conversations with ABPI members that they are progressing their obligations depending on the nature of their product portfolio and planned labelling notifications as well as engagements with the MHRA The ABPI continues to support member companies and encourages them to notify us of any issues or challenges How regulation can help to unlock the potential of preventative medicines Comparing new medicine availability across Europe The

Star Sports (licence number 009177) is licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission I used to love coming to Windsor on Monday nights with Dave Phillips there was competitive racing and good money flying about with the added bonus of cash wages after an expensive weekend We didn’t use to come to the first few though Dave’s reasoning that they started too early and people couldn’t come writes SIMON NOTT That 1990’s reasoning might still be true and the first race was very thin as far as bets went Kaan and Sophie betting number six on the rail only managed to take £640 with the biggest bet the last in the book £100 on the 4/1 jolly Valsharah The bogie was slowly away over the flying 6f and was never in it apart from staying on late to finish third at 10/3 none of them saw which way the 11/1 winner Distant Rumble went – and he won convincingly the book held just £534 despite a short one in 13/8 favourite Al Shababi despite there being a couple of lumpers in evidence I got talking to Mark from near Newmarket who likes to read the blogs celebrating Star Sports only doing £78 on a 13/8 into 5/4 stick on people who wanted to be had started to appear but the field money had passed the £1000 mark for the first time today Feature of the race was the weakness of Oisin Murphy’s Sea Founder it was unfounded and a bonus to BOG punters The book lost £867 which put the firm £400 behind ‘Decent slippage though’ was Kaan’s ever-optimistic summing up of the race Next up and the shortest market leader of the evening so far A regular punter stepped in and bet a grand at the price contributing into a book that held £1488 at the off and was the only bet of interest Just the one bet was interesting enough when it won though The fifth race was the busiest so far with a fair spread of horses laid It took a while for Kaan and Sophie to get the jolly Promethean into the book a punter was tempted in by the 6/4 winking at him and bet £1200 – £800 as the horses were going in the stalls the bogie was unplaced behind the 7/1 winner Expert Witness Apart from it’s generally good to have the jolly in the frame for the place book headed in the pecking order by a wager £800- £100 each-way ensured that the ‘result’ was a loser for £783 Next up and the bet numbers continued to be OK but to small stakes there was steady betting from the punters whilst never putting the dynamic duo of Sophie and Kaan under the cosh The biggest bet in this race was a carpet £300 at 11/4 Kinetic where they struggled to field a grand the hod held £972 with the jolly losing £906 and Queens Company £133 but not as bad as some in-running layers had been having I’m told the winner traded at 540/1 in running the penultimate Oisin Murphy was on Paragon looking for a treble the combination was supported from 6/4 into 11/8 but not to money The biggest bets in a book that did exceed the grand mark were £100 each-way on a couple of middle pins at 15/2 Mr Ubiquitous and Ceira G at 14/1 and a £700 – £100 Blue Train Those bets wouldn’t have made the Racing Post 30 years ago but are the reality of tonight’s business the book held £1407 with several horses glowing red so it was sit tight and hope time Mr Ubiquitous won the race by a nose from Blue Train the winner was the lesser of the two losers involved in the finish Going into the last the firm were doing £3300 which given the business looked an insurmountable sum but Sophie and Kaan were going to give it a go it appeared that business had significantly dwindled though Kaan clung onto the hope that there might be a losing lump lurking to hopefully save the day The bets were hardly pouring in but there was an interesting conversation taking place in front of the joint but I just hope the chap getting a bit personal with the ladies wasn’t on a work’s do or he could find himself cancelled in the morning ‘What he didn’t see a problem with’ might be argued by the ladies £1500 – £150 each-way Secret Handsheikh and £1400 – £100 each-way Some Nightmare at the off there was £1312 in the hod so a losing night was assured Bang On The Bell won the race at 9/2 copping £405 in the win book – Aye Aye then the places were put in and that win was reduced to losing £113 ‘Just one of those days’ was Kaan’s stoic response but if Dave Phillips’ reason was still correct the business actually bode well for the forthcoming season here at Windsor I’m at Cheltenham on Friday for their best meeting of the season Views of authors do not necessarily represent views of Star Sports Bookmakers It's Emergency Preparedness Week across Canada The week long awareness initiative is an opportunity for you to take action to ensure you're prepared to protect yourself your family and your community during an emergency The provincial theme for 2025 is "Plan for Every Season."  The concept embodies the unique challenges Windsorites face on a seasonal basis: from spring storms to summer heatwaves and high winds to winter snow and ice Emergency Planning Officer with Windsor Fire & Rescue Services says there is no shortage of reasons to plan to protect your family and property and you can do so by building an emergency kit "Keep in mind the specific needs that your family has making sure that you have basic necessities in that kit that during an emergency different items like that," Bertram said along with Windsor Police Service and Essex-Windsor Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is taking part in the first-ever province-wide campaign to tackle 9-1-1 misuse an issue that continues to strain emergency services Bertram says officials are trying to educate the public on proper use of the 9-1-1 emergency service 'When Every Second Counts' "9-1-1 is for life-threatening or urgent emergencies and if you're calling for instance for noise complaints that would be the non-emergency line," she said The Windsor Police Service non-emergency line is 519-258-6111 and the Windsor Fire & Rescue Services non-emergency line is 519-258-4444 The city offers its own alert program called 'Windsor Alerts' that provides updates warnings and instructions during times of crisis Bertram says city residents can register their address and those who work in the city can register their work address as well "It's specific to the location that you are putting so there could be an alert that goes out that's sent to all of the users or there could be an alert that only affects a specific area of Windsor and so we geolocate the users that are signed up in that area," said Bertram Signing up for the free 'Windsor Alerts' program is as easy as going to WindsorAlerts.ca or by calling 3-1-1 councillors and contractors for street cleaning waste and enforcement visited Windsor town centre to engage with residents and businesses directly and clear waste picking litter and removing graffiti and fly-posting Windsor town centre businesses were reminded of their responsibilities to manage their commercial waste along with the steps to take to make sure all their waste is stored Environmental Health teams also carried out checks on food businesses Town centre residents were also reminded about dealing with their domestic waste with advice and information on what can and can’t be recycled in the borough sent to properties making it easier for them to manage waste correctly This follows the crackdown in Maidenhead town centre earlier this year which has led to 11 fines being issued to residents and businesses Fly-tipping is a serious criminal offence that risks a fine of £400 Cabinet Member for Household and Regulatory Services said: "Fly-tipping spoils everyone's enjoyment of our town and poses risks to public health and safety We are determined to crack down on this antisocial behaviour.  “The council’s targeted action shows that we’re proactively working to prevent fly-tipping in the borough and have reminded residents and businesses of the role they play in keeping our spaces clean.” Residents are able to let the council know if they see fly-tipping in the area, or even someone dumping their rubbish so that it can be investigated and in some cases prosecuted, via the report it section of our website More information on recycling and rubbish in the borough is on our website
