Setback for jockey Eldin Webber's title hopes
Gqeberha-based jockey Eldin Webber was well on his way to the local Eastern Cape title, but has suffered a huge setback. A broken leg has put an end to his season after an incident on Monday morning at Fairview when he got kicked by a horse. 'The operation went well. They cut the muscle out and put the bones together. 'It was a clean break and no pins were needed,' Webber said. He explained that the incident happened when he was doing riding work. 'The horse behind me was a bit temperamental with the rider aboard. 'I moved out of the way to let them pass, but as I moved away, the horse started to kick me and broke my leg.' Eldin was already in good spirits when he was visited by the other Fairview jockeys at the Greenacres Hospital. He was jokingly asking which rides he will take up next week, but unfortunately he can now only sit and wait to see what happens in the title race. 'If they can't catch me, then I don't know. They are four winners behind me, and there are still two months of the season left. 'If I do win it in the end, it will be a gift from God. That's how I see it,' Webber said. Doctor Shaun January said Webber was expected to be discharged from the hospital on Wednesday. 'His recovery process will be 8 to 10 weeks,' he said. The title race is now wide open. Webber has ridden 15 winners, but three jockeys are in the chasing pack. Charles Ndlovu, Sandile Khathi and Yuzae Ramzan have all ridden 11 winners. Stallone Naidoo (8) and last season's champion, Kendall Minnie (6), have the more difficult task of catching Webber. The Herald

40-foot sculpture immortalizes an Indigenous legend in Vancouver's Fairview
A Coast Salish public sculpture has been installed at the West Broadway and Granville Street intersection in Fairview. A new public art installation inspired by a Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) folktale has been unveiled in Vancouver's Fairview neighbourhood. The 40-foot-tall sculpture has been installed at the intersection of West Broadway and Granville Street and will welcome guests into The Stories at South Granville Station, a 39-storey mixed-use highrise due to open next month. A collaboration between Squamish Nation visual artist James Nexw'Kalus-Xwalacktun Harry and multidisciplinary artist Lauren Brevner, the piece pays homage to Sínulhḵay, a supernatural double-headed serpent shared within the oral histories of the Squamish, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. 'We all have our different versions, but the essence of the story is that Sínulhḵay came through the lands here and left marks all over the region,' says Nexw'Kalus-Xwalacktun, son of famed Squamish Nation artist and master carver Xwalacktun. 'There's this story of the good and bad and the choices that we all have to make. It's an example of how you have to go through your life making a choice between these two polar different decisions.' A common thread within those stories was of the double-headed serpent Sínulhḵay boring tunnels underneath underneath False Creek to connect various sites across the region - a fitting tribute given the location of the piece will also be home to the upcoming South Granville Station. First Nations sculpture in Fairview A rendering of the finished Indigenous sculpture, Sínulhḵay. The sculpture connects Nexw'Kalus-Xwalacktun's Indigenous artistry with Brevner's Japanese-Trinidadian cultural heritage, combining both metal and reclaimed, charred red cedar and showcasing a blackened interior that nods to the traditional Japanese technique of wood preservation, yakisugi. Both artists, who met while studying at New Westminster Secondary School, have been collaborating for over ten years and describe the project as the crux of their artistic partnership. 'All of our collaborative work is that intersectional dialogue between Indigenous and non-Indigenous and, in simple terms, it's about just meeting in the middle,' says Brevner. 'How can we move forward together finding the similarities as opposed to the differences? As a settler, how do we find that path forward? In order to do that, you need to know the history,' she said, adding how it is the responsibility of settlers to know the stories of the people 'who have stewarded this land since time immemorial.' Sínulhḵay adds to the growing presence of Indigenous artworks in Vancouver, and across B.C., that aren't just playing a crucial role in reconciliation but are also preserving the First Nations cultural identity and heritage that was almost lost during colonization. Nexw'Kalus-Xwalacktun says he hopes the pieces incite respect and joy, alongside a thirst for education on the stories and tales that make up Vancouver for those both Indigenous and non-Indigenous living in, or visiting, the city. 'There just isn't a lot of our artwork left, and it's been a real struggle for Coast Salish people to reclaim that because a lot of it was lost. It's only within the last decade or so that we're really starting to notice our people grasp that and understand it themselves,' he says. 'There's really so many beautiful stories, and the artwork itself is so beautiful, and it's just such a shame to almost have seen it disappear. Now we're really celebrating the fact that there's this resurgence and building of the Indigenous identity of the city.'

Fairview Rangers claim tenth FAI Junior Cup title with win over North End United
The Limerick giants maintained their extraordinary unbeaten record in FAI Junior Cup Finals, showcasing their renowned cup pedigree in front of a passionate crowd. The early stages were keenly contested, but Fairview suffered a blow in the 21st minute when influential captain Shane Duggan was forced off due to injury, replaced by Shane Carmody. However, his teammates responded positively. Just four minutes later, the deadlock was broken in spectacular fashion. Oleg Vysochan delivered an impressive chipped cross into the area, which Jeffrey Judge expertly chested down before unleashing a superb half-volley into the net, giving Fairview a crucial 25th-minute lead. North End United weathered the storm but almost fell further behind just before the break. In an incredible series of events in the 44th minute, North End keeper Jason Maguire found himself stranded outside his area. Gbadebo Habideen had the goal at his mercy, but his initial effort struck the post. The ball was recycled to Judge, whose cross found Adam Dore. Dore's header was parried, falling again to Habideen but the forward was once more unable to convert, leaving Fairview just one ahead at the break. The Wexford side emerged for the second half with renewed intent. Gary Delaney came agonisingly close to levelling in the 52nd minute, his header from a corner flashing narrowly wide. A minute later, Eoin Rhodes burst through on goal, but his low shot was well saved by Fairview's Josh McCarthy. North End's pressure eventually told in the 59th minute. A corner into the Fairview box wasn't cleared effectively, and the ball fell kindly to defender Reece Murphy inside the six-yard area, who made no mistake, firing home to equalise and send their supporters into raptures. However, Fairview Rangers, drawing on their vast experience, reasserted their authority. In the 73rd minute, from a corner of their own, Jason Cross rose highest to power a header home off the underside of the crossbar, restoring their advantage. The Limerick side then moved to secure their historic victory. Substitute Josh McCarthy, just two minutes after his introduction in the 81st minute, found the net in the 83rd minute to extend Fairview's lead to 3-1. As the game entered stoppage time, Fairview added a fourth. Brilliant work from Habideen saw his initial shot saved, but fellow substitute Ruben McCarthy was on hand to fire home the rebound in the 95th minute, sealing a memorable 4-1 triumph and sparking jubilant scenes among the Fairview players and supporters. Fairview Rangers: J McCarthy (GK), Dillon, Ahern (Curran 67), Kavanagh, Cross, Judge (R. McCarthy 90), Duggan (C) (Carmody 21), McNamara (J McCarthy 81), Habideen, Vysochan, Dore (O'Neill 72). North End United: Maguire (GK), Yousif, Hynes, R. Murphy, Delaney, A. Rhodes (Dempsey 80), Paige, Peare, E. Rhodes, P. Murphy (C), Kane (McCabe 46).

Limerick's Fairview Rangers win FAI Junior Cup for tenth time
FAI Junior Cup final: Fairview Rangers 4 North End United 1 Fairview Rangers are FAI Junior Cup champions for the tenth time following a 4-1 victory over North End United at Turner's Cross. Second half goals from Jason Cross, Josh McCarthy, and Rubin McCarthy were the difference, and that means the trophy is going to Limerick for the first time in five years. North End United set up a big finish after Reece Murphy equalised following Jeffery Judge's opener, but it wasn't to be for a team managed by Gary Dempsey, an FA Youth Cup winner with Everton. The Wexford kingpins, fresh from retaining their Premier Division crown, started fast by putting an inviting cross into the box and that was almost turned in by Cross. This burst faded into a period of uncertainty for Fairview Rangers as their captain, former Cork City and Limerick FC midfielder Shane Duggan, went off injured. They came through the challenge and managed to set up Judge for a close range finish at the St Anne's End in the 25th minute. An opportunity to double Fairview's lead fell to Cian Kavanagh after the restart and the midfielder kicked the ball straight at Jason Maguire. Gbadebo Habideen also found himself in space during this period, and the striker fired wide from right in front of the posts. Fairview finished the half by creating two quick opportunities inside the box for Habideen and Adam Dore, and these were blocked down. The game restarted with North End United winning a corner and Gary Delaney headed this narrowly wide. Paul Murphy also broke through the Fairview midfield during this spell and the forward's shot went straight into the hands of Josh McCarthy. Something was coming and it arrived from a corner after Paul Murphy knocked the ball on and Reece Murphy got in to score in the 59th minute. What got Fairview over the line were the changes, as North End pushed for another equaliser, Cross headed in a corner in the 73rd minute. The next time they got in that position, Oleg Vysochan found Josh McCarthy and the substitute side footed the ball in at the Shed End. Fairview had one more in them, and that came from a neat moving involving Habideen. The striker dribbled into the area and saw his attempt saved by an onrushing Maguire. The loose ball went out to Rubin McCarthy, who hit the back of the net from right in front of the posts in the sixth minute of time added on. FAIRVIEW RANGERS: Josh McCarthy; Jake Dillon, Brian Ahern (Blake Curran 67), Conor Kavanagh, Jason Cross, Jeffery Judge (Rubin McCarthy 90), Shane Duggan (Shane Carmody 21), Cian McNamara (Josh McCarthy 81), Gbadebo Habideen, Oleg Vysochan, Adam Dore (Daniel O'Neill 71). NORTH END UNITED: Jason Maguire; Ayman Yousif, Todd Hynes, Reece Murphy, Gary Delaney, Alan Rhodes (Shane Dempsey 80), Ciaran Paige, John Pearce, Eoin Rhodes, Paul Murphy, Robert Kane (Craig McCabe HT).
