Hampshire required 109 runs to win from their second innings but made hard work of it and were 52 for 7 at one stage as Liam Plunkett tore through the order, claiming 4 for 48.However, Dimitri Mascarenhas (33no) and Will Kendall (31no) stopped the rot and ensured Warne’s second-innings 5 for 68 was not in vain.Glamorgan’s attempt to secure victory ended in frustration as Derbyshire were able to bat out for a draw at Sophia Gardens.The Glamorgan captain, Robert Croft, declared at 323 for 4 in the morning session and then attempted to bowl the visitors out. She needs to get herself acclimatised to the Athens heat, so she’ll be going to the BOA camp in Cyprus.”Morris admitted that since she began serious training six months ago – up to 86 miles a week – she had found it increasingly hard to fit the running in around full-time work.But she has already spoken to her employers and the prospects of sympathetic treatment appear good. “He said they will support me and I think I will get some time off,” she said She has certainly earned it.. Paul Weekes contributed in all departments as Middlesex launched their County Championship campaign with 12 points from a draw with Warwickshire in their First Division game at Edgbaston. His best bowling performance for almost three years was also supplemented by an athletic catch at second slip to dismiss the tail-ender Neil Carter as Warwickshire wasted an opportunity to claim maximum batting bonus points.The home side scored at around five runs an over in cruising past 250 with only four wickets down but crumbled for 317.Given a lead of 115, Middlesex opted to turn the final session into a pointless exercise. “I have always watched the Olympics, but I certainly never thought I would be going there,” she said “You were in awe of people who were taking part in it They are the ?te athletes. So this is just amazing.”She and her husband Paul, who completed Sunday’s race in 4hr 45min, more than two hours slower than his wife, had celebrated modestly the previous night – “I had a few glasses of wine,” she said brightly – and were setting off back home on the train yesterday afternoon.Mr Morris was finding the fuss over Mrs Morris as bemusing as she was, having been made aware of her performance on his mobile phone in the second half of his race “It has been fantastic,” he said “But there’s a lot of hard work to be done now.

You’ve got to be able to forget about the exterior things and focus on the job in hand.”You get some people who have been internationals for a long time, but they kind of wilt as much as anyone that’s a newcomer. It’s just down to the individual concerned.”It was a typically honest assessment from Brown, who has settled his differences with the London organisers after complaining in midweek that he was being offered no appearance money. Yesterday, the race organiser, Dave Bedford, announced that the event was funding all three athletes who clinched selection on Sunday – Morris, Brown and Dan Robinson – with training grants of $7,500 (£4,100), an award which will also go to the pacemaker Liz Yelling, who was named along with last year’s champion Paula Radcliffe.Morris looked suitably grave as she contemplated what her new life as an Olympic athlete would involve. Also, just preparing for the Olympic Games takes a lot of mental energy because it is such a huge event.”When you get into the Olympic village, the pressure of the event hits you It can be overwhelming But you’ve got to try and treat it like any other race. Tracey Morris began to get a measure of what being an Olympic athlete will involve yesterday after her spectacular effort in Sunday’s London Marathon was officially rewarded with a place in the British team for Athens. He entered her among the elite starters after she had failed to gain a place in the marathon’s lottery system. She warmed up for the event by running the Salford 10K on Easter Monday, winning a £50 clothes voucher On Sunday, she won £3,600..

If she has to spend weeks or months away from home training then that’s fine by me. It’s an experience you have got to go through, once in a lifetime.”Asked what he thought was the secret of his wife’s success, he said: “She has stepped up training and taken it a bit more seriously but I think it is mainly God-given ability.”By lunchtime yesterday the couple were heading home to Leeds by train where they planned an early night at their home in Alwoodley, Leeds.Mrs Morris’s potential was spotted months ago by a scout for the Great Britain athletics team. “He has got a great chance of becoming a top-16 player and if he continues to play like that, who knows?”McCulloch, who now faces the Glaswegian Alan McManus for a place in the quarter-finals, said: “When the draw was made I knew I was in for a tough match because Peter has been playing well. However, after stealing the 15th frame with a 57 clearance to black to lead 8-7, the wheels fell off for the Wellingborough star.”I did come here in form but I have been beaten by an outstanding performance,” Ebdon said. I welcome this referendum on the European constitution.
I welcome it because it is time the Prime Minister came out fighting. He came to power promising to put us at the “heart of Europe”. But his record has been lamentable – allowing his neighbour in Number 11 to dictate the pace over entry into the euro and his “friend” in Washington to divide us from European allies over Iraq.The Liberal Democrats have long argued that we need a constitution to define the powers of the European Union A written constitution performs two key functions.
