Welsh National winner Monbeg Dude will spend his retirement with Zara and Mike Tindall at Gatcombe Park with his seven-year racing career over.The 11-year-old claimed the Welsh feature for trainer Michael Scudamore in 2013 to add to his two Grade Three wins at Cheltenham.He also finished third in the 2015 Grand National at Aintree.Monbeg Dude raced for the Oydunow syndicate, which included Tindall and fellow former rugby union star James Simpson-Daniel.The Tindalls will now give Monbeg Dude permanent home at the Gloucestershire estate, which is the country residence of the Zara Tindalls mother, the Princess Royal.He will be going to Gatcombe with Zara and Mike and I think the plan is turn him out with Toytown, the horse Zara won the world title on. Hopefully they will be great mates, Scudamore said.Its great to see him going to a happy retirement but he will certainly leave a big hole in the yard. San Diego Padres Store . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. Padres Jerseys China . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second. https://www.cheappadresjerseys.us/ . It was the second consecutive win for the Pacers (2-5), who lost their first five preseason games. Jeff Teague led the Hawks (1-5) with 17 points and eight assists and Al Horford had 12 points and seven rebounds. Mike Scott scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half. San Diego Padres Pro Shop . -- Quarterback Will Finch threw for 252 yards and three touchdowns, and Yannick Harou rushed in two scores as the No. Stitched Padres Jerseys . The Browns coaching search remains incomplete. (STATS) -- Senior Day at Villanova will take on a whole new meaning this year.When the Wildcats honor their graduating class prior to Saturdays showdown with fellow CAA Football powerhouse James Madison, theyll also pay tribute to the only coach the program has known since being reinstated in 1985.Theres still a real chance this wont be the last time Andy Talley walks off the Villanova Stadium turf, however, and the No. 9 Wildcats (7-2, 5-1) would make a playoff home game a virtual certainty if theyre able to knock off the high-powered Dukes and win next weeks rivalry game at Delaware in the regular-season finale. A sweep would give the retiring 73-year-old one more cherished parting gift -- at least a share of the conference title.Im pretty excited about the game, said Talley, wholl hand over the reins to longtime assistant Mark Ferrante at seasons end. Thank God its at Villanova.JMU (8-1, 6-0) has plenty to play for as well, perhaps more.Sixth in the STATS FCS Top 25 and fourth in the FCS selection committees latest rankings, the Dukes appear to have the inside track on securing home-field advantage through the quarterfinals of the playoffs, which theyll receive the CAAs automatic bid to if they win Saturday.The Dukes will have earned it, having already beaten three teams (Richmond, New Hampshire, Maine) residing in the conferences upper half -- all on the road.Weve attempted to build this team from back in January to be a physical, hard-nosed football team, because those are the kinds of teams that win on the road, those are the kind of teams that win late in the season, coach Mike Houston said. I think our identity has changed, its changed pretty drastically from last year. I think thats certainly helped in those road venues.That toughness was fully evident a week ago, when JMU twice overcame a second-half deficit to outlast Richmond in a 47-43 thriller and end the then-No. 6 Spiders 11-game home winning streak.Despite the daunting assignment of facing two straight top 10 opponents on the road in as many weeks, Houston isnt overly concerned about the possibility his team could be mentally drained off such a grueling game.Certainly there was a lot of emotion in that game. That being said, its on to the next opponent, he said. Thats kind of been our motto each week and all throughout the year, and I think the players have done a really good job of that. Theyll understand the whole deal. I expect that theyll be completely dialed into a very, very good Villanova team.Houstons more pressing worry is solving a Wildcats defense thats among thee stingiest at the FCS level.ddddddddddddThe unit, anchored by NFL prospect Tanoh Kpassagnon (34 tackles, 16 TFL, 7.5 sacks), ranks third in the subdivision in both total yards (268.0) and points (14.9) allowed per game. Villanova has yielded only one passing touchdown and four offensive scores over the last five games and came up with four interceptions in last weeks 26-7 win at Maine.They have maybe the best player in the league with (Kpassagnon), hes a great player, Houston said. Theyre what you expect when you think of Villanova football. I think that weve got our work cut for us to move the football.Talley shares the same fears about a JMU offense thats been close to unstoppable all season long. Second only to No. 1 Sam Houston State in points per game (49.1), the Dukes have gained at least 430 yards in every contest and put up 31 points or more against each of its FCS opponents.Weve got to be able to take some time off the clock and keep the ball out of their hands, Talley said. Richmond got in a shooting match with them, and Richmond has the kind of skill set to do that. I dont think we have the kind of skill there. I think were going to have to keep the game in the teens or low 20s to have a chance.Talley can take some comfort in his quarterbacks recent performance. Now fully over a concussion sustained last month, Zach Bednarczyk completed 23 of 31 passes for a career-high 326 yards and three touchdowns in the Maine win. The sophomore appears back in top form heading into an intriguing matchup with counterpart Bryan Schor, whos hit on a remarkable 79.2 percent of his throws for 858 yards and 12 touchdowns with no interceptions over a three-game roll.It just doesnt matter for either of these guys. It could be rain, sleet or snow, and theyre going to perform, Talley said. Theyre both real good at finding people on the run, especially Bryan Schor. Hes done a great job with that. I must have watched the JMU-Richmond game five times and continued to be amazed with how long he keeps plays going. I think its a matchup of two really, really good quarterbacks and two football teams that are on a hard charge.Bednarczyk rushed for a career-high 157 yards and two touchdowns in last years meeting with JMU, but committed four turnovers -- two of which the Dukes returned for touchdowns in a 38-29 victory in Harrisonburg.The home team has won six straight in the series, with the Dukes last winning at Villanova in 2008.
