Warrington Town's first home pre-season friendly is confirmed
WARRINGTON Town have confirmed the first of their home pre-season friendlies as their summer schedule starts to come together.
Yellows will welcome National League side Altrincham to the Cal.Delivery Stadium for a friendly match on Saturday, July 12, kick off 3pm.
It will be fans' first chance to see what is likely to be a new-look Town side on home soil as they bid to bounce back having been relegated from the National League North.
Earlier this week, nine departures were confirmed from last season's squad with only three players currently under contract for the 2025-26 campaign, although talks are ongoing with several players about remaining at the club.
More friendlies are expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks, with pre-season training due to start on June 28.
Tickets for the Altrincham friendly are priced at £10 for adults, £6 for concessions and £2 for under 16s.

PSL Playoffs: Casric, Orbit draw to give CT City hope of retaining topflight status
Orbit College and Casric Stars played out a cagey 0-0 draw in their PSL Promotional Playoff opener, leaving the promotion race wide open. Both goalkeepers impressed, with Sekhoane Moerane and Emile Lako Wendeu pulling off key saves in a tense first half. The match lost momentum after halftime, with neither side able to create clear chances as defences took control and caution prevailed. The PSL Promotional Playoffs kicked off with a tense stalemate on Wednesday afternoon. Orbit College and Casric Stars played out a 0-0 draw, keeping both sides on level ground but doing little to clarify the race for Premiership promotion. Orbit, still chasing their first win in a playoff fixture after their winless campaign in 2022, began brightly. Siyabulela Mabele came close inside the first minute, latching onto a loose ball and unleashing a stinging shot that forced a solid save from Casric goalkeeper Emile Lako Wendeu. Casric, with Kermit Erasmus and Decide Chauke leading their frontline, showed intent but lacked cohesion in the final third. Thabang Semache's long-range effort midway through the first half nearly broke the deadlock, but Orbit keeper Sekhoane Moerane was sharp and denied him at full stretch. Moerane was called into action again shortly before halftime to tip over a powerful header from Simon Fils Ndou Moukete. The second half, however, saw a more tactical and conservative approach from both benches. Erasmus was withdrawn in the 54th minute after struggling to influence proceedings, and Orbit introduced Gomolemo Khoto and Reuben Kgabane to inject fresh energy, but clear chances dried up as the match wore on. With defences taking control and both teams cautious of losing their opener, the game fizzled out to a goalless draw. It's a point apiece, and while it doesn't ignite the playoff race, it sets the stage for a vital clash on Saturday when Orbit travel to Cape Town to face Premiership side Cape Town City. Kick-off is at 15:00 at Cape Town Stadium.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong Poised to Start at MLB All-Star Game
Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong Poised to Start at MLB All-Star Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Cubs are one of the best teams in all of baseball, and they have one of MLB's biggest rising stars. At just 23 years old, Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has emerged as one of the top players in baseball this season. Advertisement Right now, he is hitting .276 with 55 RBIs and an OPS of .866. Oh, and his 17 home runs this season are suitable for the top 10 in the MLB, tied in eighth place with the New York Mets' Pete Alonso. Coincidentally, the budding superstar was drafted by the Mets five years ago and was traded to Chicago back in 2021 in a deal that sent Javier Baez to New York. According to Bren MaGuire, Crow-Armstrong is now expected to be one of the league's first-time All-Stars this season. Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong (4) gestures after hitting a one run single against the Cincinnati Reds during the third inning at Wrigley Banks-Imagn Images "With his 20th steal on June 3, Crow-Armstrong became the fourth-fastest player in the Modern Era (since 1900) to record 15 home runs and 20 stolen bases, reaching the mark in just 60 games," Maguire wrote. Advertisement Maguire also noted that as of Friday, June 6, Crow-Armstrong placed third in WAR at 3.8. That sits just behind the Seattle Mariners' Cal Raleigh (4.0) and the New York Yankees' Aaron Judge (5.6). The Chicago outfielder joins Francisco Lindor and Raleigh on the list among players who are yet to start an All-Star game, while his Cubs' teammate Kyle Tucker was named an honorable mention. Crow-Armstrong has become a favorite amongst the Chicago fanbase and MLB fans alike, which positions him well as a potential All-Star starter in the National League's outfield.

Charalampos Kostoulas set to undergo Brighton medical ahead of €35m transfer from Olympiacos
Olympiacos striker Charalampos Kostoulas is set to undergo a medical before completing a move to Brighton & Hove Albion. The Athletic reported earlier this month that Brighton were in negotiations with the Greek Super League club over the potential transfer of the 18-year-old. A deal worth €35m (£29.6m; $40.2m) plus an additional €2m (£1.6m, $2.2m) in add-ons is nearing completion. Advertisement Kostoulas is set to sign a five-year deal and will join up with his new team-mates in July for pre-season. It was revealed by The Athletic on May 16 that the Premier League side had submitted an offer of around £30m plus Senegal forward Abdallah Sima for Kostoulas but Olympiacos rejected that proposal. Kostoulas is regarded as one of the hottest young talents in Europe. The teenage forward helped Olympiacos to win the youth version of the Champions League in 2023-24 with five goals in eight appearances. He featured regularly for the first team in the Greek Super League and in the Europa League this season, with seven goals and two assists in 30 appearances. Kostoulas has scored five goals in 15 appearances representing Greece in age groups from under-16 to under-21 but is yet to make his senior international debut.
