Craig Bellamy's trial has been put back to an as yet unspecified date. The Welshman who captained Wales in their 5-1 home defeat by Slovakia on Saturday faces assault charges, but is unlikely to be jailed if found guilty due to the present prison place shortages.

Nuneaton Borough's Gary McPhee has been as Player Of The Round in the last Qualifying Round of matches in the FA Cup. The former City reserve will also be presented to the crowd before the FA Cup Final in May.

McPhee's win made it a hat-trick of awards in just over a week for the Conference North club. Roger Ashby had been named Manager Of The Month and Nuneaton's FA Cup run last season was named the area's sporting occasion at the Coventry,Soihull and Warwickshire Sports Awards last Thursday night.
