  • Charlton are relegated

    SOCCER/English Premiership/Charlton 0 Tottenham 2: Charlton's traumatic season has culminated in relegation to the Championship. After being ever-present in the Premiership since 2000, the last rites on the club's top-flight status were administered at The Valley last night by a former player in Jermain Defoe, who scored Tottenham's second goal as the game entered stoppage time and in the process took his own team to the brink of a place in next season's Uefa Cup. p

  • Keane is already planning for the future

    SOCCER: It will come as no great surprise to anyone that, after collecting the Championship trophy at a low-key function in Sunderland yesterday, Roy Keane will be back at work this morning, meeting his employers to discuss his plans - and the budget available to implement them - for next season. p

  • Support for Brennan gathers momentum

    On Rugby: On June 1st, Trevor Brennan's appeal against the life ban, and equally punitive financial penalties, imposed on him will be heard by an ERC-appointed independent appeals committee. No one can condone what Brennan did but it is to be hoped that sanity will prevail and that a man who has still so much to offer the game will not be banished from rugby for life like a pariah. He and his extraordinary career deserve a better denouement than that. p

  • Leinster can be positive

  • US airport security procedures fly in the face of reason

    Caddie's Role: The good thing about international travel since those dark days of 9/11 is that you traverse the world through the extra vigilant hands of each country's security system. I was complacently beginning to believe most systems are water-tight until I arrived in America. It is a comforting thought as you nestle into your seat for your weekly flight as an international porter that you are safe from terrorists and any other lunatics who like the idea of blowing up planes in mid-air. p

  • Woods goes back to work

    The latest man to be mauled by the Tiger didn't display any outward wounds. Yesterday morning, under a grey sky, Steve Stricker pulled into the space reserved for him at the TPC at Sawgrass and, after loading his golf bag onto one shoulder and a holdall on to the other, and alone with his thoughts, undertook the short walk up the hill to the new clubhouse in the Mediterranean Revival style that is home to this week's Players Championship. The previous day, Stricker had become the latest victim, another statistic in Tiger Woods's onwards march to becoming golf's greatest ever practitioner. p

    CRICKET: Ireland spent the bank holiday on the road, their first away trip since returning from the Caribbean. The counties lay in wait with a quiet determination to put the upstarts in their place. They'd read the headlines, clocked the chicken dance and seemed unwilling to buy the T-shirt. p
