10:55 pm
for the next season, we cannot afford it. it is impossible. all the clubs are struggling financially, we are not an exception. they have played incredible in this position, young players in the academy who play. i don't what is going to happen. maybe it is going to be him, maybe, but maybe we are not going to buy any striker for the next season. now with covid restrictions still affecting super league, st helen's stadium hosted both of today's games. a tough day for leigh as they were beaten 44—12 by warrington while castleford came through a tight match with leeds 18—10. alex gulrajani watched the action. the dream returned to super liquor wasn't to be last week with a narrow defeat to wigan. today's test against warranting proved to be another uphill battle. half an hour on the clock in the game was effectively over as the a contest.
10:56 pm
four tries including this from gareth went up gave warrington a huge advantage at the break. and it was a gap that wouldn't come close to closing. four more tries for wolves and the second would've wrap things up as they rent out 40 for —— 12 winners. lead rhinos and tigers were looking to build on opening weekend wins. it was tigers who pass her head early with two tries. the second coming from nigh levels. the rhinos fought back briscoe got the moving in the right direction. and when pryor went over in the second half became a two—point game. they would have enough and something a little bit more to come turner's third try of the season enough for them to seal victory. season enough for them to seal victory. alex gulrajani, bbc news. the first women's major of the year, the ana inspiration in california, is looking really competitive as the second round continues. england's georgia hall

10:58 pm
sporting bodies in the letter i've seen they are damning in their criticism of the japanese organisers and the nations government when it comes to covid protocols and also safety. it's obviously a huge blow for divers like daley and lord who would do to compete but it's also the last thing that the olympic organisers needed at a time when the japanese public are beginning to become increasingly sceptical about whether the game should be taking place in their country at all. country at all. nick hope, bbc news. and that's all the sport for now. hello there a of dry weather behind that weather front by the time we get to easter monday it will be much colder. an arctic and a strong writing north wind. it's still going to be chilly enough this morning with a touch of frost, a little bit
