chances but their home win over Gillingham on Saturday showed that manager Colin Murphy and his men have rediscovered their appetite for success Coming a week after their fine win at Bramall Lane this victory would suggest that City are back on the rails but the big question mark is how many of them will be with the club next season? Maurice Burton points win over Brinish a Edwards of Uganda if Las Vegas last night The World Boxing Council had refused to sanction bout promoted by Chargin as a tike defe because it recognised a qion-tract which rival proViater Don King said he had for Chacon to fiight American Hector Camacho After the fight Chargin saidhe was offering Chacon-one million dollars to defend his WBC title against Camacho I And Chacon said: is definitely my last year I ing to make some money and then He also said: "No way will I ever fight for Don King" Boza-Edwards a former WBC super-featherwebght

manager and directors have been working this past fortnight negotiations in some cases are at a delicate stage and it could be another month before final decisions are taken In the meantime chairman Dennis Houlston has gone on record as saying that he feels additional players are needed The pity is that this absolute minimum requirement was not acted upon in January when promotion was more than a simple pipe dream As at Sheffield a week earlier both teams sought to play football and the result was an entertaining finale to the 46-match programme City won it well but they had to come from behind to do so Strength The strength of the defence was apparent after they had mastered the dangerous thrusts of Mehmet Bowman and the tall Cascarino but there was a spell in the first half when Gillingham looked capable of taking the points That was in the 10 minutes after they had taken the lead FELGATE SELECTED LINCOLN CITY goalkeeper David Felgate Is again included in the Wales squad for the British championship matches which begin ne week and the friendly match against Brazil The full squad is: Southall (Everton) Felgate (Lincoln) Jones (Chelsea) Price (Tottenham) Charles (Swansea) Ratcliffe (Everton) Hopkins (Fulham) Jackett (Watford) Slatter (Bristol Rovers) Flynn (Burnley) Nicholas (Arsenal) Vaughan (Newport) Thomas (Stoke) Oavis (Fulham) Rush (Liverpool) James (Sunderland) Davies (Manchester United Lewes (Swansea) HOW THEY SCORED CASCARONI (Gillingham) 24 mins SHIPLEY (City) 34 mins BURKE (City) 56 mins BURKE (City) 72 mins Attendance: 2241 but once City had levelled before half-time they always looked the better bet for a win and they dominated the second half as Gillingham's challenge collapsed reply was a series of bursts in which Shipley Hobson and Cockerili in particular were prominent 'and in the 20th minute Gillingham had a remarkable escape as Lincoln claimed a goal A superb ball from Thompson sent Cockerili racing through and City's "Player of the Year" did everything right as he raced on to wallop a tremendous shot past Hillyard The ball crashed against the underside of the bar as the City fans yelled their delight but it came down the wrong side of the line for City and Gillingham scored two minutes later Injury Gillingham wasted the first chance when a poor goalkick by Felgate went straight to Horrix who slipped the ball through the centre of the defence for Cascarino to run clear Felgate timed his challenge well enough to force Cascarino wide and Sim-monite was waiting in the middle to kick clear A Lincoln thrust broke down in midfield and Mehmet sent Cascarino racing again through the gap This time he kept his head £265380 Carson Waldron Raymond Pat Eddery Hills (3) C-Brown A Worrell Gold easily in the Doncaster race and it is hard to see either reversing the form Fine supporters might argue that the six year old was backward but no such excuses can be made for Meeka Gold who now reopposes on ten pounds worse terms A winter's hurdling did Suppers Ready no harm at all Judging by his impressive all the way victory at Salisbury A three pound penalty may not stop him in the Westerton Handicap Suited Another good bet at Goodwood should be the Guy Harwood trained Cutacross in the Boxgrove Apprentice Handicap The three-year-old had a stiff task when third of ten to Assadaa in a handicap at Warwick last time and he is sure to be suited by longer trip Henry Azara looks certain to take some beating in the Mitton Maiden Stakes Lack of finishing speed led to the defeat of this Quiet Fling filly at Bath over one mile

Ernie Goulding before match against Gillingham as Felgate came out and rolled the ball wide of the keeper for his 9th goal of the season City were without Shipley at the time He had gone off for treatment to a hand injury and returned in the 31st minute to play the leading role in equaliser He had been back on the field only three minutes when Cockerili and Moss combined at the edge of the box and Shipley ran in from the left to score his 12th goal of the season and his 10th in the Third Division That put the Imps back in the driving seat aqd as a freak hailstorm sent the spectators dashing for cover City took command of the situation in the second half Scramble It turned out to be a personal triumph for Marshall Burke a player who has come in for more than his sh are of unfair criticism in recent weeks' yet who has worked as hard as anyone in an attempt to keep things going right The goal which put City ahead for the first time came when Hillyard superbly touched a Moss header over the bar for a corner When the kick curled in Moss met it at the near post and from th appeals by the City players it must have been close to crossing the line as his downward header beat the goalkeeper A scramble on the goal-line saw players on both sides trying to make contact but it was Burke who did so sliding the ball firmly into the net in the 56th minute City clinched the points in the 72nd mintue when Brazier crossed from the right Cockerili and Burke went in and it was from Burke that the ball looped towards the goal bouncing in front of the line and rolling on past dive to ensure a win for Lincoln who finish in sixth place knight flag car knight Left from top: car Co-op knight flag Right: Co-op knight Co-op flag car 31 abroad TOURISTS going abroad expect the following
