Work completed on football club's new road in Mousehole

BBC News2 days ago
Work to create a new access road for a football club has been completed in time for the start for the new season. Mousehole AFC will now have direct access to the nearby B3315, after previously having a small single-lane track which had become pothole-ridden. The club failed to raise the reported six-figure funds needed to build the road for Interiora Trungle Parc and The Prince of Wales saw a newspaper story about the club's struggles and set up a consortium of businesses to fund the project in full. Project lead Simon Taylor said after "months of hard work behind the scenes, and a month of incredible effort" seeing the road completed was "a real pinch-me moment".
Mr Taylor said: "As a club we could not be more pleased, and I know that the local residents will soon see the benefits of this new access and from speaking to many, I know how much this will change their lives for the better."Thank you to everyone who has made this happen, and of course, a special mention to HRH Prince Wales for getting this momentous project underway." It's hoped the new road will reduce congestion in the nearby village of Paul and provide easier access for supporters. Work has finished and the road will be open for the club's FA Cup fixture against Bridgwater United on Saturday afternoon.

Las Vegas Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr breaks his leg after brutal collision with Maxx Crosby in practice

Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. broke his right leg during a mock game in Las Vegas practice on Saturday, according to multiple reports. Johnson, 29, was carted off the field after colliding brutally with defensive end Maxx Crosby while attempting to tackle running back Raheem Mostert. The six-year pro will reportedly undergo an MRI exam to determine if there is any additional damage. Depending on the severity of the injury, including if surgery is required, recovery could range anywhere from 10 weeks to six months. After his suffering the devastating injury, he took to X on Saturday and wrote: 'Imma soldier [on] chin up chest out - God got me'. Johnson signed as a free agent with Las Vegas this year after playing last season in Carolina, putting pen to paper on a one-year contract. He started once for the Panthers and played in 15 games, making seven tackles. #Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. left the team's mock game on a cart. Competing to be a starter, the six-season veteran who signed with Las Vegas this offseason had his ankle rolled up on by Maxx Crosby on this play. — Nick Walters (@nickwalt) August 2, 2025 The former Kentucky college star has also played for the New Orleans Saints, Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans, racking up 20 career starts with 199 tackles, 15 passes defended and four interceptions over the course of his career. He has been competing on the second team in practices for Las Vegas, but has been with the starters when they have gone to nickel defenses. The Raiders, who are co-owned by legendary quarterback Tom Brady, play their first preseason game on Thursday August 7 against the Seattle Seahawks. After more preseason outings against the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals, they begin the 2025 NFL season away to the New England Patriots. Home fixtures against the Los Angeles Chargers and Chicago Bears, as well as road trips to the Washington Commanders and Indianapolis Colts, make up their first five games of the year. Ahead of the new season, Brady was seen mingling with Raiders players - including star tight end Brock Bowers - in a shock appearance at training camp this week. It was his first public appearance at practice since NFL owners last year approved his bid to become a minority owner in the team. Brady and his partner Tom Wagner own 10 percent of the Raiders, with the seven-time Super Bowl winner holding a 5 percent stake in the franchise.

Report: Raiders S Lonnie Johnson Jr. suffered broken fibula

August 3 - First-year Las Vegas Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr., was carted off the field during Saturday's practice at Allegiant Stadium with a broken fibula in his right leg, according to multiple reports on Sunday. Johnson, 29, will reportedly undergo an MRI exam to determine if there is any additional damage. Depending on the severity of the injury, including if surgery is required, recovery could range anywhere from 10 weeks to six months. The six-year pro collided with defensive end Maxx Crosby while attempting to tackle running back Raheem Mostert. A projected backup this season, Johnson was receiving first-team reps when the defense featured three safeties. Johnson agreed to a one-year deal with the Raiders during the offseason after spending three years with the Houston Texans (2019-21) and one each with the Tennessee Titans (2022), New Orleans Saints (2023) and Carolina Panthers (2024). A second-round pick by Houston in 2019, Johnson has accumulated 199 tackles, 15 passes defended and four interceptions across 83 games (20 starts). --Field Level Media
