Tobias hits hat-trick as Hullbridge Sports bag FA Cup win
TOBIAS Braney hit a hat-trick to secure Hullbridge Sports a 3-1 win against Basildon United in an extra preliminary round FA Cup clash. Braney scored a trio of well-taken goals to send Sports through to the next round. And the striker was full of smiles at the final whistle. 'I live and breathe goals,' said Braney. 'A hat trick is a every striker's wish before a game so I was happy with that on a personal note and I am loving being back at Hullbridge.' 'In football it's important to be somewhere that you are appreciated but aside from this, I love the club as a whole and everything it is about.' Hullbridge fought back from a goal down to triumph at the TJ Cottis Stadium. And Braney believes Sports' first win of the season will make a big difference to the team. 'For us, of course the focus was to win the game and get into the next round but it was also deeper than this for us after a not so brilliant start for us in the league,' said the 21-year-old. 'A win was massively needed for our confidence and team morale, so I was extremely pleased for all of us.' Braney is now back at Hullbridge having finished last season playing for Cheshunt in the Isthmian Premier Division. And he is keen to build on Saturday's success and help Hullbridge work their way up the table. 'My hopes for this season are to get this club promoted,' said the Burnham on Crouch based forward. 'Whether this is by winning the league or play offs, I know it's possible and this is just one of the many reasons I've decided to come back.' Hullbridge will now be looking for another strong result when they head to Romford on Wednesday night in the Essex Senior League. Sports are currently bottom of the table having been beaten in their opening two league games and will now be desperate to pick up points. Basildon's cup defeat came just days after it was announced manager George Christou had left the club. A club statement confirmed: 'Due to circumstances beyond our control we have found it necessary to restructure the club's finances in order to safeguard the future of Basildon United Football Club - both in the short and long term. 'As a result of this difficult but essential decision we regret to announce that we are no longer in a position to support George Christou in his role as first team manager.' Michael Walther has been named as the new manager.

North Carolina QB Max Johnson says he feared he may lose leg after season-ending injury in 2024 opener
North Carolina quarterback Max Johnson said Saturday that he feared he could lose his right leg following a nasty injury against Minnesota. Johnson, the son of former NFL QB Brad Johnson, suffered a broken right leg in the Tar Heels' season opener against Minnesota in 2024. He said Saturday that he could feel his leg 'dangling' as he was helped off the field by trainers after the injury occurred, and there was a time after the injury that he wondered if he'd have to have his leg amputated. 'There was a point in time where I thought I was going to lose my leg,' Johnson said. 'Got blessed to be able to continue to play football and, man, what an honor it is just to be back playing.' Johnson said that he underwent five surgeries following the injury. He got hurt in the third quarter of the Tar Heels' loss when his leg bent awkwardly. He said he knew when his leg felt like it was dangling that it was an injury to his femur. 'I was just so joyful to be out [at practice on Saturday],' Johnson said. 'I couldn't stop smiling. It wasn't like there was such a mental block [with rehab], just the daily grind of kind of being in the training room and continuing to work on scar tissue massages, the STEM machines, the running on the water treadmill, it was just the daily grind that kind of helped me get over the mental block as you would say.' 'I didn't really have just like 'Oh I'm never going to be able to do this again' even though it took me a while to start walking. I remember taking my first steps and just being so happy in that moment. And man, I was just so happy to be out there today with my teammates again. I kind of felt like myself again.' Johnson is competing with South Alabama transfer Gio Lopez to be UNC's starting quarterback in Bill Belichick's first season. The former Texas A&M and LSU QB transferred to North Carolina after two seasons with the Tigers and two seasons with the Aggies. Over four seasons at the two SEC schools, he was 474-of-784 passing for 5,852 yards and 47 TDs with 12 interceptions.
