Williams’ goal seals MBU win
WESTERN BUREAU: Striker Dino Williams scored his second goal of the season as defending champions Montego Bay United (MBU) edged Boys’ Town FC 2-1 in their Red Stripe Premier League football match at Wespow Park yesterday. It means that Boys’ Town are still without a victory in the league, while MBU were registering their second consecutive win. The champions had lost their opening match. Assistant coach Dillion Thelwell said while there were aspects of the game that were right, he felt the team needed more defensive urgency. RIGHT PATH “It is early into the season and yes, I do think we are on the right path. Three points today was good for us, but we needed to see more in terms of our defensive tracking,” he told The Gleaner. The decision to substitute midfielder Jermaine Woozencroft at half-time was, according to Thelwell, a change to inject more defensive presence, while taking care of Boys’ Town’s attackers. Williams fired the hosts into an early lead when he converted a 16th-minute header. Speedy winger Allan Ottey was the provider. Ottey would then score his team’s go-ahead goal in the 78th minute, firing hard into the net from inside the area. Before that, Boys’ Town had equalised through Shamar Nicholson in the 73rd minute. “This team is evolving. I think we will get it right in time,” said Andrew Price, Boys’ Town’s head coach.

Lampard retires at 38 LONDON (AP): Frank Lampard retired from football yesterday, ending a 21-year career in which he won every major honour at club level with Chelsea and established himself as the Premier League’s highest-scoring midfielder. Renowned for his professionalism, work rate, and the timing of his runs into the penalty box, the 38-year-old Lampard will go down as one of the greats of the Premier League era. In his time at Chelsea from 2001-14, he became the club’s record scorer with 211 goals, made 649 appearances, and was the heartbeat of teams that won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, and the Champions League in 2012. He started out at West Ham before finishing his career with short stints at Manchester City and then New York City FC in Major League Soccer. Only strikers Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney, and Andy Cole have scored more Premier League goals than Lampard’s 177, a total that includes 10 or more goals in 10 straight seasons for Chelsea. And only Ryan Giggs and Gareth Barry have made more Premier League appearances than Lampard’s 609. Lampard also played 106 times for England.

Kevin Nedrick finished second in the event with 60.38 metres. Earlier in the day, Nedrick picked up bronze in the Under-20 javelin throw with 58.33m as Keyon Burton of Dominica took the gold with 62.14m. The day was dominated by several Jamaican quinellas. Under-18 high jumper Jonique Burger gave the island its first gold when she cleared 1.77m to finish ahead of teammate Lamara Distin (1.74m).

She came close to achieving that, but Muguruza would not allow it.Sports Related Videospowered by AdSparcRead Next At 37, Williams was bidding for her sixth championship at the grass-court major, 17 years after her first. And she was so close to gaining the upper hand against Muguruza, holding two set points at 5-4 in the opener. But Muguruza fought those off and did not drop a game the rest of the way.In 2015, in her first Grand Slam final, Muguruza lost to Williams’ younger sister, Serena, whom the Spaniard then defeated in the French Open title match last year.FEATURED STORIESSPORTSEnd of his agony?

On the first set point, a 20-stroke exchange ended when Williams blinked first, putting a forehand into the net. On the second, Williams sent a return long, and Muguruza pumped her fist. It was as if getting out of that jam freed up Muguruza – and failing to capitalize on the opportunity deflated Williams. That began the match-closing nine-game run for Muguruza.Williams began faltering, spraying her shots to unintended spots – long, wide, into the net – while the younger, less-experienced Muguruza stayed steady, pounding groundstrokes with all her force. Williams finished with 25 unforced errors, 14 more than Muguruza made.It was an anticlimactic conclusion for Williams, who was the oldest Wimbledon finalist since 1994. Diagnosed in 2011 with Sjogren’s syndrome, an energy-sapping autoimmune disease, she learned to deal with that condition by turning to a plant-based diet and altering other routines. It took a while for her to get back to her best tennis.Her resurgence began in earnest at Wimbledon a year ago, when she made it to the semifinals. Then, at the Australian Open in January, Williams reached the final, where she lost to her sister.Serena is off the tour for the rest of this year because she is pregnant, and Venus spoke this week about missing her and wanting to put “Williams” on a trophy once again.ADVERTISEMENT LATEST STORIES Filipinos turn Taal Volcano ash, plastic trash into bricks PLAY LIST 01:40Filipinos turn Taal Volcano ash, plastic trash into bricks01:32Taal Volcano watch: Island fissures steaming, lake water receding02:14Carpio hits red carpet treatment for China Coast Guard02:56NCRPO pledges to donate P3.5 million to victims of Taal eruption00:56Heavy rain brings some relief in Australia02:37Calm moments allow Taal folks some respite Duterte’s ‘soft heart’ could save ABS-CBN, says election lawyer OSG plea to revoke ABS-CBN franchise ‘a duplicitous move’ – Lacson LIVE: Sinulog 2020 Grand Parade Missile-capable frigate BRP Jose Rizal inches closer to entering PH Navy’s fleet Marcosian mode: Duterte threatens to arrest water execs ‘one night’ 787 earthquakes recorded in 24 hours due to restive Taal Volcano Power Smashers post 1st win, top Perlas in 5 sets Spain’s Garbine Muguruzam hold the trophy after defeating Venus Williams of the United States in the Women’s Singles final match on day 12 at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London Saturday, July 15, 2017.

In 31 minutes, Irving made 10 of 12 shots, including five 3-pointers, and hit all five of his free throws.Irving, frustrated that the mask was affecting his peripheral vision two nights ago, took it off to help Boston beat defending NBA champion Golden State by four points. He scored 16 points, but was just 4 for 16 from the field.“I could see just a little bit more of the crowd tonight,” Irving said. “The eye holes were a little bit bigger. The basket looked a little bit better. I was told to kind of keep it on, so it was a better fit.”The Celtics lead NBA in scoring defense, but they gave up 35 points in the first quarter and trailed by 15 entering the second.“I think the biggest thing is that we can’t keep digging these holes,” Boston coach Brad Stevens said. “We need to put an emphasis on playing with pace and getting the ball to the other side of the floor.”Atlanta used a 16-0 run in the first to take a 15-point lead. But fueled by Marcus Smart and other reserves, Boston pulled within four twice in the second and cut the lead to six in the closing minutes on Brown’s 3.Marcus Morris and Jayson Tatum each had 14 points for Boston. John Collins scored 18 and Taurean Prince added 14 for AtlantaTIP-INSCeltics: Tatum was scoreless until he stole the ball and dunked to cut the lead to four in the third. The 19-year-old former Duke standout followed with an acrobatic, one-handed dunk on a fast break to make it 75-72 and had another dunk to put Boston up 78-77 near the end of the period. Tatum had all 14 of his points in the third.Hawks: Prince is developing into a solid option on offense, spinning for a layup against Shane Larkin and floating a soft assist on Collins’ dunk that put Atlanta up 84-82. But Prince has a substandard reputation as a defender, and coach Mike Budenholzer gave him an earful after calling timeout in the third. Prince had just missed an assignment that left Brown open to hit the big 3 from the left corner.

It marked Boston’s fourth win when trailing by at least 16 during the streak.It’s been a tough week for Brown, a 21-year-old whose best friend Trevin Steede passed away this week in metro Atlanta. Brown and Streede went to Wheeler High School together in nearby Marietta. He spoke publicly about Steede a couple of days ago and skipped talking to reporters after beating the Hawks.“He’s not alone,” Irving said. “That’s the spirit in the truest form. (Brown) may not say much but he knows we’re all here for him.”Irving, playing with a protective mask to protect a minor facial fracture, ended the game with a right-handed finger-roll layup, delighting a few thousand Boston fans who were chanting “MVP!
