Good evening. Birmingham City have survived in the | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
Championship with almost the last kick of the season. They equalised | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
in the third minute of stoppage time to earn a 2`2 draw at Bolton. And | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
that was enough to avoid relegation on goal difference. Ian Winter was | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
at the game. They'd travelled north dressed for | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
an end of season party. But fearing an end of season wake. Over the | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
years, Birmingham City fans have come to expect the unexpected. But | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
none of them saw this one coming. It was crazy. | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
Outside, the England legend Nat Lofthouse listened to the cheers as | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
Bolton raced into a 2`0 lead. With 12 minutes left, Birmingham were | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
down and out of the Championship. And that's when their Serbian | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
striker Nicola Zigic made it 2`1 to throw Blues a possible lifeline. | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
And then, incredibly, in the third minute of stoppage time, the | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
unthinkable happened. Paul Caddis popped in one priceless goal to | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
steal one precious point and trigger one huge celebration. Mission | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
accomplished, survival on goal difference, Doncaster down instead. | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
Amazing scenes here. Birmingham City have survived by the skin of their | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
teeth. The fans cannot believe it. It has been the most remarkable, | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
dramatic end to a dramatic season. That is what football is all about. | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
They kept on going. I have just said to the players, let's use this as a | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
learning curve. We have diced with death is a bit. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
To go down and then come back like that is amazing. Everyone saw the | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
joy of the fans. Tonight, news of the Blues' great | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
escape will have reached Hong Kong where Carson Yeung is serving six | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
years for money laundering. His reaction is unknown. But there's no | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
mistaking the pure delight and sheer relief of thousands of Birmingham | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
City fans this evening. What a season. | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
And you can see more on the match on tonight's Football League Show at | :02:21. | :02:31. | |
quarter to midnight. Onto football now and in the | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Premiership, Aston Villa beat Hull at home 3`1, almost guaranteeing | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
their place for another season and a comfortable win for Stoke against | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
Fulham 4`1. And in League One, a 1`1 draw for | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Shrewsbury away at Gillingham, a goalless draw for Port Vale, also | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
away at Peterborough. Coventry City were beaten by Sheffield United 2`1, | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
while Walsall lost to Warriors, relegated back to the | :02:49. | :03:09. | |
Championship after losing 44`20 to the Saracens, while Gloucester beat | :03:10. | :03:20. | |
London Irish at home 35`30. The 21st National Open Dwarf Games | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
got under way this morning, at Birmingham's Alexander Stadium. Over | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
the course of the weekend, around 200 athletes with dwarfism will | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
compete against one another in sports including athletics, | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
swimming, basketball and rifle shooting. Paralympian Ellie Simmonds | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
is a patron of the Dwarf Sports Association. | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
This is grassroots sport, really, at its best. It is great to be here and | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
to see them all enjoying it and hopefully they will get inspired by | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
it all and maybe find a sport for them that they enjoy for the future. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
It shows that the legacy of London is continuing with record numbers of | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
dwarf athletes competing. | :03:57. | :04:50. |
