Manchester United U18s travelled to the North East on Saturday afternoon to take on Newcastle United U18s.
Heading into the match, Newcastle had won four out of four and were sure to be a tough test for Darren Fletcher's side, who have been in scintillating form.
United were on a three-match winning streak of their own, with a combined score of 11-0.
Both sides felt each other out in the opening stages, with neither team committing forward, leaving little ****** e for openings in attack. United's first chance came through a long-range effort from Jaume Camacho, but George Mair saved comfortably enough.

Fletcher staked its claim once more as a contender in Northeast Florida's marquee high school football district, stifling Bartram Trail 30-7 at Jack Taylor Stadium on Sept. 11.
Five takeaways, two punt blocks and 211 rushing yards for bulldozing senior running back Jah'myri Jennings added up to one statement for the Senators (3-1, 1-0).
A key goal-line stand in the second quarter swung the momentum toward the Senators, who scored 30 consecutive points to beat the Bears (3-1, 0-1) on a soggy night at Jacksonville Beach.
This story will be expanded.

The Miami Hurricanes move to 2-0 after drubbing the FAMU Rattlers 77-7 on Thursday night at Hard Rock Stadium. I predicted Miami by 40+ and clearly that was an easy take.
Diatribe coming, skip ahead: I greatly appreciate what the FCS games do for the FCS athletic departments, essentially the payoff keeps the schools afloat for the year, however these games need to be recalibrated. I was bored halfway through the first quarter and went to sleep at halftime.
My suggestion is to move these games to Week Zero, treat it like a preseason game ie. it doesn't count, and still pay the teams the fee to come and play. That would give FSU a chance to check their light system, and everyone else a chance to simulate the game day experience with a lower ticket price while still being televised. The fact that your season ticket package includes this boring game, in addition to Central Michigan, would feel like robbery to me. OK- DIATRIBE OVER.
The Canyonero Keys to Victory main theme was to drive over a team ranked in the 200's in SP+ and throw it in reverse and back over them again. Miami did just that and we're all ready to move on to real opponents now. The three keys were:
1- Don't get **** y, stick to the plan. Miami pounded the rock three times on the opening drive and it was capped by a Mark Fletcher TD. The 'Canes plan was to get the run game going and the Darian Mensah to his receivers connection fresh. It worked.

Florida A&M football has been forced to make a quarterback change after starter Isaiah Knowles was ruled out for the season with a thumb injury.
Backup Dustin Fletcher led the Rattler offense on the field for their first possession against the Miami Hurricanes on Thursday, Sept. 10, for a Week 2 "money game" at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
Fletcher replaces Knowles, who left Sept. 6's 31-13 Orange Blossom Classic loss against the third quarter after hurting his right throwing hand after taking a hit from a South Carolina State defender. Fletcher subbed in and completed 6-of-8 passes for 68 yards.
And now, he's responsible for operating head coach Quinn Fordham Gray Sr.'s offense against the defending College Football Playoff runners-up and No. 7-ranked team in the USA TODAY top 25.
Fletcher transferred to the Rattlers from The Citadel.

Florida A&M football may have to attempt its comeback on South Carolina State without its starting quarterback.
Isaiah Knowles left the game late in the third quarter of the Orange Blossom Classic after taking a hit as he threw the football away.
The graduate student left the game with an injury to his right throwing hand and entered the sideline tent. The ESPN broadcast showed Knowles fully dressed, but getting his wrist taped up by the FAMU trainers.
Backup Dustin Fletcher has substituted in at quarterback as the Rattlers look to erase a 28-13 fourth-quarter deficit. Fletcher is a graduate student from Flint, Michigan, and transferred from The Citadel this season.
Knowles went 7-for-22 for 94 passing yards before leaving the game.

ANAHEIM — The year of change continues for the Angels.
Interim general manager John Mozeliak has been awfully busy since taking the reins in late June. In two months, Mozeliak has overseen a draft that saw the Angels select a high schooler in the first round for the first time in eight years, the first true fire-sale trade deadline in the Arte Moreno era and the firing of pitching coach Mike Maddux, as well as other members of the pitching side of the coaching staff.
And on Monday, the franchise's revitalization continued as the Angels promoted Michael Lord and Matt Swanson to ******* istant general managers, according to Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher, ahead of the Angels' series opener against the Yankees.
"Part of the reason for all of this is to really get an alignment of how we think about our player acquisition," Mozeliak said.
Along with the promotions, the team also fired five area scouts, two crosscheckers and didn't renew the contract of special ******* istant Ray Montgomery.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are continuing to trim their roster ahead of Sunday's deadline to reach the NFL-mandated 53 players.
According to FOX Sports' Greg Auman, Tampa Bay has now made 20 cuts. The group includes quarterbacks Jake Browning and Connor Bazelak, running back Barika Kpeenu, wide receivers Dean Patterson, Eric Rivers and Jha'Quan Jackson, tight ends Devin Culp and Kenny Fletcher, guards Elijah Klein and Nash Hutmacher, and tackle Marshall Foerner.
Defensively, the Bucs have moved on from defensive linemen Jayson Jones, Josiah Green and Travis Shaw, outside linebacker Yasir Holmes, inside linebackers Nick Jackson and John Bullock, and safety Rashad Wisdom.
Tampa Bay also waived kicker B.T. Potter and long snapper Scott Daly.
The most notable move is Browning, whose departure cleared the way for undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels to serve as Baker Mayfield's backup quarterback. More moves are expected before the 6 p.m. ET deadline as the Buccaneers finalize their initial 53-man roster for the regular season.

Quarterback Connor Bazelak fell behind rookie Jalon Daniels on the Buccaneers' depth chart this offseason and he's now off the roster altogether.
Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports that Bazelak is being waived as part of the team's moves to get to the 53-player limit by Sunday afternoon's deadline.
Daniels started the Bucs' final preseason game after making a push for the No. 2 job behind Baker Mayfield this summer. Jake Browning is the other quarterback on the roster in Tampa.
Auman reports that the Bucs are also waiving running back Barika Kpeenu, tight end Kenny Fletcher, guard Nash Hutmacher, defensive tackle Travis Shaw, and linebacker John Bullock.

The Novant Health Performance Center in Uptown is beginning to take shape.
For now, it's hard hats, steel and concrete, but once construction is complete, the site will be the Charlotte Hornets' home off the court.
"This project I could not be more excited about," Dr. Sid Fletcher, Novant Health's senior vice president and president of employer solutions, said. "You're about to see what happens when the vision comes to life."
Channel 9's Miana Massey got a first look of the facility on Friday, where crews are building the ******* es that will become practice courts, training and recovery areas for the Hornets.
Plans call for a 100,000-square-foot practice facility and 35,000-square-feet of team offices.

It's staying in the family at Santa Margarita (CA).
Junior Fletch Palmer, son of Santa Margarita head coach and longtime NFL quarterback, was named the starting quarterback for the Eagles' season opener on Friday night, Aug. 21, against Jones (FL).
More: High school football scores for tonight's Super 25 teams
Fletch took snaps in three games last season, but attempted only seven passes. He completed five of those for 74 yards. The top spot went to him over Villa Park (CA) senior transfer Matt Smith and Coronado (CA) junior transfer West Stansbury.
Carson Palmer himself is new to the program — this will only be his second season at head coach — but he's already made quite his mark on the Eagles. In his first season with the program, Carson, who led Santa Margarita to back-to-back CIF ******* les as a player in the 90s, guided the Eagles to the CIF-SS Division 1 championship.

Manchester United will reportedly launch another attempt to sign young Leicester City midfielder Louis Page.
The Red Devils have seemingly completed their midfield revamp, as they're now close to buying Carlos Baleba from Brighton.
The Cameroonian will join a department that features fellow new signings Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, in addition to Kobbie Mainoo, while Tyler Fletcher and his twin brother Jack will offer extra depth when required.
While Man Utd's midfield department looks sorted, the club is also planning for the future. In recent days, it was reported that INEOS made an offer for Louis Page worth around £10 million, but it was rejected by Leicester.
The 18-year-old was promoted to the senior squad last season and went on to make 18 appearances in the Championship.

Purdue basketball will have a new look in the 2026-27 season: NCAA career ******* ists leader Braden Smith, Boilers career 3-pointers leader Fletcher Loyer and big man Trey Kaufman-Renn are gone after becoming the recruiting class with the most wins in program history.
However, given the recent rounds of NCAA rules changes, lawsuits and injunctions, any or all of them could seek more eligibility. Would coach Matt Painter take him back?
He says no.
The 22nd-year coach wouldn't begrudge any of them applying for more eligibility; it just wouldn't be with Purdue.
"Trey wouldn't apply for this ... even though everything can be battled these days," Painter said on the "Inside College Basketball" podcast with Jon Rothstein. "The other two guys, there's just no way we could take them back because these other guys, it's their turn. You've given them that word."

SUNRISE, Fla. — From little league football to the national championship, Linda Fletcher has never missed one of her son's games.
She is always in the stands when her son, Mark Fletcher Jr., takes the field for the Hurricanes. But she is afraid of flying, so Fletcher has spent the past three years driving to each UM game, whether that means a short trip from her Broward County home to Hard Rock Stadium or a cross-country trip to California's Bay Area in a rental car.
"That was a really big deal, coming from Fort Lauderdale," Fletcher said. "I had never been to California before. And then now it's like, I've been to Texas so many times, I could drive there with my eyes closed. But, yeah, all those trips, we have made it very fun."
This year, Fletcher and her family will be traveling in style. She teamed with Miami legend Michael Irvin's production company, Playmaker Production Group, which gifted her a personalized RV in connection with Fun Town RV. She will get to drive the new RV to each of the Hurricanes' games this year as part of their new web series, "Fetching Fletchers."
Fletcher said she flagged down Irvin when he was on the sideline at a Miami game last year. They talked about her travels, and she said it would only be better if she had an RV. Luckily for her, Irvin knew the owner of the RV company.

Miami running back Jordan Lyle has been charged with a felony count of fleeing/eluding police and a misdemeanor count of reckless driving, according to the Broward County state attorney's office in Florida.
A state attorney official said Friday that Lyle voluntary surrendered to police on Thursday. Court records show he was released after posting bond the same day.
The arrest warrant was filed by police in Sunrise, Florida, but other details of what happened weren't immediately available.
The university released a statement saying it is aware "of an incident involving student-athlete Jordan Lyle" and would not have any further comment because it is a legal matter.
The 20-year-old Lyle is entering his junior season and expected to compete for a key role in the Hurricanes' offense behind senior Mark Fletcher. A nagging ankle injury limited Lyle to 35 carries for 108 yards and a TD in six games last season.

During my tenure at Pinstripe Alley—hell, during my entire time as a baseball fan—I've never been shy about delving into the team's history and exploring the lives of its long roll call of players, both incredible and regrettable. We provide plenty of other coverage on the current-day activities of the teams, so I like having one spot per day on the schedule to open the ol' books and tell a story.
Whether it's remembering championship teams, Top 100 players, or notable free agent signings, there's always something out there to explore. For the past three years, we've celebrated the 25th anniversary of the 1998-2000 Yankees dynasty by doing a diary on all their regular season and playoff activity. The final pages were written this past October, so it's time for a new daily project.
With that in mind, we'll ring in the new year by beginning the Yankees Birthdays series. Every day in 2026, we'll have a new Yankees figure to discuss whose birthday happened to fall on that day. Some days will feature far more famous stars than others! But that just adds to the challenge and our interest in the exercise. As a spoiler for today, that's exactly what you'll see soon for January 1st.
Happy new year and happy 365 days of Yankees birthdays!

Manchester United defender Noussair Mazraoui foresees a bright future for three of his young teammates who are knocking on the first-team door.
The 28-year-old has recently joined the club's summer camp following his post-World Cup vacation.
While he and other senior members of the squad were absent, several young MUFC starlets had the opportunity to make an impression on Michael Carrick, but only three appear to be destined for first-team opportunities this season.
In recent weeks, several reliable sources identified Shea Lacey and Tyler Fletcher as the most likely youngsters to be handed senior roles in the 2026/27 campaign, while others have added the other Fletcher twin, Jack, to the 'untouchable' list.
After arriving for the pre-season training camp in Dublin, Mazraoui opened up on his young Man Utd teammates while chatting with the press.

With the explosion of conference expansion in recent years, it can be harder than ever for friends and family of college football players to attend games in person due to the increased geographic ground to cover.
Miami running back Mark Fletcher Jr.'s mom Linda makes it a priority to get to her son's games, but has a notable dislike for flying. Her commute to Hurricanes games just got a whole lot more comfortable thanks to former Miami wide receiver Michael Irvin.
Irvin presented Linda Fletcher with a custom Miami Hurricanes RV that will take her across the country in style this season. The top of the RV reads "Fetching Fletchers", and is outfitted with the white, orange and green colors of the Hurricanes' jerseys.
Fletcher Jr. spoke to Kirk Herbstreit and Joey Galloway last January about his mom's dedication to driving wherever it takes to watch her son play.

The college football season is only weeks away from kickoff, with Week Zero set to get things started. Soon, the quest for the College Football Playoff will begin as teams like the Miami Hurricanes look to earn their way back into the tournament.
However, what is also upon us is a season of support from players' family members, friends, and classmates. Parents and loved ones will travel across the country to support their favorite players and teams. Mark Fletcher Jr.'s mother, Linda, knows this all too well.

It was reported that Fletcher's mother has a strong distaste for flying. Rather than take to the skies, Linda drove more than 17,000 miles to support her son at his games last season. Miami alumnus Michael Irvin heard about her dedication and decided to make her travels a little easier. Irvin gifted Linda her own customized RV so she can continue traveling to support her son. The heartwarming moment was captured on video and has since gone viral.

For decades, the University of Illinois men's basketball team has maintained a winning program. It has reached the NCAA Tournament 36 times, and under current coach Brad Underwood, it has gotten to the tournament in each of the last six years while reaching the Final Four this past season.
A whopping 74 of its players have been drafted into the NBA, including the Minnesota Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu and former stars John "Red" Kerr, Derek Harper and Deron Williams. Of those 74, three were taken by the Los Angeles Lakers. Here is a look at those three.
Fletcher spent three years with the Fighting Illini and averaged 9.5 points a game with them. The Lakers took him in the sixth round of the 1952 draft, but he never played in the NBA.
In three years with the University of Illinois, Schmidt put up 12.4 points per game. The Lakers selected him in the second round of the 1957 draft, and while he never played in the NBA, he went on to coach the Illini from 1967 to 1974.
Cook spent four years at the University of Illinois and put up 13.2 points and 6.2 rebounds a game while there. After the Lakers took him with the No. 24 pick in the 2003 draft, he spent four years and change there and found a spot in their rotation as a big man who could stretch the floor.

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has played down concerns surrounding Mason Mount after the midfielder was forced to leave the field early during the club's 1-1 pre-season draw against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday.
Mount's latest setback came less than 20 minutes into the contest, with the England player appearing to pick up a knock before being replaced by Tyler Fletcher.
The 27-year-old has endured a difficult spell since joining United from Chelsea in 2023, with a succession of fitness problems limiting his involvement and preventing him from establishing a consistent run in the side.
However, Carrick suggested there was no immediate reason for alarm, explaining that the decision to withdraw Mount was primarily precautionary.
"He got kicked. We just wanted to be careful and look after him. We've been lucky with injuries so far, so we wanted to be careful," Carrick told MUTV after the match.
Mount was subsequently seen walking without any obvious difficulty as he made his way towards the United team coach, providing further encouragement that the problem may not be serious.
Mount has made only 25 Premier League starts out of a possible 114 since arriving at Old Trafford, underlining the extent to which injuries have disrupted his time at the club.
Carrick was encouraged by United's overall showing against PSG, despite the French side taking the lead through Ibrahim Mbaye.
Bryan Mbeumo eventually restored parity for United, who created opportunities to take all three points against the reigning European champions.
"I enjoyed it. Good challenge. Slightly different with the way they play. We should've scored more goals. It's good for the boys sometimes to have to problem solve and find their own way, and I thought we did that. That prepares them for the season as well," Carrick said.
United have two more pre-season fixtures remaining before beginning their Premier League campaign against newly-promoted Hull City on August 22.

Manchester United managed a creditable 1-1 draw with European champions Paris Saint-Germain in a Gothenburg friendly on Saturday but the result was overshadowed by an injury to Mason Mount.
The England midfielder, who joined United from Chelsea in 2023, has been hampered by injury problems since arriving at Old Trafford and he lasted less than 20 minutes on Saturday after starting against PSG.
Mount, 27, appeared to suffer a foot injury in Sweden and, following discussions with coaches on the touchline, left the field to be replaced by Tyler Fletcher.
Mount has been restricted to just 31 league appearances -- many of them as a substitute - during his first two seasons with United.
His side were 1-0 down to PSG at the time of Mount's injury, having gone behind in the second minute through an Ibrahim Mbaye goal even though the French giants were missing many of their star players.

During my tenure at Pinstripe Alley—hell, during my entire time as a baseball fan—I've never been shy about delving into the team's history and exploring the lives of its long roll call of players, both incredible and regrettable. We provide plenty of other coverage on the current-day activities of the teams, so I like having one spot per day on the schedule to open the ol' books and tell a story.
Whether it's remembering championship teams, Top 100 players, or notable free agent signings, there's always something out there to explore. For the past three years, we've celebrated the 25th anniversary of the 1998-2000 Yankees dynasty by doing a diary on all their regular season and playoff activity. The final pages were written this past October, so it's time for a new daily project.
With that in mind, we'll ring in the new year by beginning the Yankees Birthdays series. Every day in 2026, we'll have a new Yankees figure to discuss whose birthday happened to fall on that day. Some days will feature far more famous stars than others! But that just adds to the challenge and our interest in the exercise. As a spoiler for today, that's exactly what you'll see soon for January 1st.
Happy new year and happy 365 days of Yankees birthdays!

Aaron Rodgers is at training camp for what will be his final NFL season. But once the future Hall of Famer leaves football, he seems to be prepared for a new chapter of his life with his family involved.
He credits his wife, Brittani, for that.
Rodgers had been estranged from his family since at least 2016 when the rocky relationship was put into the public domain during JoJo Fletcher's season of The Bachelorette. Rodgers' brother, Jordan, competed on the show and spoke on that estrangement.
That all changed two weeks ago when Rodgers posted photos with his parents and brother, Luke, for the first time since launching an Instagram account in 2017. Jordan was not included in the post.
Speaking to Kyle Brandt this weekend on Good Morning Football, Rodgers said that his wife was a major driving force in reconciling with his family.

Everything in the world of Gonzaga basketball hinges on the courtroom right now. Mario Saint-Supery was lured away from his upcoming sophomore season by a four-year contract to play professionally in Valencia, and Mark Few was left without a point guard. That vacated roster spot, as well as the one left open by one-time commit Jack Kayil, however, may have come at exactly the right time. UCLA's Donovan Dent and Skyy Clark are among the group of fifth-year seniors suing the NCAA for one more season of eligibility, and Gonzaga is reportedly in the mix for both. If the Zags are able to land both, this roster stops looking like an eleventh-hour rebuild and starts looking like the key ingredients for a top-five squad.
This is particularly vital because Gonzaga's non-conference slate for the 2026-27 season is arguably the toughest Mark Few has ever scheduled. The Bulldogs are already projected in the AP preseason top 20-to-25 range even before the eligibility rulings (hopefully) break their way, and the schedule does not let up from November through February.
Gonzaga has never been the type of team to schedule a patty-cake non-conference schedule and hopefully start firing on all cylinders by the time conference play rolls around. Rather, the Zags have spent the last decade scheduling a grueling non-conference slate to serve as a preview of the kind of competition they expect to see again in late March. Here are the games Zag fans should circle on their calendars now, regardless of who will or won't actually be suiting up for the Bulldogs.
Gonzaga has unfinished business with Purdue, which ended the Zags' 2024 season in the Sweet 16 behind Zach Edey's 27 points and 14 rebounds. This one opens the season on a neutral floor.
The roster picture has flipped since then. Purdue finished 30-9 and ranked No. 2 on KenPom last year, but its entire veteran core is now gone. Braden Smith, the NCAA's all-time ******* ists leader, and Trey Kaufman-Renn were both drafted in June, while Fletcher Loyer exhausted his eligibility and signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Clippers. Matt Painter didn't chase a portal fix. Instead, Purdue is leaning on sophomore Omer Mayer out of Tel Aviv, Israel, who played alongside Smith last season and is the presumptive starter, with five-star freshman Luke Ertel, Indiana's reigning Mr. Basketball, waiting behind him.

As Wrexham unveiled their new 2026-27 home shirt while ringing the Nasdaq bell in New York's iconic Times Square, there was little doubt that the club's stock has never been higher.
Icons from the past such as Mickey Thomas, Steven Fletcher, Ben Tozer and Ben Foster were among those in The Big Apple proudly adorning the club's red jersey.
It formed part of the launch of their new home kit, complete with their newest sponsor - yet another global brand.
Which is all in keeping with their cross-Atlantic profile, one unlike any other in the Championship or even many in the Premier League.
"Each time Wrexham has come to the U.S., we've been blown away by the reception," co-owners Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds told Sports Illustrated.

A nine-year-old boy who "loved life and nature" was killed by his "unconventional, doting" mother who then took her own life, a coroner has concluded.
Hudson Paterson, nine, and Tasmin Paterson, 31, were found dead by her partner in a bedroom in a bungalow at Fletchersbridge, near Bodmin, Cornwall, in September 2024, an inquest heard.
Senior coroner for Cornwall Andrew ******* said Ms Paterson had argued with Marcus Hughes and had gone to bed "distressed" with the thought the relationship was coming to an end.
Cox concluded Hudson's cause of death was unlawful killing and, for Ms Paterson's death, recorded a verdict of suicide.
Hughes said the couple had been sleeping in separate rooms and when he went to wake them, he grew concerned as there was no response, so he called 999 and forced entry.
