Wrexham men and women set for The Soccer Tournament in US
Last summer, a friendly between the sides kicked-off Wrexham's unbeaten Wrex Coast Tour ahead of their promotion-winning League One campaign. And the clubs are all set to clash again next week when the Soccer Tournament (TST) gets underway in North Carolina - with Ben Tozer set to pull on a Wrexham shirt once more. For the third consecutive year, Wrexham Red Dragons take their spot in the event, which will be played in Cary, and the men continue their tilt at the $1 million prize against Bournemouth in their second Group F game on Wednesday, June 4. The Dragons will open their tournament against Real Athletico earlier in the day, while the group is completed by the CONCAFA SC. Wrexham Red Dragons women are also set for the competition, which starts in Group B with a clash versus Ultrain FC. Kansas City II and Drunken Monkeys are the other two teams in the group. 'TST soccer is electrifying,' said TST CEO Jon Mugar. 'Our goal is to become the preeminent soccer festival in the world. Judging by the number of returning fans and teams, we are well on our way. 'We have doubled the size of the women's field and a record 64 teams will compete in Cary. I can't wait to see the level of competition this June!' Wrexham Red Dragons men advanced to the round of 16 in both 2023 and 2024, scoring more goals than any other team in TST history. Goalkeeper Mark Howard has been a standout figure, keeping clean sheets and scoring clutch Target Score Time goals. Another impressive player has been striker George Boyd, holding the title of the tournament's all-time leading scorer with 11 goals. Former club captain Tozer, who this week announced his retirement, will represent Wrexham at the tournament. Men's squad: Aaron James; Abraham Rodriguez; Alex Moore; Ben Tozer; Brandon Barker; Callum Edwards; David Jones; George Boyd; Harry Ashfield; Jake Hyde; Liam McAlinden; Marc Albrighton; Navid Nasseri; Sak Hassan; Thomas Kelly; Yannick Parkes.

Want to showcase Indian football with West Ham: Rahul KP
Rahul KP will represent West Ham at The Soccer Tournament (TST) in the US next month Panaji: Rahul KP can already feel the weight of the West Ham United jersey. Ever since the Premier League club announced that the Odisha FC winger will represent them at The Soccer Tournament (TST) in the United States next month, Rahul's phone hasn't stopped buzzing, with messages and calls. Whenever he steps out, youngsters back home in Kerala look at him in awe. 'A lot of people think that I'll play in the Premier League, while others think it's just a seven-a-side tournament and it's no big deal,' Rahul told TOI on Wednesday over a video call. 'But I look at it differently. This is an opportunity for me to showcase Indian football , show the world what we can do. Whenever I go outside (the house), I meet a lot of kids who are amazed that I'll play for West Ham at TST. They want to do that one day.' Not everyone gets to play at TST, dubbed the most exciting and highest stakes 7v7 football festival in the world, where legends, celebrities, and professionals battle for the prize money of a million dollars. At West Ham, Rahul will be joined by club legend Anton Ferdinand as player-coach, former Wales international James Collins, besides teammates Ricardo Vaz Te (Portugal) and Mauro Zarate (Argentina). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Rahul, 25, is the only player from Asia in the team and the first Indian to feature for the Premier League club at TST. 'West Ham were looking to recruit a player from Asia. For me, Rahul stood out as the ideal candidate as he is one of the most exciting young talents in India, with all the attributes required to succeed in European football. I also saw this as a pivotal chance to help an Indian player make an international impact and, in addition, help put Indian football firmly on the global map,' said Odisha CEO Raj Athwal, who was approached by the EPL club due to his longstanding involvement in English football. For Rahul, it's a dream come true. 'It's a big move because growing up as a kid, I always dreamed about playing for a big club in Europe. When you start playing football, big European clubs come to mind. You want to wear their jersey, represent them, go out there and play. I want to make an impression, hopefully also inspire a generation (of Indian players),' said Rahul. At TST, the Indian winger will rub shoulders with some big names which includes the likes of Argentina legend Sergio Aguero, Portugal's Luis Nani and Italian maverick Mario Balotelli, all playing for Aguero Team. Rahul wants to put his best foot forward and ensure that he grab, with both hands, whatever opportunities the event throws at him. 'It's not just a 7v7 tournament. It's a place where some big names will assemble. Maybe I can get some contacts, talk to people, get a trial, or even a chance to train with West Ham in London,' said Rahul, who has made seven appearances for the senior national team. Despite featuring at TST for the first time, Rahul is unlikely to feel out of place. He's grown up playing Sevens, a cultural staple in Kerala, where football rests high up on social priorities. He himself hails from Thrissur in northern Kerala, a region where Sevens is a way of life. 'I can never forget where I come from,' said Rahul. 'I wouldn't have been here if there was no Sevens in Kerala. I wouldn't have been here if there was no five or three-a-side football because I wasn't born as an ISL or national team player. Sevens helped me a lot. It made me physically strong, helped lose fear since we were up against bigger players, involved in duels all the time. As a kid, we never dreamed of playing for the national team or club, it was always Sevens. We always thought about Sevens and floodlight football.' For Rahul, Sevens football now takes an entirely different meaning.

Push to change system after Bondi attack
Paramedics responding to the fatal Westfield Bondi Junction stabbing rampage were so committed to their patients they found it difficult to move on, with an inquest told an international tool to triage patients could have been significantly beneficial on the day of the attack. Dawn Singleton, Yixuan Cheng, Faraz Ahmed Tahir, Ashlee Good, Jade Young and Pikria Darchia were all killed by Joel Cauchi at Westfield Bondi Junction on April 13, 2024, before he was then shot dead by police. A coronial inquest into the attack was told some paramedics were hesitant to move on as they were so committed to treating their patients on the day of the fatal attack, with experts convening on Friday to discuss the benefits of implementing a UK innovation coined the ten second triage (TST) tool in NSW. Bondi stabbing victims (top l-r) Jade Young, Ashlee Good, Dawn Singleton, (bottom l-r) Cheng Yixuan, Faraz Tahir and Pikria Darchia. Credit: Supplied The TST allows first responders to triage patients within 10 seconds. First responders walk through a series of rapid steps to triage a patient, with prompts including is the person walking, talking or breathing. Patients are then quickly assessed as priority one or priority two, and lifesaving interventions are carried out. Emergency medicine expert Phil Cowburn told the court that seconds was simply a guideline: for instance, patients who are walking can be triaged in less than 10 seconds, while it may take longer to check if a patient has penetrating injuries and such. 'You shouldn't stop at 10 seconds, you should carry on until the lifesaving interventions are done, but on average when looking at a large number of patients … it takes on average 10 seconds per patient to triage,' Dr Cowburn told the court. Joel Cauchi stabbed 16 people, killing six, on April 13, 2024. Supplied. Credit: Supplied The tool includes triaging patients as a 'category silver' rather than 'deceased'. Dr Cowburn explained that a patient may have been declared dead under previous triage tools; however, it was a 'very quick decision to make under a lot of stress'. 'It felt inappropriate to us that we were putting our responders under that level of pressure to make that decision quickly,' Dr Cowburn told the inquest. A category silver allows the chance for resuscitation to be given if felt appropriate and for any responder – not just healthcare professionals – to make that decision. Dr Cowburn also said bystanders would not be stopped from applying aid to someone triaged as a category silver. 'No patient would inadvertently be declared deceased if that was perhaps not appropriate,' Dr Cowburn said. The first responding paramedic and forward commander on the day of the attack, Brett Simpson, earlier agreed that TST could have been useful in responding to the Bondi attack, particularly the use of category silver. Counsel assisting the coroner Peggy Dwyer SC earlier said one reason for the category silver was to combat the adverse impact on first responders in having to make the declaration of deceased. While Inspector Simpson said this wasn't a 'problem' on the day of the fatal attack, it was 'definitely a factor'. 'Our crews are very well trained, but in a situation like that when their bandwidth is completely and wholly exceeded by the environment that they're in, some of them potentially may not have felt comfortable in making that declaration,' he said. Counsel assisting the coroner Peggy Dwyer SC. NewsWire / Monique Harmer Credit: News Corp Australia 'That's a role that I ended up performing as I approached some of the crews that were treating some of the victims that did not survive … being able to take that burden off of those crews meant that they were able to regain some of their bandwidth, effectively conserve some of their supplies, and move on and treat other patients.' It is not suggested paramedics did not adequately perform their duties, nor that any lives could have been saved. The inquest is a learning exercise for any future mass tragedy. Police officers on scene at the Bondi attack may have been able to help paramedics identify patients who were a priority and of silver category quicker, improving situational awareness on the day of the Bondi attack, the court was told on Friday. Emergency physician Stefan Mazur said 'the current triage system, whilst works OK – even in exercise it kind of works OK – but under pressure it does tend to not work as well as you like'. The inclusion of lifesaving interventions, and giving other responders such as police the language to communicate what resources are needed for the patients in front of them, were some benefits highlighted by NSW Ambulance acting executive director of medical services and research Thomas Evens. 'Collectively … the TST package I think would have a significant impact on the capability of the NSW government's response to patients in an incident such as (Bondi),' Dr Evens said. However, he noted it would be 'quite a fundamental change in the way emergency services undertake their activity' and would need to be implemented across all emergency services with joint emergency services interoperability principles. Inspector Simpson earlier told the court that it was an impressive tool and 'takes the clinical aspect out of it'. 'You could effectively train anyone in this room on how to then triage a patient and then provide that information to a clinician as they approach,' he said. Police are generally on scene first and were at the shopping centre in large numbers on April 13, 2024. Inspector Simpson said giving police the tools to notify paramedics what category of patients were inside the centre may have been able to help with resource allocation. mental health support
