:02:18. > :02:22.today. I think it is well documented that, as an England side, we tend to
:02:23. > :02:26.start a series not overly well. That is something we have mentioned in
:02:27. > :02:29.the changing room which is non-negotiable. With the way the
:02:30. > :02:34.World Cup is set up, a lot of good teams are not going to make it to
:02:35. > :02:38.the semifinal. You have to put yourself out there as a front runner
:02:39. > :02:42.to start with. And there's commentary of that match on Radio 5
:02:43. > :02:45.live Sports Extra, the game starts at 1:30pm. Now women's golf has a
:02:46. > :02:49.new star. We reported last week on teenager Charley Hull's first win of
:02:50. > :02:51.her professional career at a tournament in Morocco. And it seems
:02:52. > :03:00.she's inspiring the next generation of British female golfers. Jessica
:03:01. > :03:05.Creighton reports. English teenager, Charley Hull, has won her
:03:06. > :03:10.first title on the ladies European tour. Charley Hull is the talk of
:03:11. > :03:15.women's golf. Last year she won the Rookie of the year award. Last week
:03:16. > :03:22.she won the cup on the ladies European tour, all before her 18th
:03:23. > :03:28.birthday. I am still 17 and I win. It is fantastic, the best birthday
:03:29. > :03:37.present I can have. The tour has long featured some of the top
:03:38. > :03:42.women's professional golfers. Just as she enjoyed great success as an
:03:43. > :03:47.amateur, so did Lauren Taylor. She was the youngest winner of the
:03:48. > :03:52.amateur championship at just 17. In the same year she won the BBC Sports
:03:53. > :03:57.Personality of the Year award. Here, in Morocco, shoot me her first year
:03:58. > :04:03.as professional was proving more tricky. You have to be a lot more
:04:04. > :04:09.consistent as a professional. You have to put the hours in and
:04:10. > :04:15.practice. These payers have to get used to the challenge of life on the
:04:16. > :04:23.road. I have so many friends in the amateur game. On the tour, you do
:04:24. > :04:27.not know many people. I think it is just more your idols playing golf
:04:28. > :04:33.and you are playing with them. She is younger than many of her British
:04:34. > :04:37.team-mates but she is seen as an inspiration. Sally Watson played
:04:38. > :04:42.alongside her when they were both parameters. Grabbing up with and
:04:43. > :04:46.competing with Charley Hull, she has done incredibly well since she
:04:47. > :04:49.turned professional. Knowing I can compete with them gives me a great
:04:50. > :05:01.amount of confidence that I can do the same. Some names to watch out
:05:02. > :05:05.for in the future. Stephanie Slater started swimming as a toddler and as
:05:06. > :05:08.a teenager hoped her talent would shine on the international stage.
:05:09. > :05:11.She's now a European record holder and three time medallist at the
:05:12. > :05:17.World Championships. But she could never have predicted her path to
:05:18. > :05:23.success as Kate Grey reports. In 2010, Stephanie Slater was one of
:05:24. > :05:27.Britten 's most promising swimmers. But the home Olympics in her sights,
:05:28. > :05:33.she was on the brink of achieving her lifetime goal. I learned to swim
:05:34. > :05:46.when I was three years old. I won three National medals at 16. I was
:05:47. > :05:51.trying to qualify for London 2012. But her life genetic change during
:05:52. > :05:55.irregular training session. Following a dive start, she was
:05:56. > :06:01.unable to force her arm through the water. Did she know, that would be
:06:02. > :06:06.the end of her Olympic dream. I was training and one day my arm went
:06:07. > :06:11.numb. I was out of the water for two years, having tests and getting a
:06:12. > :06:16.diagnosis. I found out I had nerve damage and I cannot swim with that
:06:17. > :06:21.aren't any more. It was a very hard time. I went back home to my mum, my
:06:22. > :06:27.dad and my brother and they really supported me. Determined not to let
:06:28. > :06:33.her condition get the better of her, she had to rebuild her strength
:06:34. > :06:37.and confidence. I went to the Paralympics as a games maker. When I
:06:38. > :06:43.went there, it gave me the inspiration to get back into the
:06:44. > :06:46.pool. She splits her training between Preston and at the National
:06:47. > :06:50.performance Centre. After winning gold and two silvers at the World
:06:51. > :06:59.Championship 's last summer, she is one to watch in the build-up to Rio
:07:00. > :07:03.2016. It is fantastic. We have such an amazing athlete as part of the
:07:04. > :07:10.team, going forward. She would be a massive part of our team. Not only
:07:11. > :07:17.has she made the transition into disability sport, she has done it in
:07:18. > :07:23.style. I got a qualifying time at Leeds. I was like, oh gosh, I can
:07:24. > :07:28.actually do this! We went to the second trials and I broke the
:07:29. > :07:33.European record. I still see myself as a swimmer. I do not see myself
:07:34. > :07:38.any different from what I was before, even though I was swimming
:07:39. > :07:40.with one arm. Paralympics is my main aim in 2016. Hopefully I can make it
:07:41. > :07:50.to their. So, the Rio Olympics is the target
:07:51. > :07:53.for Stephanie Slater, while two British athletes hope those Games
:07:54. > :07:59.will see them competing for their countryside by side. Becky Downie is
:08:00. > :08:01.already an established member of the national gymnastics squad and her
:08:02. > :08:03.younger sister Ellie is hoping to emulate her success. Emily Croydon
:08:04. > :08:18.has been to meet them. Two sisters on an ordinary night at
:08:19. > :08:26.home but these are no ordinary sisters.
:08:27. > :08:37.Becky Downie is Britain 's best female finisher in an all-round
:08:38. > :08:42.competition. She is back to her best. She made her first world final
:08:43. > :08:47.last year. At 22, she is relatively old for a gymnast but she is focused
:08:48. > :08:52.on more success. I would love to try to bring home the Commonwealth bar
:08:53. > :08:56.title, if I were lucky enough to be selected on the team. My aim is to
:08:57. > :09:04.keep the routine, Bill consistency and work on the execution so I can
:09:05. > :09:08.get the best score. -- build the consistency. That is what is driving
:09:09. > :09:13.me to keep moving forward into hopefully getting that. At 14, her
:09:14. > :09:19.sister have to keep moving forward into hopefully getting that. At 14,
:09:20. > :09:23.her sister has two combined. Last year she won gold and silver at the
:09:24. > :09:30.European youth Olympic Festival. Next year, she will compete as a
:09:31. > :09:35.senior. Training alongside her sister means Ellie is never short of
:09:36. > :09:39.support. Having a successful older sibling also has its downside.
:09:40. > :09:44.Sometimes there is a bit of pressure. When Becky Downie was
:09:45. > :09:47.little, and she won seven British titles. That is pressure too much
:09:48. > :10:05.but also an inspiration. At the moment, the girls are
:10:06. > :10:10.training for the British Championships. For Becky, a crucial
:10:11. > :10:14.step on the road to this year 's three major competitions. For Ellie,
:10:15. > :10:19.a chance to shine in her final year as a junior. Is it possible these
:10:20. > :10:26.sisters could compete together in a British team at the Olympic Games in
:10:27. > :10:36.Rio? They are very good together. They should both get to the team and
:10:37. > :10:42.rear. Hopefully we can get gold on the bars for Becky and on the vault
:10:43. > :10:52.for Ellie. It would be a dream country. This year, four years of
:10:53. > :10:55.commemoration begins, to mark 100 years since the outbreak of the
:10:56. > :10:59.First World War. Events are being held across the country and around
:11:00. > :11:01.the world to remember the millions who died this week, football has
:11:02. > :11:05.been holding its own memorial. Patrick Gearey has been to the
:11:06. > :11:08.battlefields of France. It is the Cup Final, April 1914. For the first
:11:09. > :11:12.time, King George is watching as Burnley play Liverpool. For these
:11:13. > :11:16.victorious Burnley players and other young men, life would not stay so
:11:17. > :11:22.carefree. Within months, what would become known as the Great War would
:11:23. > :11:26.begin. We tend to think of footballers today as being a
:11:27. > :11:30.different breed somehow. The crop of a century ago ended up as being in
:11:31. > :11:40.the same place as most young men of that age bracket in northern France,
:11:41. > :11:43.on the battlefield and, all too often, in cemeteries. A century on
:11:44. > :11:45.from the start of the war, those in charge of football have come to
:11:46. > :11:54.remember those whose careers and lives were cut short. You look at
:11:55. > :12:00.these committees were boys of 20, 19, 2122. They gave up a career in
:12:01. > :12:04.football and came out here. Some of them were players, somewhat club
:12:05. > :12:13.officials. They came out to fight in the. Initially, football tried to
:12:14. > :12:17.play on. They were called greedy and patriotic. Donald Bell was awarded
:12:18. > :12:27.The Victoria Cross. He did not survive to receive it. Others joined
:12:28. > :12:29.a football battalion with fans. Hearts sent particularly large
:12:30. > :12:36.delegations to the front line. Those who transferred seamlessly -- among
:12:37. > :12:42.those who transferred seamlessly from football field to battlefield
:12:43. > :12:53.was all to hole. He was a pioneering black footballer and soldier. --
:12:54. > :13:04.Walter Hull. They should never be forgotten. They showed bravery. It
:13:05. > :13:17.is for the modern generation to remember them. Hears is now a name
:13:18. > :13:23.on a wall. The memorial was a brief -- at the memorial was a wreath from
:13:24. > :13:27.Northampton Town. It is an attempt to remember some enduring heroes.
:13:28. > :13:34.That's just about it from me for now just time to bring you up to date
:13:35. > :13:39.with the lunchtime football matches. Chelsea are 2-0 up against Arsenal.
:13:40. > :13:41.In the Championship, the East Midlands derby has extra
:13:42. > :13:48.significance with both Derby and Nottingham Forest chasing play off
:13:49. > :13:50.places. That is it. Goodbye.
