England Football Team To Stay At Vale Do Lobo

I have just read on the BBC website that the England football team will be preparing for this summers world cup at Vale Do Lobo on the Algarve.

The squad will be at the resort between the 15th - 20th May.

For those of you that haven't been there Vale Do Lobo is a great resort with fantastic beaches, a wonderful selection of restaurants and two of the best golf courses on the Algarve.

English Man Retains Algarve Open Title

Paul Broadhurst of England retained the Algarve Open in Portimao, Portugal, on Sunday after hitting a final-hole birdie in his 5-under 67 to beat compatriot Anthony Wall by a shot.

Wall, who also shot a final-round 67, drew level after Broadhurst bogeyed the 17th hole. But the defending champion had a birdie to finish with a total score of 17-under 271.

Wall hit an eagle, five birdies and two bogeys in his round.

Argentina's Andres Romero was a shot back in third place, while countryman and three-time European Tour winner Ricardo González finished a further stroke behind in fourth.(AP)
