hello and welcome to sportsday this saturday night. i'm chetan pathak — coming up on the programme. finding out theirfate — next summer's european championship will begin with scotland playing germany on the opening night. we know what we are up against, its nice to be involved in the first game and hopefully we can set the tournament off on a good match. a kinder draw for england — on paper at least — can gareth southgate�*s side go one better than runners—up this time? the team to catch at the top of the premier league again are arsenal — as they edge past wolves at the emirates. also coming up on sportsday... ronnie rockets into the final of the uk snooker championship in york.

and adelaide strikers beat brisbane heat to become back—to—back women's big bash league winners. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. with six months to go until euro 2024 kicks off in germany — the draw for next summer's tournament has been made in the last hour and scotland will play the very first game after being drawn in the same group as the hosts. this is how group a looks — a tough one for scotland who will play germany in the opener onjune the 14th at the allianz arena in munich. switzerland and hungary will follow. here's the reaction of scotland manager steve clarke. you know what you are up against.

it's nice to open the tournament, it's nice to be involved in that first game and hopefully we can set the tournament off to a good match. that's going to be a special occasion, more than anything else? for us, we've got to make sure it is not about the occasion, we've got to make sure it's about the match. we look forward to it. it's an exciting draw. i don't think it really mattered who we were going to get, it was always going to be exciting for us. it's nice to be involved in the draw process and looking forward to next summer. your thoughts on hungary and switzerland? we will be competitive in the matches, i am sure they will be competitive too. it's a really balanced group. i don't know if you have managed to figure out where the base is going to be, it's a long distance you will be travelling. do you think it will affect the squad? we have got a really good idea where we will be based and how we will prepare for the tournament. because that base is part of the battle, you can get

peace of mind and crack on and getting homework. the homework can start now, i can start watching videos of the matches, there will be some friendly matches. we will get that organised as soon as we can and i look forward to next year. that's scotland. england have it — on paper, at least — a bit easier. they'll be happy to avoid the other home nations and the likes of netherlands and italy. this is their group — group c. serbia will be their opening game on the 16th ofjune before a match against denmark — that's a repeat of the euro 2020 semifinal — and slovenia — who are appearing at their first tournament since 2000. i have stood here after quite a few draws and he always feel the same way. you can look at it on paper that the games are played on paper. there are one or two teams that you are glad to avoid, certainly. but

all of the teams that we play are more than capable.— all of the teams that we play are more than capable. where you please to avoid scotland _ more than capable. where you please to avoid scotland and _ more than capable. where you please to avoid scotland and potentially - to avoid scotland and potentially wales if they are able to make it through the play—offs? the? wales if they are able to make it through the play-offs?— through the play-offs? they are brilliant occasions, _ through the play-offs? they are brilliant occasions, especially i through the play-offs? they are | brilliant occasions, especially for the fans, and they are great games to play in, so i was really relaxed about all of it. i guess the advantage we have got is being that having been in a few tournaments, you need the —— you know the format, and try to build from there. when denmark came — and try to build from there. when denmark came from _ and try to build from there. when denmark came from part - and try to build from there. when denmark came from part two, - and try to build from there. when denmark came from part two, there was a policy of netherlands and italy lurking further down the road. were you thinking that perhaps it may go against you? you were you thinking that perhaps it may go against you?— were you thinking that perhaps it may go against you? you can't tell that ou may go against you? you can't tell that you get _ may go against you? you can't tell that you get serbia _ may go against you? you can't tell that you get serbia with _ may go against you? you can't tell that you get serbia with centre - that you get serbia with centre forwards like they have and you have

to be careful about assuming things with these jewels, that's for certain. with these “ewels, that's for certain. ,, ., with these “ewels, that's for certain. ., ., ., certain. so final thought on the arou - ? certain. so final thought on the grow? we _ certain. so final thought on the grow? we are _ certain. so final thought on the group? we are hugely - certain. so final thought on the group? we are hugely excited l certain. so final thought on the l group? we are hugely excited to certain. so final thought on the - group? we are hugely excited to be art of the group? we are hugely excited to be part of the tournament, _ group? we are hugely excited to be part of the tournament, we - group? we are hugely excited to be part of the tournament, we know. group? we are hugely excited to be. part of the tournament, we know the expectation at home. we have developed a lot as a team in the last few years. we are getting used to these big games so we are ready for that expectation and we hope we can give our supporters some more didn't nights as we have done in the last few tournaments. wales still have to go through the play—offs if they're to be at euro 202a. but if they were to beat finland — and then the winner of poland against estonia. they would find themselves in group d — which looks like the toughest of all the groups because there you'll find france, netherlands and austria. out of all the groups that were coming out, that was probably one of the toughest groups.

we've got a lot of work to do yet to get there but the rewards are there. we are all in football because we want to manage the best teams, the best players and those teams in our group certainly fall into that category. defending champions italy, who beat gareth southgate's side on penalties in the 2020 final, are up against three—time winners spain, croatia and albania in group b. the final of euro 2024 will take place on ilijuly at berlin's 0lympiastadion. their title charge last season ended in disappointment — but arsenal were top for most of it and they are once again the team to catch in the premier league. four points clear of manchester city tonight, mikel arteta's side were too good for wolves this afternoon at the emirates, there was a nervy finish but it ended 2—1 to arsenal — who took charge early, bukayo saka scoring afterjust six minutes. the lead was then doubled before

a quarter of an hour was even played, by martin 0degaard. there should have been more goals for the home side but matheus cunha scored for wolves with four minutes to go which made things edgy but arsenal held on for the win. i'm really happy with the way the team performed. we were really dominant, we generated a lot, conceded almost nothing and at the end, it should have been much bigger scoreline but when you make a mistake and they take the chance, in the premier league, it is game on and the last few minutes were different than it should have been. 2—0 down, conceded the goals we did, was disappointing. especially the first one, because it was a _ especially the first one, because it was a situation that we had worked on a lot _

was a situation that we had worked on a lot. the second goal from arsenal— on a lot. the second goal from arsenal was incredible, the speed that they— arsenal was incredible, the speed that they moved the ball at. the lads stuck together and gave as much as they could to get us back in the game and gave arsenal a bit of a scare at the end. at the other end of the table — burnley have their biggest premier league win and finally their first three points at home this season after beating their relegation rivals sheffield united 5—0 at turf moor. jay rodriguez with the opener inside the first minute, five different goal scorers for vincent kompany�*s side whilst united had 0li mcburnie sent off before half time. burnley had lost their past six league games and all seven at home this season. it moves them within two points of safety. sheffield united are second from bottom for now, as the pressure mounts on manager paul heckingbottom whose side play liverpool on wednesday. relief, though, for kompany and his players. they have performed well for a while now. this league is brutal, you have to win the games and they did it in a fantastic fashion today. i have not felt the nerves,

i could barely contain them, i think they were raring to go. they have been waiting for it. the frustration of last week, i don't think it turned into negativity for us, it turned into something to show people. it's only a win, but for us it was an important moment. to start the game like that put us on the back foot and regardless of what the stats looked like at half—time, we gave burnley the advantage they needed. we got down to ten men as well. players can play their way out of the team, it's as simple as that sometimes. the players know what i think, i'm always honest with them and as one or two know, we have been let down today. sheffield united rock bottom of the league right now. after back to back defeats, brentford are winning against after a 3—1

victory over luton. all the goals coming in the second half, neal maupay with the opener for brentford who move into the top ten with the win. ben mee and shandon baptiste with their other goals. luton remain just outside the relegation zone. they play arsenal next followed by manchester city. we look forward to these games and we will try to make it difficult for the opposition and try and be very brave, and we want to win the games, whilst obviously recognising how good the opposition are. so we look forward to them, we need to recover and be better than we were today. so we will work hard and the players will work hard. they have done that so far this season when we have had any bump in the road. we will recover, and we look forward to tuesday. very impressive, with the amount of injuries we had. players stepping in. impressive, good and onto the next.

everton have beaten nottingham forest. they began the day right at that bottom but their ten point deduction for that financial rule breaking gave them a major headache. this is a huge relief. just one place from safety now, forest on 15th. there is still one premier league game to come tonight. there's an eight o'clock kick off between newcastle united and manchester united at st james' park tonight. newcastle united arriving at the back of that controversial i—i newcastle united arriving at the back of that controversial 1—1 draw, a good record at home this season.

ican i can show you saintjames park. he takes his place on the bench and majesty nightie making four changes from that site to drove. marcus rashford into attack,. kick off 15 minutes away. late drama at the hawthorns has ensured leicester city are top of the championship tonight after west brom were denied a share of the points. kiernan dewsbury—hall put leicester ahead in the 72nd minute scoring his sixth goal of the season. but west brom drew level late

on throuthosh madge, his first goal of the season. it looked like it was going to earn his side a well—earned point. but this late breakaway in the fourth minute of injury time saw harry winks slide the ball home, ensuring a a winning return to the hawthorns for leicester manager enzo maresca. ipswich remain a point behind the leaders leicester after they beat coventry at portman road. leeds are third with a 3—2 win over middlesborough, southampton just below them beat cardiff. watford were 2—1 winners at hull, whilst substitute adam randell kept his cool to score a 97th—minute winner for plymouth argyle as they beat fellow strugglers stoke city. hearts are up to third in the scottish premiership tonight as kilmarnock suffered a rare defeat at home. will dennis' own goal was the difference, giving the visitors a 1—0 win. there were six goals though at motherwell who scored a 97th minute equaliser to draw 3—3 with dundee. livingston ross county was postponed because of a frozen pitch. national league south high—flyers maidstone are into fa cup third round for the first time

since they rose from the ashes of the old maidstone united in 1992. they had to come from behind to beat league two barrow 2—1 and did it in spectacular style, thanks to midfielder bivesh gurung, with only his second goal for the club. 0ne he and maidstone fans will cherish for years to come. if anyone was going to score a winner like that, then it is him. he tries it in training and we have said about being positive when you are in those areas but you have also got to look at the past. it was absolutely spot on and then the execution in that moment was just brilliant, it was wonderful to watch. it was mesmerising. a goal in the 89th minute from danny collinge earned a replay for national league barnet as they drew 1—1 at league two

side newport county. in only his second match as manager, ged brannan guided league two morecambe to upset league one wycombe wanderers. eli king and tom bloxham's goals gave them a 2—0 win. there was no fairy tale for seventh tier club horsham against sutton. they were reinstated into the second round after barnsley were expelled forfielding an ineligible player. but sutton put their league two struggles behind them with 0mari patrick completing the 3—0 win to put them into the third round for the first time in seven years. it's massive and i haven't had the success in the fa cup for four years so eventually to get this round, so hopefully if we get a draw tomorrow, i'm really pleased. a top professional performance today. fix, professional performance today. a frustrating second half. i think in

the first— frustrating second half. i think in the first half, i think they did a lot of— the first half, i think they did a lot of the — the first half, i think they did a lot of the stuff we worked on during the week_ lot of the stuff we worked on during the week and may they started to get a bit the week and may they started to get a hit of— the week and may they started to get a bit of fatigue and you had get a bit a bit of fatigue and you had get a hit cloudy — a bit of fatigue and you had get a bit cloudy. i felt that we played into their — bit cloudy. i felt that we played into their hands for about 20 minutes, _ into their hands for about 20 minutes, some of the things that we dealt with— minutes, some of the things that we dealt with well in the first half, we didnt— dealt with well in the first half, we didn't get to grips with. i know they are _ we didn't get to grips with. i know they are a — we didn't get to grips with. i know they are a better side than us and everything — they are a better side than us and everything but i feel that we perhaps— everything but i feel that we perhaps didn't do ourselves justice in the _ perhaps didn't do ourselves justice in the second half. here are the rest of today's results. a couple of games were postponed because of the weather. highlights and reaction are on the bbc sport website. we'll have a bit more on the fa cup later. in rugby union's premiership, saracens — minus the injured 0wen farrell — missed the chance to go top of the table. they were beaten 18—12 at home by northampton saints. alex mitchell scored this superb second try for the visitors, who move into fifth place — level on points with sarries. and bristol bears beat local rivals

gloucester 51—26 to end a run of five successive defeats. harry thacker scored the last of the home side's seven tries to seal victory and also become bristol's top premiership try scorer. bath beat exeter chiefs. scarlets moved off the bottom of the united rugby championship with a narrow win over cardiff. scarlets triumphed 29—23 against a cardiff side, who played the last 50 minutes with ia men after ellis jenkins was sent off. scarlets full—backjohnny mcnicholl crossed in the corner for the visitors' winning try. seven games in total on saturday. two more games later including connacht against leinster.

there was a thrilling finish to the women's big bash in australia where defending champions adelaide strikers, including england's georgia adams, held on to their crown with a narrow three run victory over brisbane heat. stuart pollitt reports. 0n home turf under clear blue skies, adelaide strikers were red—hot favourites. but the heat was standing in their way. brisbane had found four in the final stages of this competition. adelaide got off to a fast start, the captain helping them to 70 of the first nine overs. but brisbane restricted adelaide to 125. with three balls left, they needed 11 to win. the new batter, first ball. six just inches over the rope.

this time, inches short. that meant five was needed from the final delivery. when the brisbane batters could not find the boundary, adelaide could embrace. they get their hands on the trophy for a second successive season. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. huw nightingale and charlotte bankes clinched britain's first team snowboard cross world cup medal with gold in les deux alpes in france. france finished second with the united states completing the podium. great britain's kirsty muir claimed silver to seal her first big air world cup podium finish in beijing. the 19—year—old scot came fourth in her first world cup appearance of the season last weekend in austria, after bad weather ended the competition early. mathilde gremaud of switzerland took gold.

and jump—jockey gavin sheehan said "it means the world" after he won newbury�*s big race of the year, the coral gold cup, in thick fog on �*dat�*s all right gino. it was a first win in the prestigious handicap for local trainerjamie snowden. ronnie 0'sullivan is through to the final of the uk snooker championship after beating iran's hossein vafaei 6 frames to 2 in the semi—finals. it might not have been so straight forward had this shot not cost vafaei the chance to pull the score back to 4—3. 0'sullivan then showed why he's the world number one, bringing the last red into play, to go on to take that frame and he eventually went on to clinch the match in style. this will be his 9th uk final and if he wins, it'll be for a record extending eighth time. iam i am never bothered by what my partners do. i'm always focused,

searching for a game that is going to win the tournament. i'm never thinking, it helps sometimes if your opponents don't feel great against you and you still win tournaments, but it doesn't matter who i play. i'm going to go out there and play solid and if a play solid, the other guys have to play brilliant to beat me, so that our satisfaction comes more with that for me. it's hard to be happy with that when you are used to winning, or you feel like you are capable of winning. judd trump and china's ding junhui is under way in york. you can watch on bbc two, iplayer and the bbc sport website. and finally, back to the fa cup and the lowest ranked club left in the competition are ramsgate

from the 8th tier, so 4 divisions below the professional leagues. they have a dream tie on monday night against former cup winners wimbledon and not surprisingly the kent coastal town is rocking with excitement, as mike bushell reports. a town so proud and ramsgate has a history of singing out loud. just over 200 years ago, king george iv set sail from here and was so impressed by the sendoff he received, he made ramsgate the only royal harbour. the town's football team is making history in the fa cup. ramsgate are through! into the second round for the first time. it's what it's all about, the underdogs, it's not the size of the dog,

it's the fight in the dog. the players know they are building something special, it's all defender jack has been talking about with his brother as they work on their family landscape gardening project. it helps keep the buzz in the changing room, we are over the moon for the team. this is what striker and salesman joe has been dreaming of playing for 15 years in the amateur leagues. he is already a hero with colleagues. he has got nine goals in seven matches. he is in the running to be the fa cup's top scorer this season. that could mean he would be in wembley anyway come may to collect the award. not that this guarantees him or a team a day off on their day jobs on monday, ahead of the big game at wimbledon. we have all gotjobs and families to feed so it might benefit wimbledon. the fa cup is the chance for players like me to dream.

it gives you moments that you and your family look back on. ramsgate do have some fa cup experience on their side. 20 years ago, lee martyn was bought by sir alex ferguson at manchester united in a million pound deal. at the age of 36, he has been tempted out of retirement to bring his careerfull circle. it's funny how life works. a manager managed to how me to get me out of retirement. i didn't know whether i wanted to continue, hopefully there is magic left us in the fa cup. only in this unique competition you get the stories that bring the top and the bottom of the footballing pyramid together and the power to transform the whole feature of the team. we are ambitious, we want to go up a couple levels so from a financial point of view, it certainly helps, but it gets everyone invited point of view, it certainly helps,

but it gets everyone excited and that it's what it's all about. these are the moments young fans will never forget and will be able to tell future generations about when ramsgate really were massive. plenty of fa cup reaction and preview over on the bbc sport website. you will also be able to follow what happens at newcastle, where manchester united are the visitors there. kick—off is about four minutes away. we have had a for next year's euro 2024, the opening match will see scotland play hosts germany. that is all for now. thank you for watching. good night. hello there. although much of the country today

has been very cold but dry with a bit of sunshine, some mist and fog, we've seen some snow showers across western wales, northwest england, some frequent and heavy snow showers for cumbria. the met office issued an amber warning for cumbria for these snow showers. but it's this line of snow showers which has been affecting irish sea coasts of england and wales, which will pep up through the evening and overnight as it spreads its way eastwards. so, we see a couple of centimetres of snow north of the m4 corridor, even down to lower levels, and that snow will push across northern, eastern england towards the end of the night. further accumulations, more than a couple of centimetres, perhaps, over the higher ground. a cold night to come. ice will be a significant risk where snow and sleet will be falling. very cold across northern scotland — —10, —11 degrees, but perhaps frost—free across southern england. now, to start sunday, we'll have that wintry mix across eastern areas first thing and then it'll clear away, and then england and wales staying rather cloudy with further outbreaks of rain at times.

but the far north of england, northern ireland, scotland will have a bright day with some sunshine, but it will stay cold, especially across scotland, perhaps a little less cold across the south, perhaps up to double figures there for plymouth and for the channel islands. that's all because of this area of low pressure, which will move in during sunday night into monday. so, it looks like the start of the new week will be cloudy, wet, windy across large parts of england and wales. and we'll see showers moving in off the north sea affecting eastern scotland. these will have a wintry flavour to them, so the best of the sunshine will tend to be across the north and the west of the uk. a cold day to come despite the fact temperatures a little bit higher in the south. because of the wind, certainly, it's going to feel quite raw. tuesday, that area of low pressure pulls out into the north sea, so its eastern parts of scotland, east england, which will see the strongest of the winds, further wintry showers further north and west, thanks to a ridge of high pressure. it looks like it will be cold, but at least dry and bright blue skies and plenty of sunshine. another cold day to come wherever you are. the cold weather persists into wednesday, but after wednesday,

you'll notice the blue colours move northwards and we start to see the orange colours taking over. it will be turning a lot milder towards the end of the week, but with that milder air comes more unsettled conditions. we'll see low pressure systems bringing spells of wet and windy weather to all areas. see you later. live from london, this is bbc news.
