Cherry on top! Edinburgh hooker eyes Scotland recall after dominant display against Glasgow Dave Cherry hasn't featured for Scotland since falling down stairs at last year's Rugby World Cup The hooker issued a reminder to Scotland coach Gregor Townsend that he remains available for selection Glasgow's Kyle Steyn has vowed to use pain of 1872 Cup setback as motivation for the rest of his side's campaign By GRAEME MACPHERSON Published: 22:00, 29 December 2024 | Updated: 22:00, 29 December 2024 e-mail View comments If the advent of a new year provides fresh opportunity for all then what chance Dave Cherry donning a Scotland shirt again in 2025? Stranger things have surely happened. Cherry was an integral part of Gregor Townsend ’s plans at last year’s World Cup, coming off the bench in the loss to South Africa . Then came his downfall, literally, as he reportedly tumbled down a flight of stairs on a day off, suffered a concussion and was sent home. Fifteen months later and Cherry hasn’t featured in a Scotland squad since, never mind taking to the field. It is a curious state of affairs partially explained by the emergence of his Edinburgh team-mates Ewan Ashman and Patrick Harrison, who have pushed their way into the picture. But given the retirement of Stuart McInally and Fraser Brown, and with George Turner decanting to Japan, Cherry’s experience would surely have proved handy at some point. The 33-year-old has mostly kept his counsel in the intervening period but emerged following Edinburgh’s 1872 Cup win over Glasgow to insist that he hasn’t quietly slipped into international retirement. There is an undoubted pecking order now at hooker and Cherry is at the back of it but, should the opportunity arise, the Edinburgh-born player revealed he would jump at the chance to pull on a Scotland jersey once again. Edinburgh hooker Dave Cherry is applauded by rival Glasgow stars after Murrayfield win Cherry was a big presence for the capital side as they salvaged pride after last week's loss Cherry makes a big hit on Glasgow's Scotland fly-half Tom Jordan as Warriors are closed out Asked if he had given up on a recall, Cherry replied: ‘Not at all. I want to make it clear I am still going and still available. My desire to get back in and play for Scotland is still there. ‘(Townsend) has basically said just keep doing what you’re doing, and that’s about it. I’m just focused on myself and my own performance and trying to put my best foot forward. Hopefully I get selected.’ More performances like Saturday’s — both individually and as a collective — won’t do his chances any harm. Edinburgh smothered Glasgow’s attacking intent, restricting one of rugby’s most potent attacks to just the one penalty try late in the contest. Cherry, on his 100th club appearance, was at the heart of the battle and ought to have had an assist to his name too late in the first half when Luke Crosbie spilled his pass right on the Glasgow line. Edinburgh still aren’t getting the most out of their attacking resources — Duhan van der Merwe and Darcy Graham barely saw the ball once again — and they still have to show they can perform outside of the capital. This, though, was a defiant response to their Hampden humbling the previous weekend. ‘Clarity through the week led to intent in the game,’ added Cherry. ‘It showed out there, it was far clearer what we were doing. Our defence was structured and that kind of led to the win. ‘Our discipline and turnovers were spot on. We were only two and two (penalties and turnovers) at the half and that made a big difference to our game this week. We were able to control Glasgow better and their defence, not give them as many entries. I think that was the ultimate winning of the match, our defence. ‘I was discussing it with the lads afterwards. It felt more than a 10-7 scoreline. There were opportunities and both sides didn’t convert. But it’s four URC points and that’s the big one for us. We needed to get back on the horse and we have done that.’ Cherry last featured for Scotland at the 2023 World Cup against South Africa Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has seen his options at hooker diminish recently It was the ideal way for Cherry to bring up his landmark appearance, even if Edinburgh never really threatened to overturn the 19-point first-leg deficit to lift the trophy. ‘I’m very pleased (to become a club centurion),’ he beamed. ‘As a little boy, I never thought I would reach that landmark so I am absolutely delighted. But the bigger picture is about the team and their performance, rather than my own. ‘Our home form has been good but we need to take that on the road. Playing Glasgow, you always want to win those games — a big crowd and a big occasion for myself. I am delighted with the team’s performance. We went in believing we could get those 19 points. Ultimately we didn’t, but we will take the win and the four points.’ The late yellow card shown to Harrison saw Cherry summoned back from the stand for another 10-minute shift which he wasn’t hugely enthusiastic about. ‘Well... we were winning and the clock has got to be run down,’ he added. ‘They said: “Take your time” so I was more than happy to do that.’ Kyle Steyn says Glasgow will head into their New Year break licking their wounds but determined to make amends when they return. Steyn raises a smile after his side's aggregate win, but it was all too much for Zander Fagerson Steyn did his best to look excited as he lifted the 1872 Cup but, having just lost the match, if not the tie, to Edinburgh, it was hard for the captain to get too enthusiastic about it. It was deja vu for the visitors who also lost the Murrayfield leg last year only to rebound and go on to win the URC title. And Steyn hoped this setback could similarly provide a springboard when Warriors return for Champions Cup matches against Racing 92 and Harlequins. ‘Yeah, it’s very frustrating,’ said the Scotland winger. ‘Fair enough to Edinburgh, I thought they stood up pretty well and did well to slow down our ball. We did struggle to find some momentum in attack but I thought we created enough opportunities to get the job done and didn’t close enough of them out. ‘The problem was our ruck speed. It becomes pretty easy to defend once our ball was that slow. They’ve done well there and we’ll take our lessons. ‘We’ve had loads of changes in pretty much every game and I’m really proud of the boys, especially up front. We’ve had four or five changes every week and whoever has played has stepped up. I think it’s disappointing to end this year, for what it has been, with a game like this, but that will keep the hunger going for next year. ‘We’ve got Racing at home and we’ve got to go down to Quins after losing narrowly down there last year. There are motivations aplenty and the way the first two rounds have gone, every game now is going to be important. ’ Share or comment on this article: Cherry on top!

ATLANTA (AP) — Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer who tried to restore virtue to the White House after the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, then rebounded from a landslide defeat to become a global advocate of human rights and democracy, has died. He was 100 years old . The Carter Center said the 39th president died Sunday afternoon, more than a year after entering hospice care , at his home in Plains, Georgia , where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died in November 2023, lived most of their lives. The center said he died peacefully, surrounded by his family. As reaction poured in from around the world, President Joe Biden mourned Carter’s death, saying the world lost an “extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian” and he lost a dear friend. Biden cited Carter’s compassion and moral clarity, his work to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless and advocacy for the disadvantaged as an example for others. “To all of the young people in this nation and for anyone in search of what it means to live a life of purpose and meaning – the good life – study Jimmy Carter, a man of principle, faith, and humility,” Biden said in a statement. “He showed that we are a great nation because we are a good people – decent and honorable, courageous and compassionate, humble and strong.” Biden said he is ordering a state funeral for Carter in Washington. A moderate Democrat, Carter ran for president in 1976 as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad grin, effusive Baptist faith and technocratic plans for efficient government. His promise to never deceive the American people resonated after Richard Nixon’s disgrace and U.S. defeat in southeast Asia. “If I ever lie to you, if I ever make a misleading statement, don’t vote for me. I would not deserve to be your president,” Carter said. Carter’s victory over Republican Gerald Ford, whose fortunes fell after pardoning Nixon, came amid Cold War pressures, turbulent oil markets and social upheaval over race, women’s rights and America’s role in the world. His achievements included brokering Mideast peace by keeping Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at Camp David for 13 days in 1978. But his coalition splintered under double-digit inflation and the 444-day hostage crisis in Iran. His negotiations ultimately brought all the hostages home alive, but in a final insult, Iran didn’t release them until the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, who had trounced him in the 1980 election. Humbled and back home in Georgia, Carter said his faith demanded that he keep doing whatever he could, for as long as he could, to try to make a difference. He and Rosalynn co-founded The Carter Center in 1982 and spent the next 40 years traveling the world as peacemakers, human rights advocates and champions of democracy and public health. READ: Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, Carter helped ease nuclear tensions in North and South Korea, avert a U.S. invasion of Haiti and negotiate cease-fires in Bosnia and Sudan. By 2022, the center had monitored at least 113 elections around the world. Carter was determined to eradicate guinea worm infections as one of many health initiatives. Swinging hammers into their 90s, the Carters built homes with Habitat for Humanity. The common observation that he was better as an ex-president rankled Carter. His allies were pleased that he lived long enough to see biographers and historians revisit his presidency and declare it more impactful than many understood at the time. Propelled in 1976 by voters in Iowa and then across the South, Carter ran a no-frills campaign. Americans were captivated by the earnest engineer, and while an election-year Playboy interview drew snickers when he said he “had looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times,” voters tired of political cynicism found it endearing. The first family set an informal tone in the White House, carrying their own luggage, trying to silence the Marine Band’s traditional “Hail to the Chief" and enrolling daughter, Amy, in public schools. Carter was lampooned for wearing a cardigan and urging Americans to turn down their thermostats. But Carter set the stage for an economic revival and sharply reduced America's dependence on foreign oil by deregulating the energy industry along with airlines, trains and trucking. He established the departments of Energy and Education, appointed record numbers of women and nonwhites to federal posts, preserved millions of acres of Alaska n wilderness and pardoned most Vietnam draft evaders. Emphasizing human rights , he ended most support for military dictators and took on bribery by multinational corporations by signing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. He persuaded the Senate to ratify the Panama Canal treaties and normalized relations with China, an outgrowth of Nixon’s outreach to Beijing. But crippling turns in foreign affairs took their toll. When OPEC hiked crude prices, making drivers line up for gasoline as inflation spiked to 11%, Carter tried to encourage Americans to overcome “a crisis of confidence.” Many voters lost confidence in Carter instead after the infamous address that media dubbed his “malaise" speech, even though he never used that word. After Carter reluctantly agreed to admit the exiled Shah of Iran to the U.S. for medical treatment, the American Embassy in Tehran was overrun in 1979. Negotiations to quickly free the hostages broke down, and then eight Americans died when a top-secret military rescue attempt failed. Carter also had to reverse course on the SALT II nuclear arms treaty after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979. Though historians would later credit Carter's diplomatic efforts for hastening the end of the Cold war, Republicans labeled his soft power weak. Reagan’s “make America great again” appeals resonated, and he beat Carter in all but six states. Born Oct. 1, 1924, James Earl Carter Jr. married fellow Plains native Rosalynn Smith in 1946, the year he graduated from the Naval Academy. He brought his young family back to Plains after his father died, abandoning his Navy career, and they soon turned their ambitions to politics . Carter reached the state Senate in 1962. After rural white and Black voters elected him governor in 1970, he drew national attention by declaring that “the time for racial discrimination is over.” Carter published more than 30 books and remained influential as his center turned its democracy advocacy onto U.S. politics, monitoring an audit of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results. After a 2015 cancer diagnosis, Carter said he felt “perfectly at ease with whatever comes.” “I’ve had a wonderful life,” he said. “I’ve had thousands of friends, I’ve had an exciting, adventurous and gratifying existence.” ___ Sanz is a former Associated Press reporter.

The Gross Law Firm Reminds Shareholders of a Lead Plaintiff Deadline of November 29, 2024 in ...Thitikul beats Yin in dramatic finish to LPGA finaleThe reigning Super Bowl champions saw their run of 15 straight wins ended by the Buffalo Bills last week. The Kansas City Chiefs bounced back from their first defeat of the season with a dramatic 30-27 win over the Carolina Panthers. The reigning Super Bowl champions saw their run of 15 straight wins ended by the Buffalo Bills last week, but got back to winning ways thanks to star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. After a late Chuba Hubbard touchdown and two-point conversion had made it 27-27, the Chiefs got the ball back with less than two minutes on the clock and a 33-yard run from Mahomes helped set up Spencer Shrader for a game-winning field goal. Mahomes finished the game with 269 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Noah Gray in the first half. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs scored two touchdowns as the Detroit Lions beat the Indianapolis Colts 24-6 to improve their record to 10-1, matching that of the Chiefs. David Montgomery also ran for a score before having to leave the game with a shoulder injury. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended a four-game losing streak with a 30-7 win over the New York Giants, who “mutually agreed” to terminate the contract of quarterback Daniel Jones earlier this week. Jones’ replacement Tommy DeVito was sacked four times while opposite number Baker Mayfield ran for a touchdown and completed 24 of 30 pass attempts for 294 yards. Rachaad White, Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker also ran for touchdowns in a one-sided contest. The Dallas Cowboys ended their five-game losing streak with a remarkable 34-26 win over the Washington Commanders, with 30 points scored in the final three minutes. KaVontae Turpin’s 99-yard kick-off return for a touchdown looked to have sealed victory for the Cowboys, only for the Commanders to respond with a field goal before getting the ball back with 33 seconds remaining. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin sprinted 86 yards through the Dallas defence for a touchdown, only for Austin Seibert to miss the extra point. The Commanders tried an onside kick and Juanyeh Thomas returned it 43 yards for a touchdown. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw four touchdown passes as the Miami Dolphins cruised to a 34-15 win over the New England Patriots, while the Tennessee Titans pulled off a surprise 32-27 victory at the Houston Texans. The Minnesota Vikings improved to 9-2 thanks to a 30-27 overtime win against the Chicago Bears, Parker Romo kicking the decisive field goal from 29 yards.None

It wouldn’t be without a glazed gammon, would it? And there is no need to complicate things. No intricate scoring needed, no need to place an individual clove in each square before roasting. Who started this clove thing? It’s a bit like when you’re eating a nice curry and you crunch through a whole cardamom seed – definitely not enjoyable. Just give me thick slices of sweet, smoky, salty ham. is a must, sweetness is needed – marmalade is the go-to in my house – and lots of black pepper to finish things off. Go big on your gammon, it’s great cold on Boxing Day, or with a fried egg and some chips, in a leftover turkey pie, in a baguette with lots of butter and some cornichons, I could go on... 10 mins 2 hrs 50 mins 10 4-5kg smoked boneless gammon joint 1 onion, roughly chopped 3 carrots, roughly chopped 1 celery stick, roughly chopped 1⁄2 garlic bulb, cut horizontally 4 sprigs of thyme 4 sprigs of rosemary 1 tbsp cracked black pepper 350g marmalade 2 tbsp Dijon mustard 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard There are two options for removing some salt from your , depending on how organised you are. My preferred method is to leave the joint to soak overnight in cold water, then rinse and cook it the next day. You could also bring it to the boil, simmer for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse. Place your soaked or pre-boiled gammon in a large pan of cold water and add , , , and . Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 11⁄2 hours. Remove the gammon from the pan, reserving the stock. Preheat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas mark 5. Peel off the top layer of skin – you want to leave as much fat on the joint as possible for maximum flavour. Roughly score the fat in a criss-cross pattern, season with and and place in the oven for 15 minutes. Pour and over the gammon and spread, then pour over and baste. Return the gammon to the oven for another 20 minutes. Remove and baste again.
