Work completed on football club's new road in Mousehole

BBC News3 days ago
Work to create a new access road for a football club has been completed in time for the start for the new season. Mousehole AFC will now have direct access to the nearby B3315, after previously having a small single-lane track which had become pothole-ridden. The club failed to raise the reported six-figure funds needed to build the road for Interiora Trungle Parc and The Prince of Wales saw a newspaper story about the club's struggles and set up a consortium of businesses to fund the project in full. Project lead Simon Taylor said after "months of hard work behind the scenes, and a month of incredible effort" seeing the road completed was "a real pinch-me moment".
Mr Taylor said: "As a club we could not be more pleased, and I know that the local residents will soon see the benefits of this new access and from speaking to many, I know how much this will change their lives for the better."Thank you to everyone who has made this happen, and of course, a special mention to HRH Prince Wales for getting this momentous project underway." It's hoped the new road will reduce congestion in the nearby village of Paul and provide easier access for supporters. Work has finished and the road will be open for the club's FA Cup fixture against Bridgwater United on Saturday afternoon.

Rio Ferdinand fires warning to Eberechi Eze over Arsenal transfer this summer

Rio Ferdinand has warned Eberechi Eze he may struggle for game time if he joins Arsenal from Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window. Eze has been strongly linked to Arsenal ahead of the new Premier League season and the player is thought to be keen on a switch to north London. Arsenal are reluctant to pay Eze's £68m price tag – but believe they can negotiate a lower fee before the summer window closes on September 1. Eze has established himself as one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League, helping Palace land a historic FA Cup trophy last term. The 27-year-old has played a total of 167 games for Palace to date, registering 40 goals and 28 assists for the south London club.

While agreeing personal terms with Arsenal is unlikely to be a significant issue, former Manchester United defender Ferdinand, who works as a football pundit, has told the Englishman to think twice about a transfer. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ferdinand said: 'I don't think [Arsenal] need Eze. Why do [Arsenal] need Eze? Where is he going to play? 'You've got Martin Zubimendi as a holding midfielder, Declan Rice on the left-hand side of the No.8, Martin Odegaard on the right-hand side. 'Then you've got a winger – out of Noni Madueke or Gabriel Martinelli… He'd play where Declan Rice plays.' Analysis from Sports Editor James Goldman… It was almost impressive that after spending nearly £200m on new blood that the Gunners looked so distinctly recognisable in their 1-0 pre-season defeat to Tottenham. A lack of invention and reliance on Bukayo Saka, allied to the traditional Gabriel Martinelli off, Leandro Trossard on substitution had fans despairing. It's obvious why Arsenal supporters are crying out for Eberechi Eze. Quizzed if the move made sense for Arsenal, Ferdinand agreed, arguing that Eze's potential arrival would give the Gunners more depth. He also said that Eze could fit in the Arsenal XI if Rice was deployed as the defensive midfielder instead of new signing Martin Zubimendi. 'If Declan Rice played as a holding midfielder, I'd take Eze in a heartbeat,' Ferdinand added. More Trending 'Yeah, he would give [Arsenal] depth. You could move it about. If Declan Rice gets injured, who have you got? Max Dowman.' Arsenal feel Eze's best position is when he operates as a No.10 but also view him as a versatile attacking player who can be deployed on the left. It's also reported that Arsenal are looking to sell a forward before making a formal move for Eze. Meanwhile, it should be noted that Palace chairman Steve Parish has currently shown no indication he would be open to negotiating a lower price for Eze.

Hearts 2-0 Aberdeen: What McInnes said

Hearts manager Derek McInnes: "We got the outcome we wanted."Every manager wants to get the first win as soon as possible and I thought we were thoroughly deserving."We came out the traps strongly and were probably worthy of probably going into half-time a couple of goals ahead."I don't think we were brilliant second half, but when we got the second goal we managed the game brilliantly from there."It was a tough game as you'd expect against Aberdeen. What we've got in there is a bunch of lads who are screaming to do well, fully motivated."We can play better, but it was a good start. We'll take the three points and move on."

Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi make transfer decisions amid Arsenal and Liverpool interest

FA Cup holders Crystal Palace have plenty of interests in a couple of their stars ahead of the new season but it appears that the Eagles could actually end up keeping them Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi have not ruled out staying at Crystal Palace despite interest from Arsenal and Liverpool. The Eagles pair were expected to be on the move this summer after the club lifted the FA Cup last season. ‌ Arsenal were eyeing the England winger as a potential wide recruit despite the signing of Noni Madueke from Chelsea. Meanwhile, Liverpool put Guehi on their shortlist as a potential replacement for Jarell Quansah - who completed a £35m move to German side Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer. ‌ Despite the pair having suitors, it is not guaranteed that they depart. According to The Sun, Palace have not received any firm offers for either Eze or Guehi and they are in no rush to cash in on either. ‌ Guehi has just a year remaining on his contract at Selhurst Park and it looks more likely that he could leave for free in just 12 months' time. And should he do that, it could potentially open the door to moves to Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid. In the meantime, Eze could also remain in South London despite Arsenal's interest. The wide man is interested in a move to the Emirates but the Gunners are not yet prepared to activate his £68m release clause, which could see them move onto alternative targets. Fresh developments over Eze and Guehi's stances are at odds with chairman Steve Parish's approach last summer after he claimed he was shocked that Eze remained. He also underlined his willingness to do business with the Premier League 's big hitters. "I was really worried from a club point of view of losing Michael and Ebbs in the same window and we didn't have in Ebbs the interest that I thought we would have," Parish told Sky Sports News. "I was astounded. Genuinely astounded. I mean, the guy's just an outstanding footballer, an outstanding person.' ‌ He added: 'We want to be selling to the top clubs, or to clubs like Newcastle who've got great aspirations and have recently been in the Champions League. "So we have to manage all of those things. We won't get really great young talent to come to us if they think they're going to be stuck." "We want to be playing in the Champions League,' Parish said. 'The reality is we don't right now. That's what players want to achieve in their career and we respect that and we respect the fact that sometimes we're going to be a pathway to that."
