Coastal stage of national tour to finish on the promenade

Next summer's national cycling tour will finish a stage on the Harbour City promenade for the first time in twenty years, organisers confirmed.

The 180-kilometre stage will follow the coast road from the north before a fast, flat finish along the seafront.

Young players from the city academy are being given more chances this season, and several have already made their debut.

Medical staff will assess two players who picked up knocks, but neither injury is thought to be serious.
