“I made a commitment to start in Portugal, and you live by your decisions,” Drummond said. “This is a good start and I’m delighted.”There was less joy for Justin Rose, however, the 18-year-old finishing with a four-over par 76.He was one under after 12 holes, but dropped five shots in his last six holes and faces an uphill battle to make the last two rounds.. A RELIEVED Leeds have drafted two of their casualties, Adrian Morley and Marcus St Hilaire, back into their squad for their Silk Cut Challenge Cup semi-final against Bradford on Sunday. The return of Morley, out for three games with a dead-leg, is a huge boost for Leeds as they prepare for what is certain to be a demanding contest at the McAlpine Stadium. The Great Britain international will come straight back into the second row in place of Andy Hay, who is ruled out with a broken thumb.
St Hilaire, the utility player who has been used to great effect from the bench over the last year, has recovered from the hamstring injury that kept him out of the defeat by Wigan a week ago.”He is an important player for us and could be in the starting side,” said the Leeds coach, Graham Murray. “He certainly goes straight into the 17.”Murray’s other doubts – Richie Blackmore, Brad Godden and Anthony Farrell – will not train flat-out until tomorrow and a decision on whether they will play could be left until the morning of the match.

“I’m keeping my fingers crossed, but I’m hopeful for all three of them,” Murray said.Bradford will adopt the same policy with their injured players, the Australian winger, Michael Withers, and the veteran forward, Bernard Dwyer.The Salford chairman, John Wilkinson, has insisted that Andy Gregory will still be there as coach for the club’s next game, against Warrington on Good Friday, despite internal disciplinary procedures that have been put in motion over his remarks following the defeat at Wakefield last Sunday.Wigan are poised to sign the Lancashire Lynx stand-off, Phil Jones, today after increasing their transfer offer to pounds 35,000.

THERE SEEMS little doubt that Doncaster’s priority this weekend will be tomorrow’s first leg of their two-match women’s National League play-off at Walsall. On Sunday, they head for High Wycombe for their EHA quarter-final Cup tie against Slough.

The Yorkshire club, who finished bottom of the Premier League, take on Aldridge, who finished third in the First Division, for the one remaining place in next season’s restructured Premier League.
Overall victory for Aldridge, who won promotion last season to the First Division at the end of their first season in the National League, would give them their second successive jump.Much will depend on whether Doncaster can curb the goal-scoring of the former England manager Jane Swinnerton-Ions and whether they can find a way past her former England colleague Lisa Price in the heart of the Aldridge defence.The next eight weeks will tell John Shaw, the Slough coach, just how good his squad is. Having already finished on top of the Premier League, they should go into the semi-final draw on Monday of the EHA Cup at the expense of Sunday’s opponents, Doncaster.Off to the Netherlands for the European Club Championship over the Easter weekend, they return for the final stages of the Cup and the Premiership play-offs.After their 2-0 defeat by England on Wednesday evening, Shaw said: “That was our best performance of the season.

But I want to play well and win, not just win.” He was delighted with the news that Andy Halliday, who coached the club in the European Indoor Championship, would be joining him as assistant coach for the European event.Clifton Scottish Life, the Cup-holders, travel to Melton Mowbray, where they can expect tough opposition from Fyffes Leicester.
