Keane: Smith Will Benefit from World Cup Experience Thursday, 3rd Jun 2010 09:02
Boss Roy Keane says defender Tommy Smith will benefit from playing for New Zealand at this summer’s World Cup in South Africa. The 20-year-old looks likely to be a starter for the All Whites on the left-side of a three-man defence.
Keane told the club site: “Tommy has squeezed into the New Zealand squad late on and he should enjoy it.
“It is good for him and it is good for Ipswich that he is there, and hopefully he’ll come back a better player for his experience.

Cafe owners say council changes will see some having to pay hundreds of pounds more for outside seating areas.
From July, Vale of Glamorgan premises must pay £150 to £750 a year depending on how many tables and chairs they have, a change from a flat rate.
The council said it was aimed at limiting the amount of space cafes take up on the pavement and making access easier for disabled people. The timing is bad, said Matt Holland of Wilmore s 1938 in Penarth.
The council said there had always been charges but the new approach made them more flexible and cost effective for small businesses.

Holland, voted the man of the match by a number of commentators, said after the game: In the second half we had a lot of chances, but it was a good performance nonetheless and we are pleased with the result. I scored a couple like that in the qualifying games and it was nice to do it here.
Holland Scores in Draw Saturday, 1st Jun 2002 09:26
Town skipper Matt Holland scored Ireland s goal as his side drew 1-1 with Cameroon in Niigata this morning. Holland hit a first time effort on 52 after Patrick Mboma had put the Indomitable Lions ahead in the 39th minute.
Holland lined-up alongside Mark Kinsella in the centre of the Irish midfield and impressed in Ireland s opening World Cup game.
Cameroon had the best of the first half but the Irish were the better of the two sides in the second, and only a post prevented Robbie Keane scoring late on.
Millwall s Steven Reid hit an impressive late freekick which was saved by keeper Boukar Alioum.
