Sports Update:

Some Seasons or competitions have finished over the last couple of weeks.

International Cricket: England won only one game on the World Twenty20 Cup. This was enough to get to the second stage. The competition was eventually won by India who beat Australia in the final.

Cricket: Durham's remarkable season came to an end on Saturday. Apart from winning the 50 over competition and the Second Division of the 40 over competition they finished second in the Premier Championship, the County Championship by far their best every performance. They only lost out the last day of the Season when Sussex, the reigning Champions beat Worcestershire. They finished with 7 wins, 5 losses and 4 draws for a final points total of 197.5 points only 4 1/2 behind Sussex. A great Season.

Football: The Carolina RailHawks inaugural Season is over. For an expansion team I though it was a big success. At times they played very good football. At times they played like an expansion team. I think the nucleus of the team should be kept the same. Where improvement is needed is up front where they need better goal scorers, but, more importantly forwards who know how to run off the ball to create space. My only real complaint about the Season is that the forwards were far to static.
They made the semi-finals of the US Open Cup beating Chicago Fire of the MLS on the way, which was probably the best performance of the Season. They eventually lost to MLS's powerhouse New England Revolution in Extra Time.
In the league they made the play-offs, which is a good achievement in a teams first year. They finished 8th in the league with a final record of 8 wins, 12 losses and 8 draws. They lost to regular Season Champions, Seattle Sounders 3-0 on aggregate in the first round of the play-offs.

Rugby League: Bradford Bulls Season came to crashing end after Wigan Warriors knocked them out of the Super League play-offs with a 31-30 victory. This was after Bradford were leading 30-6 after an hour.
In the league table they finished third with a record of 17 wins, 1 draw and 9 defeats.
