Rugby Union: County impress to reach semis
The Leicestershire County rugby squad achieved an excellent 78-14 win against East Midlands to book their place in the semi-final of the County Championship shield. A home tie against Dorset and Wiltshire is the squad's reward. The south-west team won pool three and beat Leicestershire in the Twickenham final of 2010. If County win, this season's final will also be held at Twickenham after the England versus Barbarians game, on May... -

"I had been watching a few fish in the corner of the lake by the sailing club for a couple of days and I was desperate to get on them. "A last-minute change of circumstances allowed me to do a quick overnighter and the fish came at around 10pm. ... -

Local rugby: Leicestershire off to a flying start
Leicestershire trounced Essex 40-8 in the first round of the County Championship Shield at Market Harborough. Leicestershire started against a blustery wind and went behind to an Essex penalty, but they soon settled down to go into the interval with a commanding 26-5 lead. Oakham's James Padley opened the scoring with a determined run into the corner following an excellent break from defence by Syston's Ian Smith. No.8 Ben Ashfield...
