Pring could be fit to face Blades in play-offs
Pring could be fit to face Blades in play-offs [Rex Features] Bristol City boss Liam Manning says there is a "slight possibility" wing-back Cameron Pring could be fit to face Sheffield United in the Championship play-off semi-final first leg. Pring missed the last two games of the regular season with a hamstring injury having started eight of the previous 10 league matches. The Robins welcome the Blades to Ashton Gate on Thursday and have no fresh injury concerns, according to Manning. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement "Everyone came through Saturday OK," he told BBC Radio Bristol. "Cameron Pring, there is a slight possibility of him playing, we have to weigh up the risk of all of it. We will see how he responds. "Most of our lads can play two positions which is important when you run a small squad." Ross McCrorie started at left wing-back in Pring's absence and scored both goals in City's 2-2 draw with Preston on Saturday. But McCrorie is naturally a right-sided player, while Yu Hirakawa also impressed filling in at right wing-back. "I will be awake for the next few nights trying to pick a team," Manning added.

Tracie Harrison, 47, was in charge of her dog named Fade when she and another woman launched a brutal attack on Michelle Pring, during which Ms Pring begged "somebody please help me". A woman suffered significant injuries after she was mauled by a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and attacked by its owner, leaving her "petrified" of dogs.

During the attack, Fade began attacking the Ms Pring, and locked its jaws on her arms and legs, leaving her with multiple puncture wounds, reports the Mirror. On Thursday, May 1, a sentencing hearing at Newport Crown Court heard Ms Pring was walking along Heol Trelai, in Caerau, with a man when she came across the defendant and another woman. Harrison was in possession of Fade who was on a lead. An argument soon turned violent and Harrison launched a savage physical attack on Ms Pring, starting by pulling her hair. Ms Pring tried to escape into a nearby garden but she was followed by Harrison and the other woman, who continued to hit and kick her. As the attack progressed, Fade also started to attack her by bitting her legs. She described the pain and said it felt like the dog was "eating her". She screamed at the defendant "Please Trace, he's chewing my legs, get him off me, somebody please help me." but Harrison made "minimal efforts" to stop Fade from attacking Ms Pring. As the victim attempted to protect herself, the dog bit her left arm and began mauling her. Ms Pring said she believes she passed out and cannot remember when the dog stopped or where it went. A neighbour caught the terrifying attack on camera, and the footage was played to the court. The victim was rushed to hospital to receive treatment for her injuries sustained in the attack. She had a cut to her forehead and right eye, wounds and puncture marks to her left arm and legs, and a deep wound to the inside and outside of her right muscle, extending into the muscle. As a result of her injuries, she suffered permanent scars to her left arm and legs. Harrison, of Heol Trelai, later pleaded guilty to being the owner of a dog dangerously out of control and causing injury. The court heard she has 13 previous convictions, including for an offence of being the owner of a dog dangerously out of control and causing injury in 2015, reports WalesOnline In a victim personal statement read to the court by Alex Orndal, Ms Pring said: "This attack has totally turned my life upside down, it's been more than a year since the attack but I still feel its impact every day... I still have scars and every day I see them it reminds me of the sheer pain and agony I was in. It brings back the trauma of that night. "I have been unable to wear a skirt or go swimming. Comments and questions are a painful reminder of what happened and I think of that night all the time. I don't want to go out in the dark, especially on my own and I have to have someone with me. If someone runs up behind me I am so scared and anxious and looking over my shoulder to see if anybody is behind me. "Every time I see a dog I am petrified and worry they will savage me again. If I had to go through something like this again, it would be game over and I will die. I think that every time I see a dog. "This has impacted me in a large way. What right did those people have to attack me and that dog to savage me. I will live with the physical scars for the rest of my life. I want the people responsible to know how much they have impacted my life." In mitigation, Kirsten Murphy said her client was "remorseful" for inability to control the dog, and added: "She is shocked the dog she loved so much became aggressive and behaved in the way she did." The court heard that prior to the savage attack Harrison had owned Fade for nine years and in that time had no cause for concern. The barrister said Harrison had raised her children as a single parent and suffered domestic abuse at the hands of her partner. She has mental health difficulties following the death of her sister and has anxiety and depression. The court heard Harrison was "terrified" of being sent to prison as she was due to become a grandmother for the first time and didn't want to miss the birth. Ms Murphy added: "She is heartbroken over the destruction of the dog, one she loved for many years, but the destruction order is not opposed as she doesn't want to put any members of the public at risk." Harrison was sentenced to two years in prison by Judge Carl Harrison who disqualified the defendant from having custody of a dog for 15 years and approved a destruction order in respect of Fade.

Community pleads for action on youth crime
A torrent of youth crime has prompted locals in a northern NSW town to set up an urgent meeting with officials, residents and councillors to address the dangerous escalation in violence. Members from both sides of state and federal politics, all Moree Plains Shire councillors and senior officers from NSW Police have been invited to the meeting, set to take place on March 1 in Moree. 'It's statewide, and national wide, but the situation is bad in Moree and is progressively getting worse, with thefts and home invasions,' meeting organiser and local resident Col Pring said. He added that the local community feel 'scared' and 'worried about what other people might do.' 'People are wondering, will they be the next one to have a home invasion? Will their car be stolen? Will they be bashed in their own home? 'It's not going to change overnight, but we want to get the wheels rolling at least.' The aim of the meeting is to discuss strategies to crime prevention and reduction, support victims of crime and community-based initiatives for rehabilitation and reintegration. 'In our little group who have organised this, it's only half a dozen of us. We don't have a political agenda. We just what's best for our community,' Mr Pring said. 'We want to be heard and we want to see change.' The meeting also aims to support the Regional Youth Crime Reform Bill pushed by Northern Tablelands MP Brendan Moylan in parliament last week. The bill proposes key changes to support stronger bail laws for serious repeat juvenile offenders and require courts to place greater weight on the impact on the victim when sentencing an offender. The urgent calls for reform comes a week after Moree local Joy Cunningham, 95, had her home burnt down in an aged care facility. Earlier this month, the death of 52-year-old Daniel McNamara who was allegedly hit and killed by three teenagers in an allegedly stolen ute, alongside a spate of break-and-enters in early February. Following Mr McNamara's death, NSW Premier Chris Minns to announce an additional $2 million in funding to address the issue. 'These are very challenging times for Moree … we have not made the inroads we had hoped to have made when it comes to persistent reoffending,' the premier said. 'We are making a decision to put in unprecedented resources both for police, bail accommodation and support services.' Mr Minns also announced an extension to bail laws that make it harder for repeat offenders to be released from custody while going through court. 'It's clear that the police have been able to identify, arrest and put before the courts individuals, often young, people who are accused of very serious crimes,' Minns said in February.
