With a nail-biting finish, The Humber Colts won their first game of the season. Going a goal behind with 20minutes to play, Tom Moore scored the deciding goal in the dying seconds, slightly aided by referee, Rob Hunter.
The fixture featured new Colts signing Steve Grantham, his arrival adding more experience to the team. Nick-named ‘The Silver Fox’, Grantham was a title winner with Hodgsons FC, and could prove to be a top summer acquisition by the Colts.
His impact on the game was very visible from the off, barely putting a foot wrong. Grantham became an instant hit with Colt’s followers as he scored from a free-kick to level the scores, making up for an earlier shot he blazed over the bar.
The Humber Colts winner came after a scramble in the box. The ball bounced up in front of Tom Moore. Reacting quickly, Moore drilled the ball through a crowd of players to win the match.
British Dressage today announced their selection for the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 2010.
The selected squad comprises (in alphabetical order):
· Laura Bechtolsheimer riding Dr & Mrs Bechtolsheimer’s and her own Mistral Hojris (with Andretti H as her reserve horse.)
· Fiona Bigwood riding her own Wie Atlantico
· Maria Eilberg riding Mr Ferdi Eilberg’s Two Sox
· Carl Hester riding Ms Cheryl Meisner’s Liebling II
The non-travelling reserves are (in alphabetical order): Henriette Andersen (Louis D’Or III) and Emile Faurie (Elmegardens Marquis).
Dressage Team Captain, Richard Davison said on the selection; “This is yet another strong quartet, mostly composed of last year’s silver medal winning team. Whilst Laura is ranked third in the world, the other riders have had to fight hard for their place and I am confident they will deliver the goods in Kentucky.”
A World Equestrian Games includes the eight disciplines of dressage, eventing, showjumping, para-equestrian dressage, driving, endurance, reining and vaulting.
The Olympic and Paralympic sports are generously supported by lottery funding via UK Sport but the non-Olympic sports of driving, endurance, reining and vaulting, although supported where possible by the World Class Programme staff during the World Equestrian Games, do not receive direct funding for the event from the Programme.
A variety of fundraising initiatives have been launched to help support the trip to Kentucky for all the British teams. These include an online auction with new exclusive lots added each month and the opportunity to buy Team GBR merchandise which ranges from clothing to a recently launched silver bracelet; generous donations are made to the teams for all items sold.
Further information about all the fundraising activities can be found on the official Team GBR website.
All the news and behind the scenes views in the run up to and during the Games can be found on the Team GBR website, including the opportunity to sign up for FREE as a Team GBR Supporter to receive regular updates.
The Games take place in Kentucky, USA from Saturday 25th September to Sunday 10th October with the dressage competition taking place between Monday 27th September and Friday 1st October.
