Hoping the Derby win is the kick-start that the Dockers need for a good stretch of form.

Artists as young as 13 can now enter the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder’s annual Art Prize exhibition which showcases the talents of artists from across Australia.

THE cost of household bills has jumped this month as price rises hit across the board.

However, a few steps can help curb the cost of running essential appliances.

Here are our cash-saving apps to help you budget and keep track of your finances[/caption]

Follow these tips to save on energy and water bills . . . 

STAND-OFF: Laptops, TVs and games consoles account for around six per cent of energy bills, according to the Energy Saving Trust.

Simply switching devices off standby can save around £45 each year.

PUSH THE BUTTON: Washing machines, dishwashers and tumble driers are typically the most energy-hungry appliances.

Heading into summer you can dry more clothes outside.

On dishwasher and washing machines use the eco setting (normally at 30C), using less energy and water.

Helind Morais, of LG Electronics, said: “What some people don’t realise is that most items can be washed on an eco-cycle setting.

“Hot washes can be saved for items such as bedding, towels and sportswear, as these are most likely to host more bacteria. ”

HAVE YOUR FILL: Make sure that you wait to run both the dishwasher and washing machine with full loads rather than turning them on half full.

This should help cut down on the amount of cycles you are doing and therefore curb bills.

But be careful not to overload as this can mean clothes or crockery are not properly cleaned.

In a washing machine make sure there is space between the top of the load and the top of the drum — you should be able to fit a hand between.

FOOD PREP: Try to avoid overfilling your kettle, so you only use the water — and energy to heat it — you need.

An easy way to do this is to fill your cup with water and tip into the kettle before boiling.

Microwaves are more efficient than ovens for heating food up, while air fryers use less energy to cook meals.

LIAM LAWSON says his brutal Red Bull axing after just two races came as a total shock.

The Kiwi driver, 23, was sacked by the team after a woeful start to the season which saw him knocked out at the first stage of all three qualifying sessions, failing to pick up a single point.

Yuki Tsunoda has taken Liam Lawson’s Red Bull seat[/caption]

Lawson returned to Red Bull’s sister team Racing Bulls in a swap with 24-year-old Yuki Tsunoda ahead of this weekend’s Japanese GP.

He told Sky Sports: “It was definitely a shock, honestly. It’s not something that I saw coming,

“The discussions we were having weren’t really leaning in this direction, so it was definitely not something that I expected.”

Red Bull chose to promote Lawson from their junior squad Racing Bulls after just 11 Grand Prix appearances in two short spells across 2023 and 2024, despite Tsunoda having more experience.

Lawson added: “Obviously, I would have loved more time,

“We had a rocky testing. We had a rocky first weekend in Melbourne with practice. And then obviously China was a sprint.

“But obviously, it’s not my decision, so I’m here to make the most of this one.”

The team’s motorsport adviser Helmut Marko has since come out and said they “made a mistake” signing Lawson over Tsunoda.

Ahead of his Red Bull debut in Japan this weekend, Tsunoda has also opened up on the switch.

He admitted to the BBC: “We didn’t talk yet (Tsunoda and Lawson). I’m sure we’re going to be around anyway in Tokyo with the events so let’s see how it goes.

“Hopefully as a friendship we won’t make anything ruined or get damaged.

“I think I’ve felt it a little bit in the first half of the season this year, so probably we don’t have the friendship we used to have from when we were fighting in junior categories, but I think that’s natural, fighting for the seat and everything.

“I know he is a funny guy and I know how to make our relationship good but let’s see how it goes, it’s not easy.”

On how the move came about following the Chinese Grand Prix, Tsunoda added: “First call I got was from Christian (Horner), I heard expectations from him and also what kind of team dynamics they’re having. He said welcome to Red Bull Racing and he was excited. 

“Be as close as possible to Max. Red Bull Racing are focused on Max scoring a Drivers’ Championship.

“He proved that he can be a world champion even though Red Bull is struggling.

“He also promised me in some situations that if I’m able to be in front of Max that he wouldn’t necessarily ask me to swap positions and make Max win.

“I’m sure it wouldn’t be easy anyway to beat Max straight away. I have to get used to the car. I’m very excited.”

A POPULAR amusement park has mysteriously shut after just two months.

The shocking announcement blamed “unforeseen circumstances” for the closure.

The indoor amusement park was located just one mile from the A30 at Lifton, Devon[/caption]

Facebook / dinglesfunpark

The venue had only been run as it was known for two months[/caption]

Dingles Fun Park opened just off the A30 near Lifton in February this year.

But the family-friendly park will now permanently close, with its Pop Fest tribute festival also being cancelled.

Dingles was an exciting new addition for Devon when the park took over from Dingles Fairground Museum.

Ticket-holders will receive full refunds for what was expected to be a joyous event.

Known for its free entry, the park had plans to expand its token-based rides.

It is thought soft play areas were expected to be introduced alongside shows, festivals and tribute acts.

Locals have been left in the dark with one commenting on social media: “Wow, can’t believe this is closed already.”

Another put: “I had the best time there, the twister was great.”

Someone previously wrote: “I visited Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre in Devon today.

“Very interesting, informative and fun rides to go on!”

Regulars to the site will have been able to test out the variety of classic rides.

These include the Waltzer, Dodgems, Crazy Shake Miami and Twister.

The Fun House, Chair-o-Planes, trampolines, Helter Skelter, Teacups and Hook a Duck will likely be missed too.

Park manager Tom Ellis, an experienced showman who has helped run two amusement parks, previously told DevonLive: “It’s good to bring something back to the area after the loss of Flambards and Dairyland Farm Park in Cornwall”.

The statement released stated: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Dingles Fun Park is now closed, the Pop Fest tribute festival will also be cancelled due to the park closure.

“All festival tickets will be refunded via ticket sailor.

“We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.”

The post has gained more than 100 reactions and 45 shares so far.

It comes after the Fairground Museum announced last November that it was set to close for good.

After serving the community for more than 20 years, Dingles was “gutted” to be closing.

The venue, which had plans to expand its token-based rides, thanked visitors and friends for their support over the years.

A FRENCH club has plumbed new depths … after a SINKHOLE appeared in their pitch during a game.

US Vicquoise’s star striker filled it with a load of sand to enable the match to continue.

Another player had to fill it with sand so the game could continue[/caption]

But visiting team Ingrandes went on to win 3-2 despite one of their players falling into the hole.

Sunday’s lower-league clash in Vienne, central France, came to a halt as the 4ft deep crater opened up.

But Vicquoise striker Sebastien Collet, a builder by trade, drove a digger-load of sand onto the pitch for his teammates to repair the damage.

An Ingrandes spokesman said: “Our team had an unusual experience on Sunday. Our striker fell in the penalty area with no-one near him.

“We all laughed, but he said there was a hole in the pitch.  We went onto the field and found it.

“Thankfully at Vicq there are no problems, just solutions. Their number 10 is a saviour as well as a goalscorer and women’s team coach.

“He went home to get a bucketload of sand to fill the hole – and the game restarted 10 minutes later as if nothing had happened.

“We thank US Vicquoise for this great moment of fun, and for showing the sort of spirit we’d love to see every weekend.

“Long live amateur football, and life in the country.”

Vicquoise director Charly Collet said: “It created some atmosphere during the game, and made everyone laugh.

“This has never happened to us before during a match.

“But an old guy who was marking out the lines on the pitch has previously fallen into the hole.”

CHELSEA starlet Donnell McNeilly is yet to sign a new contract amid worries over his lack of first-team opportunities.

The talented striker, 19, has been a shining beacon of Chelsea’s youth sides over the past several seasons.

Last term saw McNeilly score 30 goals in all competitions.

And just a week ago, the ace put Enzo Maresca’s seniors to the sword with two strikes in a behind-closed-doors friendly.

McNeilly’s brace helped Chelsea’s kids beat their mega-million counterparts 3-0, leading to Maresca cancelling a day off in fury.

However, the hitman is still yet to make his senior debut for the club.

McNeilly has seen no less than eight of his U21 pals make matchday squads under Maresca this season.

And the Mail claims he is now growing frustrated by the lack of opportunities, especially considering Chelsea’s striker crisis.

Both Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu are long-term casualties, while the likes of Christopher Nkunku and Cole Palmer have gone off the boil.

The bad news for Chelsea is that McNeilly’s contract, which he penned in 2022, expires this summer.

BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS

A new deal is said to be on the table.

But McNeilly is yet to sign it, potentially signalling his intent to quit Stamford Bridge on a free transfer.

And unless he is given assurances of a pathway to the first team, it’s believed he could part ways with Chelsea this summer.

McNeilly isn’t the only promising youngster out of contract shortly.

Goalkeeper Lucas Bergstrom’s deal also expires in June.

He has made multiple matchday squads as a sub but is yet to make his senior debut.

Chelsea will have a plethora of goalies next season when loanees Mike Penders, Djordje Petrovic and Kepa Arrizabalaga join Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen.

And there may not be any room for Bergstrom at the club.
