Equestrianism
British show jumper Ben Maher’s
attempt to become Britain’s first
individual European show jumping
gold medallist since John Whitaker
30 years ago ended in heartache at
the penultimate fence at the FEI
European Championships. Four
immaculate clear rounds aboard
10-year-old gelding Explosion W
gave him pole position entering the
final phase in Rotterdam. The last
to go, 36-year-old Maher looked on
course for victory, but he knocked
down the penultimate fence to
move to 4.62 penalties and finish
with silver. Switzerland’s Martin
Fuchs secured gold on Clooney by
just 0.016 penalties.Motorcycling
Spain’s Alex Rins snatched victory
in the British Grand Prix at the final

tussle between the pair.Golf
Scotland’s Carly Booth held her
nerve to claim the Tipsport Czech
Ladies Open at Karlstejn. Booth
went into the final round sharing
the lead with Finland’s Sanna

title by a shot on nine under.Hockey
England’s women missed out on a

Martin, but Maria Tost equalised in
the second half to send the contest
to a shoot-out. Sarah Evans rolled

bounce back
after giving
Kovalev scare
By Gareth A Davies
BOXING CORRESPONDENTAnthony Yarde pledged yesterday
to come back stronger after the first
defeat of his career on Saturday
night. The east Londoner’s inexpe-
rience told as he was stopped in the
11th round by champion Sergey Ko-
valev in their World Boxing Organi-
sation light-heavyweight title fight
in Chelyabinsk, Russia.
Yarde, 28, who had never gone
beyond seven rounds in his 18-fight
career, succumbed to exhaustion,
having come within seconds of
halting the world’s No 1-ranked
light heavyweight as he attacked
the body of the Russian in the sev-
enth and asserted a major assault in
the eighth.
“I will be back. I took a big risk
for a big reward, because I don’t
fear opponents. It didn’t go to plan,
but my mentality stays the same,”
said Yarde, having shown a great
chin, guts, heart, fearlessness – and
inexperience – in equal measure.
“You’re a great fighter. You have
a great future,” Kovalev told Yarde
in the ring, adding: “A hundred per
cent he will be a champion.”
Tunde Ajayi, Yarde’s trainer,
came under fire from fans after the
contest for his lack of technical ad-
vice between rounds, but said:
“Last night the whole world saw
what Anthony, myself and our
whole team were made of. We came
from nothing and made it happen.”
Kovalev is being lined up to fight
Saul “Canelo” Alvarez – the Mexi-
can moving up a third weight divi-
sion – probably in November.
The path for Yarde remains less
clear, though a fight with Britain’s
Callum Johnson is one option.BOXING
Price says Super League
crown is the next target
Pressure on favourites
Saints to rebuild season
By Ross Heppenstall at Wembley
Warrington coach Steve Price, who
began the day claiming his side
were the biggest underdogs in
Challenge Cup final history, ended
it by talking up their chances of
doing the double, and why not?
Price’s men did enough to justify
all the superlatives after they beat
St Helens 18-4 on Saturday, but the
question now will be whether they
can be crowned champions of Eng-
land for the first time since 1955.
Armed with the ambition and
spending power of wealthy owners
Simon Moran and Stuart Middle-
ton, the Wolves lifted their fourth
Challenge Cup in 11 years.
Yet that alone will not be enough
to satisfy the hungry Wolves and
their fan base. Australian Price,
who tasted defeat at Wembley and
Old Trafford in his debut season last
year, said: “We’ve got a special
group of men and we’re going for
the big one [Super League title] at
the end of the season as well.
“There are special times ahead
and we have got a lot of belief and
confidence going forward now. All
the pressure was on St Helens. They
have been the most consistent team
for the last 18 months, and it took a
special performance to beat them.”
Nobody epitomised the Wolves’
desire more than hooker Daryl
Clark, who won the Lance Todd
Trophy as man of the match.
The England international lost at
Wembley with Castleford in 2014
before suffering defeat with War-
rington in 2016 and 2018.
“I have been here three times be-
fore and not picked up the trophy,
which is heartbreaking,” Clark said.
“To finally get my hands on it is spe-
cial and to win the Lance Todd Tro-
phy as well just tops it off.”
Warrington were missing key
playmaker Blake Austin through in-jury and runaway Super League
leaders Saints were at full strength.
Yet Price’s game plan worked to
perfection and tries from Joe Phil-
bin and Ben Murdoch-Masila put
them 12-0 up at the break.
Saints rallied through Theo
Fages but Clark countered with a
third Warrington try. He said: “We
went under the radar all week. We
stuck to our game plan. We knew
we could shock everyone.”
The result raises questions about
Saints’ ability to produce when it
matters as the play-offs loom.
Saints coach Justin Holbrook ad-
mitted that Warrington were wor-thy victors, but they enjoyed more
than a touch of good fortune.
Referee Robert Hicks missed
Morgan Knowles grounding the
ball in the third minute and did not
even refer the incident to the video
referee. Saints captain James Roby
said: “He should have checked that,
but he didn’t. We’re heartbroken
and massively disappointed.”
