Tara Maddigan of CrossFit 187 says athletes are holding up, up to this point and everyone is happy to be supporting the cause.“Everybody is feeling good so far. We’re only three workouts in so far, so that’s to be expected,” she says. “Everybody is really excited and we’ll see how things go as the hours roll on.” 23 athletes are taking part in the event with three doing the ultimate test of the 24 hour workout. – Advertisement -CrossFit 187 originally got a late start on fundraising efforts and as a result set a fundraising goal of $5,000. Maddigan says the gym has well surpassed that total with more money still to be calculated.“When I left the house this morning I looked and we were at $11,972. Plus we’ve taken in cash and cheque today from some of our team members that didn’t get online donations. I’m thinking hopefully we’re sitting around 15 grand, which is way more than I expected”The CrossFit 24 hours wraps up tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. Members of the public are encouraged to head down to CrossFit 187 to support the athletes taking part throughout the event.Advertisement
The change is being made in an effort to attract more fans down to the races. The racing season is scheduled to begin June 7 and 8 and the Father’s Day demo derby will be on June 15. – Advertisement –
LAS VEGAS – A second co-defendant in the O.J. Simpson armed-robbery case said Monday that he will plead guilty to a reduced charge and testify against Simpson and three others in what prosecutors say was the theft of sports collectibles from two memorabilia dealers in a hotel room. Walter Alexander, 46, of Mesa, Ariz., told a judge he will plead guilty of conspiracy to commit robbery, a felony that could bring one year to six years in prison. Clark County District Attorney David Roger said prosecutors might seek a suspended sentence and ask the sentencing judge to give Alexander probation. Outside the courtroom, Alexander and his lawyers declined to say what testimony he will provide or whether Alexander carried a gun into the hotel room. Earlier Monday, Charles Cashmore, 40, of Las Vegas said he would plead guilty to a lesser felony, accessory to robbery, and testify. Cashmore could get probation up to five years in prison. 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set! AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREGame Center: Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday, 10 a.m.The sudden plea agreements up the ante in the Simpson prosecution. Cashmore can testify that Alexander and co-defendant Michael McClinton had guns in the Sept. 13 confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers in a hotel room, Cashmore’s attorney, Edward Miley, said. “He can establish who was in the room, what was said, who had guns, who didn’t have guns, potentially who may have seen guns, who didn’t see guns,” Miley said outside court. “I think he wishes he would have never met O.J.” Simpson and his lawyers have denied that guns were in the room at the Palace Station hotel-casino in Las Vegas. Simpson lawyer Gabriel Grasso said Monday that he and defense attorney Yale Galanter expected Cashmore and Alexander to take plea deals, but realize that the deals make Simpson’s defense more difficult. Grasso pointed to what he called “inconsistencies” in accounts about whether guns were present or wielded.
Although Fr Martin could not physically be present in Otway last Sunday, he sent his blessing, and some beautiful weather, for the 2012 captains drivein, which was much appreciated by all participants.Captain Noel and Lady Captain Bridgeen kicked off the day in style, and continued a run of captains winning the official launch of their year.Although the pair were ably assisted by Portsalon Captain Diarmuid Logue and Lady Captain Noreen McConigley, a bit of friendly rivalry appears to have sprung up between the two lady captains, which no doubt will be resumed as their respective years continue. Congratulations to all four on their victory, and also to the second placed team of Shaun Barrett, Paul Murray and Eamonn O’Kane.Ann Cullen did her best to urge her team on to the winners enclosure, even putting in from off the green at the 9th, but like so many other teams on the day, just fell short by one birdie !Well done also to all the ladies (and Kevin) for organising the soup and sandwiches on the day, and we look forward to another sucessfull and enjoyable year at Otway.OTWAY GOLF CLUB NOTES was last modified: March 13th, 2012 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Tags:OTWAY GOLF CLUB NOTES
ROSAPENNA ARE ULSTER CHAMPIONSCongratulations to the Rosapenna Irish Mixed Foursomes team captained by Bernadette North & Peter Smyth who overcame a very strong Mannan Castle side 3-2 in the Ulster Final last Friday at Omagh Golf Club. This is Rosapenna Golf Club’s first ever Ulster title since the club was formed in 1895.On the day the first pairing of Dypnma Kelly & Enda Kennedy were involved in a tight tussle and were all square playing the long 14th which they won with bogey 5 and proceeded to half the Par 15th and win holes 16 & 17 with Pars to win 3&1 putting the first point on the board for Rosapenna.The second pairing of Suzanne Gallagher & Con Boyce came up against possibly Mannan’s strongest pair losing 2&1.In the third match Terri McBride & Frank Casey Jnr were all square after 10 holes and won the tricky 11th hole with a Par 4 and haved holes 12-16 and on the tough Par 3 17th Terri played a fantastic chip from pin high right to within an inch of the hole to secure a Par 3 to win the hole and the match 2&1 to secure our second full point. In the fourth match Kit Boyce & Pat Boyce were 1 up playing 16 and lost the hole to a Par 4 and also lost the 17th to a Par 3 to go one down with one hole to play and the match finished in Mannan’s favour by just 1 hole.With the tie now set at 2-2 the Rosapenna’s final pairing of Orla Mallon & Marty McDermott were 2 up on the 16th tee. They lost the 16th to a Par 4 and proceeded to the tight Par 3 17th with a slim one hole advantage in the deciding match.Marty hit an 8 iron to the front edge from where Orla would cosy her birdie effort up to the hole for a Par 3 which halved the hole to remain 1 up with 1 hole to play.On the 18th tee the drive from Mannan Castle stayed in bounds by just 6 inches and Orla spilt the fairway leaving Marty just a wedge which he hit to 12 feet directly behind the hole.Orla again left her downhill putt to within a few feet and when Mannan’s pair could only manage a Par 4 Marty tapped in his two footer to send Rosapenna to the All Ireland Finals for the first time in our clubs 119 year history.The All Ireland finals will take place at Clontarf Golf Club (Founded 1912: celebrating their centenary) this Thursday & Friday the 6th & 7th of September with Ulster (Rosapenna) vs Leinster (Rathfarnham) at 11.35am on Thursday the 6th in the semi final.

The first Group 2 game in the Super Eights promises to be a fight between two strong bowling line-ups belonging to Pakistan and South Africa.Neither team has played at the R Premadasa Stadium during the World Twenty20, with Pakistan coming in from the batting-friendly Pallekele and the Proteas from Hambantota, which all-rounder Albie Morkel called ‘just like home’.But on the turning tracks here, every opponent will need to be wary of Pakistan’s trump card, Saeed Ajmal, who has become virtually unplayable in any format and conditions. South Africa skipper AB de Villiers said “no” when asked whether any of his batsmen were able to read Ajmal. “But we have a few areas where we’d like to attack him,” he said.”They are a very good team. They have been in the semi-finals of all tournaments and have also won once. But our focus is more on what we can do well,” de Villiers said. The Proteas have a terrific batting line-up led by the runmachine Hashim Amla and young gun Richard Levi at the top, followed by the legendary Jacques Kallis, de Villiers himself, JP Duminy and Francois du Plessis.Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel make for a scary new-ball pair, and can be ably backed up by allrounders Kallis and Albie, and two quality limited-overs spinners in Johan Botha and Robin Peterson.Pakistan, on the other hand, have a misfiring fast bowling line-up, but do possess a lot of in-form batsmen like skipper Mohammad Hafeez, Imran Nazir, Nasir Jamshed and the Akmal brothers – Kamran and Umar. In the end, the match will probably come down to how the South Africans negotiate the Pakistani spinners.advertisementPakistan vs South Africa, Live from Colombo, on STAR Cricket from 3:30 pm
Prime Minister Narendra Modi landed in Seoul in South Korea early on Thursday. He has begun his two-day visit of the far-east country. During his visit, both the countries will discuss co-operation in diverse fields.MEA Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said the visit would strengthen India’s special strategic partnership with South Korea and add dynamism to the Look East Policy.”Continuing the momentum of high-level exchanges. PM @narendramodi emplanes for Seoul on a 2-day State Visit to the Republic of Korea,” he tweeted earlier.Ahead of his visit, the prime minister described South Korea as an important partner for India’s key initiatives such as ‘Make in India’, and said as fellow democracies the two nations share values and vision for regional and global peace.Modi is left for South Korea on Wednesday after he was invited by South Korean President Moon Jae-in. This will be his second visit to the Republic of Korea and second summit meeting with President Moon.In his departure statement, he said his visit is reflective of the importance “we both attach to our relationship”.”We regard the Republic of Korea as a valued friend, a nation with which we have a Special Strategic Partnership. As fellow democracies, India and the ROK have shared values and a shared vision for regional and global peace,” the prime minister said.”As fellow market economies, our needs and strengths are complementary. South Korea is an important partner for our ‘Make in India’ initiative as well as in our ‘Start Up India’ and ‘Clean India’ initiatives,” Modi said.advertisementHe said collaboration between the two in the field of science and technology is encouraging, with joint research ranging from basic to advanced sciences.”Our people to people ties and exchanges, as always, provide the bedrock of our ties of friendship. We were touched by President Moon’s decision to send the First Lady as his special representative at the ‘Deepotsav’ Festival held in Ayodhya last November,” he said.The “growing depth and variety” in the relationship of the two countries has been accentuated by the harmony between New Delhi’s Act East Policy and South Korea’s New Southern Policy.”Working together, we are determined to take our relationship forward as a ‘future oriented partnership for People, Prosperity and Peace’,” the prime minister said.Read | Pakistan narrative on Kashmir not acceptable: Saudi ArabiaWatch | Saudi Arabia embraces Yoga as a sports activity
