LR share spoils with Maine Road side

Atherton LR bounced back their weekend pre-season loss with a second-half comeback to take a 2-2 draw away from their home game against Maine Road on Tuesday night. Ahead of the game, LR announced the trialist goalkeeper who featured in the Bury and Barnton game, former Shakers Under-23s player Sam Jones, had now joined the club. The hosts started well against the Division One North side, although high pressing from the Maine Road forwards gave a sign of things to come LR struck first as on 25 minutes when Cal Hunter received a lofted ball from George Chadwick and made a quick turn to angle his body and bury the ball past the keeper's near post. Yellows defender Abiola Obasoto enjoyed a good game, not only defending well but making forward runs down the flanks and supplying chances. However, Maine Road would soon level as a passing triangle at the edge of the box was laid off to Sam Wrigley who with space, turned and curled a well-taken shot past Jones on 34 minutes. And only four minutes later the visitors were ahead when some poor man-marking by LR allowed James Horan to take a wild shot which bounced over Jones' head to put the Sky Blues in front. LR started more lively after the interval with the early introduction of Joe Bacon, Tom Lawless and Kieran Alley working well together on the flanks. Lawless faced a few chances supplied by Lenehan and Alley but all were agonisingly wide. That was until Alley made a brilliant run down the right and lifted a picture-perfect cross to Lawless whose header hit the back of the net 12 minutes from time to earn a share of the spoils. LR boss Dave Jones said: 'I saw the goals from the first-half and it's us not turning the ball over, not getting in the right positions and the transition not being good enough - so those are things we need to continue to work on.' LR will travel to Darwen on Saturday for their penultimate friendly (2pm).

Chargers first team to open training camp

July 16 - The Los Angeles Chargers will be the first NFL team to kick off training camp on Thursday, after rookies and select players reported last Saturday and veterans arrived on Wednesday. The Chargers and the Detroit Lions -- with rookies reporting on Thursday and veterans on duty starting Saturday -- will be the first two teams with their entire squads on site. The Chargers, who hold camp in El Segundo, Calif., and the Lions (Allen Park, Mich.) open the preseason with the NFL/Hall of Fame Game on July 31 in Canton, Ohio. Chargers starting linebacker Daiyan Henley, who had offseason shoulder surgery, said on Wednesday that he expects to be a full participant at training camp. Henley, 25, tore his labrum early in the 2024 campaign and still started all 17 games as well as the lone playoff game. He totaled 147 tackles, one interception, one sack and eight passes defended during the regular season. The 2025 regular season starts on Thursday, Sept. 4 with the Dallas Cowboys against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys will have their full squad on site on Monday, while the defending Super Bowl champions will do the same on Tuesday. The Kansas City Chiefs, who face the Chargers in the league's second regular-season game in Brazil on Sept. 5, will have their full squad on site on Monday. There will be 30 clubs fully reported by Tuesday, while the Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers are having players report on July 23. This year's training camps will feature 29 clubs scheduling joint practices with other teams, and 26 clubs (81.3 percent) will hold the majority of camp at their practice facility, home stadium or at a site within 10 miles of team headquarters. By comparison, 10 of the 31 teams in 2000 chose to stay home. Six clubs are holding camps away from their facilities: Buffalo Bills (Rochester, N.Y.), Cowboys (Oxnard, Calif.), Indianapolis Colts (Westfield, Ind.), Chiefs (St. Joseph, Mo.), Rams (Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles) and Steelers (Latrobe, Pa.). --Field Level Media
