I went to the University of Sheffield to see how they were managing clearing this year. More than a hundred University of Sheffield students & staff were answering thousands of calls from A Level students wanting to study there. It was almost all done from home because of social distancing.

Dog Poisoning

A dog has died and another was taken seriously ill after consuming a cocktail of poisons while out on a walk in North Yorkshire. Molly, a springer spaniel, and Poppy, a cocker spaniel, became ill near Pateley Bridge. They were rushed to a local vet but sadly Molly died soon after. It’s thought the dogs came across poison that was laid illegally with the intention of killing birds of prey.

Undefeated Sheffield boxer Dalton Smith won his bout in the first behind-closed-doors event in Matchroom Boxing’s garden at their headquarters.
