Havant’s Cinderella run ends.

Havant and Waterlooville’s dream run came to an end as they went down to Liverpool 5-2 at Anfield last January 26, 2008 . The Hawks earned the right to play Liverpool in the fourth round by defeating Swansea City last January 16, 4-2.

In last Saturday’s match the non-leaguers made Liverpool work for its victory, even leading twice before being overwhelmed by their mighty rivals. Non-league refers to football played in England played at a level below the premier league and the football league. What’s amazing is that the Hawks are composed of part-timers. The team members hold different jobs ranging from salesman, teacher, personal trainer and garbage collector. Their star scorer is training to be a cabbie in London.

Such stories are the stuff of dreams. Take a bow Havant!

Lewis Hamilton Cleared

Lewis Hamilton has been cleared by the FIA of causing a crash between Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel during this year’s Japanese Grand Prix.

According to BBC, Vettel of Toro Rosso rammed Mark Webber of Red Bull after Hamilton allegedly braked excessively behind the safety car.

Anyway, I’ve been trying to view footage of the incident. Amateur videos have been shot and uploaded on Youtube. Here’s one:

I think Hamilton, must have been trying to prevent his brakes from seizing.

What do you think?
