Jabra Vox

The Jabra Vox is a well-designed subwoofer disguised as a pair of earphones. That's hyperbole, but only by a little; these lightweight, secure-fitting earphones are some of the bass-heaviest we've ever tested. It's not that other pairs can't match the low frequency output of the Vox, it's that the Vox doesn't match the low frequencies with equal boosting of high-mids. Thus, certain genres can sound quite muddy or boomy, while others, like much electronic and pop music, sound like the low frequency assault bass fiends crave. If you're seeking a well-balanced pair, or, ironically, a pair that puts the emphasis on vocals, the $99.99 (list) Vox isn't it. However, for certain music types, it will appeal to bass lovers.?

Design
The Vox is well-built and well-designed, with a thick cable that is tangle-resistant and earpieces that fit very securely and comfortably. Each earpiece is small and lightweight, covered in rounded black matte plastic with a red stripe near the wire and the Jabra logo on a separate metallic stripe that runs up the earphone. Along the right ear's cable, there's an inline remote control and microphone for Android and Apple iOS devices. One nice design touch is two low-intensity magnets built into the left and right ear cables?this allows you to snap the two earpieces' cables together for easy storage.

Using the remote with my iPhone 4S was simple, and call clarity was about what you should expect from a $100 earphone pair?nothing extraordinary, but your call partner will understand you, and you them. The Vox ships with three pairs of silicon ear tips (small, medium, and large) and a small snap-shut carrying pouch.?

A free Android and iOS app, Jabra Sound, is available for download and designed specifically for the Vox and two other new Jabra headphone pairs.?Unfortunately, like nearly every free audio app for headphones or earphones, it's more or less useless. Your phone probably already organizes your music for you, so the only reason to use the Sound app is to access the Dolby Digital processing included with it, and you shouldn't do that. Dolby processing may be nice for movies and home theaters, but it is no way necessary to run your already-mastered music through more signal processing. The sound quality has nothing to gain, and everything to lose. Processing often sounds flat-out bad, seemingly adding significant low frequency rumble artifacts to quieter tracks, especially classical music.?

Performance
The Vox was tested without the Sound app, which is optional and didn't do much for the earphones' audio perfromance. On tracks with deep bass, like the Knife's "Silent Shout," the Jabra Vox can get quite loud. At these unsafe listening levels, it never distorts, though I got a sense that just a smidge more volume would send it over the edge. It's not really a big deal, however?you can't (or shouldn't) listen at these unsafe levels. At very high, but less dangerous, volumes, the bass is powerful, boosted, and distortion-free.

The bass boosting is going to be a deal-breaker for anyone looking for a fairly accurate listen?it sounds just fine on electronic tracks with throbbing bass, but apply the Vox's sound signature to Bill Callahan's vocals on "Drover," and there's trouble straight off. His vocals already have a nice amount of natural low-mid, baritone presence, so adding the extra lows pushes his voice into Barry White territory, which sounds kind of ridiculous coming from anyone not named Barry White. There's very little sculpting or boosting in the high-mids to help balance things out, and Callahan's voice gets lost in a muddy mid-range section. The constant drumming pattern in the background gets so much bass boost that it moves to the forefront and contends with his voice for your attention. Even if you are a bass fiend, you still need some high-mids boosting to help the rest of the mix maintain its definition.

On Jay-Z and Kanye West's "No Church in the Wild," again we have very little presence in the high-mids. Since none of the vocalists are occupying the lower range Bill Callahan's voice does, it's less of an issue for vocal clarity, but the bass boosting kills the balance of the mix. This is booming, throbbing low end with very little high-mid or high frequency presence to match it. I heard some boosting in a very specific area of other high mids that can make Kanye West's voice sound a bit overly sibilant, but mostly the high-mids and highs take a backseat to the thunder. The sheer level of power the Vox gives to the sub-bass frequencies is impressive?I've never heard this song sound as bass heavy as it does on these earphones.?

Classical tracks, like John Adams' "The Chairman Dances," sound like film scores with lots of EQ and sculpting. The lower register strings receive a heavy dose of low-end, but the bowing of all the strings retains its crispness, primarily because these are the frequencies that stand out the most already on a less bass-boosted system?they need less help in the high-mid range than other tracks since they have less natural deep bass to compete with. The large drum hits at the end of this track sound like King Kong dribbling the world's largest basketball.

Overall, electronic music and classical music seem to fare the best with this sound signature?the former tends to handle added bass response quite well and while the latter doesn't sound like the mix engineer intended it to, it has less serious deep bass content for the boosting to mess with. You may still hear some huge drum sounds in a classical track on the Vox, but the overall balance will not be disrupted like it is on the Bill Callahan track.

Bass fiends, you know who you are. It's quite possible you'll love the sound of the Vox, though I feel it's missing the high-mid sculpting you may not realize you also crave?it's what gives kick drums their punchy attack and vocals the ability to stay out in front, even when there's a fat, deep bass synth part to compete with.

If you like a healthy amount of bass, but want to match it with a bit more crispness, the Bowers & Wilkins C5 In-Ear Headphones are a good bet at a much higher price. In this price range, the Jays t-Jays Three offers solid bass, but better overall balance with the highs, as well. If the big bass turns you off, and you're looking for a crisper sound signature, the Shure SE215?is a solid bet?and even features a detachable cable, a rarity for earphones in this price range. Finally, if you're just looking for a far less expensive option that doesn't completely give up on bass, the Jays a-Jays One+ is a decent affordable pair.

For $100, the Jabra Vox is a well-constructed, secure-fitting, powerful pair of earphones, but its sound signature veers pretty far from reality. This pair is worth your consideration if you're a serious bass lover, but there are other options with more balance that should suit you well, too.

Olympics editor and cycling writer to leave Telegraph ? Sports ...

Jacquelin Magnay, the paper?s Olympics editor and one of the most senior women sports journalists working in Britain, and Brendan Gallagher, the cycling correspondent, are among the latest sports desk casualties of the ?restructuring? exercise being undertaken at the Telegraph.

Jacquelin Magnay: she had inside track on 2012 London Olympic stories for the Telegraph

These follow the departure, as we reported last week, of the long-standing sports editor of the Sunday Telegraph, Peter Mitchell.

The highly regarded Magnay had been recruited to the Telegraph after London was awarded the 2012 Games, following a long and highly decorated career as a senior sports correspondent at the Sydney Morning Herald, where she had performed a similar role for the 2000 Olympics.

Only last week, Magnay was at the SJA?s British Sports Journalism Awards, where one of her stories was short-listed for the Sports Scoop of the Year prize.

Also understood to be leaving from the sports desks are Brian Stater, who has been a fixture on the subs desk for nearly 30 years, Matt Leach and Rod Gilmour.

Separate from the ?restructuring?, the paper has also lost its award-winning sports news correspondent, Paul Kelso, who has joined Sky News, while Paul Ackford, the Sunday Telegraph?s respected rugby columnist, has recently retired.

More than 80 journalists are expected to leave the newspapers in this latest merging of daily, Sunday and website operations, the biggest cull of its type at the titles since 2008. Some staff are opting to take voluntary redundancy. ?These culls always seem to follow the Olympics,? one demoralised staffer at Victoria told sportsjournalists.co.uk.

The Telegraph group?s management is supposed to be recruiting 50 digital staff, ?but the expectation is that they will be first-jobbers, straight from college, with no experience of contacts, all on 20 grand a year,? said the source.

Brendan Gallagher: covered cycling and rugby

Earlier reports that the sports department might escape the worst of the latest job cuts appear badly misplaced, even though the sports pages, in the newspaper and online, are regarded as the economic engine room of the Telegraph?s commercial operations.

Magnay was not available for comment, but is understood to have plans for a venture of her own, and to remain based in London.

The departure of Gallagher, who has been on the staff for almost 20 years, appears odd given the bright new digital future planned for the news organisation, since he offered a prolific output on Bradley Wiggins, Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendleton and Britain?s most successful Olympic sport, as well as his coverage of rugby union, on which he regularly contributed unique pnline articles, webchats and live updates for the Telegraph website.

He, too, was unavailable to comment, as was Ben Clissitt, the Telegraph?s head of sport.

5,000 NYC pay phones will take you back to 1993

NEW YORK (AP) ? Want to journey to a grittier time in New York City's not-too-distant past, when the murder rate was sky-high, Times Square was a crossroads of crime and porn, Starbucks had yet to arrive, and hardly anyone owned a cellphone?

A project designed to promote an art exhibit has turned 5,000 Manhattan pay phones into time machines that take callers back to 1993, a pivotal year in the city's art, culture and politics.

Pick up a receiver on the rarely used phones that still dot the New York streetscape, punch 1-855-FOR-1993 and you will hear a notable resident recounting what life was like on that block 20 years ago.

"We liked, creatively, the idea of using a sort of slightly broken, disused system as the canvas of this project," said Scott Chinn of Droga5, the ad agency behind the campaign for an exhibit titled "NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star."

An eclectic mix of artists, writers, food and fashion stars, and others has been recruited to reminisce, including chef Mario Batali, actor Chazz Palminteri, porn performer Robin Byrd and former Yankees pitcher Jim Abbott, who threw a no-hitter in 1993.

The narrators describe a New York that was dirtier, bloodier, raunchier and less gentrified than today ? but also an easier place for a talented young person to gain a foothold.

Batali says in his sound bite that opening a restaurant was easier in 1993 when he debuted his first restaurant, Po.

"You didn't have to have a rich daddy or an investor or put together a team or anything like that," he says. "It's sad to watch the cost of business push the real individualist entrepreneurs out of the game."

Bike shop owner Dave Ortiz remembers when the city's Meatpacking District, now home to trendy restaurants, nightclubs and pricey boutiques, was the wild, wild West.

"The rats were huge," he says. "They were as big as cats, so you had to walk in the middle of the street. It's amazing what they turned it into. It's cool but it's lost its, like, authenticity."

Rudy Giuliani was elected New York City mayor in 1993 and promised to crack down on crime and make the city more livable. The number of homicides in the city ? 1,960 in 1993 ? had already dropped from a high of 2,245 in 1990 but has plunged steeply since then. (There were 414 in all of last year.)

The city's AIDS crisis peaked in 1993 at 12,744 diagnoses. Terrorists staged the first attack on the World Trade Center. The look of the city has changed dramatically as national retailers have replaced independent merchants. New York City's first Starbucks opened in 1994.

"There was a presence of a kind of downtown underground scene which you really don't experience in New York anymore," recalled Gary Carrion-Murayari, curator of the exhibit at the New Museum featuring 161 works, many intended to shock with sexual imagery.

Lutz Bacher's "My Penis," for example, repeats a video snippet from the 1991 Florida rape trial of William Kennedy Smith, a nephew of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, in which Smith testifies about the organ in question.

In Pep?n Osorio's "The Scene of the Crime (Whose Crime?)," a blood-soaked sheet covers what appears to be a corpse. Four nude mannequins join hands and stare into space in Charles Ray's "Family Romance." Political issues are tackled head-on in works like Sue Williams' "Are you Pro-Porn or Anti-Porn?"

The exhibit and accompanying pay phone campaign run through May 26.

Pay phones in the Times Square area feature X-rated talk-show host Byrd describing the neighborhood before Disney musicals and theme-park stores made it safe for tourists.

"The area wasn't really as dangerous as people thought it was in those days," Byrd says. "Because most of the bums that you thought were bums on the street were really undercover cops."

She adds: "It was a great time. It's too bad it's changed because now it's very pasteurized, homogenized, and it looks like Vegas."

Italy confirms claim 7 hostages slain in Nigeria

ROME (AP) ? The Italian Foreign Ministry says it has confirmed Nigerian extremists' claim that seven foreign hostages have been killed in Nigeria.

The foreigners, kidnapped last month, include an Italian, as well as Greek, British and Lebanese citizens. Greece confirmed that it believed on of its citizens was among the dead.

In a statement Sunday, the ministry condemned what it called an "atrocious act of terrorism." Islamic radicals had claimed on Saturday they had killed the seven hostages.

Woods stretches his lead on Blue Monster

DORAL, Fla. (AP) ? With one last birdie putt that never looked like it was going anywhere but in the hole, Tiger Woods walked off the Blue Monster in a familiar position.

He had a four-shot lead over Graeme McDowell in the Cadillac Championship, the 17th time on the PGA Tour that he has led by at least four shots going into the final round. Woods has never lost when leading by that much on tour.

Saturday at Doral was a reminder, however, how quickly it all can change.

Woods knocked in a short birdie putt on the 15th hole to put six shots between him and McDowell.

Two holes later, after McDowell chipped in for eagle and Woods found himself staring some 20 feet in the air at his golf ball lodged in a palm tree to the right of the 17th fairway, the lead was cut in half.

Woods saved his best for the final hole.

He drilled a tee shot into the fairway, hit 9-iron to 15 feet and made his 24th birdie of the tournament for a 5-under 67, putting him on the cusp of another World Golf Championship and a big step toward returning to No. 1 in the world.

"After I made birdie on 15, I was looking pretty good with a six-shot lead, and with a drivable par 4," Woods said. "Two holes later, it's now cut down to three. I piped a tee shot down there, hit a little 9-iron there and was able to pour that putt in there."

The ball never came down from the tree, which was about the only thing that didn't fall his way.

The 24 birdies and 74 putts are personal records for Woods. More importantly, it put him in great position to win his 17th WGC title, and his first since 2009.

"He controlled every part of his game very well, very few loose shots," said McDowell, who did well to two-putt for par from 85 feet on the last hole for a 69 that at least kept him in final group for Sunday.

"You know, 17 was a really bad break for him. But in true Tiger fashion that we've become very accustomed to over the years, to come back and birdie the last, he was fantastic today," he said.

"So maximum respect there. He's going to be a tough man to catch tomorrow. I get to watch it and get to see him, and hopefully get a chance to get close to him tomorrow."

Woods has a 39-2 record when he has the outright lead going into the final round on the PGA Tour. The only time he has ever lost a lead of more than two shots in any tournament around the world was in 2010 against an 18-man field at the Chevron World Challenge, when McDowell beat him in a playoff.

McDowell certainly was up for the fight on a breezy, sunny afternoon near Miami. Despite a shaky stretch of holes that appeared to end his chances, he drove just over the green on the par-4 16th and chipped in for eagle, and hit that putt across the 18th green that amazed even Woods.

"He hit a hell of a putt," Woods said.

Woods was at 18-under 198.

Phil Mickelson, who badly wanted to get into the final group, overcame a three-putt from 4 feet for double bogey on the third hole by making four birdies the rest of the way. He had a 69, along with Steve Stricker, and both were five shots behind.

"I threw away five or six shots on the greens and around the greens, and I feel like I don't have to play too much different," Mickelson said. "I just can't afford to give away those shots. I'm going to have to play a round like I played at Pebble last year, something in the low 60s."

A year ago, Mickelson shot 64 in the final round to win at Pebble Beach while playing in the same group with Woods.

Rory McIlroy, the world's No. 1 player, had a rough start until rallying on the back nine with five birdies in a six-hole stretch that carried him to a 71. He was 15 shots behind.

Woods used to own these WGC events, winning 16 of the first 30 that he played. He has gone 0-for-10 since Firestone in August 2009, though the odds were stacked in his favor at the Cadillac Championship. He already is a three-time winner at Doral, and he has been putting well ever since Stricker gave him a tip on the eve of the tournament.

"You know what kind of closer he is," Stricker said. "When he gets the lead in a golf tournament, it's tough. He doesn't let too many guys in usually when he gets the lead. We've all got our work cut out for us. We're going to have to go out and try to make birdies on a difficult golf course, which is hard to do."

It's even tougher with Woods playing like this. He has matched the low round of the tournament all three days.

For nine holes, McDowell threw his best golf at Woods, and Woods counterpunched in a magnificent display on the breezy Blue Monster.

McDowell opened with a 20-foot eagle, Woods with back-to-back birdies. McDowell hit his approach to 10 feet on the third hole, and Woods followed with a shot 6 inches inside as both made birdie.

McDowell finally tied him for the lead with a 20-foot putt on the sixth hole, and he had a 10-foot birdie attempt on the seventh for the outright lead. The stroke was tentative, and the ball dipped on the low side.

And that was as close as McDowell could get.

Woods had a one-shot lead as they walked toward the green on the par-5 10th hole, with McDowell on the green in two and poised to catch him again.

It all turned so suddenly.

Woods hit another superb wedge to 6 feet for birdie, while McDowell's eagle attempt slid 4 feet by the cup, and he missed it coming back for par. McDowell was furious, slapping his leg in disgust. McDowell and Woods each had 6 feet for par on the 11th ? Woods made, McDowell missed, his first bogey of the week.

That gave Woods a three-shot lead, and McDowell fell even further behind when he muffed a pitch behind the 14th green and took double bogey, and Woods hit a towering tee shot on the par-3 15th to 6 feet for birdie.

"The three-putt on 10 kind of rattled me a little bit, because Tiger didn't look like he was going to do anything wrong," McDowell said. "I really felt like I needed to be making putts like that."

McDowell at least stayed in the game, but after his putt across the length of the 18th green stopped inside a foot from the hole, he could only watch as Woods poured in another putt for yet another birdie, making the task on Sunday even more difficult.

The leaderboard still had the best golfers. Woods, however, separated himself from them.

Honda Classic winner Michael Thompson and Sergio Garcia each had a 67 and were at 11-under 205, along with Charl Schwartzel (69) and Keegan Bradley (69). Masters champion Bubba Watson could only manage a 71 and was eight shots behind.

Woods will be going for his second win of the year, an ominous sign with the Masters a month away. Woods has not won twice before the Masters in five years.

"All respect to the way he handled himself today and the way he played," McDowell said. "He's going to be a tough guy to catch. But according to the forecast tomorrow, we are going to have strong winds. I think that's an advantage to the rest of the field. ... With tough conditions tomorrow, hopefully we'll have a chance."

Quantum algorithm breakthrough: Performs a true calculation for the first time

Feb. 24, 2013 ? An international research group led by scientists from the University of Bristol, UK, and the University of Queensland, Australia, has demonstrated a quantum algorithm that performs a true calculation for the first time. Quantum algorithms could one day enable the design of new materials, pharmaceuticals or clean energy devices.

The team implemented the 'phase estimation algorithm' -- a central quantum algorithm which achieves an exponential speedup over all classical algorithms. It lies at the heart of quantum computing and is a key sub-routine of many other important quantum algorithms, such as Shor's factoring algorithm and quantum simulations.

Dr Xiao-Qi Zhou, who led the project, said: "Before our experiment, there had been several demonstrations of quantum algorithms, however, none of them implemented the quantum algorithm without knowing the answer in advance. This is because in the previous demonstrations the quantum circuits were simplified to make it more experimentally feasible. However, this simplification of circuits required knowledge of the answer in advance. Unlike previous demonstrations, we built a full quantum circuit to implement the phase estimation algorithm without any simplification. We don't need to know the answer in advance and it is the first time the answer is truly calculated by a quantum circuit with a quantum algorithm."

Professor Jeremy O'Brien, director of the Centre for Quantum Photonics at the University of Bristol said: "Implementing a full quantum algorithm without knowing the answer in advance is an important step towards practical quantum computing. It paves the way for important applications, including quantum simulations and quantum metrology in the near term, and factoring in the long term."

The research is published in Nature Photonics.

Jordan's the goal hero for Woodcote Stoke Row in Reading Football League

Reading Football League round-up

Senior Division

Dean Jordan came off the bench to secure a 3-2 win for Woodcote Stoke Row against a South Reading side which finished with nine men.

Andy Bullett and James Hancock were also on target for the visitors before Jordan, a 72nd-minute substitute, grabbing the winner five minutes from time.

Ryan Adams and Brett Rann replied for South Reading.

But Adams was later sent off following two yellow cards, while Ryan Kingsbeer also saw red.

South Reading?s next game is against Marlow United in a showdown between the current leaders and last season?s champions.

Marlow warmed up with a 4-1 win over bottom club Rotherfield United.

Rotherfield took a shock lead with a penalty from Ricky Sidhu after striker Ben Keable had been impeded when going for a cross.

On their own admission, Marlow were below par even though the scoreline suggests otherwise and they struggled to gain a foothold in the game.

They even needed assistance to score their equaliser when Rotherfield defender Guy Bickerton rose to head clear a cross in the 34th minute from James Flint?s cross, but inadvertently sent it inside a post for an own goal.

Mitchel Woodward put United in front soon after the break but it was not until the 84th minute that they really surged ahead. Adam Dickens gained possession and ran 40 yards before slotting the ball past the keeper to notch his 30th goal of the season, making him the highest scorer in the division.

Jonathan Mason took until the third minute of injury-time to register Marlow?s fourth goal to give a flattering look to the scoreline.

Reading YMCA had Jonathan Adey to thank for scoring twice as they beat Theale convincingly 4-1.

Andrew Tipper and substitute Kieron Mabbutt were also on the scoresheet, while Theale sub Keyron Hylton replied on the hour mark.

Mortimer, in fourth place, were involved in a tensely fought encounter with Taplow United and finally grabbed the game?s only goal through Michael Davies, just five minutes from time.

Unity were beaten 4-1 by Sandhurst Devels with goals from Thomas Copper, David Evans, Mark Farrell and Tom Wilde.

REME Arborfield are third in the Premier Division after a home walkover win against Ashridge Park who could not raise a team.

Divisions 1 and 2

Chris Waring?hit six goals as Winnersh Rangers inflicted a remarkable 10-2 defeat on Division 1 leaders Sonning.

Sonning started confidently enough with Nick Newell heading them in front after only five minutes and he added another 10 minutes later when he drove in from 18 yards.

But with several players missing through work commitments and injuries, they were soon stopped in their tracks by a goal avalanche from Rangers.

Waring was their chief destroyer, hitting a double hat-trick and Tom Slade added another two goals.

Ethan Jerrome and Andrew Haskins, just after the break, increased Sonning?s misery by getting on the scoresheet.

Woodley Town A, in third place, similarly hammered Wargrave 5-0.

Danny Isaiew and Andrew Dawe scored in the first half with Jake Brooks, substitute David Logan and Jordan Sawyer completing the rout.

Division 2 leaders Woodley Hammers came off best in a 10-goal thriller away to Wokingham & Emmbrook A.

Hammers? goals in a 6-4 win came from Kevin Brown (2), George Hepburn and Jamie Smith.

Royal Albion travelled to Twyford & Ruscombe and after a close-fought game edged home by the solitary goal.

Also in Division 2, Frilsham & Yattendon Res beat Taplow United Res 3-2.

Divisions 3 and 4

Matthew Williamson marked his return from injury with a hat-trick for Eldon Celtic in their 5-0 Division 3 win over lowly Sonning Sports.

He had been out for a month through injury.

James Edwards also scored while Joseph Carroll celebrated his debut with a fine strike.

Table toppers Emmbrook narrowly beat bottom club The Hop Leaf 2-1 after struggling to hit their best form.

In the reverse fixture, Emmbrook had won 13-1 but this time they allowed Hop Leaf to take an early lead before Keiran Painter and Rob Sherwood, three minutes from time, snatched victory.

AFC Corinthians Res also had a convincing 4-1 win, this time away to Sonning A for whom John Naylor hit a consolation.

David Givens scored Corinthians? with an audacious 40-yard lob.

Darren Russell added their second with a tidy finish.

A Sonning defender diverted a cross into his own goal for their third and a Robin Shaw header rounded things off.

Leaders Royal Oranje beat FC Winnersh 5-1 in Divison 4.

A Matt Bacon hat-trick and further goals from William Day and Alistair Drury made up their total.

Sam Randle netted a penalty for Winnersh.

White Eagles?blasted 14 goals without reply past The Hop Leaf Res with Mateusz Krochmal, Jarek Michalowski, Adrian Zarnowski and Krzysztof Cymek all scoring twice while Pawel Swiderski hit a hat-trick. Other goals came from Krystian Januszkiewisc, Bartos Mietlicki and Mariusz Salanski.

SRCC crushed AFC Corinthians 8-3 with goals coming from Adam Williams (4), Oliver Windiate, Darren Windiate and a Sam Jordan penalty.

Substitute Martin Clifford hit two for Shinfield Village who beat Woodley Hammers res 4-3.

Stuart Clarke and Dwayne Goswell got their other goals.

Cup round-up

Josh Blackwood grabbed a hat-trick for Highmoor Ibis Res who comfortably dispatched Mortimer Res from the Reading Junior Cup, winning 5-0.

Christopher Gerrard netted their first goal after 17 minutes and Sanchez Cammock made it 2-0 just five minutes later.

Goalkeeper Elton Cristophe performed well in keeping a clean sheet.

And Blackwood?s treble sealed the convincing win.

Woodley Town Res travelled to Pinewood in the same competition and things looked gloomy for them when they went 2-0 down as Darryn Alexander netted a goal in either half for the home side.

But Duncan Cantwell began the fightback and Connor Cregan equalised to take the game into extra-time.

Pinewood went on the attack and were pressing for a winner in the second period of extra-time when a breakaway saw Cantwell race clear.

His cross was driven into the net by Tim Green with virtually the last kick of the match to grab a 3-2 victory for Town.
