When was the last time at least half of the top 10 in the men's golf world rankings were from the UK? I'm guessing we got close around 2011 when Donald, Westwood, Rose, Clarke and maybe McDowell were there. Anyone? Maybe in the early 90s with Faldo, Woosnam, Lyle? #Masters

Led to believe @OfficialBHAFC's Jack Hinshelwood has not trained with the rest of the group today. #BHAFC

Midfielder Romain Esse (back) was a hot property in the January window. The 20 year old joined Coventry City on loan until the end of the season and has featured mostly off the bench. Josh King (front) looking to add to his four England u21 appearances. #PUSB #FFC

Good afternoon and welcome to St George’s Park for today’s England Men’s u21 open training session. #englandu21s

Our lecturer (and sports journalist) @MattRead66 will be chatting #FACup and #Championship football as well as VAR chaos on SENZ shortly. Follow @Rikdog72 for details.

Scripting (and empowering storytelling) at its best, as ever. Fab story, Joe. Disappointed I've only just seen it. More, please.

Geat morning with recent Coventry Uni Journalism graduates @WFCOfficial's Luke Webb, @BBCCWR's Jack Woolf, @GBNEWS' Fintan Starkey & @PhoebeLewinITV giving career advice. The experience our media pros have had - celebs, events, millions of hits - is remarkable. #CovJournoFest2026

Social media legends Lewis Denison (ITN) and Becky Hazelden-Brice (BBC) are currently sharing incredible career stories in Coventry for our students. Bananas, cranky editors and Boris Johnson regrets. 20 speakers over the next two days. #FestivalOfJournalism2026 @CovFeed

Transformational for the sport. Great news.

Alessia Russo lashes it home. 2-0 #Lionesses Anouk Denton now on for her debut.

The penalty has been given. Odd, but the ref has clearly agreed with the VAR review. #Lionesses

The Ghana goal is living a charmed life. Possible handball, but that should not be given... surely.

Ghana are coming into this with increasing impact from both flanks. #Lionesses

Lauren Hemp, one of England's classiest performers of recent times, is on. Hempo will make things happen. #Lionesses

A Lucy Bronze header is pushed onto the bar by the Ghana GK with the follow-up hit wide by Jess Park. The ball returns to the Ghana box at the next attack and Aggie Beever-Jones finds the bar AGAIN. Shooting boots (and heads) need polishing.

At HT... We thought it might be 4 or 5, after the demolition of China, but 1-0 - against a compact Ghana - isn't bad. The world No. 67s are much better than their ranking.

A save she should make, but it is another stop from Konlan Fiindib in the Ghana goal. Followed by an awkward flap at a corner. Still, she's keeping it at 1-0.

Ghana GK, Cynthia Konlan Fiindib had been the standout player on the pitch, before sliding out under a cross which missed the goal. Two solid saves and one dominant catch from a corner before this. Worth keeping an eye on the Al Hilal keeper in the future, for both reasons.
