The move was still going nowhere until a Hull knock-down gave Wigan six more tackles and Dallas scored from Terry Newton’s fast pass from dummy-half, with Farrell equalising from the touchline.Hull’s handling mistakes gave them too much defensive work to do and just before the hour it told on them, David Hodgson taking Ricky Bibey’s pass to get over and put Wigan back in the lead for the first time since the opening minutes.They should have gone on with it from there but had the game snatched from them at the death, putting even more pressure on a club where so much is expected.Wigan Warriors: Radlinski; Carney, Connolly, Hodgson, Dallas; Farrell, Lam; O’Connor, Newton, Howard, Wild, Cassidy, Furner. Andy Farrell’s kick should have been taken comfortably, but Steve Prescott let it bounce and amid the chaos that ensued, Kris Radlinski reached it before the dead ball line, Farrell’s second goal putting Wigan more closely in touch than they strictly deserved to be.It got better when Brett Dallas’ sparkling run out of defence triggered the first attack of the second half. “It’s a real driver’s course and there are plenty of holes out here where you have to hit very precise iron shots.”Mickelson, who won this tournament two years ago, is one stroke ahead of a group that includes Dudley Hart, Frank Nobilo, Ian Leggatt and Scandinavians Thomas Bjorn and Jesper Parnevik.Some 25 players are within four shots of the lead, while 75 of 143 players in the field broke par.Vijay Singh, winner of last week’s Houston Open, compiled a three-under 69 and David Toms, the reigning PGA Championship winner, was one of 14 players to shoot 68.Scott McCarron, who claimed his second BellSouth title last year, compiled a five-under 67 and is tied for eighth.Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, David Duval and Sergio Garcia are among those missing the tournament in order to prepare for Augusta.. The Australian Steve Elkington birdied his final three holes to shoot an eight-under-par 64 and take a one-shot lead over Phil Mickelson after the first round of the BellSouth Classic here on Thursday.
Elkington, who has not qualified for next week’s Masters, overcame a double-bogey on the third hole by making four straight birdies from the fourth and reached the turn at five-under 31 before adding three more on the back nine at the TPC at Sugarloaf.”I think if you wanted to prepare for The Masters, this would be a good place,” Elkington said.

England’s Greg Owen and Spain’s Miguel Angel Martin were in the clubhouse on one under par having completed their rounds.. Forsyth had also picked up three early birdies while Evans had only completed one hole. Sweden’s Carl Pettersson extended his lead to six shots before high winds again badly disrupted the Algarve Open de Portugal here yesterday. Substitutes not used: Murray (gk), Laursen.Referee: T Leake (Darwen, Lancs).. Substitutes not used: Gueret (gk), Sadlier, Tuttle, Kinet, Bircham.Wolverhampton Wanderers (4-4-2): Oakes; Camara, Butler, Halle, Lescott; Cooper (Blake 86), Cameron, Rae (Andrews 76), Newton; Miller (Ndah 70), Sturridge.

With the first half in stoppage time, Lions’ old boy Alex Rae poked the ball just wide of the post.Then, just three minutes after the break Newton danced his way into the penalty area and pulled the ball back for Colin Cameron, but the midfielder saw his close-range effort excellently parried.Both teams were without regular first-teamers, with Millwall missing their striker Neil Harris and Wolves without one of their players of the season in left-winger Mark Kennedy and the little extra they usually bring to this level was clearly lacking.Millwall (4-4-2): Warner; Lawrence, Nethercott, Ward, Bull; Cahill, Ifill, Reid, Livermore; Claridge, Dublin. Steve Claridge’s successful 73rd-minute penalty conversion was celebrated not just in south-east London last night but also – and probably even more loudly – in half of Manchester as it ensured Kevin Keegan’s City were promoted, after one season away, to the Premiership without kicking a ball.Wolves had to win this match to delay City’s long-since inevitable promotion, but their defeat, after Shaun Newton had tripped Claridge, would have made West Brom fans extremely happy as well. “I don’t see talks between the shareholders and the league taking place It is just not going to happen.”. The pair, who also picked up the award in November, received it again for performances in March that saw Liverpool win an impressive five games out of five, beating Fulham, Newcastle United, Middlesbrough, Chelsea and Charlton Athletic.The Arsenal striker Dennis Bergkamp was given the Player of the Month award.Fulham’s Lee Clark has been told to forget about making a comeback this season and to focus on recovering from his Achilles and calf injuries in time for the start of next season.The combative midfielder is seeking specialist opinions on his lower leg. We would like to keep him with us but we will see; there is the club, the player and the various interests of everyone to consider.”Houllier and his assistant, Phil Thompson, have been jointly awarded the Barclaycard Manager of the Month award for the second time this season. Sources inside Liverpool suggest that would force them to pull out.An alternative for Liverpool would be Auxerre’s Djibril Ciss?who is younger and would demand lower wages, but Liverpool scouts are compiling a list of alternatives.Houllier was in some doubt yesterday that he would be able to hang on to Anelka, saying: “His arrival has been a good thing for us, for him and the other strikers in the team as well.

There is also a signing-on fee of around £1.5m to go on top of the transfer paid to PSG, which is around £12m.If Anelka secured a four-year contract that would be worth £13m in wages alone, making the total cost of the deal £26.5m. Nicolas Anelka’s full-time move to Liverpool is on the brink of collapse because of his personal demands.
The French striker has played a large part in his side’s challenge for the Premiership title during his loan spell from Paris St-Germain, but the chance of the move becoming permanent looks slim.The former Arsenal forward, whose career was in decline before G?rd Houllier took him for the season, is asking – through his advisers who are headed by his brothers – for £60,000 a week. The proceeds, perhaps £50,000, will go to the Drogheda Cancer Support Centre in the Republic of Ireland and Teenage Cancer Support in Leeds.. It would be nice if we could find a cure for it, so I’m looking to make a good night of it and the proceeds will help along the way.”Kelly, a Leeds player for 10 years, is having his testimonial against Celtic at Elland Road on 7 May.
