Tribe 'happy' after impressive Glamorgan innings
Glamorgan's Jersey batter Asa Tribe says he is "feeling good" after leading his side to victory over Gloucestershire.
The 21-year-old hit 63 not out including smashing 41 runs in the final two overs to set up a 40-run win at Bristol.

Tribe hit seven sixes in his 28-ball innings in what was his best ever score for Glamorgan.
"I'm feeling good about my cricket at the moment," said Tribe, whose score was his second best T20 total after a 73 not out he scored for Jersey against the United States in July 2022.
The game was just his seventh appearance for Glamorgan in T20 competition.
Tribe, who made his international debut as a 17-year-old, moved to the club in October 2023 and has also made eight first class appearances for the Welsh side since his debut in September 2024.
"The boys set the game up nicely for me to come in and do what I did today," he added to BBC Wales.
"I've only had a few games for Glam so far but I'm happy with how I played today."

The Federico Chiesa chant and the fallout. Plus: Rangers chaos and panic rankings
The Athletic FC ⚽ is The Athletic's daily football (or soccer, if you prefer) newsletter. Sign up to receive it directly to your inbox. Hello! Terrace chants are part of football's soul. But how do you know if they're crossing a line? And who decides? On the way: 🗣️ Liverpool's Chiesa song 💰 Another transfer record? ⚽ Crimes against multiball 💪 The secrets of Salah's abs The average football chant passes without much comment but from time to time, terrace songs ignite a legitimate debate over decency. I saw it with Leeds United and a song about Willy Gnonto, their Italian winger. Gnonto is black and the words of the song referred to his genitalia. Some thought this was funny. Others regarded it as a racist trope. I fell into the second group. Advertisement Simon Hughes is seeing it now with Liverpool and Federico Chiesa, albeit over a completely different subject. He wrote about it yesterday and the massive response to his column, both on The Athletic website and Simon's social media accounts, convinced us to devote some time to it in TAFC. Chiesa joined Liverpool from Juventus last year, the sole signing added to Arne Slot's squad in his first summer as head coach. He had been frozen out in Turin and Anfield has been a slow burn for him. The 27-year-old got a rare moment in the sun last Friday when his late goal set up a Premier League victory against Bournemouth. If you were watching, you might have heard the chant in question (sung to the tune of Dean Martin's Sway): 'We can hear them crying in Turin, Federico, he's here to win. One chat with Arne Slot and he said 'ciao', F*** off Juve, I'm a Kopite now…' One profanity aside, you'd write it off as gentle stuff — until you consider the history between Liverpool and Turin-based Juventus, and a stadium disaster that occurred 40 years ago. It's that context that has left Simon feeling uncomfortable and questioning the tone of the song. Liverpool and Juve met in the 1985 European Cup final at Heysel Stadium in the Belgian city of Brussels. Thirty-nine people, most of them Juve fans, died after a wall collapsed and crushed them. The ground was in poor repair but a factor in the tragedy was a group of Liverpool fans charging towards rival supporters amid scenes of violence. The Chiesa chant was not about Heysel, of course. To suggest a deliberate correlation would be wrong. But the point Simon makes is that 'crying in Turin' and the aggression in 'F*** off Juve' could be regarded as crass or insensitive in Italy, given the events of Heysel. With good reason, Liverpool have long railed against tasteless chants about the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, which cost the lives of 97 of their fans. Advertisement 'It would not take much to amend 'f*** off' with something such as 'later, Juve', or even 'arrivederci',' Simon wrote. 'I'm sure there's someone out there with a more creative mind than me who can play with the bit about 'crying in Turin'. It would be a small gesture but one that would go a long way.' The responses to his column were hugely divided, between those who agreed and those who felt their fun was being spoiled. You can read the many comments (more than 600 of them) and if you do, you'll share one of my conclusions: that the propriety of a chant often depends on who it is you're talking to. Power rankings — that moving gauge of who's hot and who's not — are part of the bread and butter of sports writing. Tim Spiers has given the concept a welcome twist by turning them into 'panic rankings' this morning. He went back over the first weekend of Premier League games and figured out who, among the 20 clubs, is most likely to be losing control of their bowels. His answer? Everton — and having watched the men in blue in the flesh on Monday night, I'd be worrying about them too. West Ham United (second in Tim's league of woe) were equally abysmal but I was caught out by Brentford sitting seventh, behind Chelsea and Crystal Palace. Brentford have taken an almighty punt on Keith Andrews (above) as head coach but as they fell apart at Nottingham Forest on Sunday, you could be forgiven for asking how long it would be before they were questioning their own wisdom. Let's see. Here's an unusual Premier League offence: crimes against multiball. And don't laugh, because Aston Villa falling foul of the rules has just cost them £125,000. The story broke late last week but I wanted to row back to it because it's a novel disciplinary case and I didn't realise that in breaching multiball regulations, Villa are serial offenders. Advertisement Multiball is a system whereby teams position numerous balls around their pitch, rather than using the same one for the entire 90 minutes of a match. It's supposed to speed up the flow of play. Naturally, you can't just do as you please. The balls have to be evenly spread and positioned on cones. And ball assistants (formerly known as ball boys) aren't allowed to help outfield players retrieve them. Villa contravened these restrictions last season, time and time again. The upshot is a six-figure fine and a ban on using multiball in their first three home matches of the new Premier League campaign. Mind how you go.

Rangers and Russell Martin… it's not going well. They're already four points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership's perennial two-horse race, and a 3-1 defeat against Belgium's Club Brugge at Ibrox last night means their hopes of Champions League qualification are on thin ice.

Chelsea handed Tosin Adarabioyo injury boost as defender set for training return
Chelsea have been handed a huge injury boost with Tosin Adarabioyo expected back to training this week. The defender was ruled out of Chelsea's opening game of the new Premier League season on Sunday - a 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace - with what Enzo Maresca described as a 'physical problem'. Sources close to the situation have since told Standard Sport that the issue is 'very minor' and the player was withdrawn from the matchday squad as a preventative measure. It came after he failed to complete the team's training session on Saturday. It is understood that the plan as things stand is for Tosin to return to training this week, though that has not been set in stone yet as he continues to be monitored closely. Tosin remains a doubt for Friday's trip to face West Ham at the London Stadium at this stage, but he is expected back playing soon. Speaking after the Palace draw, manager Enzo Maresca said: 'He had a physical problem. We don't know for how long [he will be out].' In his press conference on Friday, Maresca explained that he feels Tosin is the only centre-back at the club able to deputise for the injured Levi Colwill in the middle of Chelsea's back three when the team are in possession. He sees the former Fulham man as an important player and had to adapt by starting Josh Acheampong against Palace once it was then decided on Saturday that Tosin had to miss the match. Maresca has made it clear that he wants Chelsea to sign another centre-back to cover the loss of Colwill to an ACL injury that is set to keep him out of action for the majority of the season. Chelsea's hierarchy are less minded to oblige, however, and have faith in Maresca to use Tosin, Acheampong, new signing Jorrel Hato and others to find solutions from within.
