ME 3:34 The Daily Telegraph, Thursday, March 27, 1980 Last Night's Soccer WOODCOCK, FRANCIS SMOOTH ENGLAND'S en.3 VICTORY PATH By DENIS LOWE in Barcelona Spain 0 England 2 ENGLAND, beaten only twice in 24 matches under the shrewd Greenwood, continued in the vast Nou Camp when goals, one in each cock and Trevor friendly international Treating the match as a pean Championship between next June, England gave a 78. at times highly polished performance. Very satisfactory from both the individual and team view- points. The only flaw was some careless first-half finishing a before and after Woodcock, who left Nottingham for a Cologne last November, scored in the 16th minute. In fact, Francis, Woodcock's former club partner and a Nottingham Forest hero in East Berlin last week, might have scored I three times before his marvellous clinching goal in the 65th minute.
This pair always posed awkward problems for a robust Spanish defence. Mr. Greenwood, though, would have been happy that so many which has been the strongest scoring opportunities were created a against a back four part of the Spanish team for some time, Behind Francis and Woodcock, constant tormentors of Migueli and Alesanco, the admirable -Coppell, out of form in recent weeks, gave every ounce of effort in a roving role, and had a hand in both goals. Keegan quiet For once Keegan, always shadowed by two defenders, did not need to play a major part in the events, but the England captain busied himself and received fine support from Wilkins and Kennedy who on this occasion was preferred to Brooking on the left side of the field. While the reliable Shilton, given the goalkeeper's vote over Clemence, had to make two notable second half saves from Gordillo and Satrustegui, Spain's shooing, mainly from long range, was not good enough to trouble a man of his ability.
Apart from one early alarm, when Wilkins came to the rescue with a timely clearance, Thompson and Watson were solid and commanding in the middle of England's defenice, ad Neal ad Mills covered and tackled effectively the flanks. Bearzot watches Spain, fielding a largely experimental side including two new caps, were best served by their goalkeeper, Arconada, from Real Sociedad, the league leaders, who foiled Francis on no fewer than four occasions and also kept out good attempts by Woodcock and Wilkins. Woodcock should have scored as early as the fourth minute, and two near misses by Francis followed before England, watched management of Ron their successful run Stadium last night, half, by Tony WoodFrancis, decided this against Spain. rehearsal for the Eurothe two sides in Italy sound, accomplished and by Enzo Bearzot, Italy's manager, went in front. Woodcock, fed by Coppell, ran half the length of the pitch before squeezing his shot past Arconada and Urguiaga, the defender on the goal line, from close range.
Woodcock was hurt in the process of scoring, but soon recovered. Volker Roth, the West German referee, ignored Spanish went penalty appeals when Saura down under Watson's challenge, and Coppell and Francis were desperately close, to further from goals before Arconada dashed his line like a sprinter to block Francis once again. Spain used three second-half substitutes in an attempt to revive, but England made sure with a second goal from a glorious move. Wilkins began it with a long clearance, Coppell took over to release a perfect pass and Francis came storming through to drive a low rightfooted shot past the goalkeeper's right hand. Alesanco wa sbooked for a foul on Woodcock as Spain continued to hand out rough treatment to the England strikers, and Cunnignham, much to the delight of Spanish and English supporters, made a brief appearance when Francis limped off after a marvellous night's work.

LIFELESS NORWICH SLUMP By a Special Correspondent Aston Villa 2 Norwich C. 0 AFTER missing a variety of chances, Aston Villa discovered a suitable alternative when Cowans broke the deadlock at Villa Park by scoring from the penalty spot after 72 minutes. His success, after Hoadley had wrestled Swain to the ground, ended Villa's run of six games without a win but extended Norwich's similar sequence to 10 matches.
Villa's second goal came from substitute Hopkins on the only occasion he touched the ball after replacing Linton during injury time. The teenager had a simple task to roll the ball into the net after Morley had beaten Norwich for pace. as demonstrated 6855 the ceaseVilla's appetite hard work, less running of Bremner and the voung right back.

DOUBLE BLOW FOR OXFORD By a Special Correspondent Reading 2 Oxford. 1 Two Reading goals in a nine minute spell capped a of disaster for Oxford United after they had battled for more than an hour with only men.
This plight was of their own making, however, because they had goalkeeper Burton carried off with a head wound requiring six stitches following a fifth minute collision with teammate Briggs, and right back Kingston was sent off four minutes from half time. Burton's 15 minute absence for treatment was hardly noticed thanks to the competence of emergency 'keeper McIntosh and a Reading attack lacking ideas in the torrential rain. Kingston, booked after 35 minutes for fouling Moreline, then received a stiff lecture for toppling Sanchez and in the 41st minute he left referee Alf Grey with option after crashing into Heale. After 63 minutes Heale got into the Oxford area, Fogg brought him down and Reading skipper Bowman scored from the penalty spot. Nine minutes later Sanchez let fly from 25 yards saw his shot cannon back off the post and Williams tucked in the rebound.

NAVY HAVE DOUBLE SUCCESS By DAVID WIGGINS By KEN MAYS England 1, Spain 0 OSMAN, the young Ipswich defender, salvaged some of only goal, nine minutes match at Roker Park, Sunderland. He wandered unmarked to the far post to head in a Devonshire free kick following a foul on Anderson.
It was what England deserved, but they had only themselves to blame for being in such an anxious position after dominating a poor, often shabby spectacle. Three Spaniards, De Andres, Victor and Montero, were booked as they defended for almost 90 minutes, often using unorthodox methods, to prevent the keen but incapable England attack from getting through. When England did make an impression they were foiled by Agustin, Real Madrid's reserve goalkeeper Spaniards' only outstanding player. Mariner offside Elliott--making his debut at this level on his home groundBirtles and Robson were the best players for England. The result might have been considerably different had Mariner not been offside when Robson netted in the 12th minute.
Birtles had several half chances that Brian Clough at Forest would have expected him to put away. Armstrong was put clear after 20 minutes but a desperate tackle by De Andres, for which he was shown the prevented the Middlesbrough man from getting in a shot. The small, often silent, crowd were equally unimpressed in the half. The Spaniards preferred. not to a venture too far and England could do little to break them down.
The goal came from a comedy situation when a Spaniard brought down Anderson and then stayed on the ground himself. When play finally restarted Devonshire, with his most effective touch of the night found Osman unmarked.

World Light-heavyweight Championship By the right- -Conteh is ready By DONALD SAUNDERS in Atlantic City JOHN CONTEH is SO determined to regain the light heavyweight championship of the world, that he has spent £20,000 of his own money over the past three months on preparation for his challenge to Matthew Saad Muhammad, in Atlantic City on Saturday. 66 I'm getting very well paid for the fight pointed out Conteh, who will collect £165,000 for the return bout with Muhammad, at the Resorts International Hotel.
"You just can't cut corners over matters like this. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to win back the title and I want to make the most of it. It's been quite expensive because there are 14 of us cluding my wife, my two children, their nanny, other members of the family and my training entourage. But the financial gain from winning back the title will be far greater than the expense of training." Conteh's bill would have been even bigger if Resorts International had not offered facilities on Paradise Island, in the Bahamas, for 12 days before he flew into Atlantic: City last weekend. More traditional students of the noble art are a little surprised at his choice of a sub tropical island for the most crucial period of training, before a fight that will take place in a New Jersey city whose present climate reminds, me of raw England's pride with the from the end of a frustrating Women's Hockey ENGLAND KEEP BUSF CROWN By RACHAEL FLINT TINGLAND retained the British Universities Sports hockey rechampionship, at St Andrews yesterday, but Northern Ireland did well to hold them to a goalless draw in their morning match.

Not only did their seniors win the championship for the first time since 1972, but the Under-21 team retained their title by beating the Royal Air Force 3-2 after extra time. That game had to be transferred to Aldershot, and barely had the youngsters returned to Hillingdon fine voice than the first were striding off with their place assured in next season's county championship. Nothing went right for the RAF.
Though they survived considerable pressure in the first half, they squandered too many chances when playing up the slope, and they were beaten by a penalty stroke converted by Baxter with only three minutes left. At first the RAF looked brisk and purposeful. The Navy, however. set up a series of dancerous attacks, led by May, hunched and skilful, and Drury, who got in two or three quick shots to test Doyle. Stein's new Scots stamp authority Scotland 4 Portugal 1 JOCK STEIN'S much convincing attacking Championship match against Park to foster their World Cup hopes.
Superb finishing by Kenny Dalglish and Andy Gray inside the first 25 minutes buckled the Portuguese. Then Steve Archibald, substitute for Dalglish early in the second half, scored the third in the 68th minute lift the 20,000 crowd to full Gemmill penalty Archie Gemmill, the captain, with a penalty in the 83rd minute following a push on Gray by Hamberto capped a memorable night for Mr Stein's men. But doubts remain about the defence, which looked suspect at times against a swift Portuguese attack who might have done better with sharper finishing. With Belgium already through to this summer's European finals, the match was purely a battle for psychological advantage for the countries' re-matching in seven months' time in first of their World Cup qualifying matches. Dalglish finished off a dazzling move between Robertson and Gray to score from the edge of the box in the seventh minute revised Scotland side were a force in their final European Portugal at Hampden set Scotland on the to their first victory in five matches -and their best home win since Mr Stein took over the national side.
Gray hit the second after new cap McLeish had seized on a Portuguese error. The Scots had to withstand a spirited during which a debatable offside decision cost the Portuguese a goal in the 30th minute when Jordao shot past Rough. Nene should have scored straight after the break but was robbed by Hansen after skipping round Rough. A minute later Frasco shot over from close in. Following Archibald's goal Gomes was rewarded for his persistence with Portugal's reply in the 75th minute.
Then came Gemmill's penalty and, for Scotland, real hope of a brighter future. Rough (Partick); Burley (Ipswich), McGrain Narey (Dundee Utd), McLeish (Aberdeen) Hansen (Liverpool).

World Cup Eire scramble in with Cyprus own goal Cyprus 2 2 2 2 Republic of Ireland 3 AN own goal by Lysandrou gave Eire what seemed a commanding 3-1 half-time lead against Cyprus in Nicosia last night. But in the end Eire were thankful to win this European Group 2 qualifying World Cup match. Paul McGee as the inprobable architect victory.
Recalled in one of two changes from the team who lost to England last month, he scored. once and was always prominent. Yet it was scarcely a performance to reassure as Eire. 3-1 ahead at the interval, drifted at an alarming rate in the face of the Cypriots' late challenge. converted a penalty in the 75th minute and the Irishmen survived uneasily to secure their first away win in four years.
After eight minutes Brady linked with Stapleton to give McGee an easy chance from eight yards and then set up another for Lawrenson. Pantziaras's finely taken goal after a mistake by O'Leary stripped the Irishmen of some of their composure but Brady linked with O'Leary to give McGee a good chance and Lysandrou helped it in his own net in the 38th minute. However, Eire failed to build on that first half supremacy and have a lot of homework ahead. Newport misses Evans, Tibbitt and Allfrey were lending the Navy raids able support, and with Martin, the only international on the field, keening things together in midfield, Newport missed a fine chance of scoring from May's goalline centre. Just before half-time, Martin saved on the line from Hedlev at a corner, and when the RAF swung into attack afterwards, Ledicott also brought off some good saves.
Clinton, Duerden, Bales and Hedley all figured in the RAF's continuous second-half raids. Clinton once shot wide. Ledicott stopped a point-blank effort from Bales, and another glorious move ended with Hedley sadly off-target. Then at last came the decider. A long corner was transformed into a short one, a foot intervened and Baxter expertly put the chance away.

winter days in wartime Felixstowe. We were going to train in a nice, warm climate, wherever it was 99 explained Conteh. Fortunately, Resorts International made the offer to go to Paradise Island, which suited us perfectly. 66 We wanted to get away from any distractions in London and totally immerse ourselves in training for a longer period than usual. The facilities were very good and we had a bit of sunshine, a bit of sea air and the heat was quite nice when we wanted it.
The transformation from that climate to here is good, too. It's cold and bracing here, just the right sort of conditions for winding up Tough preparation Certainly Conte appears to have benefited from his visit to the Bahamas and from the three months' hard work that went before. This is the longest he has worked since he was training for his first professional fight," said George Francis, his trainer. He is in great shape. Now it is up to him to go out and do the job on Saturday." During the last two years, Conteh often seemed to have lost his appetite for the ring and, indeed, for the gym.
But here, this week, he has greatly impressed all of us, especially with his fierce 15-minute spells of calisthenics. At the moment, he looks a picture of health--rather like the trim, superbly fit, eager young Conteh who moved so purposefully and inevitably towards the top of the division, in the happy, uncomplicated early stages of his career.

CONDITIONS AT HOME AND ABROAD so much physical trouble and led to some many psychological hang-ups, since he broke it in a non-title bout in nearby Scranton in August, 1975. The mental blockage over that hand has been removed at last, at least in sparring 99 said Mr Francis. "But I must be honest- we won't know whether it has gone away altogether until Saturday." Obviously, Conteh is well aware that this third opportunity to regain the title- of which he was stripped -by the WBC in May, 1977, for failing to defend it--is his last chance.
And there has been so much controversy over his being granted this re-match that Jose Sulleiman, the BC president, has decided to supervise arrangements for the fight personally. The last bout ended with Muhammad winning on points and Mr Francis claimingjustly, as scientific evidence later showed- that cuts over the champion's eyes had been sealed with illegal substances." So, later this week, Mr Sulleiman, Ray Clarke, general secretary of the British Board. and Jersey Joe Walcott, former world heavyweight champion and now chairman of the New Jersey State Athletic Commission, will be meeting to choose the referee and judges. It is widely believed there will be one British judge and favourite for the job is Harry Gibbs, the vastly experienced, widely respected London referee. Muhammad made it clear he would be quite happy about that.
Mr Gibbs made me the winner last time," pointed out the champion. Conteh is equally unconcerned about who is in charge inside the ring, or tots up the points outside the ropes.
