Brickfield Rangers tackle Bow Street in battle of top-two
Rangers still have three games to play but Aiden Fox's double and one from Thomas Williams secured the win after James Jones had put Albion in front.

A win at home to Kerry will keep their hopes alive.
Six sides will complete their campaigns in the North West League tomorrow.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney praised after Wrexham sign Nathan Broadhead
Phil Parkinson says Wrexham have been forced to spend heavily to compete in the Championship after smashing their transfer record to sign Nathan Broadhead. Wales striker Broadhead joined from Ipswich on Thursday in a reported deal worth up to £10million, although Parkinson quipped Wrexham would have 'to get in the Premier League and win the Champions League' for the fee to reach that figure. Broadhead became Wrexham's ninth summer signing for a campaign which sees them playing in the second tier of English football just three seasons after being in the National League. 'The backing (from owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney) is key,' manager Parkinson said ahead of West Brom's visit to the SToK Cae Ras on Saturday – Wrexham's first home game at this level since beating Rotherham 3-2 on May 15, 1982. 'There's a lot of spending power in the division. Really since day one, because we've moved so quickly as a club, we've always had to work hard to fast-track the quality level to the first team. 'We've always been playing catch up, even in the National League we were behind a lot of clubs development-wise – the structure, academy, players coming through. 'We had to improve the standard and that filters down. The structure behind the first team has become stronger with the formation of the academy a couple of years ago. 'We've come into this division very quickly and it's important we've brought in Championship standard players to help us on this journey. Also, to help the existing players who have do so well over the last few years.' The addition of Bangor-born Broadhead, who was in the Wrexham youth system before joining Everton at the age of 10, is the biggest statement yet the Red Dragons have made in the transfer market under their Hollywood owners. The 27-year-old has won 14 Wales caps and made 18 Premier League appearances for Ipswich last term in a season disrupted by injuries. Parkinson said: 'We've been looking at Nathan throughout the summer. 'A fee had been agreed with Ipswich for quite a long time, but they wanted to bring a player in so we had to be patient. 'He's got that Championship pedigree and the ability to create something in tight situations. 'You need players to unlock the door and create moments in games, and Nathan's got that. 'The story of him coming back home is a great one as well. He was at a great club at Ipswich but he has shown a real desire to come and play for us.' Wrexham lost their Championship opener at Southampton 2-1 last weekend, with two late Saints goals condemning them to painful defeat. Summer signing Kieffer Moore was forced off with ankle ligament damage in the second half but Parkinson provided a positive fitness update on the Wales targetman, although no date has been given for his return. He said: 'Kieffer's not as bad as we feared. With a ligament injury like that you always fear it's going to be something worse. 'But it's not a serious injury and he's making great progress.'

ITV SPORT have confirmed the return of a major sporting event to free-to-air TV. The broadcaster will be showing Britain's biggest professional cycling race on September 2. 3 3 3 The Lloyds Tour of Britain Men will have all six stages shown on ITV4 and ITVX until its conclusion on September 7. The coverage will be presented by sports writer and TV host Ned Boulting. The race will have some extra hype as it is Geraint Thomas ' last ever time on the competitive saddle. The Welsh cycling star won the Tour de France as well as the BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2018. Thomas, 39, will be retiring after the race and is considered a legend of the sport. The Lloyds Tour of Britain Men was broadcast for the first time on ITV in 2008. However, it will be the last time for the foreseeable future that the race is shown on the channel. In 2026, ITV will be pulling out of covering it, which means it will only be available on paid-for channels. Coverage will then only be shown on TNT Sports channels and the online streaming service Discovery+. Last year it was announced that TNT would absorb all the cycling coverage that was shown on Eurosport. Eurosport is set to disappear from channel lists in February. Meanwhile, Thomas has spoken about his upcoming retirement He told the BBC: "It's been amazing. "Looking back, I never thought I'd be doing 14 Tours and to win it was just bonkers. I can look back with fond memories. "It was something I always dreamed of doing so to have just done it and be in Paris once is special you know. To do 14 is unreal really, one hell of a journey. "I'm not one to be too sentimental and look back or whatever, you're always sort of thinking of the next thing. "But I guess when it comes to the end there's nothing else to look forward to is there?"
