7:34 pm
since 2011 friday fa cup, even more concerning in this competition was that in 2013, they lost to begin athletic or regulated a week later, when the grace upsets an fa cup history, this was the one trophy nesting from their side of a resume and pat guardiola's and they got it and pat guardiola's and they got it and in some style they came in to make history and did so in quite a spectacular fashion, make history and did so in quite a spectacularfashion, it was make history and did so in quite a spectacular fashion, it was a game that a live long in memory in certain moments that live long in memory to as craig reports. the old wembley was a sight of grady of the finest hour as a player, could anyone be when his team winds and historic travel? watford and the first cup final 35 years look to provide a sting in the tail. he knows the importance of taking the chances. because that's what city dies and when david so that gave the opportunity, he took it. when his
7:35 pm
na m esa ke opportunity, he took it. when his namesake bernardo was allowed space it was two, i gabriel thought he scored it but it was a man who grew up scored it but it was a man who grew up in the shadow of wembley with a final touch. perhaps not how rahim sterling dream did, but they all count. starling provided kevin to go to mass. they were not done yet and there was still time for gabriel jesus to get the goal the performance dessert. and for breaking starling to score not only his second, they start as well. that's probably more like how the dream would've gone. six goals, three domestic trophies, history made. of grace in the final four not far watford and the result is what it is, but yeah we finished an incredible year for us, so for everyone, congratulations especially the paint —— play because they are
7:36 pm
the paint —— play because they are the reason why we won this title. that starts with the manager, we set the standard at beginning of the season and said we have to go back and it's the group, positive group, and it's the group, positive group, and players and talent and a question need and that's why we did it. we knew before the game, you have to play the perfect game, i think we started well, we created the best chance after ten minutes, we didn't score with roberto act our option and after that, they dominated again, we scored goal is in the second half, they dominated the game and it was difficult for us trying to price, our hearts made the effort and we could not do it, we could not do a better, they were a better and congratulations to dan that we tried and maybe next time.
7:37 pm
it was heartbreak for watford, but manchester city got better and better, they are collecting trophies ata better, they are collecting trophies at a rate that english football has rarely seen. we mustn't forget though, that off the paycheque it's not quite as smooth, and perhaps they will not want this to be the day they talk about it but only this week, they were the subject of reports they could be banned from the champions he for one season for breaking financial rules, they are also being investigated over the signing of youth players, but today, they made headlines for the right reasons on the pitch and this will be an iconic victory not just for them, you mentioned 1903 at the top of the programme but also breaking starling scoring high trick the first person to do so in an fa cup final since the 1950s. manchester city limit, their level seems to show no limits, and i think the rivals especially domestic competition will really be fearing that now, a lot more had they got to
7:38 pm
get, but they will be looking to replicate this binary in europe which has been the one place they had not been able to break through and quite such prolific fashion. as for those three trophies, they will be on display monday when city conduct a parade around the city centre, so if you thought celebrations are while you are today, wait until you see them up north on monday. thank you, david i don't think i'll be one of those taking part. yeah little bit. in the scottish premiership, st mirren have won back to back league games for the first time this season but they will still face a play—off to stay in the top division. cody cooke scored a hat—trick as they beat already—relegated dundee 3—2 in their last game of the regular season. . . but hamilton's 2—nil win at home to stjohnstone means st mirren finish 11th — and will now face dundee united in the play—off final. just the one other game today, that saw motherwell complete their season with a 3—2 win at home to livingston. the top six sides in the league play theirfinal games tomorrow afternoon.

7:41 pm
u nsteady for the set she wanted. but she grew unsteady and a second and contest seized on the mistake. 0nce unsteady and a second and contest seized on the mistake. once at all, momentum with jan heine. previously she found things nationally, but in the third she melded to it. feather touch blended with sledgehammer power, by now than i try to escape hergrip, the line power, by now than i try to escape her grip, the linejust to pity. she didn't, she's into the first and final, and a week before french oven, found form the last place she thinks to look. well the leaders at the us pga championships begin their third rounds just over an hour's time, but the question on everyone's lips going into this weekend is can anyone stop brooks koepka? the defending champion had a 7 shot lead at the halfway stage and is making one of golf‘s hardest courses look like a walk in park. 0ur golf correspondent iain carter is on long islandq* how

i see you nodding along an agreement it's been brilliant, beeping to keep it's been brilliant, beeping to keep it going? he shows no sign of faltering, i think the scary thing for the rest of the field is the fa ct for the rest of the field is the fact that he didn't play particularly well yesterday and felt the need to go straight to the range after his 65, which tech can to 12 under par. if an extraordinary start come up restaurant 63, i one has covered that opening 36 holes of any major championship and so few number of shots. 128 being record by two. making his way to the first tee he looks as though he has a brimful of confidence, and imposing burly physique he has, he's been overpowering the golf course and it's been absolutely remarkable to this point, but of course still two rounds to go. we might see equally remarkable if he has overhauled the
7:43 pm
people charged with doing that bind them on leaderboard jordan and adam scott do you think they will attack them from the start? they will have to play positively but also be aware that any mistake will count them out in the contest, both had different pressures to deal with. jordan speed has not had a top 20 finish, since september last year. that shows a kind of inconsistency that's read out his game, be equally has the motivation that where he to end, he become only the six demand to com plete become only the six demand to complete the career grand slam of winning all four major titles. i scott pie there is traditionally very shaky we saw that the masters and end 64 yesterday, so demons to be conquered there. i think looking further down the leaderboard, dustin johnson will be a threat, and a good start from justin rose, i can for the first and he's got four under par. are golf corresponded, i thank you forjoining us.
7:44 pm
well the main question on the final day of the regular season in rugby union's premiership was the not so small‘ matter of a place in the post—season play—offs. in the end it boiled down to a shootout between harlequins and northampton saints and it was saints who took the vital fourth spot despite defeat at table toppers exeter ben croucher watched the action... trying to keep track of the various presentations is enough to make anybody busy, likely not have been in their hands by beating exeter at least, early lead, certainly helping, it went to guarantee a tougherfourfinish helping, it went to guarantee a tougher four finish disappeared as the discipline short—handed, northampton fell behind. not emerge from a quick game of hide and seek with the ball and tried, i bade dennis pushed to clear the saints could march no further though, luke confirmed their fate beaten by 40 points 221. all of this meant harlequin could swine the plaid
7:45 pm
party at wasps only for their finale to have a sting in the tail, first blow from josh may not have been too painful especially when you have joe marching on your side bulldozing cla n marching on your side bulldozing clan crucially clear, once a wasp has sung that stunned they come back and deliver my pain, just and say not once but twice in dating the back line to maintain their own faint hope of champion ship. staggering, but struggling, quinn fell short but hang on, somewhere in the gaggle list elliot touching down putting them within touching distance at the top four finish. as the roller coaster campaign to pass the roller coaster campaign to pass the final minute, james had a chance to win it. that close. nine months, 20 notches, 1760 minutes, it all came down to a matter of inches. enough to put your head in a spin. so here's how things end up in the english premiership... northampton‘s defeat
7:46 pm

7:47 pm
points at half time. but catalans were too strong in the second half — scoring four tries to win in front of a record crowd of over 31,000. big day interns and silverware and netball. karthi and emily are here to take us through it.. trophies galore so far and we have more coming up in the month of may. and this summer with the world cup. today manchester thunder have beaten wasps to win the 2019 netball superleague title and coming up over injuly we have the netball world cup in liverpool. i think many expected wasp experience at the big occasion would went out today, but crucially thunder knew they could write all of them having beaten them twice in the regular season, it was that belief i suppose they carried them through
7:48 pm
and they needed it, they twice trailed by six goals in the match, six going and to the final quarter, wasp had pushed on after the break, they establish that lead, heading for a third straight title but after an injury to the regular go shooter, ellie came on and change the game she showed great composer as they pulled off a victory that looked and night —— unlikely with 15 minutes ago, a great moment for them, i first went to 2014. considering how hotly contested this was between two top teens, but annie had done anything to change what would happen in the next week or so with international coming up with yellow the england squad announcement is due thursday, there was a usual reliability from wasp centre, she's the most capped player and a veteran goal shooter would have gotten myself any harm either, she's always consistent under the post but the one you might have caught is allie
