Girls' football team to kick ball 20 miles from Southwater to Shoreham for charity
A girls' football team will kick a ball from Southwater to the coast of Shoreham to raise money for a breast cancer charity.
Players from the Horsham Sparrows Under 15 Girls' Team will complete the 20-mile challenge on May 17, 2025, to support the Lobular Moon Shot Project.
The project raises funds for research into lobular breast cancer.
The challenge will see the girls kick a ball from Southwater Country Park, along the Downs Link, to Shoreham Beach.
The walk will take them through Copsale, West Grinstead, Partridge Green, Henfield, Bramber, and Shoreham Beach.
Proceeds from the event will go to the Manchester Breast Centre.

Some of the team previously took part in the award-winning short film "Aguska" starring Simon Callow and Tegan Muggeridge.
The film, made by Horsham film production company Fact Not Fiction Films, raised awareness of teenage bullying in sport and lobular breast cancer.
The idea for the walk was suggested by Simon King, one of the coaches at Horsham Sparrows FC.
The event is part of a wider series of fundraising walks, organised across the UK for the Lobular Moon Shot Project.

Dollar slumps in broad risk rally after Trump announces Israel-Iran ceasefire
Against a basket of currencies, the US dollar was slightly lower at 98.12, extending its more than 0.5% decline in the previous session. (Reuters pic) SINGAPORE : The US dollar fell today while its Australian and New Zealand counterparts rose after President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, in news that sent investors cheering and sparked a risk rally across markets. Trump announced a complete ceasefire between Israel and Iran, potentially ending the 12-day conflict that led millions of people to flee Tehran and prompted fears of further escalation in the war-torn region. However, there was no confirmation from Israel, and the Israeli military said Iran launched waves of missiles today just hours after the announcement. Trump later said the ceasefire 'is now in effect' and urged both countries to not violate it. The risk-sensitive Aussie got a lift and last traded 0.5% higher at US$0.6493 as did the kiwi, which rose 0.55% to US$0.6009. Israel's shekel rallied sharply too, jumping 1% against the dollar to its strongest level since February 2023. 'It's obviously positive news for risk sentiment,' said Rodrigo Catril, senior currency strategist at National Australia Bank, of the announced ceasefire. 'We need to obviously have a bit more detail in terms of exactly what all this means… I suppose it will be the conditions of the ceasefire, and what are the conditions for a more longer-lasting peace deal,' Catril said. The dollar, which last week drew support from safe-haven demand, fell broadly in the wake of the news. Against the yen, the greenback was down 0.47% at 145.45. The euro rose 0.23% to US$1.1605 and sterling advanced 0.27% to US$1.3564. The yen and euro benefited from a slide in oil prices as both the EU and Japan rely heavily on imports of oil and liquefied natural gas, while the US is a net exporter. Adding to headwinds for the dollar were dovish comments from Federal Reserve (Fed) policymaker Michelle Bowman, who said the US central bank should consider interest rate cuts soon. Bowman's openness to cutting rates soon is supported by Fed governor Christopher Waller, who said in a television interview last week that he would also consider a rate cut at next month's meeting. Against a basket of currencies, the dollar was slightly lower at 98.12, extending its more than 0.5% decline in the previous session. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to testify before the US Congress today and tomorrow, where focus will be on the outlook for US rates. 'There appears to be increasing division among the ranks of the Fed board ahead of Fed chair Powell's testimony,' said Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG. 'The chance of a July rate cut… is still underpriced. I think it should be higher than that,' Sycamore. Markets are now pricing in close to a 23% chance the Fed could ease rates in July, up from 14.5% a day ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool. In cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin rose more than 1% to US$105,155.52, while Ether jumped 2.7% to US$2,412.54, in a reflection of the positive risk sentiment.

Oil prices fall sharply after Iran strikes US base in Qatar
Crude oil prices fell around 7 percent on Monday, after Iran said it had launched a missile attack on a US base in Qatar. Investors appeared to take the retaliatory action as being limited, following days of uncertainty over whether Tehran would close the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump later said that Iran had given the US advance notice of the attack. Earlier, Washington also called on China to pressure Tehran not to close the vital waterway.
