Performers during the football draw ceremony for the Australia and New Zealand 2023 Women's World Cup at the Aotea Centre in Auckland on Saturday. Photograph: Getty ImagesThe ceremony for the World Cup draw in Auckland on Saturday morning was around an hour-ish old when Republic of Ireland defender Hayley Nolan threw a glance towards her watch. Besides, if she had to travel from Kildare to Jupiter and back to play in the World Cup, she’d be fine and dandy with it. The ceremony concluded with World Cup mascot Penguin Tazuni and four footballers bopping about manically on stage, Nolan by then just hoping to make injury time in London City’s Sunday game. Leigh Sports Village, though, proved to be a house of pain for our rugby league lads who lost 32-14 to Lebanon in the World Cup.

Michael Walker: ‘Uncomfortable’ Mark Kennedy making the cut in management

“When I look at my career and my life, I’d like to think I’m balanced,” he says. And I think that’s what I’m good at.”The ease and articulation suggest Kennedy has been doing this kind of speech for years. Kennedy went into the shadows, played at Manchester City, Wolves, Crystal Palace, Cardiff City and finished at Ipswich Town. Last Saturday Lincoln became the first team this season to win at promotion favourites Ipswich; Lincoln did it via a third consecutive clean sheet; today it is Sheffield Wednesday at Sincil Bank. That’s a big moment.”December 8th, 1996: Mark Kennedy of Liverpool in action against Sheffield Wednesday at Anfield.
