Brazilian Soccer Schools (BSS) graduate Emile Sinclair continued his progress at Nottingham Forest with a substitute performance in the side's Carling Cup clash with Premier League outfit Sunderland.

Sinclair, who was also part of the Garforth Town under-19 set-up for over a year, was introduced to the game in the second-half of extra-time, with Forest trailing 2-1 after a closely-fought encounter at The City Ground.

The 20-year old follows in the footsteps of Micah Richards, Oliver Hotchkiss, John Bostock, Aidan White and a host of other BSS graduates making a name for themselves in the professional game, with thousands more below them forcing their way through the academy ranks.

White made his first-team debut for Leeds United in their own Carling Cup encounter with Crystal Palace on Tuesday night, impressing in the left-back position and prompting calls from The Whites' fans for the 16-year old to play there regularly.

The biggest test for Garforth this season was come in the shape of Newcastle Blue Star. With new signings bringing in a different style of play from the Geordies it meant Garforth had to be on form to have an impact. 

Most of the first half saw both defences coming out stronger then the attack, with Blue Star passing the ball but not penetrating. Good defending from the returned Ben Small made sure star man Paul Brayson had little effect.  

A highly anticipated match awaited the town known as Garforth on another glorious summer day. With fireworks between the two in their meetings last season this was one not to be missed. 

The game started off with both sides showing good spells of football but neither really using the possession to great effect until the 17th minute. The pace of Dominique Blair proved too much for the Curzon defence on a number of occasions the nippy striker left them coughing in his dust. On this instance a ball played over the top saw the defence and goalkeeper split with a lovely lob finish from young Blair, a good finish to make it 1-0.   

Garforth Town are delighted to announce that captain Brett Renshaw has signed a new contract with the club.

With hopes of eventually playing in the Premier League, owner and manager Simon Clifford is keen to secure the foundations of what will be a difficult and lengthy journey up the football pyramid over the coming years.

Now, with the majority of the squad on contracts and their club captain extending his stay with the side, the base of such a promotion charge are in place.

On lengthening his career at the Genix Healthcare Stadium, having already spent six years with The Miners, Renshaw said: "I'm delighted to have signed a new contract with the club.
