Speed set to be appointed as new Sheffield United boss” plus 2 more- Gary Speed set to be appointed as new Sheffield United boss - Top 14 Review: Champions Clermont defeated in opener - Swimming: British women dominate but France top table Gary Speed set to be appointed as new Sheffield United boss Posted: 16 Aug 2010 11:45 AM PDT Former Wales midfielder Gary Speed is expected to be unveiled as the new Sheffield United manager on Tuesday. Speed reportedly met Blades chairman Kevin McCabe and chief executive Trevor Birch to discuss his first management role on Monday. The 40-year-old made 38 appearances for Sheffield United since joining in 2008 before retiring due to injury. Kevin Blackwell was sacked on Sunday following a number of disappointing results including a comprehensive 3-0 defeat to Queen’s Park Rangers at Bramall Lane. The former Leeds United manager had led The Blades into the 2009 play-offs but suffered a disappointing defeat to Burnley in the final at Wembley. A club statement read: “Sheffield United has called a press conference for Tuesday afternoon when the new manager will be announced. “The identity of Kevin Blackwell’s replacement will be confirmed at the press conference. “Chief executive Trevor Birch and the new manager will be present at Tuesday’s announcement.” Top 14 Review: Champions Clermont defeated in opener Posted: 16 Aug 2010 11:30 AM PDT Clermont's winless streak at Aimé Giral continued as the new champions fell to Perpignan on an exciting first weekend of the Top 14. Having finally ended their wait for the hallowed Bouclier de Brennus, the team from the Massif Central would have hoped to kick off their defence with a victory, but wins in Catalonia are hard to come by, and Perpignan gained a measure of revenge for last May's final defeat with a 21-13 victory. The Catalan side were unable to cross the whitewash, but five penalties from Jérôme Porical, as well as two drop goals, one from more than 40m, from David Mélé, proved too much for the champions. The visitors did manage one score through Napo Nalaga, but a late Porical penalty denied them even a losing bonus point. The one sour moment of the evening came when Guillaume Vilaceca was sent off for stamping on the head of Thibault Privat ten minutes from time. Elsewhere, it was a weekend which provided a couple of surprises as Toulon slipped up at home, and La Rochelle got off to a winning start. Without first choice half backs Pierre Mignoni and Jonny Wilkinson, Toulon looked a little short of ideas, and youngster Yoann Huget scored a brace for Bayonne as they became the first visiting side to win at Mayol in the league in over a year, running out 26-22 winners. Newly promoted La Rochelle also upset the odds with an impressive 22-17 defeat of Castres. The favourites for relegation got off to a great start with a try after just four minutes from full back Sébastien Boboul. They added another two tries, and despite a late fightback from the visitors, held on for a deserved victory. In the other matches, Toulouse looked in ominous form, running in six tries in their 44-24 victory over Agen, the pick of the bunch coming from Yann David. Stade Français also got off to an impressive start under new coach Michael Cheika, with six tries of their own and a 43-12 win, despite a very closely contested first half. New Montpellier coach, Fabien Galthié, saw his charges come away with nothing from their match at Biarritz, but will have taken heart from their spirited comeback, losing 30-22, having at one point trailed 21-3. Finally Racing-Métro recorded an impressive 23-18 win at Brive, with new scrum half Nicolas Durand particularly catching in the eye. Swimming: British women dominate but France top table Posted: 16 Aug 2010 11:19 AM PDT Great Britain added a further two golds to their collection on the final day of competition in Budapest, with Rebecca Adlington ending a tough week on a high note. Having gone in to these European Championships with low expectations, Great Britain would not have been expecting the record medal haul they eventually came away with. 18 medals, including six golds, was a great reward for a team whose main aim this year is the Commonwealth Games in Delhi. On the final day of competition Fran Halsall got Britain off to a great start with her fourth medal of the week, a bronze in the 50m freestyle. The next medal followed soon after as Kate Haywood achieved a lifetime best 31.12 in the 50m breastroke, to claim silver behind the untouchable Yuliya Efimova. Ellen Gandy provided Britain's next podium with bronze medal in the 200m butterfly, achieved on her nineteenth birthday. It was then up to Adlington to put an end to a week of competition where she has seemed a shadow of the effervescent star who won two golds in Beijing two years ago. However, in the 400m freestyle, with world record holder Federica Pellegrini withdrawing due to illness, the 21-year-old from Mansfield was strong favourite. In a perfectly judged race she managed to reel in France's Ophelie Cyriell Etienne in the final two lengths to take the gold in an impressive 4.04.55. Britain's final gold of the championships came in the 4x100m medley relay, but only after Russia had been disqualified, having originally claimed the gold. Gemma Spofforth led Britain out in impressive style, only for Haywood to be overhauled by Efimova. However the Russian star had left the blocks a little early and as a result, Halsall and Amy Smith were able to bring Britain home in what turned out to be first place. Elsewhere on the final day, the hosts Hungary picked up two golds thanks to Katina Hosszu on the 200m butterfly, and local hero Laszlo Cseh in the 400 IM. Theresa Alshammer added another gold medal to her collection with the 50m freestyle, and in the men's equivalent, Frédéric Bousquet won comfortably from veteran Stefan Nystrand. In the final event of the championships, it was fitting that France took gold, their eighth of the championships, and bringing them up to a record haul of 21 medals. Camille Lacourt got them off to a flying start in the men's 4x100m medley relay, and Hugues Duboscq, Bousquet and Gilot saw them home by two seconds from the Russians. If Britain dominated the women's events, there can be no disputing that the French men's team is a force to be reckoned with. Only Paul Biedermann could stop their clean sweep of the individual freestyle events, and in Lacourt, they have the swimmer of the championships after his scintilating performances over 50m and 100m backstroke.
